Eight films on modern art and a century of change.
Presented by Robert Hughes 6:The View from the Edge
There is a strand of art running through this century which deals with the dark extremities of human emotion: panic; loneliness; fear; even self-disgust.
Such men as Van Gogh , Munch, Bacon or Rothko - often described as Expressionists - share a passion that opens sometimes terrifying vistas of our deepest anxieties. They have left us their view over the precipice.
