Tonight Jeremy Isaacs introduces three television landmarks from 25 years of BBC2. The Personal View series, wide-ranging and often spectacular visual essays on the arts, began in 1969 with Sir Kenneth Clark 's Civilisation. It became the most watched arts series of all time, subsequently playing on television networks all over the world. The Fallacies of Hope
'Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive' wrote Wordsworth of the early days of the French Revolution. But the storming of the Bastille led not to freedom but to the Terror, the dictatorship of Napoleon and the dreary bureaucracies of the 19th century.
Kenneth Clark traces the progressive disillusionment of the artists of the Romantic movement, through the music of Beethoven, the poetry of Byron, the paintings of Gericault,
Turner and Delacroix and the sculpture of Rodin.

Civilisation

Episode 12: The Fallacies of Hope

Duration: 49 minutes

on BBC Two England

Available for years

Kenneth Clark traces the progressive disillusionment of the artists of the Romantic movement during the 19th century. Show more

In contrast to the more expansive, and expensive. range of Kenneth Clark 's history of Civilisation, John Berger 's series from 1972 re-examined the ways we look at painting and photography, manipulated by the medium and the context in which they are seen. The impact of the more modest series was arguably as influential as that of Civilisation. Ways of Seeing still stands as a provocative and witty warning to the viewer to beware. In this first programme, John Berger suggests that art is no longer a constant: photographic reproduction has changed the way we see paintings from the past. He describes how television can manipulate our responses to an image by the use of words or music. Produced by MICHAEL DIBB (R)

With the dawn of the 80s,
Robert Hughes 's provocative series looked at modern art in a century of change - a century that, in his view, created 'some of the most challenging, intelligent and beautiful works of art ever made by man, along with a mass of superfluity and rubbish'.
The Mechanical Paradise At the turn of the century, rapid advances in science and technology radically changed man's view of himself and his world. This film shows the optimism with which people in general, and artists in particular, reacted to the machine age.
