Not only is this a fun and brisk listen, it brings the history of 20th century art to life for those of us who haven’t studied it in depth. By looking into the lives of these great artists (some of whom I knew, but some I’d never heard of), we get a new way into understanding their art. I’ll never look at 20th century art the same way again.
This podcast is excellent. They don’t sugarcoat the lives of the artists. It tells their stories from the inside looking out and vice versa. Absolutely interesting
I never review anything on here but I love these recordings and have listened to all of them multiple times since they came out. There are not enough well done and inspiring podcasts on art and artists! Thank you for this series :) still crossing my fingers that a second season emerges at some point…
I was captivated from the first episode and I couldn’t wait to continue listening. As someone who was raised Catholic, I looked up to Mother Teresa as a saint-like figure and this has changed my perspective.
I can’t recommend this podcast enough!
This is so cool and I admit I didn’t know about it but I was surprised to see the podcast is from the end of 2019… I would be very interested in a second season, perhaps get some more contemporary women artists.
This takes me back to watching the history channel as a kid. I’m SO GRATEFUL for this podcast! I wish there could be a new episode every week. As an art teacher- having this available to listen to and refer to is one of the most amazing gifts you could ever provide. Thank you Getty!
I am devouring this fascinating podcast series! As an African-American woman who worked in at the Hirschhorn catalogue/slide registry in Washington, DC my youth, to re-encounter the life and work of Krasner, Frankenthaler, and Saar- on their own terms- is an amazing gift! Brava!!!
Thank you! Would have loved this podcast when I was studying art history many years ago. Enjoying revisiting these artists and listening to them speak for themselves. Refreshing.
Thank you thank you thank you! What a tremendous project. As an artist, it is incredibly inspiring to hear the stories of these artists, and it makes me feel less alone in my struggle. The podcast is insightful, and provides inspiration to someone that has struggled against the generally accepted notion that the art world is a meritocracy. It highlights the shortcomings female artists face against the predominantly male institutional bias of collectors, teachers, and artists. It has kept half of the population out of the conversation by keeping them off the walls.
Hoping contributions like these will help shift the tide in museum acquisition, gallery programming, collection building, and those female artists hoping to get tenure track in learning institutions. 🤞🤞🤞🤞
Rare interviews that reveal the human being behind the artist. Precious windows into female artists often categorized and overlooked in spite of their fame. A must listen.
