ROBERT HUGHES - AMERICAN VISIONS
(In 8 episodes - Links to all are below)
EPISODE 1: THE REPUBLIC OF VIRTUEFirst broadcast 3 November, 1996
The first Part of the First Episode of American Visions is shown in the video just below. There is also a text link to this first video, and links to all other Parts of the First through the Last Episodes of "American Visions." Each video is close to eleven minutes long. If you intend to watch the whole series via these links, you could copy this entire post and paste it into an email that you send to yourself, so that whenever it's convenient for you, you can watch the next video in the series by clicking on a link in your email rather than having to get online, find your way to this post, and start all over again. At the bottom of this post there is a video interview with Robert Hughes (who died this month: August, 2012), as well as links to a biography/obituary and to the book American Visions by Robert Hughes.

(Be forewarned: This is the part that is so disturbing because of the cringe-inducing scene showing American "eco-extremists" wailing on and on. However, aside from this one scene, this, to me, it's fine.)
