3/4 British Masters - 1. We Are Making a New World

• British Masters
Episode 1/3 In a major re-calibration of 20th-century British paintings, art historian James Fox argues that British painting from 1910 to 1975 was an extraordinary flowering of genius. He predicts that art historians of the future will rank the period alongside the Golden Ages of Renaissance Italy and Impressionist France.

What Mr Fox doesn't tell us, because he doesn't agree with Nevinson or the futurists ideas, is that while he's making fun of Nevinson being 'too weak' he actually had a medical condition which caused his weakness yet he still signed up to volunteer for the war.

Another vacuous doc which is more about the presenter making pithy comments, rather than the art itself. A real shame, as the subject is potentially interesting.
