Art of Myths, The (Vol 1)

Alternative title: Arts du Mythe, Les
Synopsis: The stories behind some of the great artworks and artefacts from cultures of the world. Initially derided as curios of ‘primitive’ art, and even though they served as inspirations for some of the great artworks of the 20th century, the richness of the cultures that produced the pieces has received only belated appreciation. These programmes share the stories behind Aboriginal Bark Painting, a Dogon Heddle Pulley, a Fang Reliquary Figurine, a Hopi Doll, a Mongolian Horsehead Violin, an Iatmul Skull, Kaiapo Plumage, a Kwakiutl Transformation Mask and Easter Island Moai.
