Ep 155: The story behind the painting: Fantauzzo, Flint, Quilty and Dobell

Podcast listeners click here to see images of the works Over the years, podcast guests have shared some fascinating back stories to paintings they have made, stories which you could never have guessed on merely viewing the work.
