The Nude in Art
If there is one genre of art that seems to have played a greater role than any other, it is the nude. For at least 30,000 years, humans have represented the naked form in a variety of ways. From the ideal to the real, the Romantic to the Surrealist, there has been almost no end of works devoted to the unclothed human body. This series---presented by writer and broadcaster Tim Marlow - will examine those artworks, the societies that produced them and the artists that made them.
