Spirit Photography | Some Spooky Fun Historic Hoaxes

William Mulmer was born in 1832. For historical context, the oldest known Daguerrotype is from 1837, so Mulmer was born right around the same time as photography, and he loved the new medium, but started off as a hobbyist. Mulmer worked as a jewelry engraver, but in his spare time, he liked taking photographs of his family and friends. In 1860 though, he took a selfie that would change the course of his life. In his self portrait, he noticed something strange. There appeared to be a ghost behind

Frank Lloyd Wright is one of America's most celebrated architects. He developed his distinctive prairie style emphasizing the horizontal planes of the landscape because he wanted his buildings to be in harmony with nature and fit in with their surroundings. While Wright was a highly respected and influential architect in the early 20th century, by the 1930s, he was seen by many as past his prime. Falling Water was a comeback piece for him demonstrating that decades into his career he could still

In 1658, John Comenius created Orbis Sensualium Pictus, which translates to The World Around Us in Pictures. Comenius was a teacher from what is now the Czech Republic and he published his book in Latin and German, though it was a huge hit so it was quickly translated into English as well. Like so many teachers, he created his own resources to help his students learn. He created a book with 150 illustrations to make it engaging and accessible to learners of all ages with the idea that engaging the

Paul Cezanne was an influencial post impressionist painter. He was a very thoughtful and deliberate painter taking an almost scientific approach to the landscape reducing nature to brush strokes that would indicate the various planes. He famously sought to reduce all subjects to a collection of geometric forms. For this episode, I was joined by Dr. Lex, host of the LuxeSci Podcast.

I was joined once again, by my good friend, Chuck Hoff who teaches art at the middle school my students feed into.

Andy Warhol | Marilyn Monroe Diptych

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2022/09/09

Warhol’s Marilyn Monroe diptych is a post modern altarpiece. A diptych is a two-paneled piece. Traditionally, diptychs would be associated with religious artworks. Specifically Christian works. They often conveyed stories of the lives of saints or they were portraits of significant religious figures. A diptych would be a portable altarpiece, hinged so that the artwork could be closed off and protected. Andy Warhol, much like Marilyn Monroe and this portrait, was filled with seeming contradictions

Martha Graham was a pioneer of modern dance. She was 17 years old when she saw her first dance performance by Ruth St. Denis. A few years later she began studying at Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts founded by Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn. In 1922, she danced in a silent film that tried to synchronize the live sound with the film.

The great pyramids constructed by ancient Egyptians at Giza are the last of the seven wonders of the ancient world still remaining. These massive stone monuments have left people awestruck for thousands of years. True to the distinction as wonders of the ancient world, people have wondered and speculated about how the great pyramids were constructed pretty much as long as they have been around. While some conspiracy theorists like to talk about aliens because they cannot conceive of a world in which

This is an encore presentation of my episode on Charuvi Agrawal, the contemporary Indian artist. In 2014, she created a massive sculpture of Hanuman using 26,000 bells. I think what I love most about the piece is the way that her work engages the audience. Not only can we see, the piece, but people can touch it, and hear the bells ring out.

Frida Kahlo | The Two Fridas

Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages ·

2022/08/19

Frida Kahlo was an interesting artist. I first became familiar with her work when I was a teenager after watching a bio pic in an art house theater. She has become an icon of not only art history, but also pop culture. When a person becomes an icon in the popular imagination, it can become a challenge to tell the woman from the myth. If I were to summarize Kahlo in one sentence, I would say she was a feminist surrealist painter berst known for her unflinching self portraits. Who ARTed is an Airwave
