Your letter arrived this morning making me very happy and very miserable – miserable, because it is so little a letter when one wants you and because you don’t seem to be happy either – all that makes it more and more intolerable and absurd.' writes Roland on the 25th October 1937 In this episode Roland speaks of the artists and work he is doing in London and they both discuss some of the political situation at the time.Guest Speakers: Antony Penrose (son of Lee Miller and Roland Penrose and Co-Director of Lee Miller Archives), Hilary Roberts (Independent Curator, formerly senior curator of photography at Imperial War Museums, London), Hussein Omar (lecturer on Modern global history, University college Dublin) and Sam Bardaouil (Founder & curator of ArtReorientated).Lee Miller's letters read and Presented by Ami Bouhassane Roland Penrose's letters read by Adam Grayson Music composed by David Cullen Producer: Tolly Robinson All content © Lee Miller Archives, England 2023.
