RA Magazine Spring 2025 Issue (March 4, 2025): The cover of the latest RA Magazine features The Dream (1866) by Victor Hugo, subject of the RA exhibition Astonishing Things: The Drawings of Victor Hugo.
Inside, cultural experts including Antony Gormley RA and Cameron Mackintosh reveal the visionary art of the author of Les Misérables. Plus: how Brazilian artists evolved a sense of place through art, from tropical modern fantasies to contemporary responses to colonial legacies; a visit to the Balearic Islands to see prize-winning social-housing built from locally quarried stone; an interview with artist-couple Michael Landy RA and Gillian Wearing RA; and ‘Inside the mind’ of maverick artist Helen Chadwick.
