Hey friends, I have a show that I’d like to share with you today. It’s right up my personal alley--so much so that I made a similarly-themed season of ArtCurious a few years back. Today it’s a pleasure to introduce you to The Art of Crime.  The Art of Crime is a history podcast about the unlikely collisions between true crime and the arts--created, written, and narrated by Gavin Whitehead. Gavin notes that he has had an interest in things criminal and artistic for as long as he can remember, and this podcast is the perfect intersection of those two fascinations. The show is now in its second season and is all about several artists who have committed, attempted, or at least been implicated in an assassination. This episode today is all about the painter David-Alfaro Siqueiros. A diehard Communist, Siqueiros fought in the Mexican Revolution in the mid-1910s. Over the next several decades, he would revolutionize the theory and practice of muralism in Mexico and abroad, largely inspired by his radical politics. In 1940, his political convictions led to a less honorable enterprise when he spearheaded an assault on the home of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky as he and his family slept in their beds.  Enjoy-- and I’ll be back to you next week with an all-new episode of ArtCurious.

Hello, listeners! I’ve got a special surprise for you this week. Instead of doing our typical Friday news cast, I’m sharing a recent discussion I had with author Damian Dibben about his latest novel, The Colour Storm. Set in the cutthroat art-world of Renaissance Venice, The Colour Storm is about the search for a new color. The daring young painter, Giorgione, is in the fight of his life to beat his rivals and find it first. It’s a searing tale of creation, ambition, rivalry and passion at one of the most seismic turning points in history, and it’s filled with characters both familiar and new, and is full of unexpected turns. It’s an excellent read and one that art lovers are sure to enjoy.  Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts and FOLLOW on Spotify Instagram / Facebook / YouTube Buy The Colour Storm here!

I’ve got a great interview for you today— this time, I’m featuring a conversation with Julia Voss on her fascinating book, Hilma af Klint, a Biography, which was released recently in its English translation.  The Swedish painter Hilma af Klint (1862–1944) was forty-four years old when she broke with the academic tradition in which she had been trained to produce a body of radical, abstract works the likes of which had never been seen before. Today, it is widely accepted that af Klint was one of the earliest abstract academic painters in Europe.   But this is only part of her story. Not only was she a working female artist, she was also an avowed clairvoyant and mystic. Like many of the artists at the turn of the twentieth century who developed some version of abstract painting, af Klint studied Theosophy, which holds that science, art, and religion are all reflections of an underlying life-form that can be harnessed through meditation, study, and experimentation. Well before Kandinsky, Mondrian, and Malevich declared themselves the inventors of abstraction, af Klint was working in a nonrepresentational mode, producing a powerful visual language that continues to speak to audiences today. The exhibition of her work in 2018 at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City attracted more than 600,000 visitors, making it the most-attended show in the history of the institution.  Despite her enormous popularity, there has not yet been a biography of af Klint—until now.

Here’s a preview from a new podcast, Death of the Artist, that explores a tragedy in the art world. For more than 35 years, accusations of murder shrouded one of the art world’s most storied couples: Was the famous sculptor Carl Andre involved in the death of his up-and-coming artist wife Ana Mendieta? Host Helen Molesworth revisits Mendieta’s death, taking a closer look at how she might have fallen out of the window of Carl’s 34th floor New York apartment, and the following trial which has divided the art world since 1985.

Today we’re thrilled to announce that I’ve created an audio course for those looking to explore the world of Renaissance Europe through the eyes of the women artists who thrived there. This course is called “Breaking Barriers: Women Artists of Renaissance Europe,” a 21-day course, broken up into daily episodes that are no longer than 10 minutes. And naturally, there are no pesky term papers or final exams to worry about-- just cool art history content that you won’t find anywhere else.  In this course, you'll get the satisfaction of learning about the Renaissance in-depth and with a greater capacity for understanding the limits and barriers to women seeking to work professionally in one of the most colorful eras of Western history. You'll become familiar with artists you've probably never heard of, all of whom made an incredible mark on art, but unlike traditional ArtCurious episodes, you'll be getting more content on a more frequent basis. In fact, you'll be getting an episode every day for three weeks. But just because you're getting a daily influx of information doesn't mean that it will be overwhelming because each episode will only be up to 10 minutes in length. You'll get to enjoy fun, information-packed audio that won't take a big bite out of your day.  We need to confirm there’s enough interest before production of this fantastic course starts, so if you’re a fan of ArtCurious and want to do something to support, sign up right now for “Breaking Barriers: Women Artists of Renaissance Europe” at avid.fm/jennifer. Register by June 7 for a special early buy-in price of just $21.99– and if we get enough interest the course will be available soon. Learn more about your ad choices.
