This film seeks to uncover how art reflects and influences our existence. It’s not a plea for art but it makes the case that it is a vital part of human culture and through it our lives are enrichened as by no other means. Through a knowledge and experience of art we come to better understand ourselves and to make the most of the wonderful opportunities life offers.
Exploring how it has permeated all the different human societies around the world film maker Malcolm Hossick tries to untangle all the issues of talent, money and taste which converge over art and how it works.
