Summary

COI synopsis: How do you visualise Susanna in the bible story? British artist Peter Blake sees her as something of a contemporary glamour girl. London Line takes a look at Blake’s idea and at the exciting, sometimes startling, interpretations by David Hockney, John Bratby, Carol Annand and other artists commissioned to illustrate a new edition of the Old Testament recently published by Oxford University Press.
