Power of Art

If you like arts, you might find the ‘Power of Art’ interesting; this is a programme from the BBC presented by Simon Schama (http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/powerofart/).

About the series
The ‘Power of Art’ was shown on the BBC in 2006; when the programme finished it was left on the Internet for reference, so we thought it would be a good online resource for you to read in English.

On the website, they talk about artists such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Picasso...  Simon Schama describes the TV programme with the following sentence: “This is not a series about things that hang on walls; it is not about decor or prettiness. It is a series about the force, the need, the passion of art ...the power of art.”

A word about the author
Simon Schama is known for his career as a British historian and an art historian, and he is responsible for the BBC documentary series as well. At the link suggested above, he introduces us to some artists from the TV series he presents and explains why he has chosen these artists and how fascinating they (and their artworks) are.
