How to Look at a Painting

12 x 23 HD

This dazzling art series reveals a fresh and exciting perspective on how to truly appreciate and better understand the world of painting.

 

Senior curator and best-selling arts author Justin Paton takes us on a highly visual journey of exploration across the painted world to uncover and examine the marvels and mysteries of painting. He demystifies art by guiding viewers through the historical and contemporary world of painting over 5,000 years, appealing to novice viewers, sceptics and experts alike.

 

Each episode focuses on a different topic and provides viewers with visual answers to our search for understanding, in a thematic journey through the painted world of both New Zealand and international art and artists. From abstract to religious, contemporary to historical, portrait to landscape and from installations to paintings that seem like nothing at all, this is a journey through the unpredictable and wonderful, ever-changing world of art.

 

Learn to relax around paintings and know what you like – it’s an art series like never seen before on television!
