Podcast 8: Art and Conflict

At the start of the podcast, Katie reminds us about the 2 war related paintings she has already discussed, the Jankel Adler and Barry's 'War Time Nocturne'.
And then in this podcast, she goes on to discuss the scene depicted by Augustus John in his drawing entitled 'Canadian Soldiers':
and then Lesley Cole's depiction of 'Mary, Young girl with Doll'. Cole was Swindon's only war artist, and we're very pleased to celebrate his work, particularly this haunting image painted in 1946:
finally Katie talks about 'Road Kill' produced by Prudence Malty in 2013. This picture formed part of the Cicatrix exhibition in the Gallery.

Katie also let us know that her next podcast will be a longer one, released to coincide with when she would have been giving a talk at the Swindon Spring Festival which would have been taking place from Monday. Due to Covid-19, it is now a virtual spring festival.
