548. The Language of Painting with Martin Gayford

There have been periods throughout history when cultural aficionados of the time proclaimed that painting was dead! Yet, the artform has risen over and over again. What is it about painting that makes it so timeless and gives it the ability to continuously evolve? Why, after centuries, can we still be awestruck by the right combination of brushstokes? Art critic Martin Gayford has interviewed many artists over his lifetime about their craft. His books explore painting through a multitude of eras and even gives a personal account of what it's like to sit for a painting in Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian Freud. His latest book, How Painting Happens (and why it matters), compiles wisdom from numerous artists past and present. Martin and Greg discuss the challenges of writing about a non-linguistic medium like painting, the unique, often physical process of painting, and insights Martin has gleaned from his conversations with contemporary artists, including what makes a painting a great one.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:The silent intensity of painting16:13: You don't have to talk or put things in words to think. There is such a thing as physical thinking, and painting is probably a very good example of that. That was one of the points that struck me when I was posing for Lucian Freud, which I—was a very long, drawn-out process. As you can imagine, it took about 18 months to produce two paintings. And Lucian was very slow, but it wasn't that he was painting all the time very slowly. Most of the time in a sitting, he'd spend thinking, looking. And then, after quite a while, and mixing up the paints and contemplating the situation—looking at me, looking at the painting—then he'd dart forward and put a stroke on, quite fast actually. But probably 95% of the time, he wasn't doing that. He was considering the situation.Why we still need painting in a world of screens42:43: It's arguable that, therefore, paintings, sculptures, unique works of art are what we need now. 'Cause they're the opposite of phones and screens and endless deluge of imagery and distraction, which the modern world offers us. A painting is—if it's good enough—it's something you can just look at for the rest of your life, and if it's really good enough, it'll carry on being rewarding.Painting as a language without words02:02: Painting or visual art isn't exactly a language. It's certainly not a verbal language, but it's a means of communication. And as such, it doesn't necessarily neatly translate into words.How artists reshape art history to suit themselves39:37: Although artists—practicing artists, rather—may have tremendous insights, and the insights of a kind which nobody else has access to, they're going to see art history and the art, the work of all other artists, from the point of view of their own art. And they'll be utterly out of sympathy, therefore, with quite large sections of the art of the past and of the present. To an extent, that's true with critics. They'll have certain idioms, certain styles, certain media they like more than others. But a critic can be a little bit less prejudiced. Oh, I'd like to think critics can be a bit more open-minded about what they're looking at. An artist will pretty well instinctively refashion the whole of art history so that it leads up to what they're doing today in their studio. But we don't all have to do that.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Lucian FreudPatrick HeronWillem de KooningClement GreenbergTracey EminJames TurrellDamien HirstPierre BonnardBridget RileyPeter Paul RubensRobert RauschenbergGary HumeGuest Profile:Professional WebsiteHis Work:How Painting Happens (and why it matters) Man with a Blue Scarf: On Sitting for a Portrait by Lucian FreudModernists and Mavericks: Bacon, Freud, Hockney and the London PaintersShaping the World: Sculpture from Prehistory to NowVenice: City of Pictures A History of Pictures: From the Cave to the Computer ScreenThe Pursuit of Art: Travels, Encounters and Revelations

In this first episode of the new series of A brush with…, Ben Luke talks to the painter Celia Paul about her influences—including writers as well as contemporary and historic artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Paul was born in 1959 in Trivandrum, India, and now lives in London. She makes intense yet ruminative paintings of people close to her, the spaces in which she lives and works, and landscapes of poignant significance. Her paintings are made from life but are pregnant with memory, poetry and emotion, which she imbues in her distinctive painterly language. Her art possesses a rare tranquillity in which one perceives deep feeling; Paul wrote in her memoir that her paintings are “so private and personal that there's almost a ‘Keep Out' sign in front of them”. At once a singular figure yet also connected to strands of recent and historic figurative painting in Britain, she has been admired widely throughout her career but only recently been recognised as a major figure in British art of the past 40 years. She discusses the fact that she began painting before she knew about art, but when she was introduced to Old and Modern Masters, she discovered El Greco and Paul Cezanne, who remain important to her today. She also reflects on the compassion in Rembrandt and Vincent van Gogh, the stillness and scale of Agnes Martin and the elementary power of the novels of the Brontë sisters. She also describes her response in painting to the artists of the School of London, including Lucian Freud, with whom she was once in a relationship, and Frank Auerbach.Celia Paul: Colony of Ghosts, Victoria Miro, London, until 17 April 2025.

Today we're joined by arguably the most iconic female chef in the country in the legendary Sally Clarke, who's been the owner and chef patron at Clarke's in Kensington for over 41 years. Sally ironically failed her O level in cookery and yet has gone on to become one of the most successful chef and restaurant owners in the country. Clarke's is a London institution and the restaurant is the favourite of everyone from Mick Jagger to Bono - David Hockney to Paul Smith and all in between. In only her 2nd ever audio interview, Sally reveals how she fell in love with food through the books of Elizabeth David and her travels across France as a child. However it was when she headed to study at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris in the early 70s when she knew that this was going to be her life. Having worked at 3 of the most famous restaurants in the City she came back to London to work alongside Pru Leith at her cookery school, but within a year found herself moving to live in California to work at some of the greatest new age restaurants. It was here she met and fell in love with Alice Waters and Chez Panisse, and was inspired 5 years later in 1983 to return to London and set up Clarke's following in the same farm to table ethos and daily changing set menu as her culinary hero and friend. However, setting up a restaurant as a female head chef and owner wasn't easy in the early 1980s and we hear about; the disastrous problems she encountered, and rude sexist male customers and suppliers she had to deal with. We also hear about her friendship with Lucian Freud who used to eat breakfast and lunch at the restaurant everyday and how she had the privilege of being the last person ever to sit for him. Also, alongside the restaurant Sally runs an incredibly successful commercial bakery that sells over 90,000 handmade Mince Pies each year and beat all her Parisian competition to provide the pastries for the Eurostar. Sally very kindly also shares her secrets to success including; how to create the ultimate menu, the 'Art Of The Table, how to treat your customers and why she never ever gives her customers the bill. ------------------Please leave us a great rating and a comment and share it with your friends - it really helps us grow as a show.If you're in the industry and are looking for the greatest POS system in the world than look no further as Blinq are tearing up the rulebook—no long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and no per-device charges.

Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. Today, Emily chats with painter Kirstine Rainer Hansen, as they discusses her transition from design and illustration to becoming a self-taught artist specializing in 'Disrupted Realism.' Born in Denmark, Kirstine has lived across various countries, ultimately settling in Carmel, California.

Kirstine's work, influenced by artists like Rembrandt, Francis Bacon, and Lucian Freud, is currently on display at the Jack Fisher Gallery at the Minnesota Street Project in San Francisco. She talks about how moving to San Francisco shaped her artistic style, transitioning from classical realism to a more fragmented, collage-based approach. Kirstine also dives into "Three Questions" talking about her artistic identity, influential works, and inspiring locations in the Bay Area.About Artist Kirstine Reiner Hansen:Kirstine Reiner Hansen is an artist based on the Central Coast of California, US.

For the 34th episode of "Reading the Art World," host Megan Fox Kelly speaks with Sebastian Smee, Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic for The Washington Post and author of "Paris in Ruins: Love, War, and the Birth of Impressionism,” published by W. W. Norton.This fascinating conversation explores the violent political upheavals of 1870-71 Paris — the Siege of Paris and the Paris Commune — and how they influenced the Impressionist movement. Smee shares insights into the lives of the artists who survived these dramatic days, including Edgar Degas, Édouard Manet and Berthe Morisot, who were trapped in Paris; Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Frédéric Bazille, who joined regiments outside of the capital; and Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro, who fled the country just in time.Through rigorous research into personal letters and historical documents, Smee illuminates the human context behind familiar masterpieces of light created during this dark period. He offers a fresh perspective on why the Impressionists, with their newfound sense of the fragility of life, turned toward transient subjects of modern life, leisure, fleeting moments and the impermanence of all things in the aftermath of such devastating events.ABOUT THE AUTHOR Sebastian Smee is an art critic for The Washington Post and winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. His previous works include "The Art of Rivalry" and books on Mark Bradford and Lucian Freud.

My guest today is the fashion designer Bella Freud. Bella launched her eponymous label in 1990. Over thirty years later it remains resolutely independent, one of the very few that hasn't been subsumed by a fashion conglomerate.  Bella's clothes are for wearing and have become a byword for women who want to be glamorous but not girly with a bit of added wit. Her iconic word jumpers are one of the most covetable individual fashion items bar none. (As her instant-sell out collaboration with M&S proved.) Bella has always played with her heritage (her father, the artist Lucian Freud designed her famous dog logo and great-grandfather was Sigmund Freud, widely credited as the inventor of psycho analysis) and now she's launched a podcast - Fashion Neurosis with Bella Freud - where she literally puts celebrities on the couch to analyse their relationship with style. Eric Cantona, Zadie Smith and even Kate Moss have succumbed and, I have to say, it's an eye-opener. I met Bella at home in North West London to talk about growing up outside convention and how she finally shook off her childhood coping mechanisms. We discussed the “wonderful feeling of progress” that's come with ageing, what we can gain from unravelling life's knots and the impact of losing both of her parents in one week. Bella also told me how her body image shaped her designs and how she's learnt to appreciate her body as she's aged. Fashion is a magic carpet, she says, and she's the living proof. * You can buy all the books mentioned in this podcast at The Shift bookshop on Bookshop.org, including the book that inspired this podcast, The Shift: how I lost and found myself after 40 - and you can too, by me. * If you enjoyed this episode and you fancy buying me a coffee, pop over to my page on buymeacoffee.com. • And if you'd like to support the work that goes into making this podcast and get a weekly newsletter plus loads more content including exclusive transcripts of the podcast, why not join The Shift community, come and have a look around at www.theshiftwithsambaker.substack.com • The Shift (on life after 40) with Sam Baker is created and hosted by Sam Baker and edited by Juliette Nicholls @ Pineapple Audio Production.

Jorge Molder, Lisboa, 1947. Licenciado em Filosofia pela Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa. A partir do final dos anos 70 dedica-se à fotografia, alicerçando todo o seu trabalho na pesquisa sobre a auto-representação, frequentemente evocando personagens do mundo literário e artístico como Joseph Conrad, Samuel Beckett, Lucian Freud e Francis Bacon, através da construção de narrativas seriadas ficcionadas. As diferentes séries articulam-se numa sequência performativa na qual o artista constrói um universo a partir das suas referências filosóficas, cinematográficas e literárias. Neste jogo de ambivalências encontramos também a própria fotografia e a sua história, no confronto entre o registo documental da realidade e a sua dimensão espectral. Entre 1990 e 2009 foi o diretor do Centro de Arte Moderna da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. O artista representou Portugal nas Bienais de São Paulo (1994) e de Veneza (1999). Em 2007, recebeu o prémio da AICA/Associação Internacional de Críticos de Arte, em 2010 o Grande Prémio EDP/Arte, e em 2014 o Prémio da Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores.A sua obra tem sido exibida em exposições nacionais e internacionais em instituições de renome, entre outros, MAAT, Lisboa, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisboa; Serralves, Porto, Hamburger Kunsthalle, Hamburgo, Palazzo Fortuny Veneza, Palais des Beaux-arts de Bruxelas, e Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, Lisboa; e está representada em diversas coleções públicas e privadas, nacionais e internacionais.

Das Kunstverbrechen-Team nimmt die Suche nach einem gestohlenen Gemälde von Lucian Freud nach über 35 Jahren wieder auf. Eine heiße Spur könnte zum Täter in diesem Cold Case führen, aber es gibt noch viele Fragezeichen und Puzzlestücke. Erstmals öffnen wir in diesem Fall die Akten der Polizei und sprechen mit Verdächtigen - eine investigative Suche nach einem weltweit bedeutenden Kunstwerk. In der neuen und dritten Staffel von Kunstverbrechen verfolgen eure Hosts Lenore Lötsch und Torben Steenbuck die Spuren des ältesten und bisher ungelösten Cold Case von Kriminalkommissar René Allonge, dem Diebstahl eines 1988 gestohlenen Gemäldes von Lucian Freud, das seinen Freund, den Maler Francis Bacon zeigt. Es ist ein fast perfektes Verbrechen, da bei dem Diebstahl aus der Neuen Nationalgalerie in Berlin keine Spuren hinterlassen wurden. Obwohl das Bild am helllichten Tag gestohlen wurde, hat niemand den Dieb bei seiner Tat beobachtet. Erst Jahre später taucht eine Spur auf, die zum Dieb des Bildes führen könnte. Wir nehmen euch mit auf eine spannende Recherchereise zwischen Berlin, London, Hamburg und anderen Orten, die jetzt noch nicht genannt werden können. Zum ersten Mal behandeln wir bei Kunstverbrechen in einer Staffel nur einen Fall, diesen aber in 7 Episoden und seiner ganzen komplexen Tiefe. Es wird ein True-Crime Doku-Podcast, der noch dichter und spannender erzählt wird als die vorherigen Folgen. Der Fall zeigt, was hinter den Kulissen eines internationalen Kunstdiebstahls passiert und wie er Beteiligte auch nach Jahrzehnten noch verletzen kann. Ob es uns am Ende gelingt, das gestohlene Porträt zu finden? Los geht's am Dienstag, den 13. August 2024, mit den ersten beiden Folgen "Ein Diebstahl in Berlin" und "Die Spur".

En tidig morgonpodd när Susanna står i startgroparna för att leda Kulturdagarna i Borrby. Det blir Johan Tralau, Anita Goldman, Björn Ranelid, Magnus Ranstorp och Owe Gustafson på litteraurdagen och Jan Troell, Thomas Nordanstad och Owe Gustafson — igen — på filmdagen. Expressen har en semestervikarie — tror vi — Wilhelm Nyström, som skrivit klarspråk om överutbildningen av svenskarna. Microsoftkollapsen visar, igen, hur sköra vi gör våra samhällen när vi litar på algoritmer och AI. Visst kan vi preppa, men det är ett samhällsproblem. Och ingen gör något åt det, vi blir bara mer och mer beroende av datorer. Vi tror inte heller på AI-översättningar, särskilt inte när det ör författare med ett starkt eget språk, som Martin Amis, eller Edward St Aubyn. Det blir inte ens enklare att rätta till svenskan efter att AI grovöversatt. Trump firar triumfer och Republikanerna är inte "övertaget" av Trump numera, det är helt enkelt ett populistiskt, arbetarklassinriktat och nationalistiskt parti, som Peggy Noonan påpekar. Vi har sett Civil War med Kirsten Dunst och Jesse Plemons och är skakade över hur trovärdig berättelsen är. Valet av J D Vance, författare till Hillbilly Elegy, som vicepresidentkandidat är intressant. Åsa Linderborg förstår Vance, men är han bara ute efter makt? Och apropå makt, vad krävs för att kultureliten ska erkänna att de har makt (och därmed ansvar) och hur många bryr sig? Vi recenserar debatten i frågan. Och vi förundras över att inget — absolut inget — händer i det offentliga Sverige, samtidigt som Systemet är sprängfullt redan två minuter över tio. Till sist kan till och med Human Rights Watch komma fram till att Hamas ledde terrorattacken mot Israel och att den medvetet riktades in på civila. Vi tvivlar på tvåstatslösning, men tycker att Bo Rothstein skrivit intressant i ämnet. Och så Lucian Freud, som erkände 14 barn, men bara två inom äktenskapet och 12 med olika älskarinnor. Kanske inte i alla delar ett föredöme, men en fantastisk konstnär. Och en typisk representant för den korta period under efterkrigstiden då bohemeri, kaos och anarkism ansågs helt OK, även om det t ex drabbade minderåriga, antagligen därför att samhället i övrigt var så stabilt. Nu är det inte så stabilt längre och förtjusningen över utmanande beteenden mindre. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/hakeliuspopova. Hosted on Acast.

We meet author/art critic Jennifer Higgie and Sotheby's Chloe Stead to discuss an inspiring new exhibition which has just opened ‘London: An Artistic Crossroads' runs until 5th July at Sotheby's New Bond Street.Sotheby's, in partnership with Art UK and twelve museums across the country, are staging a month-long exhibition, open to the public and free of charge, shining a spotlight on the UK as a centre of creative cross-pollination.The exhibition, ‘London: An Artistic Crossroads', brings together an assemblage of remarkable works by artists who passed through or settled in the UK during their lifetime. The earliest of the works is a vivacious portrait by Flemish artist Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, who became one of the most sought-after portraitists in England during the 16th century. It is joined by a vibrant landscape by André Derain, for whom London was a place of explosive transformation, as well as an iconicComposition by Piet Mondrian who, out of fear of German invasion and encouraged by Ben Nicholson, left Paris for Hampstead in 1938. Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon and Dame Lucie Rie are included in the line up, all émigrés, Freud from metropolitan Germany, Bacon from rural Ireland and Rie from Vienna, in addition to Frank Bowling, R.B. Kitaj and Dame Magdalene Odundo, among others.The exhibition coincides with NG200 - the Bicentenary celebrations of London's National Gallery - which it is intended to complement. As the National Gallery launches its National Treasures programme, where 12 of the nation's most iconic and well-loved paintings from the collection are lent to 12 venues across the UK, this exhibition does the reverse: bringing 12 works from major regional collections together in the capital city.The National Gallery has long provided a source of inspiration for creatives, who look to its rich collection to further enhance their own practices. Many of the artists presented in Sotheby's exhibition publicly acknowledged the museum's influence over their own styles and practice, including Bacon, Freud (the subject of a landmark National Gallery exhibition – ‘New Perspectives' – in 2022/23), Kitaj (who selected paintings for ‘The Artist's Eye' exhibition at the National Gallery in 1980), Bowling and Auerbach, who was even invited to show his interpretations of some of the National Gallery's paintings in 1995.Jennifer Higgie is an Australian writer.

While this sale turned Freud into a household name, the woman featured in Freud's painting has been unjustly overlooked as an integral part of what makes the work so remarkable. In this ArtMuse episode, we give Sue her rightful dues in our appreciation of Freud's famed work. But Sue has lived a robust and adventure-filled life outside of her role as Lucian Freud's model. Though a benefits supervisor by day, Sue was a club girl by night, and could be found in London's most notorious nightclubs of the 1980's, alongside icons like Boy George, and was at the heart of London's New Romantic movement.

A rare interview with Frank Auerbach, one of the world's greatest living painters. At 92 years old, he has been painting for over 70 years and still works every day. A child refugee from Nazi Germany whose parents were killed in Auschwitz, he made his name alongside his friends and fellow painters Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and Leon Kossoff in the 1950s. He's well known for the thick layers of the paint used to create his portraits and images of the streets around the studio in Camden Town where he has worked since 1954.Frank Auerbach talks to John Wilson about his fragmentary memories of his early childhood in pre-war Berlin and his education at the boarding school Bunce Court in Kent, where he arrived aged 7. He recalls the huge impression that a black and white reproduction in a children's encyclopaedia of Turner's The Fighting Temeraire made on him as a boy, making him want to "do better and be less superficial". Auerbach also discusses the influence on him of the artist David Bomberg who taught him at London's Borough Polytechnic, and his friend and fellow student Leon Kossoff. He also talks about his friendships with Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud and why he still paints and draws in his studio seven days a week.Producer: Edwina Pitman

¿Cómo influye la evolución del discurso sobre la sexualidad en la práctica y la formación psicoanalíticas? En una era en la que la disforia sexual parece estar en aumento, particularmente entre las generaciones más jóvenes, surgen preguntas sobre el posicionamiento actual de la teoría pulsional de Freud y el estatus de las cuestiones sexuales en la formación psicoanalítica. ¿Estamos asistiendo a un cambio en el que la sexualidad pierde su lugar central dentro del pensamiento psicoanalítico? La atención se centra en la posible disminución de los temas sexuales en los informes de casos psicoanalíticos, como se ha observado en los últimos años, y sus implicaciones para la metodología psicoanalítica. El discurso se originó en la conferencia de supervisores y analistas en formación de 2021 de la Asociación Psicoanalítica Alemana (DPV) en Colonia, Alemania, que rápidamente se extendió a otros lugares, reflejando preocupaciones globales sobre el menor énfasis en la sexualidad en los informes de los candidatos para poder cualificarse. El artículo que hoy presentamos revisa algunas piedras angulares de las teorías seminales de Freud, pero también examina las teorías y técnicas psicoanalíticas más modernas que enfatizan las dinámicas de transferencia-contratransferencia para la comprensión de las fantasías e identidades sexuales. Se analiza críticamente el papel de los cambios sociales, los cambios en la identidad sexual y el impacto de los medios de comunicación en el comportamiento y la expresión sexual. El trabajo presentado en este episodio se presentó anteriormente en varios eventos, incluido un seminario web de la SPP y en el 53º Congreso de la IPA en Cartagena. Ha sido traducido y publicado en varias revistas psicoanalíticas.

Live at The New York Studio school with Ukrainian born artist, Alla Broeksmit, and sister and poet, Stella Hayes. “The New York Studio School was founded in 1964 by Mercedes Matter, in collaboration with a group of students and faculty, during a time of cultural ferment. To this day, it is bound by a sense of mission, one that has often stood in counterpoint to the prevailing tastes of the art world. During the heyday of Pop, conceptual art, and minimalism, the School emphasized drawing, working from life, and a sustained studio practice. To delve into the history, however, is to become aware of the contradictions inherent in a school run by some of the most passionate minds of the New York art world.“ Jennifer Sachs Samet Closely held memories of childhood in Kyiv and deeply rooted remembrances of family and beloved places fuel the dreamlike imagery of Alla Broeksmit's art. Gestural brushwork and the tactility of hand-mixed pigments in the muted palette of faded frescoes lend texture and atmosphere to her expressively rendered paintings, evoking a sense of time past, recalled to the present. Broeksmit has pursued painting since the 1990s, studying at Parsons School of Design in New York City, then co-founding the Lots Road Group with fellow artists from the Heatherly School of Fine Art after moving to London in 1997. During this period, her paintings were primarily figurative and focused on portraiture, taking inspiration from the heavily impastoed, psychological portraits of Lucian Freud. In 2017, Broeksmit received her MFA from the New York Studio School, where Dean Graham Nickson encouraged her to work on a larger scale and to take “a more instinctual, visceral approach” to painting. Instructors Judy Glantzman, Kyle Staver, and Elisa Jensen were also instrumental in her development of an individualized visual language and in exposing her to the descriptive and emotional expression of color, as seen in her work. Stella Hayes is the author of a poetry collection, One Strange Country (What Books Press, November 2020). Hayes earned a creative writing degree at University of Southern California. Her work has been nominated for the Best of the Net and for the Pushcart Prize, as well as appeared in Prelude, The Poetry Project's The Recluse, The Lake and Spillway, among others, and is forthcoming from Stanford's Mantis and Poet Lore. She began her life in a book-filled home in an agricultural town an hour outside of Kiev, then part of the Soviet Union. In 1977, her family of five — her father excluded — left for the U.S., settling first in Chicago. At USC, she studied creative writing with a focus on poetry with celebrated poet David St. John, chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. More recently, she has taken advanced classes in poetry and fiction at 92Y and was asked to do a reading there in the spring of 2018.

The place of sexuality in psychoanalytic treatment and training today: Can we observe a disappearance of sexuality in case reports and supervisions?      How does the evolving discourse on sexuality influence psychoanalytic practice and training? In an era where sexual dysphoria is seemingly on the rise, particularly among younger generations, questions arise about the current positioning of Freud's drive theory and the status of sexual issues in psychoanalytic education. Are we witnessing a shift where sexuality loses its central place within psychoanalytic thought? In this episode of the IPA Talks On Psychoanalysis podcast series, we explore these questions through a comprehensive discussion. The focus is on the potential diminution of sexual themes in psychoanalytic case reports, as observed in recent years, and its implications for psychoanalytic methodology. The discourse originated in the 2021 supervisors' and training analysts' conference of the German Psychoanalytical Association (DPV) in Cologne, Germany and quickly spread to other places, reflecting global concerns about the reduced emphasis on sexuality in candidates' reports for qualification. This exploration revisits some cornerstones of Freud's seminal theories but also examines the more modern theories and psychoanalytic techniques that emphasize transference-countertransference dynamics for the understanding of sexual fantasies and identities. The role of societal changes, shifts in sexual identity, and the impact of media on sexual behaviour and expression are critically analyzed. The paper featured in this episode has been previously presented at various events, including a SPP Webinar and the 53rd IPA Congress in Cartagena. It has been translated and published in several psychoanalytic Journals. The IPA Talks On Psychoanalysis podcast series now offers it to its listeners in German, English, Spanish and Italian. You can access the recent edition of the APA's Journal of Psychoanalysis, featuring a publication with two accompanying commentaries by Alicia Killner and Beatriz Zelcer, at this link: https://revista-de-psicoanalisis.apa.org.ar   Rotraut De Clerck is a renowned psychoanalyst of the German Psychoanalytical Association (DPV) and has been a long-term guest to the British Psychoanalytic Society (BPS). Her work notably intersects psychoanalysis with culture and public discourse. She has carried out the “Psychoanalysis in Literature – Literature in Psychoanalysis” series at the Literaturhaus Frankfurt, fostering dialogue between contemporary writers and Freud's texts. De Clerck's clinical interests include theories on the dynamic interplay of narcissism and object love, of the unconscious and changes in sexuality, including homosexuality “neo-sexualities” and the  concepts of masochism. De Clerck's contributions extend to psychoanalytic portraits of literary figures like Albert Camus, Virginia Woolf, painters like Maria Lassnig and notably Lucian Freud.

Many of these designs serve as architectural depictions of their respective clients, revealing each one's inner nature and underlying ethos.On this episode, Selldorf discusses the links she sees between Slow Food and her architecture, the intuitive aspects of form-making, and why she considers architecture “the mother of all arts.”Special thanks to our Season 8 sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [00:31] Selldorf Architects[08:19] The Frick Collection[10:42] Lucian Freud[17:45] Dia Beacon[18:43] Art Gallery of Ontario expansion[18:54] Two Row[18:57] Diamond Schmitt[26:08] Sunset Park Material Recovery Facility[30:03] CSO Red Hook[30:05] CSO Owls Head[34:31] National Gallery, London[35:17] One Domino Park[37:15] John Russell Pope[37:28] Thomas Hastings[43:13] I.M.

We meet living legend Sue Tilley and artist Rui Miguel Leitão Ferreira!!!Sue Tilley (b. 1957), also known as Big Sue, is an artist, artist's model and writer. Most notably, she modelled for painter Lucian Freud. Tilley collaborated, and was best friends, with performance artist and club promoter Leigh Bowery. In 1997, she published Leigh Bowery: The life and times of an Icon, a biography. Freud painted several large nude portraits of Tilley, the first being Evening in the Studio (1993). Benefits Supervisor Sleeping, painted in 1995, was sold at auction for £35 million ($56 million USD). We discuss a brand new exhibition at The Sunday Painter in South London - the first painting show of Portuguese artist Rui Miguel Leitão Ferreira (b.1977) in the UK. Curated by Daniel Malarkey, the exhibition sees Ferreira further develop his self-portrait series Posing for Sue. The works on show explore Ferreira's relationship with close friend and mentor Sue Tilley – widely known for her long-standing professional relationship with Lucian Freud – whilst subtly manipulating and subverting the complex dialogue between the three subjects traditionally involved in portraiture: the portrayed, the artist and the observer. The artist first met Tilley at a charity event in 2013. An in-depth exploration into the experiences of life models within the realm of fine art had recently prompted Ferreira to begin modelling himself, a disquieting endeavour that left the artist feeling increasingly vulnerable and directionless when it came to his own practice. Ferreira found solace in Tilley's gaze, eventually leading the two to forge a close friendship. Inspired by the powerful artist-model dynamic between Freud and Tilley – whose iconic four-year professional relationship saw Freud produce perhaps some of his most acclaimed and psychologically charged nude portraits – Ferreira sought to capture the intimacy of time spent between artist and sitter through the specificity of paint.Rather than simply mirroring the pair's relationship, however, the Posing for Sue series attempts to subvert art history's long established traditions of portraiture – one of the oldest enduring art forms – by reconsidering the roles of all those involved. Ferreira begins his artistic process by filming a video piece in which he undresses in front of Tilley, with each recording capturing the collaborators reacting and responding to each other's physical presence. Ferreira then paints from carefully chosen film stills, allowing him to analyse the process in motion rather than focusing on one particular viewpoint. By undressing in front of Tilley and remaining completely exposed throughout each filmed session, the source of the gaze, usually strictly maintained by the artist, is intentionally displaced to the model.Posing for Sue explores the notion of shared experience between artist and sitter, tapping into the deep-rooted human desire to capture the complexities of expression via mimetic representation. Through the act of being observed in his most vulnerable state – both by the model and by the viewer – Ferreira utilises his body as an instrument to explore the heights and depths of the human psyche.Follow @SueTilley1 and @RuiMiguelLeitaoFerreiraVisit @TheSundayPainter for info on the new exhibition and their website: https://thesundaypainter.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

Scores of painters and photographers over the last seventy years have grappled with the formal portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II from life. These range from the celluloid fantasies of Cecil Beaton to the directness of Lucian Freud; the Renaissance-inspired divinity of Pietro Annigoni to the naturalism of Annie Leibovitz.Underlying all her official portrayals is an artistic conflict: the requirements of royal iconography and the demands of the usually conservative institutional commissioner, versus modern expectations for artistic self-expression and psychological authenticity. A lecture by Philip Mould OBE recorded on 2 March 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/elizabeth-portraitsGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

No hay en España una prensa que dé cuenta factual de las muertes, el dolor y la ruina que pueden provocar las drogas. Aun con sesgo, está convencido del gran prestigio con el que se las trata en el arte y en los papeles. La pútrida literatura intersticial sobre ellas debe acabarse. También está harto de los intentos de hundir en la miseria la Transición política española, con relatos que la califican de violenta u oscura. ¡Cómo se puede tener esa desvergüenza! Hubo gente que moría, porque en tiempos normales la gente muere, y en aquella época lo hacían principalmente por el terrorismo de izquierdas. Y a propósito de terrorismo, la decana de la facultad de Políticas de la Complutense censuró en su feudo un acto que quería conmemorar a sus víctimas.

"What is it like to be a young artist growing up - what are your reference points and how do you take ownership and claim that history?” Taking inspiration from 1950s porn magazines, Lucian Freud and her grandfather, the young British artist Somaya Critchlow creates intimate paintings that reclaim ownership of the Black female nude.Danielle visits The Lightbox, the regional contemporary art gallery in Surrey,  where recently-appointed director Sarah Brown  made the unconventional decision to showcase an exhibition of works by Lucian Freud alongside an adjacent exhibition, curated by the young British female artist, Somaya Critchlow. Running until the 19th March 2023, the Freud side of the exhibition features a range of portraits, nudes and photos, spanning the artist's career; while the Soul as Sphere, which sits in the same room, is filled with works by Somaya's grandfather, the artists and expert in sacred geometry Keith Critchlow, as well as pieces by his contemporaries such as Frank Auerback and Leon , and some by Somaya herself. The effect is highly complimentary and serves to afford the viewer the chance to look at Freud through a fresh - namely female and contemporary - lens. Speaking separately to both Sarah and Somaya, Danielle gets to hear about their motivations and inspirations behind the project. Image courtesy of the artist and Blau International.

Ruth Millington's wonderful book uncovers the hidden figures behind art history's masterpieces. We tend to forget that each great artist, whether from the past or present, has their own unique muse who inspires them, gives them energy and influences their creativity. For Picasso it was Dora Maar; for Rodin it was Camille Claudel; for Frida Kahlo it was her illness. Those muses had a significant impact on the artists we love, but they often get hidden behind the shadows of giants whom they inspired. In this interview, Ruth and I talked about Muses who inspired artists such as Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Lucian Freud, Tim Walker, and many others. Ruth spent years researching the relationship between artists and their Muses. I asked her to give us some tips about how you and I can mimic great artists so we can connect with our own Muses too.

We meet emerging artist Nash Glynn, from her studio in New York's Seaport! Nash Glynn (b.1992) is a transdisciplinary American artist currently working in NYC. Working across painting, photography, and video, Glynn is best known for her groundbreaking nude self-portraits of her experience and life as a transgender woman, an underrepresented figure in the Western art canon until recently. Glynn was born and raised in Miami, Florida and learned to paint while working at her father's set design shop. Speaking about their work, the artist says, ‘I use paint as I use my body, and as such the possibilities for spontaneity of form and change become inexhaustible. By crafting affective figures I seek to create empathy. The work serves as an affirmation, a reminder that representation has no outside, meaning we choose the reference, add and remove as we please, manipulate each stroke with unique gesture and tone. A process of painting, also known as self-determination.'Nash Glynn (b.1992) received her BFA in 2014 from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and in 2017 her MFA from Columbia University. She has had solo shows at Participant Inc. in 2019, OCD Chinatown in 2020, and an upcoming exhibition at Vielmetter Los Angeles in Fall 2021. Her work has been in publications such as Artforum, Candy Transversal Magazine, and New American Paintings. Glynn was the recipient of the Leslie-Lohman Museum Artist Fellowship in 2017."Interiors, with its plural title, belies the singularity of Glynn's point of view. Lately, she sticks to painting what she sees from the swivel stool she's positioned between window and easel, things like: apples in a bowl, closed door, knife. Herself in a mirror, or her mind's eye. Mostly windows. Yet this self-imposed agreement comes with a proviso to also see with her eyes closed, so as to produce landscapes that look mental. Glynn's intuitive aversion to the rules of the physical world finds its clearest expression in her palette, which has the firmness of a signature. Alice Neel's cobalt, Paul Gauguin's vermillion, Lucian Freud's mauve are all her colours now. Mixing: as little as possible. Earth tones: no. When she concedes the need for green in a landscape, the shade she uses is not actually grass but jade, à la Ferdinand Hodler; the resulting swath of field looks undulant and cold enough to pass for ocean. Then of course there is white. Rauschenberg's white, or Ryman's. The white of a well-rested eye, of the sand under the sun, of nothing said. Glynn has, over the past several years, developed a style of both still life and portraiture in which objects and/or subjects are exquisitely rendered and then set out on a ground that is white except for traces of shadow, so that the knife or flower or girl appears surfaced from memory."

Botticelli's Madonna of the Magnificat, Georges Seurat's pointillist masterwork Les Poseuses, Ensemble (Petite version) and Lucian Freud's Large Interior, W11 (after Watteau) demonstrate the enduring power of the human figure in art, while the polyvalent practice of artists such as Max Ernst and Jasper Johns show how artists can subvert tradition to move art forward.

Serge Strosberg is an acclaimed international artist who is known for his realist and expressionist portraits. After growing up in the US and Europe, he "received classical training at the prestigious Academie Julian in Paris and Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts. In 2008, he exhibited his work at the Felix Nussbaum Museum (Germany) and the Musee de Pontoise (Paris) in Germany with Lucian Freud, Philip Pearlstein, Chaim Soutine, Alex Katz in major group exhibitions of realist painting." He works with oil and egg tempura to create large-scale commissioned pieces for institutions or families. His goal in each painted portrait is to include the personality of the person; not just a photo likeness. Beyond this, his portfolio is full of concepts that critique the elite extremes of American culture (fashion, the 1%..) through figurative pieces that consider both composition and location as a means of questioning high society and cultural norms. He offers a candid description of what it is like to work on his own terms with the support of cultural organizations, the struggle of working within the established gallery system, and the gift of being able to spend his life making art.

She has made cameos on film and television and inspired artists including Lucian Freud, Tracey Emin and Marc Quinn. Kate was born in Croydon in 1974. When she was 14, she was spotted at JFK airport by Sarah Doukas who signed her to her modelling agency. Two years later Kate was on the cover of the style magazine the Face – one of a series of photographs shot on Camber Sands by Corinne Day. The images were raw and natural and Kate's slight, delicate build, in stark contrast to the curvaceous supermodel silhouette that had defined the decade, heralded a new era in modelling. Kate moved on to high profile campaigns for the designers Calvin Klein and Marc Jacobs. In 1993 she appeared on the cover of British Vogue for the first time. Later her waif-like figure attracted criticism from some commentators who thought some of her photographs glamorised thinness. In 2013 Kate received a Special Recognition award at the British Fashion Awards, acknowledging her 25-year contribution to fashion.

It's now being put centre stage of the local elections next month by a new campaign called "Respect my Sex if you want my X”. The campaign run by Women Uniting UK is urging voters – both men and women - to quiz prospective candidates canvassing on the doorstep with questions like “What is a woman?” or “What is more important, sex or gender?” The Labour MP Rosie Duffield talks about her support for the group and why she believes the issue could have an impact next month as well as on the wider political landscape.

She is suing back, with a $100m counterclaim against him. His legal team successfully argued that the trial should be held in Virginia - home to two Washington Post offices and where the paper is physically published.
