Las Meninas & Court Painting

We've got another stand-alone analysis for you today, Honeys.Our work in question for the day is Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas of 1556. To get ourselves into the royal mindset, we're taking it back to 17th-century Spain and diving into the relationships between Diego Velazquez and the Spanish royal family. The painting itself will give us clues into the artist's role in their lives and his status at court in general, so expect to hear a bit about each character seen here. We will also going to look at court painters and the tradition of court painting a little more broadly.Enjoy your trip into the court of Philip IV!Source Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CkIXYwgIozd3Iq6ITwreixgIjUASloCFaMDqs81qXVI/edit?usp=sharing

Jargonology: The Terminal Breakdown

I know what you're thinking, Honeys-- a whole episode on art and art history terms?!We understand how this could sounds pretty dry, BUT the terms we have chosen for your today are just funky and therefore memorable, or effectively tricky enough in practice, to be worth talking about. ...And, tbh, I didn’t know and/or forgot what some of these are so it's a good review for all of us!We hope the terminal breakdown will help all the Honeys follow along in future episodes by taking an episode to explain what we mean, and tell you why certain phrasing really does matter when you're talking art!Source Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1H5Sv1_8DLb0A-M4tt_uDhI1kCqYidVo19rx0RDbudqQ/edit?usp=sharing

The "Primitive" Problems of Picasso

You know I love a good alliteration, Honeys, and this episode's title not only scratches that itch but tells you everything.In today's discussion of art history, we zoom in on the late 19th and early 20th centuries to talk about Primitivism and its baby brother, Cubism. We'll take a look at how "primitive" evolved as a term, shifting with its times to reference other cultures and places in the world instead of Europeans' own past cultures. We'll look at how it inspired several other movements and many of the trends of modernism, but most importantly, we'll reveal the artists behind some of Primitivism's most enduring and most recognizable tropes to take you on a comprehensive journey through the worlds of pure imagination created by Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, and more.You'll also finally learn why I say "ew" every time I say Gauguin! Spoiler alert: he's problematic.Enjoy the buzz, Honeys.Source Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ACSGfSHyjyxACCvzDq-I3Ju5D7XpldbuL98YC8O5LKM/edit?usp=sharing

The Indomitable Mrs. Bonger

Though Van Gogh is one of the most famous male artists of all time, he never would have become a household name without the efforts of one very special woman: Johanna Bonger van Gogh, his sister-in-law. Inheriting Vincent's artworks and letters to her husband after both passed away, she decided she had inherited her husband's mission to make his brother famous as well. Jo ensured Vincent's legacy, and now we will do our part to ensure hers.Source Doc : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uU6h2ElQa9GBtG-SLMpdxhBCPGOStACeD_CADvm_Wsc/edit?usp=sharing

We have reached Chapter 3 of ATPPO already! In this new episode, we're focused on arts of the outdoors: artworks that are made up of natural materials, ones solely focused on land and/or sky, what these outdoor works mean, why they were a thing... you know the drill by now, I hope. Some of our featured artists literally move land and manipulate sky to achieve the goals of their artworks, driven by fascinations with natural phenomena or earthly materials themselves. Others are fascinated by how land can be used to represent societal scars. All, however, explore how we, as humans, interact with the land in the name of art.

In the second part of ATPPO, we will explore artworks that are made up of color! Whether they are strictly one shade of one hue or not, the modernists' shared experiments with the power of nonfigurative, colorful artwork was among the defining focuses of 20th century art. Though these pieces can seem off-putting or seemingly simple, the philosophies behind some of the most iconic single- or few-colored works of the era were very personal and detailed.

SERIES, Art That Pisses People Off, Part I: Getting In Your Space

I'm excited (and relieved) to announce our newest series, Art That Pisses People Off!First up: Getting In Your Space! For the next 5ish episodes, we will be tackling art that is commonly misunderstood, or not understood at all, in order to help all the Honeys work through challenging concepts that have arisen since modern art bloomed so that we can all understand what is going on there a little bit better. The first category on our list: art that forces you to consider spatial relationships. Some make you think about how it interacts with the architecture surrounding it, others about how you move around or through it, but all of it Gets In Your Space. Get it? Even if you don't, I've got you covered. Just tune in for our new episode!Source Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1MzRFoaSutt6tvR3EXFNruPsU7yb93dX07QK-e8lxhy8/edit?usp=sharing

Battle Royale: The Importance of the 19th c Critic

This week's episode, we're taking a bit of a left turn from our usual topics to take a close look at the history of the art critic. Art critics have been highly influential on how societies think about art since the Renaissance, and they still matter today! The critics of the 19th century, however, were much different from those who came after them in terms of their own social power, as well as their emphasis on social moralizing through art criticism. Such critics also arguably had more intense relationships (good or bad) with their contemporary artists. In "Battle Royale...", we'll be diving into what their impacts and relationships looked like then, and how they shaped the art of that century.Source Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UagX5crB6vHw0wcQZru4hzGec0yFhFp43G47btuYv-Q/edit?usp=drive_link
