PODCAST Life as an artist: at home in Somerset with Sir Christopher Le Brun

Подробнее о видео

Sir Christopher Le Brun is one of the leading British painters of his generation, with an eternal love of the blank page – ”anything’s possible, it’s the best time, full of hope.” He intends to be as productive as possible across the next 10 years, so sitting down with him for our latest Homing In podcast in his rural Somerset home felt like ideal timing.
