Steven Seidenberg is an incredible photographer and in this episode, I spoke with Steven Seidenberg and the writer, Carolyn White about a little-known bit of history in Post World War 2 Italy. His latest book The Architecture of Silence: Abandoned Lives of the Italian South documents the ruins of a failed policy that gave impoverished people a bit of land and housing without the infrastructure needed to sustain a community. The companion book Distant Voices: on Steven Seidenberg's Architecture of Silence is a collection of essays that help put it all into perspective with relevant historical context.Find Steven Seidenberg:ww.stevenseidenberg.comLinks to buy the books:https://www.amazon.com/Architecture-Silence-Abandoned-Italian-South/dp/8869658902/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1YOGKULHMU1C6&keywords=architecture+of+silence&qid=1687919169&s=books&sprefix=architecture+of+silence%2Cstripbooks%2C217&sr=1-3https://www.amazon.com/DISTANT-VOICES-Seidenbergs-ARCHITECTURE-SILENCE/dp/8869658961/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32C3234K86US5&keywords=distant+voices+carolyn+white&qid=1687919234&s=books&sprefix=distant+voices+carolyn+whit%2Cstripbooks%2C144&sr=1-1And a link to a recent piece on his work in Rome, documenting a migrant tent city that was destroyed in 2018.https://placesjournal.org/article/baobab-tent-city-in-rome/Check out my other podcast Art Smart | Rainbow Puppy Science LabWho ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

Claes Oldenburg (1929-2022), the Swedish-born American sculptor, wasn't your typical artist. He wasn't interested in grand figures or historical scenes. Instead, he found inspiration in the most unexpected places: the everyday objects that cluttered our lives. His art, a blend of Pop Art and gigantic whimsy, continues to transform cityscapes around the world.Related Episodes:Andy WarholRoy LichtensteinYayoi KusamaCheck out my other podcasts Art Smart | Rainbow Puppy Science LabWho ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) stands as a titan in the realm of Japanese woodblock prints of the ukiyo-e period. His tranquil landscapes, meticulously detailed cityscapes, and captivating depictions of flora and fauna continue to resonate with viewers centuries after their creation. Hiroshige's life, however, was far from a serene stroll through the picturesque scenes he immortalized. Born into a humble background and navigating a rapidly changing artistic landscape, Hiroshige's artistic journey mirrored the dynamism of his era.Related episodes:Who ARTed | Katsushika HokusaiArt Smart | Ukiyo-eCheck out my other podcasts Art Smart | Rainbow Puppy Science LabWho ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

Peter Paul Rubens wasn't your typical 17th-century artist. He produced magnificent Baroque masterpieces, his canvases overflowing with vibrant colors and dynamic figures. While Baroque art was known for its high drama, in this case, the real life of the artist may have been even more intriguing. Rubens was not only a highly skilled artist, he was also a shrewd diplomat and a cunning spy, a man who navigated the treacherous world of European politics with as much finesse as he wielded his paintbrush.Arts Madness 2024 links: The Brackets Spotify Playlist Vote in the Current Round Check out my other podcasts Art Smart | Rainbow Puppy Science LabWho ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

Betty Woodman was an artist who started as a conventional potter but through her career began making creative connections that elevated the form. She built off traditional plates, bowls, vases etc. adding bold colors, and twisting the forms into something that was more about the artist's creative vision than a functional object. Betty Woodman expanded people's notions of what ceramics could be.Arts Madness 2024 links: The Brackets Spotify Playlist Vote in the Current Round As I mentioned in the intro for this episode, I have been thrilled to begin writing articles for The Art of Education University's magazine.

Piet Mondrian is considered an icon of modern art, but he didn't start off that way. While he always loved art, he got his degree in education. Mondrian's early paintings were somewhat traditional landscapes. He experimented with Impressionist and Post Impressionist styles, then moved on to some Cubist influence. His major breakthrough was with the De Stijl movement focusing on the basic elements of art using straight lines and primary colored rectangles. Mondrian was one of the most prominent theorists of the group as he developed a style he referred to as Neoplasticism.While I have covered Mondrian previously, I wanted to release this episode today to celebrate the publication of my first article for The Art of Education University.
