We are officially back for Season Dos of Art Slice with Francisco Goya’s epic series of 80 prints - Los Caprichos.
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.
2nd Slice Teaser: The Bel Ami International Art Competition AKA The Great Surrealist Paint Off
Friday, December 30, 2022 • Duration 11:45
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

Cobalt Blue w/ Isabella Segalovich - Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory & Color Studies
Thursday, December 1, 2022 • Duration 01:24:15
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.

2nd Slice Teaser - Dorothea Tanning's Prismatic Works
Wednesday, August 31, 2022 • Duration 02:28
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:
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:
