Presenter/co-writer Tim Marlow
Director/co-writer Phil Grabsky
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.
