13 Part Series on DVD
By Colin Clark/VPS Limited
Released 1974
Classic art presented a world of harmony and decorum, where reason prevails over the dark forces of the unknown. Romantic artists were fascinated by the three great irrationals: fear, sex and death. In this film series, Lord Kenneth Clark analyzes the personalities of the period's leading artists, and examines the character of their work.
