EA Festival 2022 - Maggi Hambling in conversation with James Cahill

Maggi Hambling in conversation with James Cahill
James Cahill, art historian and critic, and Maggi Hambling, the fiery contemporary artist born in Sudbury, trade notes about creativity. Hambling tells Cahill about her latest projects, themes and inspirations, chief among them, the perennial influence of East Anglia on her work, while Cahill explains what led him to write Tiepolo Blue, his first novel (hitting bookshelves on 9th June 2022). This event was co-produced with Essex Book Festival.

I love this interview and Maggi’s way of responding. So down to earth and not at all pretentious. So glad to have found this video.

She is so fabulous. Talented but such a character! Rare these days. ❤️

[@wuipuichang611]

laughing already. Maggie is so funny. Thanks for this

I was quite concerned to hear about Maggi Hambling’s recent health problems. Hope she can get her health back on track. I’ve come to know what Ms Hambling means when she says “he/she’s very bright” to an interviewer.

Before she quit smoking, she reminded me of David Hockney & he of her…..the way they talk about art & the accent, the smoking, stylish clothing…..like two peas in a pod.

I hope she writes her autobiography. Maggi has a peacock like personality. No cow shit at all. I would love to read her story

She seems to have drunk the American Cooley , simply repeating the scare stories , not a character I find at all appealing ! Why do people assume an artistic talent comes with being a someone special , I find so many artists ego driven !
