Season 5 Episode 6 of 6
Oscar-winning actor and Cambridge art historian Eddie Redmayne explores how conflict has inspired creativity, visiting studios, museums and battlefield locations to reveal how war artists have left a unique legacy. He talks about the canvasses of the great war painters such as Paul Nash, JS Sargent and Henry Tonks, as well as the modernists CRW Nevinson and David Bomberg, whose pictures responded to the weaponry of the new machine world in bold abstract forms that changed the artistic landscape for ever
