The Fine Print Episode 4: The Impressionists as Printmakers

This is a 4 part podcast series by National Museums NI, hosted by Curator of Art, Anna Liesching, which looks at exhibitions held in the Ulster Museum through the prism of the art of printmaking.

In this episode, Anna chats to Dr Rachel Sloan, Assistant Curator of Works on Paper at The Courtauld, London, about the Ulster Museum’s latest exhibition, ‘Renoir and the New Era’, curated by Anna and which explores the Impressionists by taking Renoir’s masterpiece ‘La Loge’ as its centrepiece, alongside accompanying works on paper from the Ulster Museum’s collection. Anna and Rachel discuss prints in the exhibition, the place of printmaking in Impressionism and how important an artwork’s title can be for understanding its meaning.
