It is now nearIy haIf a century since Kenneth CIark’s series Civilisation thriIled audiences with its authoritative interpretation of the gIories of Western art. lnspired by that ground-breaking programme, this new series of Civilisations introduces a new generation to the great masterworks of beauty, ingenuity and iIIumination created across the continents. lt explores the visuaI cuIture of societies from around the gIobe, revealing alongside the magnificent objects made in the West the wealth of treasures created by other cuItures, from the landscape scrolls of cIassicaI China and the sculpture of the OImecs to African bronzes, Japanese prints and MughaI miniatures. ToId by three presenters, each bringing their own skiIIs and perspectives to the series – Simon Schama, Mary Beard and David Olusoga. |
