Summer Special Episode 1: Edvard Munch, Love & Angst at The British Museum discussed by Caz Murray and Vikki Kosmalska. 

The Artcast is back and jumping straight into it exploring life, death, love and suffering with Edvard Munch. Best known for his work ‘The Scream’, the painter and print maker is probably the epitome of existentialism. 

Although covering weighty subjects, this exhibition is strangely refreshing and provided so much to talk about: whether Munch was as on board with the bohemian way of life as he professed to be, his ambivalent relationship towards women, the impact of traumatic losses during his childhood and how hair really is everything (to quote Fleabag series 2). 

Laura is still part of team Artcast and will be returning for the next full series in September. In the meantime, Caz and Vikki do their best to guess what her reactions would be (note always add more gilding).

For Art News, Vikki and Caz discuss their new baroque feminist fav Donna Olympia Maidalchini Pampilj and you can read more about her here: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/jun/23/velazquez-portrait-olimpia-maidalchini-pamphilj-feminist-power-behind-a-pope-sothebys-sale
