After another group project Astounding Universe of Colors (Video), I decided to push the notion of visual texture and color to embody the spirit of a documentary about major painters, titled the Power of Art.
Power of Art is a BBC documentary series written and presented by Simon Schama. The series was broadcast in October and November 2006 on BBC2. Each of the eight one-hour episodes examines the biography of an artist and one of his key works through Schama's considerations and occasional reenactments: 1. Caravaggio – David with the Head of Goliath (c. 1610) 2. Bernini – Ecstasy of Saint Teresa (1657) 3. Rembrandt – The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis (1662) 4. David – The Death of Marat (1793) 5. Turner – The Slave Ship (1840) 6. Van Gogh – Wheatfield with Crows (1890) 7. Picasso – Guernica (1937) 8. Rothko – Black on Maroon (1958)
