The weekly arts magazine presented by James Mossman

A Pagan Place
Edna O'Brien's new novel is published next week. In her first novel The Country Girls she described the experience of an imaginative girl growing up in the west of Ireland.
In the latest one she returns to these themes - the fears and guilt associated with the Roman Catholic Church, the frustration felt by the inhabitants of a small, isolated community, and the continually changing landscape.
In tonight's film Edna O'Brien reflects on these childhood experiences.

Original Prints
The arts of etching and lithography, in which Rembrandt and Lautrec achieved some of their greatest master-pieces, are still very much alive; and with the arrival of new techniques the range of original prints is wider than it has ever been. Review looks at four artists producing work in what some call the 'democratic medium.'
