    Machu Picchu (encore)
    2024/11/22
    Machu Picchu would translate to “old mountain” but it isn’t that old. While stone ruins are often associated with ancient civilizations thousands of years old, Machu Picchu is relatively young having been built in the middle of the 15th century. Nestled high in the Andes mountains of Peru, this ancient Incan citadel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a bucket-list destination for travelers from around the globe.

  • Nicolas de Staël | The Key

    Nicolas de Staël | The Key
    2024/11/18
    My guest this week is Patrick Quéré who shared a fascinating insight into the work of Nicolas de Staël. Patrick's great grandparents got to know the artist in the 1940s as he visited their Paris restaurant. Nicolas de Staël gave Patrick's great-grandparents a painting he called The Key. It was a deeply personal piece, a small canvas that had been resized, restretched, cut and patched by the artist and in the layers of heavy impasto, this abstract seascape reveals a tremendous amount about how Nicolas de Staël developed his signature style. Find more information and images on this doc. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. If you are thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.

  • Petra

    Petra
    2024/11/15
    Petra, the ancient city carved into the sandstone cliffs of Jordan, is a testament to the ingenuity and artistry of the Nabataean civilization. Established in the 4th century BC, Petra's strategic location along trade routes fueled its prosperity. The Nabataeans carved impressive structures like the Treasury and the Monastery directly into the rock face using chisels, hammers, and picks. The city's architecture reflects a blend of Hellenistic, Egyptian, and Assyrian influences. Petra's intricate carvings, water systems, and monumental tombs highlight their advanced skills and cultural beliefs. Though the city declined after an earthquake and shifting trade routes, its rediscovery in the 19th century unveiled its remarkable legacy. Many people today first laid eyes on Petra when it was featured in the popular movie, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Today, Petra stands as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, captivating visitors with its unique blend of history, architecture, and artistry. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

  • Maya Lin | Vietnam Veterans Memorial

    Maya Lin | Vietnam Veterans Memorial
    2024/11/11
    The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was established to honor those who died in the Vietnam War. Jan Scruggs, a veteran of the conflict, spearheaded the creation of the memorial and after a nationwide design competition, Maya Lin's design was chosen. Her design was controversial for its minimalist and non-traditional approach, but ultimately it was built and has become an important place for reflection and healing. The work is simple yet profound. The polished black granite is reflective like a mirror. It forces visitors to confront their own image alongside the names of the fallen creating a sense of connection and shared humanity. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is one of the 250 artworks required for AP Art History. Learn about more of those works by listening to my AP Art History Cram Session playlist on Spotify.

  • Max Beckmann | The Night (encore)

    Max Beckmann | The Night (encore)
    2024/11/08
    Max Beckmann was a German painter born on February 12, 1884. While he is often associated with the expressionist movement, he actually rejected that label. He was a part of the New Objectivity movement which shared some similarities with expressionists, but while the expressionists sought to portray their inner self for the world to see, the new objectivity movement was outward looking holding a mirror up to the world expressing the state of society as the artist saw it. In his painting The Night from 1918-1919, Beckmann shows the horrors of war and the devastation at home. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

  • Rosie the Riveter

    Rosie the Riveter
    2024/11/04
    The iconic image of "Rosie the Riveter" is often associated with female empowerment and the contributions of women to the war effort during World War II. However, the image we commonly associate with Rosie, the "We Can Do It!" poster, was not originally intended for that purpose. Created by J. Howard Miller in 1943 for Westinghouse Electric, it aimed to boost worker morale and reduce absenteeism in their factories. It wasn't until the 1980s that the poster gained popularity and became associated with Rosie the Riveter, thanks to its rediscovery and the feminist movement of the time. Another famous Rosie the Riveter image is Norman Rockwell's painting, which appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1943. This image, depicting a strong woman with a rivet gun and a lunch pail, was widely circulated and used in war bond drives, inspiring patriotism and encouraging women to join the workforce. Both the "We Can Do It!" poster and Rockwell's painting have become enduring symbols of female empowerment, resilience, and the contributions of women to society.

    Hilma af Klint (encore)
    2024/11/01
    Hilma af Klint was a painter making abstract art years before men like Kandinsky and she was exploring automatic drawing long before the surrealists. She knew she was well ahead of her time, which is why she stipulated in her will, that many of her greatest works were not to be displayed until 20 years after her death.
