On Tuesday, July 12, 2022, Joseph Gallivan interviews Nina Olsson about “Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, The Exhibition”, which runs at Pioneer Place Mall through August 21. Olsson is a painting conservator who has studied in Italy, and she talks about Michelangelo’s mastery of painting on wet plaster, his approach to the human form, and how his talent as a colorist was unveiled by the conservation of the Sistine Chapel in the 1980s. The radio show will contain a trivia question and the chance to win two free tickets to “Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, The Exhibition.”
This interview was recorded on a Pixel 6 phone on July 6, 2022, without masks, in person and engineered by KBOO volunteer Ray Bodwell. https://kboo.fm/blog/55224
