Exhibition Manet - Portraying Life

Phil Grabsky and Ben Harding direct this documentary exploring the life and work of the French artist Edouard Manet. The film is centred around an exhibition of the painter's work held at the Royal Academy in London called 'Manet - Portraying Life'. With art historian Tim Marlow as a guide, the viewer is taken on a journey around the exhibition, with insight offered on the meaning of the paintings and the biographical circumstances from which they arose.
