It’s an interesting time to look at Giorgio de Chirico and the influence of Nietzsche on his work. The streets outside are looking mighty familiar to De Chirico's paintings – desolate, full of foreboding, and with a sense of warped reality. We know them well, but now they’re empty or populated by hidden, masked versions of ourselves.

Kunst Please is a micro-dose of modern art history. An exploration into the more unexpected side of modern and contemporary art, featuring stories of the famous and the infamous, the weird and the wonderful, the unheard, the cult, the criminally overlooked and the criminally insane.

Created and produced by Jonathan Heath.
