Episode No. 754 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features author Andrew Graham-Dixon and artist Rachel Burgess.

Graham-Dixon is the author of “Vermeer: A Life Lost and Found,” which was just published by WW Norton. The book, a biography-ish of one of the most famous and elusive artists of the Dutch seventeenth century, offers exciting new ideas about Vermeer’s life and presents new arguments about why and for whom Vermeer made most of his paintings. Amazon and Bookshop offer “Vermeer” for $35-42.

The Eleanor D. Wilson Museum at Hollins University is showing “Rachel Burgess: Particles and Waves” through June 6. The exhibition presents Burgess’ recent large-scale works on paper, typically monotypes, that depict landscapes and domestic scenes. Burgess has been included in group shows at the Lower East Side Printshop, New York, at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, and more.
