    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 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.
Author Interview Kory Stamper | True Color
Q: And can you give us some interesting tidbits of history and unexpected color creations from the materials and techniques you've explored?
She shares stories about Tyrian purple, its production process, and how historic color knowledge evolved from natural dyes to synthetic dyes, including the challenges and breakthroughs in dye chemistry.
Author Interview Kory Stamper | True Color
Q: Okay, so the first question, you know, I feel like I wouldn't need to ask for myself, but for listeners, what inspired you to do such a deep dive into color, to fill a book with it?
Kory explains that working as a dictionary writer exposed her to the quirky, precise color definitions in old entries, which sparked a broader fascination with how colors are measured, described, and understood, leading to the book True Color.
Gavin Whitehead | Raven
Q: Where did Raven come from, and what shaped his early years and dream of a wax museum?
Gavin explains Raven's self-created origin story tied to Harlem, his rise as a fashion designer, and how those threads fed into the decision to open a black-history wax museum in Harlem, with the idea evolving from a 1950s inspiration to a 1989 realization.
