The Genius of British Art 7:00pm - 8:00pm Channel 4 Flesh 3/6, series 1

Howard Jacobson celebrates the way British artists depict sex and desire, demonstrating the ways in which this theme was depicted in the art of the Victorians. He explains how creative pioneers such as William Etty introduced the nation to the nude in the 1820s, defining the era as a golden age of sexual imagery. The writer also examines the ways in which works from this time display an awareness of the consequences of sex - a feature he believes to be absent from the creative output of other countries.
