Civilisation, a TV series by Kenneth Clark
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2021 9:12 pm
In the 1970s, Dr. Pierce would gather a few around to watch the episodes of this show that first aired on BBC and then by PBS, and then have a discussion afterwards. In all there were 13 episodes focused on art, all narrated by Lord Clark, and with a subtle White view given with each episode. These are on Jootube, unfortunately, but are free, fortunately. For how long I cannot say, so let's take advantage of their availability now before that odious platform sends them down the memory hole.
