Laura Cumming: Seeing the Light; Remembering a Life
Thunderclap: A memoir of art and life and sudden death is something of a companion piece to Laura Cumming's previous book, On Chapel Sands and equally luminous. It weaves together art critic Cummings’ love for Dutch art of the Golden Age, and her relationship with her Scottish father – an artist who lectured in the very room that Cumming will speak in. Infused with love, it’s an intimate yet epic look at identity, memory, and mortality. In conversation with Stuart Kelly.
