Robert Hughes.

Part 8 of an 8-part series which presents a social history of the impact and development of the visual arts in the 20th century by art critic and writer Robert Hughes. In each episode, Hughes examines the forces which monitored the directions painting, architecture and photography took from the late 1800s to the present. In this episode Robert Hughes discusses the future of modern art. Examines how modern art has gradually lost its sense of newness and possibility and how the avant garde has become a dying form. Explores the influences museums, investment and the media have had on the general public's response to modern art.
