A Point of View - Daring to Marvel
"How long", asks Howard Jacobson, "before the protocols of looking forbid our looking appreciatively at anyone?"
He explores the enormous difficulties surrounding the language of appreciation, "no matter whether the viewer in question is a mechanic ogling a pin-up in his workshop or an art critic pausing at a wall of French nudes in the Wallace Collection".
Producer: Adele Armstrong.
