CONTRIBUTORS
ROD GILCHRIST
Which artist would you most like to have dinner with and why? Van Gogh. I’d ask him what the heck he was smoking when he painted his brilliant, cosmic, turbulent landscapes. Where would you send a tourist if they wanted a culture hit in the Capital? Chiswick House, Lord Burlington’s 18th-century home. It’s the definitive Palladian house, with beautiful Arcadian gardens lined with classical statues. Exhibition you’re most looking forward to this summer? Picasso 1932 – Love, Fame, Tragedy at Tate Modern. Painting you’d most like over your fireplace? Mr and Mrs Andrews by Gainsborough. It’s evocative of haughty Georgian aristocrats, and a homage to the soft beauty of the English countryside.
CAITI GROVE
Which artist would you most like to have dinner with and why? Salvador Dalí. He’d be a great storyteller and I’d love to hear his take on the world as it is now. Where would you send a tourist if they wanted a culture hit in the Capital? Sir John Soane’s Museum – it’s totally magical, like a Narnia for art and antiquities. Exhibition you’re most looking forward to this summer? Lee Miller and Surrealism in Britain at The Hepworth Wakefield. She was a fashion and surrealist photographer – she took Picasso’s portrait and was a lover of Man Ray. Dalí, Ernst and Magritte will feature too – very exciting. Painting you’d most like over your fireplace? Picasso’s Bullfight: Death of the Toreador. At the moment I have a framed poster of it – the real deal would be fab.
