Mini Monet
4: Thoroughly Modem Monet
As one of the original Impressionists, Monet is often thought of primarily as a 19th-century artist, but he painted more than 450 paintings after 1900. Some of his later work was neglected and left in his studio after his death in 1926, but Monet's reputation underwent a dramatic revival in the 1950s, when critics saw a link between his late works and those of the abstract expressionists. Artist John Bellany and historians Briony Fer and Maryanne Stevens are among those exploring the distinctive qualities and enormous scale of Monet's last great works. With excerpts from Monet's letters read by Paul Scofield.

What is in a voice? While one 17th-century thinker believed the voice to be an expression of male sexual potency and a 20th-century theorist once called for revolt against
"phonetic consciousness", there is no doubt that the human voice is a complex, powerful and intensely personal phenomenon. Paul Allen explores a many-layered story of philosophy and feeling with Jonathan Ree , author of / See a Voice:
