This is art

Episode Synopsis

Fear: A journey through fear—which confines us within its four walls, preventing us from living—to discover how artists have suffered from it and fought it: from composers (Rachmaninoff, Chopin) to painters (Turner, Cézanne, Masson), from writers (Kafka, Shelley, Polidori, Wilde, Lovecraft, Poe, Stevenson, Stoker), to film directors (Balagueró). The episode shows how the ancient Egyptians' way of exorcising fear is not dissimilar from that of ordinary people today, leading inexorably to the conclusion that fear is only in our heads.
