Episode 4: Dora Maar at the Tate Modern discussed by Vikki Kosmalska and Caz Murray. 

For our final episode of series 4 we delve into the world of photographer, painter and poet Dora Maar. History has remembered Maar primarily for being the muse and lover of Picasso and the full breath of her artistic output has only been recognised since her death in 1997. 

This exhibition is re-writing her back into the artistic canon, shining a light on her innovative and varied photographic practice, her influential role in the Surrealist movement and how she collaborated (and influenced) her better know peers. 

For Art News, we cover the recent decision to award The Turner Prize to 4 artists. Wider opinion on this is mixed and we discuss what means in the current climate and implications for The Turner Prize in future. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has tuned in this season (and this year!) If you like what you hear please rate, review and subscribe.

Our wonderful editor Jonny Lennard has also launched his own podcast The Old Boys Book Club. It's not about art, but we highly recommend you give it a listen. Available on all major podcast platforms and you can find them on insta here: @theoldboysbookclub. 

Last but not least - thank you to the incredible Nat Witts for our jazzy jingle and Jonny for his amazing editing. 

Merry Christmas from The Artcast and see you in the New Year (and new decade) for more chats about art!
