Brice Marden talks about how his abstract paintings have evolved over the past 40 years. Then, we hear the true story of a chateau near Marseille that served as a safe house for intellectuals fleeing Nazis during WWII. Plus: Holocaust survivor Martin Gray joins us. And a new novel imagines the challenges a political dissident from China faces when he takes up a year-long artist’s residency in Los Angeles.

A Safe House Near Marseille
France was a dangerous place for artists and intellectuals in the early 1940s—many faced arrest, deportation…even death at the hands of the Nazis. In Villa Air-Bel, Rosemary Sullivan tells the true story of a safe house near Marseille that gave refuge to Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and many others.
