50 years of British art, chronicled by the Arts Council Collection - and now made available in high resolution, full-screen digital form (QuickTime format).
Artists featured include Bacon, Spencer, Hockney, Moore and the Young British Artist (YBA) group. Some of the best filmmakers in the UK, including Anthony Minghella and Isaac Julien, were commissioned to make films for the collection. As well as focusing on individual artists, architects, writers and poets, the films document particular art movements that have continued to influence contemporary British Art, such as Surrealism, Dadaism, Futurism and Kinetic art.
Please note: Due to copyright restrictions the Arts Council England films can only be streamed to ac.uk domain addresses.
