Did you miss our LIVE bonus show on Fireside, the interactive storytelling
platform? Don’t worry— you can catch the replay on Fireside, or enjoy the
bonus audio here. In this conversation from January 2022, I spoke with
Lilianne Milgrom, a Paris-born, internationally acclaimed artist and
award-winning author. She holds two degrees from Melbourne University and
an associate degree from the Academy of Art in San Francisco. She exhibits
her artwork around the world and is the recipient of multiple awards and
residencies. In 2011, she became the first authorized copyist of Gustave
Courbet’s controversial painting L’Origine du Monde (The Origin of the
World) which hangs in the Orsay Museum in Paris. Milgrom spent a decade
researching and writing L’Origine, her debut novel, all about Courbet’s
incredible painting—as well as Milgrom’s own personal experience of copying
the work. L’Origine has snagged no less than six literary honors, including
the Publishers Weekly 2021 US book award for Best Adult Fiction. |
