DESCRIPTION:In 1969\, standing in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral\, Ken
 neth Clark posed the question: “What is civilisation?” His answer: “I do
 n’t know. I can’t define it. But I think I can recognise it when I see i
 t\, and in fact I am looking at it now.”\n\nSince then\, Clarke has been
  criticised for his focus on Western art and male artists\, his hatred o
 f Surrealism\, Abstraction\, and Pop Art and his rejection of Marxism. Y
 et the breadth of Clarke’s knowledge was immense and he was committed to
  making art accessible for all.\n\nAs part of the BBC Civilisations Fest
 ival\, join us at the Whitworth to revisit Clark’s famous TV series Civi
 lisation using outstanding examples of objects from the museum’s rich co
 llections. Join Gillian Forrester\, Senior Curator of Historic Fine Art\
 , Leanne Green\, Assistant Curator of Fine Art and Luke Uglow\, Lecturer
  in Art History\, University of Manchester in considering artworks that 
 might have been included in Clark’s show\, including prints by Albrecht 
 Dürer\, Marcantonio Raimondi and Pieter Bruegel the Elder\, watercolours
  by J.M.W. Turner and Jean François Millet\, and those works of the type
  that he strategically left out.\n\nTogether we will debate the contribu
 tion made by Clark in his original television series\, and ask: “What is
  Civilisation today?”\n\n\nThis event is part of our Thursday Late serie
 s - eclectic late-night openings until 9pm every Thursday\, with music\,
  performances\, talks and screenings.\n\n\n \n\n
