Description

What do you call it when a second serving of Art History is larger than your first serving???We dig into the 1940’s - where Surrealism is having its day in Hollywood… ultimately leading to a painting competition between Ivan Albright, Eugene Berman, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini (sort of), Osvaldo Louis Guglielmi, Horace Pippin, Abraham Rattner, Stanley Spencer, and Dorothea Tanning…to be featured in full on technicolor in the film The Private Affairs of Bel Ami.  And there are rules… they must create THEIR version of The Temptation of Saint Anthony…who had already been depicted in various states of getting his ass kicked by monster demons by non other than Stefano di Giovanni, Master of the Osservanza, Martin Schongauer, Michelangelo, and Hieronymus Bosch… no big deal.  It’s a big ol’ episode to send 2022 packing…not to mention our first fully video episode… only available on our patreon: www.patreon.com/artslicepod  Consider joining at any tier to gain access and to help fund the making of Art Slice in 2023!  MUSIC: Rrrrrose Wieck - Le Bleu de la NuitAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

A humorous, inclusive, and Palatable Serving of Art History, brought to you by visual artists and Art Historian Stephanie Dueñas and Russell Shoemaker. We cover Art History in a totally different way - without all the gatekeeping, privilege, and that cognitive fog called ‘art speaking’. We dig into the famous artists you may have slept through during your Art History lectures, and the ones that have been left out; possibly due to their ethnicity, gender, race, sexual identity, or lack of institutional access. We talk about the context of the time, relate it to today and then we discuss the actual artwork: what’s in it, what it’s about, what’s it made from - is it any good? All from an artist’s perspective, and then we decide if it goes in the eclectic Art Slice Museum - which is definitely real and NOT imaginary. Oh… and we have to keep our hungry, hungry Pantrémons satiated by feeding them practical descriptions of art mediums and movements from our Art Slice Pantry, or they might eat us.
