Dive deep into the world of art, exploring its myriad forms, its illustrious history, and its transformative power.

How does the startling beauty - and humour - of Aboriginal art intertwine with reverberations of the past and our present?

An extraordinary first-hand account of the international battle to reclaim the artwork and heritage of one of Australia's most important Indigenous figures: Albert Namatjira.Namatjira was one of those rare artists who changed the course of history. But he was never fully accepted by white Australia, and after being wrongfully imprisoned, he died despondent and broken. Then, in 1983, the Government sold the rights to his work to a dealer – despite Namatjira having left his art to his wife and children. NAMATJIRA PROJECT documents their fight to have his legacy returned to its rightful home.

This documentary investigates the complete story of Van Gogh’s life and work: from his childhood in Brabant, through his laborious years of apprenticeship in Nuenen and artistic coming-of-age in Paris to the exhilarating peak of his career in the south of France. The documentary contains all of the artist’s masterpieces as well as numerous lesser-known paintings and sketches.

In the fascinating Great Artist series, we investigate some of the best artists in history - examining their influence, style and what exactly made them so unique. In this double package we examine two of the most revered Post-Impressionists; Gauguin, the bold experimenter, influenced by the art of Asia and Africa, and Van Gogh, the uniquely bold and colourful genius who has come to epitomise great art in the minds of many.
