Art : Art History

Contemporary Art Curator Jeniffer Dasal hosts this wonderful, wonder-filled podcast trying to answer art history’s biggest questions.

The premise is that the listener does not have to have any prior knowledge of art history (thus “art history for all”). However, this podcast does not confine its explorations to a specific museum. Rather, it takes you on a trip across time and space; no art movement, decade, or culture is left unexplored.

Comedian host Michael Anthony proclaims he has no background in art history – which is why listening to him go down art-historical rabbit holes is so delightful.

Tamar Avishai’s The Lonely Palette is an experience. It promises to “return art history to the masses, one artwork at a time”, and, by all means, it delivers.

Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery director Kim Sajet invites cultural pundits from within and outside the museum space to tackle a variety of topics. They discuss their favorite painting or photograph from the gallery, while addressing issues like; misconceptions about Pocahontas in pop culture, the unfair portraits of the first First Ladies, and unlikely civil rights activists.
