Dorothea Lange, the accidental documentary photographer who captured the photo Migrant Mother, that went on to define an era in the minds of Americans.

Up next is Hannah Höch, a German artist who rose to prominence in the fragile time between World War I and World War II. Watching people at the beach stand behind cardboard cut-outs, she had the brilliant idea to do the same with photos. Thus was the invention of photomontage. The only woman in the Berlin Dada movement, she eventually left, because her androgyny, bisexuality, and complete independence was too forward for even her avant-garde community members.

2026/08/01

This month we take on the Great Richard Avedon, the man who redefined fashion photography and portraiture. He added movement and dynamism to pictures we previously expected to be static. He captured unexpected emotions from celebrities and politicians we’re only used to seeing with their metaphorical masks on. He pulled out vulnerability, playfulness, and the inner lives of his subjects. But ultimately he was telling his own story through the images of others all along. Listen in as Amy and

2026/06/01

This episode is out to solve a mystery: who really is Jim Goldberg? For someone currently alive who gives plenty of interviews and publishes memoir-style photo books, we still can’t shake the feeling that we are kept at an arm’s length from really understanding Jim. Join us as we chat about Jim Goldberg, the Magnum photographer who engages in “total documentation” of his subjects. His use of collage, writings, ephemera, and even videos is all in an effort to make sure his subjects are fully

The 60s ushered in a pursuit of heightened awareness. Not only was there a rise in the consumption of psychedelics, but the study of phenomenology advanced due to our curiosity about lived experiences shaping the individual’s view of the world.Scientists were developing technologies for mapping brain activity and tracking the various ways people process visual stimuli. We recognized our own perception of the world as our personal reality, and that there are as many realities as people to

Anna Atkins might be becoming more of a known quantity, but it took concerted effort by some of her superfans after many years in obscurity to put her in the spotlight. We don’t know much about her personal life, but we do know one important detail: she is the first person to create a photography book EVER. (Kind of a big deal.) But for her, it was simply a way to share her passion of illustrating the natural world and give aid to books that were text heavy. Tune in as Chris and Amy talk

This month in The Art Lab, we study the man, the myth, the legend: David Bowie. Tbh it’s rather daunting to talk about him on this podcast and then create art inspired by him. How do you properly address and be inspired by such an icon?

2026/02/01

Martin Parr was a prophet speaking in parables, giving biting commentary on life in England wrapped in an entertaining story for the masses. Those with ears, let them hear. Except make it comical. because according to Martin, “if you don’t laugh, you’d cry.”Through this lens (pardon the pun), we witness reality amplified. Martin was quite clear that photography was highly therapeutic for him, and he teaches us how to process our own experiences unapologetically and with a flair for the dramatic.

A major player in Dada and Surrealism, Man Ray’s first love might have been painting, but we know him for his photography. He embraced the experimental and helped elevate photography to a fine art.He stumbled upon techniques like solarization and the rayograph, which remind us to drop our expectations and welcome the “mistakes” that happen during the process.

Walk into a Kinko’s to use a copier…but make it art? That’s exactly how this month’s artist, Pati Hill, got her start—through xeroxing everyday household objects. What started as the role of family historian, turned into framed pieces on gallery walls. Why objects? Why a photocopier? And what makes something appeal beyond the reach of our own homes?

Just as exciting as studying an artist whose work is inspiring, is studying an artist with strong artistic philosophies. The advantage of contemporary artists is the myriad YouTube videos, articles, and podcasts we can find them on. We get to know them not only as artists, but as people with a real lived experience.Cig Harvey (b.1973) is one of those gems who is generous with her time and her hard-earned lessons.

The man who gave us “good artists copy; great artists steal", “art is a lie that makes us realize the truth,” and "learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist" is none other than Pablo Picasso. His artistic philosophy was on point and it led him to shock and offend people time and again in order to pave the way for what would become the new norm of modern art. He had urgency, he had something to say, and he refused to niche down. Come along with us as we talk about his

In this episode, Amy clues us into Michael Kenna’s artistic practice, philosophy, and the road that led him to seek out these moments of meditative solitude. Engaging with Michael Kenna’s work brings up so many topics even beyond the image itself, some of which are: photography allows us to capture a truth our eyes normally can’t see, the
