1. The Lonely Palette
"To think of repetition as 'boring' is to ignore what a truly spectacular device it really is." — Tamar Avishai, on Andy Warhol's use of repetition
Andy Warhol's pop art may seem vibrant and fun, but upon closer inspection, his images can be quite unsettling.
2. Benjamen Walker's Theory of Everything
"There is total joy in the visceral hedonistic pleasures of pop [art] as much as there are in the more intellectual side of it." — Dan Fox
Author Dan Fox wants to reclaim the word 'pretentious' and take it back from those who condescend to the curious and adventurous.
3. The Land of Desire
"Berthe's own life is usually spoken of...in relation to the men in her life. She is mentioned in passing as...the token woman along for the ride." — Diana Stegall
One of the most underrated Impressionists, Berthe Morisot, had a complex romantic relationship with brothers Édouard and Eugène Manet.
4. Stuff to Blow Your Mind
"You don't think of someone saying [to Gustav Klimt]...can you take another crack at it?" — Stuff to Blow Your Mind, on patrons disliking artists' first attempts
Some artworks remain unfinished due to neglect, while others are intentionally stopped short. Learn the nature and psychology behind incomplete works.
6. 99% Invisible
"The Bauhaus aspired to lift society up... into a new world of rationalism, beauty, good art and good design." — Sam Greenspan on the Bauhaus movement
Lucia Moholy was one of the pioneers in helping spread the Bauhaus movement, but the photographer was denied all credit when she lost control of her negatives.
