Summer Special Episode 2: Van Gogh and Britain at the Tate Britain
Summer Special Episode 2: Van Gogh and Britain at the Tate Britain discussed by Caz Murray and Vikki Kosmalska. Van Gogh needs no introduction and is up there as one of the most famous and talked about artists of the modern era (see the slew of bio pics about him if you need evidence). And yet, the Tate Britain pulls off an ambitious exhibition offering new perspectives on his life and work, through exploring what influenced him and who he influenced in turn. We discuss notions of the individual creative genius and the tortured artist, both attributed to Gogh, and what we miss by viewing him this way. And as always, we pick our favourite pieces to add to our now rather substantial hypothetical art collection.
