One Pair of Eyes

Season 2 Episode 7: Cecil Collins: Fools and Angels

Cecil Collins is a visionary artist who has followed a lonely path outside mainstream modern art and its fads and fashions. His vision is now increasingly recognised, especially by many of the younger generation, on whom his work has made a deep impression. Collins believes the sacred purpose of the artist is to remind mankind of a world above and beyond our everyday preoccupations. He paints images of the paradise he feels we have lost in a blind drive for technological mastery over nature. 'Living with a vision is very difficult, but living without a vision is worse.'
