Review PBS American Visions The History of American Art and Architecture / Pbs Home Video:"What can we say about Americans from the things they've made? When we look at them through the lens of their art, what do we see?," host and acclaimed TIME magazine art critic Robert Hughes asks. This extraordinary series presents a panoramic view of American history as reflected by artists in every medium and genre, from "primitive" portraits of the Colonial era to the complex visions of the present day. Explore the luminous, almost sacred work of early-American landscape artists. The varied experiences of 19th century America appear in the paintings of John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt and Winslow Homer. Discover how a uniquely American modernism was forged at the 1913 Armory Show, and ponder the creative genius that blossomed during the '20s, the Depression years and the exciting, innovative periods following World War II. Titles are: "The Republic of Virtue," "The Promised Land," "The Wilderness and the West," "The Gilded Age," "A Wave from the Atlantic," "Streamlines and Breadlines," "The Empire of Signs," and "The Age of Anxiety.

Review Painting the World (2pc) / Homevision:Neil MacGregor, director of the National Gallery in London, leads us with remarkable attention to detail through five centuries of European painting. Two hours in length, the program is divided in four segments; each can be viewed separately. Though he focuses on one painting in each segment to illustrate the viewpoint of people living in that century, MacGregor introduces us to numerous paintings in the National Gallery. He strolls through rooms filled with superb art as visitors of all ages look at paintings, making the appreciation of art appear natural and the art seem easily accessible. By looking directly at the viewer, MacGregor draws us into examining the paintings with new eyes. Rather than define them in terms of the artist's hand, he teaches us about the symbols in the paintings and their meaning. In the first segment, Hans Memling's portrait of the Donne family shows them in an altar triptych kneeling before the Virgin, the Infant Christ, and various saints, reflecting the 15th-century viewpoint that one's place in the world was due to God's grace. In subsequent segments, MacGregor shows how the 16th century embraced images and values of ancient Greece and Rome, emphasizing human relationships and friendship, while the 17th-century focus was on one's relationship to nature. The 18th and 19th centuries are summarized by the impact of the newly discovered laws of science on the choice of subject matter, and the new paints available to the artist. Thorough, lucid, and eloquently narrated, this program is a must-see for any art or cultural history lover. [+]-Anne Barclay Morgan This illuminating series from the BBC uses masterpieces from the National Gallery, London, to explore the European world view as it developed over five centuries-from the late Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution.

Review Two Thousand Years : The History of Christianity / Films for the Humani:This spectacular 10-part documentary series charts the story of Christianity from its very beginning to the second millennial anniversary of Jesus' birth, set against the panoramic sweep of 2,000 years of history. Each program, lavishly filmed at historic sights, focuses on two centuries in the spread of a religion that has had a profound role in shaping our world. We see how the birth of Jesus and the spread of His teachings led inevitably to a clash with Rome, and how the outlawed faith ultimately overcame centuries of persecution to triumph and spread throughout the world. This is the complete story: the history, the ideas, the contradictions, the disputes - everything from wars to individual acts of extraordinary devotion. In addition to the historical narrative, Two Thousand Years includes commentary by noted theologians, historians, and religious leaders who offer varying perspectives on the controversies and challenges that face Christianity as it enters its third millenium. This acclaimed series is narrated by the renowned British writer and broadcaster, Melvyn Bragg.
