In this first series of Five on Five we’re asking five painters to speak about a painting that has influenced, inspired or resonated with them. In this episode Kylie Banyard reflects on Breastfeeding (2015) by American artist Dana Schutz.
As you listen, you can see in the painting (reproduced above) that Banyard is captivated by the images’ “yuck yum” qualities and its depiction of the maternal experience of breastfeeding.
We’ll be releasing more episodes of Five on Five: Painter Series over the coming weeks so stay tuned. You can listen to past episodes with Kate Beynon and Peter Waples-Crowe. To make sure you don’t miss an episode, subscribe to the Art Guide podcast on iTunes.
