Immaterial: 5,000 Years of Art, One Material at a Time

5.0/5

Critic Rating

Stories of the materials used in making art are often as thought-provoking and illuminating as the objects themselves. From The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Immaterial examines the materials of art and what they can reveal about history and humanity. Each episode looks at a single material: paper, clay, jade, shells, and others, exploring the qualities and meanings that are often overlooked.

"I swear, the experts in this episode explain it much better than me and their dedication to maintaining these pieces of art is so cool to hear."
