Podcast: A Deep Dive Conversation about Leon Kossoff's Vigorous Drawings of London

Painting the city with physicality, exhilaration and angst

In this podcast we discuss Leon Kossoff, a British artist who was known for his paintings and drawings that depicted the energy and dynamism of urban London. His art reflects the changes, loss, survival, and renewal of postwar Britain through his vibrant, sometimes somber, representations of London's landscapes, buildings, and people.

Kossoff's artistic process involved an intense, physical engagement with his materials, often using charcoal and oil paint to create expressive works of emotional weight that raise some existential questions.
