Thank you for this interesting podcast on Monet Malcolm. It’s so timely for me. I sent you a link on your email address of a short film of him being interviewed, no sound but amazing to see him in life! If you’ve not seen it I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Received it from my art supplier today! I didn’t know how to share it on this comment section 😂 just bought another book about him and now I’m eager to get to London to see some of his paintings at the National gallery - again😉 not been there for far too long!
