Art and the Human Condition

on BBC Radio 3

Painting and sculpture have traditionally depicted the human figure and dealt with the biggest issues of human existence - birth, love, joy, pain, suffering and death. But can art today aspire to similar heights and depths, or has it lost out to film and television? Martin Kemp talks to artists about the way they treat the question of what it is to be alive today. 1: The Experience of Living
Marlene Dumas uses a traditional medium - painting - and traditional subjects - large iconic faces and bodies - to communicate essentially human values and emotions. Producer Judith Bumpus
