Wade Davis on George Mallory, Benbrick on AI and creativity
The Pre-Raphaelite Rossettis at Tate Britain discussed; Wade Davis on The Great War and the Conquest of Everest; award-winning composer and producer Benbrick on A1 and creativity.
A new exhibition of the Pre-Raphaelite Rossettis at Tate Britain in London explores the 'radicalism' of Dante Gabriel, Christina and Elizabeth (Siddal), and their 'revolutionary' approach to life, love and art in Victorian Britain. It emphasises Elizabeth as artist rather than muse, and charts the emergence of the Pre-Raphaelites through to Gabriel鈥檚 famous romanticised female portraits. However, despite their popularity, views of the Rosettis' art are often polarised. To discuss whether the Rossettis are radical or overrated, Samira is joined by the curator of the exhibition, Carol Jacobi, and by critic Jonathan Jones.
Artificial intelligence can now write sonnets, paint portraits and compose symphonies. Benbrick, the Peabody Award-winning producer of the 成人快手 Sounds鈥� series Have You Heard George鈥檚 Podcast?, reflects on the impact of AI on creativity and his own creative practice.
In the latest of Front Row鈥檚 interviews with the shortlisted authors for this year鈥檚 Baillie Gifford, Winner of Winners Award, Samira talks to Wade Davis about his book - Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest.
