WARTIME ART

Art That Made Us, 9pm, BBC2

-

THE penultimat­e episode, Wars And Peace, is one of the best, as experts describe the trauma of the World Wars and their impact on art. Yeats’s poem Easter, 1916, Powell and Pressburge­r’s film The Life & Death Of Colonel Blimp, the abstract forms of the sculptor Barbara Hepworth and Indian artist F.N. Souza’s 1959 painting Crucifixio­n are among the influentia­l works that changed the way we saw the world around us.
