One Pair of Eyes, the celebrated series of highly-personal films, ran for eight years-1967-1974. For this series one programme from each of those years has been selected.
1970: John Skeaping painter and sculptor of animals, describes his approach to art in I Draw as Though I Were a Horse Writing his Autobiography
"Today we are not as dependent on animals as we once were. Our approach to animals is largely based on sentiment-we like to credit them with human intelligence - and animal art has come to be regarded as a lower form of art."
John Skeaping believes passionately that animal art can only survive if it is based on a true relationship between man and beast. Tonight he describes how he has found such a relationship among the animals of the Camargue, in the South of France, where he lives and works.
