Enjoy!!

Hello and welcome back. This week we have a great episode all about the history of Art Medals with British artist (and medal designer) Elliot Birt.

Art medals and artists whom design medals is certainly an unusual topic / medium of sculpture but a completely facinating one. Of there many benefits, they are also an incredibly accessible way to collect small scale sculptures.

Join Elliot and myself as we discuss the ins and outs of art medals, key artists who have worked in the medium and how it continues to this day!

Why is art Important?

It’s a big question; and one that I have asked every guest on the podcast so far.

So, join me this week as I try to unpack the multiple answers to this question with a little help of some of the podcast’s previous guests!

Celtic Mirrors & Iron Age Treasures with James Handley

Welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast!!

We are nearing the end of Season 2 and this week I am bringing you something a little different - an episode all about Celtic Mirrors and Iron Age Treasure!

This week, I sit down with British Artist James Handley to discuss something completely unique to Britain, Celtic Hand Held Mirrors which have been found all over the British Isles. But, I hear you ask, what are these mirrors so important?

To begin with, they are incredibly rare, only been 29 or 30 of these incredible mirrors have been discovered. They are also incredibly detailed and complex in their design and build, which when you think about when they were first created (from approximately 300 B.C. to 70 A.D) it is beyond mind-blowing.

We know very little about them but what they do offer modern-day viewers is a look into British Craft and Design History.

James also discusses one of the greatest Celtic Art finds ever discovered in Britain, the Battersea Shield, as well as one of the biggest ‘Torc’ findings in Britain.

This episode celebrates the craftsmanship, beauty and design of these objects and why they deserve to be considered as some of the greatest artworks ever made in Britain.

Enjoy!

Happy International Women’s day!

I could not think of a better way to mark this special day than to take a deep drive back into four previous podcast episodes which celebrated four brilliant women artists.

Today I revisit my episodes all about Anna Atkins, Frida Kahlo, Peggy Angus and Tracey Emin.

I loved dipping my toes back into these episodes and hope you enjoy them too!

Happy International Women’s Day!

Jo xx

It’s Episode 50 and oh my - I have quite the episode for you all this week!

Today, I speak with the brilliant Sara McKee, who is an art historian and gallerist based in Caernarfon in Wales.

After studying Art History at University Sara ’got herself real Job’ in the advertising and marketing world and soon enough made a name for herself in the industry.

It wasn’t until the tragic death of her husband, however, that Sara decided to return to her first love - Art History.

Fast forward 10 years Sara now runs Life: Full Colour, a gallery dedicated to supporting both artists and the community in where it is based.

In this episode, Sara and I discuss the importance of creativity, why it is never too late for a career in the art world and why we should all be living our lives in Full Colour.

A beautiful episode that will uplift and inspire.

Thank you, Sara - it was a pleasure.

Enjoy all!

Jo

Welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast!

This week I am joined by British artist, Cherish Marshall, who will be sharing her love of all things Salvador Dali!

Dali is now an iconic artist whose art seems to have worked its way into the fabric of our everyday living. Much like artists like Van Gogh, Dali is associated with certain items - such as melting clocks & surrealist landscapes - yet there is so much more to this great man!

Cherish talks about 4 lesser-known works from the great artist and discusses beautifully why there is so much more to Dali than melting clocks and giant elephants!!!

We discuss his ‘Jeremy Kyle’ levels of family up-bring, his love of bread, a late in life finding of religion, his money-making mentality and just what role he played in one of today’s biggest sweet brands - Chupa Chups!!!

Another great episode and guest! I learned a lot in this episode and I’m sure you will too!

Love, Jo xx

This week I sit down with photographer Rachel Vogeleisen to discuss 4 works from the brilliant Artemisia Gentileschi!!!

Artemisia Gentileschi was an Italian Baroque painter and is considered among the most accomplished seventeenth-century artists.

In an era when women had few opportunities to pursue artistic training or work as professional artists, Gentileschi was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence and she had an international clientele.

Many of Gentileschi's paintings feature women from myths, allegories, and the Bible, including victims, suicides, and warriors. Gentileschi was known for being able to depict the female figure with great naturalism and for her skill in handling colour to express dimension and drama.

Her achievements as an artist were long overshadowed by the story of Agostino Tassi raping her when she was a young woman and her participation in the trial of her rapist.

Rachel and I discuss how this event shaped the art that she made, why she is a feminist icon and why her subjects are still (sadly) so relevant to today’s world.

A great episode and I hope you enjoy it!

Barbara Hepworth is one of the greatest artists to ever come out of the UK.

Achieving monumental heights of fame and success during her life, she developed a sculptural language that makes her work not only timeless but so instantly recognisable as her own.

This week I take you on a whistle-stop tour of her life and work during her time living and working in her iconic studio and gardens in St.Ives!!

I talk you through Hepworth’s practice, my experience while visiting her studio in St Ives, August 2021; and why I think it’s important to visit where an artist works to truly help understand what makes them tick as a creator.

The studio was an experience which will stay with me forever and somewhere I cannot recommend enough should you find yourself in Cornwall and wondering how to spend a day!!

I hope you enjoy it!

TRIGGER WARNING

This episode contains references to rape and sexual violence, which some listeners may find upsetting.

Welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast. 

This week I sit down with Melody Thornton to discuss the representations of rape and sexual violence within Art History.

Melody talks us through 5 works from within the history of art which, on first appearance, seem perfectly innocent.

We discuss misleading titles, the language used to describe / justify the scenes / what is happening and why these images continue to be celebrated within the history of art despite depicting violence towards women.

This episode has left me asking more questions than it has given answers and I want to thank Melody for being such a brilliant guest and discussing this topic with me.

Melody is incredibly knowledgeable about this subject, having had it inspire her series of photographic works which sees her save women throughout art history from their abusers as part of her master’s degree. Please check out her series via her Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/melodythorntonartist/

I completely understand this topic is not for everyone, however, art history is full of depictions of women (and men) suffering at the hands of an abuser and I feel it is important to have this conversation. There has been essays, catalogues and exhibitions based around this subject.

Any episode I release is never meant to upset or anger anyone, only educate and start a discussion. Please do listen, this conversation is an important one.

Hello and welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast. Today I’m joined by artist Phil Barton to discuss the groundbreaking artist Gustave Metzger.

A pioneer of protest and political art activism, Metzger developed the concept of ⁠Auto-Destructive Art⁠ and the ⁠Art Strike⁠. He went on to forge a career which saw retrospectives held at TATE and The Serpentine Gallery.

Metzger is an artist I had not come across and found endlessly fascinating as my conversation with Phil went on. It’s an episode not to be missed. Thank you so much to Phil for being such a brilliant guest.

He may be one of art history’s most iconic artists but there is a lot to Vincent Van Gogh which has become myth and legend - and some of it more damaging to his repetition than you might expect!!

This week I am joined by Yorkshire based artist Mimi (Millie) Cullen to discuss the one, the only - Vincent Van Gogh.

Mini takes a drive into Van Gogh life, his mental health struggles, discuss how ‘the ear’ incident (isn’t what it seems to be) and the love between Vincent and his brother Theo.

We discuss three iconic works and discuss how being such a famous artist in death, is actually, sometimes, a bad thing. As people (aka me) tend to think there is nothing new to learn.

It's a great episode with a great guest! 

ENJOY!!

Welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast

Today we are celebrating the art of pride by taking a whistle-stop tour of 5 works that celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.

Starting as a blog post back in 2020, I received a lot of attention from this blog and decided to turn it into an Instagram series. I learnt so much that it seemed a shame to leave it hidden in the depths of my Instagram / blog so I decided to turn it into a podcast episode! I hope you like it.

Today I’ll be discussing the original pride flag, the first public monument to the LGBT+ community and how a Hackney street artist raised thousands of pounds in aid of celebrating Pride!

Welcome back to part 4 of my series Art of the Deal!

This time I'm taking you on a whistle-stop tour of the life of Italian/American art dealer Leo Castelli.

Castelli was a powerhouse on the American art scene in the 1950s / 60s / 70s and helped champion the names of now art world superstars Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg! Castelli has left a lasting impact on the art scene as we know it and even mentored now mega dealer Larry Gagosian when he was starting out.

I talk you through how Castelli ended up working in the art world at the age of 50, the 'Castelli Method' and how he forged lifelong bonds with the artists he showed.

Castelli is an incredible character within the history of art and the art market and I hope you enjoy learning more about this brilliant dealer!

3 reasons the art world is intimidating and what you can do to overcome it.

Hello and welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast - a podcast that celebrates all things art historical.

Today is a solo episode where I discuss an article I wrote in June 2021 entitled ‘3 reasons the art world is intimidating and what you can do to overcome it.’

When I published the article for Art Browser TV I got a lot of traction and a brilliant response from people, so I thought I would adapt what I had written into an episode.

I discuss 3 reasons the art world seems intimidating - the buildings, the people and the prices!

I hope I break these three barriers down for you to help you feel a little more comfortable in these spaces.

Get out and see some art as art really is, for all!!

Hello and welcome back this week we are talking all thing Faves and Fauvism with British artist Loïs Cordelia. 

Fauvism  is a style of painting and an art movement that emerged in France at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the style of les Fauves (French for the wild beasts), a group of modern artists whose works emphasised painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.

Hello and welcome back to Jo's Art History Podcast! 

I'm delighted to be returning December 14th 2021 with not one, not two but THREE new episodes!

I look forward to seeing you then! 

Until then, keep learning and remember, art is for all!!

It’s the final episode of season one! 

Yes, after 35 weeks of non-stop art history content, I thought now would be the perfect time to round off season one is style - and I promise we are going out on a high!

On today’s episode I sit down with artist and art historian Joanne Oatts to discuss one of Art History’s most iconic female artists - Georgia O’Keeffe!

O’Keeffe is one of those artists who was all too quickly pigeon holed as a creative who solely painted flowers and that contained highly sexualised undertones. I am happy to report however she is far more than that! Thanks to an continued effort of art historians around the world, as well as a blockbuster exhibition at the Tate Modern in 2016 O’Keeffe’s outpour has been rightly reevaluated showing the artist in all her glory.

Joanne a.k.a. Jo takes us on a whistle stop tour of some of O’Keeffe’s outpour and we discuss 5 works which highlight the varied creative developments of the artist’s life.

O’Keeffe was an absolute powerhouse. Not only as an artist but as a woman and I can think of no better artists to round off season one of the Jo’s Art History Podcast with.

Sit back and relax as Jo and I discuss the amazing Georgia O’Keeffe.
