Finnish artist Tove Jansson lived a richly unconventional life as a visual artist and writer and is best known as the creator of the troll characters, The Moomins. The Moomins were a hit children's book, cartoon strip, tv show and eventually theme park. The biggest exhibition of Jansson work will show in Paris in September 2023. Her biographer Prof Boel Westin talks about her bohemian life and enduring legacy.Filmmaker Adéla Komrzý spent a week filming the gruelling entrance exams for Czechia's most prestigious art school in her doco Art Talent Show. With wry humour, the film shows the efforts of prospective students and teachers and asks -- how do you judge talent?What goes into framing an artwork? Mark Chapman, founder of Chapman & Bailey, walks producer Lisa Divissi through the art of the picture frame. From ornate gilded frames of the 19th C. whose prototypes the company keeps under wraps, to the challenge of creating frames that are both invisible and enhancing.
