Art Slice - A Palatable Serving of Art History – Details, episodes & analysis

Jack Shoulder and Mark Small of Museum Bums fame take us on a curvy tour of Art Historical Gluteal Clefts!

If you’d rather watch - you can do so here: https://youtu.be/1mCpKG4nuoU

Topics include counting museum rumps, apotropaic blessings from Goddesses heinies, Kappa Yokai looking for soul spheres in your rear…

We’re all still stumped about what was up with Hieronymus Bosch’s… erhm… interest in butts.  

And of course, the coded queerness hiding just between the cheeks of artists like Michelangelo and Henry Scott Tuke. 

For your daily dose of bum - follow @museumbums on social, and while you’re at it pick up Museum Bums: A Cheeky Look at Butts in Art from (preferably) your local bookstore.

The featured song was Ｓ ｔ ｏ ｃ ｋ Ｍ ｕ ｓ ｉ ｃ from Anonymous420's album ＳＴＡＲＴＵＰ ＮＡＴＩＯＮ

We are officially back for Season Dos of Art Slice with Francisco Goya’s epic series of 80 prints - Los Caprichos. 

Watch the full video here: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ9US22i0iE&t=2717s&ab_channel=ArtSlicePod

But before diving in, we look at Goya’s early career which coincided with the rise of French imported Enlightenment ideals and the rejection of said ideals in the Majo/a street style of the lower classes.

Topics include trolling gods, straw mannequins, art worms, French simps, and the uncanny parallels between the lil homies / lil palermos and Goya’s Majomies. 

What do you call it when a second serving of Art History is larger than your first serving???

We dig into the 1940’s - where Surrealism is having its day in Hollywood… ultimately leading to a painting competition between Ivan Albright, Eugene Berman, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini (sort of), Osvaldo Louis Guglielmi, Horace Pippin, Abraham Rattner, Stanley Spencer, and Dorothea Tanning…to be featured in full on technicolor in the film The Private Affairs of Bel Ami. 

And there are rules… they must create THEIR version of The Temptation of Saint Anthony…who had already been depicted in various states of getting his ass kicked by monster demons by non other than Stefano di Giovanni, Master of the Osservanza, Martin Schongauer, Michelangelo, and Hieronymus Bosch… no big deal. 

It’s a big ol’ episode to send 2022 packing…not to mention our first fully video episode… only available on our patreon: www.patreon.com/artslicepod

MUSIC: Rrrrrose Wieck - Le Bleu de la Nuit

For its fifth installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies (finally) presents a true primary color. . . COBALT BLUE with guest Isabella Segalovich @interstellar_isabellar on TikTok and Instagram - Professor of Interior Design at Kean University and member of the New York Crit Club faculty. She is also a writer, teacher, and content creator who educates on the intersections of art, design, and politics and regular contributor to Hyperallergic.

Join us as we discuss an abbreviated history of blue - from its fleeting and rare presence in nature, to humanity’s attempts to harness and assign meaning to it. Key moments include Egyptian blue, Ultramarine and YINmn blue.

Through a scientific breakthrough in the early 19th century, cobalt blue would become the steadfast true blue pigment missing on the painter’s palette, leading artists like Eugene Delacroix, Edouard Manet, Vincent Van Gogh and Richard Diebenkorn to use cobalt in their varied and expressive visions.

And lastly, we also dig into our associations with COBALT BLUE - which ranged from ocean hues, expansive skies, otherworldliness, happiness or even fresh crispness - all through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.

The song featured in this episode was “I need to do it to be alive” by Soft and Furious from the album Diving in the Self which is one of a hundred incredible songs by Rrrrrose of Loyalty Freak Music.

In this week’s episode,

Stephanie and Russell discover the many versions of second generation, multidisciplinary Surrealist Dorothea Tanning and dive into a few works from her nearly century long, prolific career:

Birthday, oil on canvas from 1942; soft sculpture installation, Hotel du Pavot, Chambre 202 from 1970-73; and in a Patreon exclusive Midi et demi (Half Past Noon, oil on canvas, 1956-57.

From small town Midwest roots to New York City hustling waiting for her big break, Dorothea’s early life and artistic journey are ones that many can relate to. Despite living in the shadow of her husband, OG Dada and Surrealist artist Max Ernst, she very much had her own painting techniques.

Be sure to listen to the Dorothea Tanning BONUS episode on our - Patreon.

Topics include Hitler’s banana broccoli breath, burning davenports, lil girl rage, sooty lungs, twee / tweed, fast talking, stolen dogs...and other things....

The Art Pantry this week is Soft Sculpture.

The featured music in this episode was “Lister” by A Liminal Face from the album “Friend or Foe?”. This album had us thumpin’ and boppin’ -  check the album out on spotify, or check them out on youtube.

For its fourth installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color (not a color) Theory and Color Studies presents . . . BLACK.

Join us as we discuss a brief history of the color BLACK beginning with how scientifically, it’s ‘a color not a color’ then onto the pigments and its utilization by artists since prehistoric times, through the Renaissance, Post-Impressionism until today which includes some artist feuds involving the blackest man-made pigment ever*. And lastly, we also dig into our associations with BLACK - which ranged from infiniteness, dominatrixes, faded black clothing, and monsters - through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.

In this Second Slice of Art History, we dig into the lesser known Dorothea Tanning work - her prismatic or insomnia works from the 1950s. To get access to this episode and support Art Slice, head on over to:

MUSIC: Scanglobe - Undulation (Remix) 

We are just gonna say it: August...absolutely... kicked our butts.

It’s like when you're creating something, it doesn't quite turn out how you want it to - like that painting in the studio that you just can't look at anymore because you've struggled so much with it - you just have to put it away for a while and come back to it.

 . . . So we did. It was especially disappointing because we had such high hopes for August.

However, things are in the upswing - we will have a full serving and a Color Theory episode in the next few weeks. 

In the meantime, here is a Patreon exclusive we managed to put together from a segment we just couldn't fit into a full episode...on Dorothea Tanning's time in Sedona Arizona, and the prismatic-abstract-but-not-that-abstract work she made as a result of her time there (which we LOVE).

Anyway, we're going to try and enjoy what’s left of August...which is…*checks calendar* … OH GOD.

...we'd love to know what you thought about Dorothea's prismatic works as well... let us know! 

In this Second Slice of Art History, we dig into a very early work of Wassily Kandinsky’s ‘Comet (aka Night Rider)’ from 1910, and discuss how it bookends (burger buns) his late period work perfectly. We also, share some of OUR earliest work… you can support this show, get access to this episode and other bonus material all at:

Buon Appetito! 

For its third installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies presents . . . FLUORESCENT YELLOW.

Join us as we discuss FLUORESCENT YELLOW’s history that all started in a DayGlo lab and its far reaching effect on everything from military warfare, fashion, subversive pop culture, music and art history.

We also dig into our associations - which ranged from danger/caution, eeriness, youth, and nightlife - with FLUORESCENT YELLOW through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.
