ArtCurious Podcast

Works that we take for granted today as masterpieces, or as epitomes of the finest of fine art, could also have been considered ugly, of poor quality, or just bad when they were first made. With the passage of time comes a calm and an acceptance. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are many works peppered throughout art history that were straight-up shocking to the public when they were first presented decades, or even hundreds of years ago.Today's work of "shock art:" Eakins' The Gross ClinicPlease  SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts!Twitter / Facebook/ Instagram SPONSORSThe Great CoursesAllModern (use promo code ARTCURIOUS for 10% off your first purchase)Soraa Radiant (use promo code ARTCURIOUS for 15% any purchase over $50) Learn more about your ad choices.

But in 2011, two Pulitzer Prize-winning authors published a book titled Van Gogh: The Life that stunned the art world. Therein, Gregory White Smith and Stephen Naifeh state that the artist didn't actually commit suicide.No, they say: he was actually murdered. Please  SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts!Twitter / Facebook/ Instagram SPONSORS:The Great Courses PlusShout-out to Art and ObjectZola - get $50 off your registry and your free wedding websitePerfect Keto - use promo code "art" at checkout for 30% off sitewide  Learn more about your ad choices.
