Description
A wildly entertaining and surprisingly educational dive into art history as youve never seen it before, from the host of the beloved ArtCurious podcast
Were all familiar with the works of Claude Monet, thanks in no small part to the ubiquitous reproductions of his water lilies on umbrellas, handbags, scarves, and dorm-room posters. But did you also know that Monet and his cohort were trailblazing rebels whose works were originally deemed unbelievably ugly and vulgar? And while you probably know the tale of Vincent van Goghs suicide, you may not be aware that theres pretty compelling evidence that the artist didnt die by his own hand but was accidentally killedor even murdered. Or how about the fact that one of Andy Warhols most enduring legacies involves Caroline Kennedys moldy birthday cake and a collection of toenail clippings?
ArtCurious is a colorful look at the world of art history, revealing some of the strangest, funniest, and most fascinating stories behind the worlds great artists and masterpieces. Through these and other incredible, weird, and wonderful tales, ArtCurious presents an engaging look at why art history is, and continues to be, a riveting and relevant world to explore.
