The Art of Russia Presenter Andrew Graham-Dixon	The Art of Russia : 3 x 60 minutes. Art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon travels through time to unlock the world of Russian art. He explores how Russia changed from a feudal nation of aristocratic excess to a hotbed of revolution at the beginning of the 20th century and how art moved from being a servant of the state to an agent of its destruction. From monuments that celebrate the absolutism of the tsars to the epic Russian landscape as inspiration; from the design and construction of gold and glittering palaces to the minutiae of diamond-encrusted Faberge eggs; and eventually to the stark and radical paintings of the avant-garde, the journey through Russian art history is one of extraordinary beauty and surprise. 1 - Out Of The Forest 2 - Road To Revolution 3 - Smashing The Mould	2009	3 x 60
