    I was an Art History major in college but sold out for journalism and a job. It was a necessity at the time but I crave that world. Thanks for giving it to me in your mini art classes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Author Interview CJ Denton | La Pittura
Q: What do you hope readers take away from La Pittura and how the book uses art to tell a larger story?
I hope readers become art fans first, appreciate the authentic reconstruction of Artemisia's world, and see how each painting in the novel parallels a stage in her life, blending research with a gripping, human narrative.
Author Interview CJ Denton | La Pittura
Q: How would you describe the day-to-day experience of being a woman artist in that period and what challenges did Artemisia face?
Artemisia benefited from being born into an artistic household but still faced significant limitations; she managed studios, negotiated prices, relied on patrons and a husband for access, and defied norms by asserting her status and demanding value for her work.
Author Interview CJ Denton | La Pittura
Q: What's the sort of pitch for the book for people who want that little bit of historical fiction? What are they going to get from your book?
The book is grounded in 17th-century Italy and real artworks, but it imagines Artemisia having a second life as she navigates patronage and fame, blending factual history with a thrilling fictional layer about murder and confession on canvas.
Author Interview Thomas Laqueur | The Dog's Gaze
Q: What inspired you to write a book focusing on dogs in art?
Laqueur explains that a striking museum observation—one third of the works in a major 18th-century show featuring children included dogs—sparked a broader inquiry into how dogs see and are seen in art, leading to a comprehensive history of dogs' gaze and its cultural imprint.
Walter De Maria | The Lightning Field (encore)
Q: When we talked about this episode, you said Walter De Maria's Lightning Field is the one minimalist work you actually like. Can you walk us through what you find compelling about it?
I appreciate how it stretches minimalism toward nature, creating an immersive experience that invites contemplation and connects to land art, while also noting how its accessibility and how the audience interacts with it affect its meaning.
