What is Beauty? (Matthew Collings) - as seen on the BBC (DVD)

Is beauty only found in the eye of the beholder or is there something more universal we can say about it? In this visually stunning BBC programme, renowned art critic Matthew Collings takes us on a thoughtful and extraordinary exploration of the subject of beauty in art.

Collings explores the timeless principles that explain the rush of pleasure we get from beautiful art in the works of Piero della Francesca, Michelangelo, Magritte, Gauguin and American artist Robert Rauschenberg among others. From the prehistoric cave art of the Dordogne to the masterpieces of the Renaissance and to the much more debatable pleasures of contemporary art, discover the underlying tenets of beauty in art that have lasted through the ages.
