Episode 59 of ‘All About Art’: Art in Fiction: Discussing Tiepolo Blue, a novel by James Cahill

In this episode, I sat down with James Cahill, art critic, academic and author. James published his debut novel in 2022 titled Tiepolo Blue, in which art historian Don is captivated by the Venetian master Giovanni Battista Tiepolo’s skies. The story is set in the 1990’s, beginning in Cambridge where Don is a professor. Throughout the novel, Don goes through both an artistic and sexual awakening after moving to London, starting a new job, and charting unfamiliar territory.

Listen on to hear me ask James about the process of writing the novel. We speak about his research, the storyline, the setting of the London art scene in the 1990’s, and more. He also takes time during our interview together to give us a reading directly from the book, allowing us to gain a deeper insight into his writing and the main character’s personality.

Thank you James for coming on the podcast!
