Product Information
Lord Kenneth Clark conceived, wrote, and narrates this incredibly ambitious and fascinating series studying the origins of Western culture and the importance of art in human society. Far from being an art history lesson, CIVILISATION begins with the brutality of the Dark Ages and works its way through to the 20th Century highlighting the advances in art that would illuminate technology, political revolution, religion, and all aspects of society. Clark explores the often overlooked influence and inspiration of art in such diverse matters of importance as the invention of the telescope and the building of the skyscrapers that currently fuel the economy of New York. Classical music and its relationship to religion, poetry and its respect for nature, and Parisian art conversations gradually evolving into revolutionary political discussion are only some of the examples that Clark uses to get his point across in this insightful journey consisting of thirteen episodes and spanning thousands of years.Product Identifiers
