The Disordered Eye
9pm, BBC Four
Disabled artist and film-maker Richard Butchins fronts this fascinating documentary, analysing how impaired vision may have affected the work of artistic masters such as Degas, Monet, Cézanne and Munch, while questioning whether we actually need good eyesight to make “good” art. Butchins is engaging when it comes to assessing the changing forms of Degas’ work as his eyesight failed, as well as proposing new ways to engage with creating artworks, including life drawing by feeling 3D-printed sculptures.

Film choice
World War Z (Marc Forster, 2013), 10.45pm, Film4
Max Brooks’s novel gets the Hollywood blockbuster treatment from Forster.
