The Way Things Are
Pieter Bruegel (1530-69) was born in the Low Countries and died in Brussels when he was about 40. 'No painter has ever given so much to the awareness of society.'
In the second in a series of six films
Sir Lawrence Gowing continues to explore the nature of realism in painting. 'Great artists of the 16th century glorified the best in man and faced the worst,' he says, 'but only
Bruegel knew the grotesque normality of lives like ours.' Bruegel was a model exercise bringing the artist and his subversive but reassuring art to life. TIMES Film editor SUSAN SPIVEY
