Art Atlas

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A series about the visual arts, exploring stories and themes by focusing on the locations. Walt and Adolf. Walt Disney and Adolf Hitler (who was a professional artist before turning to other interests) both shared a strong taste for old-world European townscapes and myths. In Rothenburg, Germany, the town Disney used as the setting for Pinocchio, Robert McNab discovers that if Hitler's artistic career had succeeded, he could have ended up working for Disney as an illustrator, like many of his European contemporaries. Producer David Perry
