Episode Overview
Critical reception
The series won several awards including a BAFTA.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thetvdb.com/series/this-is-modern-art|title=This is Modern Art - TheTVDB.com|website=www.thetvdb.com|access-date=2020-01-30}}{{Cite web | url=https://topdocumentaryfilms.com/this-is-modern-art/ | title=This is Modern Art}} It became popular both because of its sometimes jokey and sometimes thoughtful explanations of the work and attitude of a new wave of artists that had recently been publicized in the British mass media, and because of its author's witty and irreverent, though clearly highly informed, commentary style. Collings went on to create several more TV series and programmes for Channel 4, including Impressionism Revenge of The Nice, Self Portraits The Me Generations and This Is Civilisation.
