Critical reception

The series won several awards including a BAFTA.[2][3] 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.

gollark: Do you think it's worth adding internet connection detection so if example.com is down it ignores pings?
gollark: The new version comes with teapot detection which I think is neat.
gollark: Amazing.
gollark: I don't know if I actually use any 1.4.2 features.
