Looking at how art responded to the age of progress in the 19th Century, David Olusoga shows us how Art struggled to depict the Industrial revolution, and how it became a tool to record the fates supposedly doomed people. It ends in Paris of the late 19th Century as artists being to try to make sense of the new world that had been so quickly created. It ends with the man who tried to escape that new world - Gauguin.
