Brandi_B Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I can't give much info. It was quite lengthy (many parts). The host was (I assume) English (at least i gathered as much from his accent). It was very thorough, and went to many museum's and had lots of detail throughout it's sections, and iirc, was a great series. Saw it in 2001 in my class "Art and Music in Western Culture". It was all basically European art. I've been really wanting to see it again. Yes I have tried googling, and youtubing. thx.

Guest Masonic Boom Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I can't actually remember when this came out (00s some time) but it's quite fantastic: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/howart/ American link which seems to be more recently updated: http://www.pbs.org/howartmadetheworld/ I absolutely <3 Nigel Spivey, he's a Cambridge historian who does quite a lot of programmes about art history over here.

Guest Masonic Boom Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 ACtually that's probably not your series, I think it's too late. But it's still worth watching. Especially anyone interested in the hallucinatory state/lucid dreaming/altered mind states, he actually has really convincing evidence that the very first human artists did so in an effort to replicate trance states. http://www.pbs.org/howartmadetheworld/episodes/pictures/ Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/52876-seeking-a-specific-art-documentaryseries/#findComment-1225380 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandi_B Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 None of these are it so far. But thx for trying. And that stuff Kaen recommended looks awesome. I'm pretty sure it wasn't PBS b/c iirc my professor said the set of all the videos was quite pricey.
