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.
