☠️¡We are back with a little follow-up to our La Catrina episode from a couple of years back!☠️
A little refresher: La Catrina is THE iconic calavera (skull) brought to us by Mexican printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada (d.1913) in the early 20th century. He is best known for his penny papers or broad sides featuring political and satirical skeletal figures of the day.
She is basically a memento mori representing what we will all become one day and thus her image has remained iconic in the hearts of many and inspired countless artists for over a century ❤️🔥
In this episode, we visit the new museum (Museo Posada de Coyoacán) dedicated to Jose Guadalupe Posada’s work in Mexico City located in the back of a rare and used book store: books in the front, prints in the back!
We also discuss a couple of prints we saw: “Choque de un eléctrico con un carro fúnebre” and “La gran calavera eléctrica”.
It’s not often we can see Posada’s prints in person in the US so it was super exciting to see SO many up close in one amazing space!
Topics include big-ass murals by big asses, avoiding park police, is Tim McGraw 💀 yet?, Boney Robbins, and Posada’s prediction on AI!!

MAKE ART HUMAN AGAIN TSHIRT ➫ https://artslicepod-shop.fourthwall.com/collections/all
Joining us is Jack Shoulder — historian, educator, and co-author of Museum Bums — to spill the tea on his new book Museum Hotties or Hotties in Art (depending on which side of the pond you’re on). Yes, that's really what it's called.
And this time around it's not just bums (though, you know, they're in there). We're talking artists, muses, myths, and masterpieces that have been turning heads for literal centuries.
Museum Hotties features some old faves like David Hockney’s “Peter Getting Out of Nick’s Pool” (1966), Paul Cadmus’ “Jerry” (1931), Giovanni Battista Moroni’s “The Tailor” (c.1575) — plus new ones we didn't see coming, like Sylvia Sleigh’s “Paul Rosano Reclining” (1974) and Beryl Cook’s “Ladies’ Night” (1981).
Tune in to hear why the works still in Hotties absolutely still hit today, and how we – unexpectedly – ended up interrogating our own gazes (we call it “interro-gazing”)!
Topics include Olly Mur’s viral transformation, what is a cuddly bod?, sexy Jesuses getting sexier (not a good thing!), working men aura, neon nipple visibility, the throuple PaJaMa Collective, uncovering queer art history and so much more!

WeReee bAcK ~~~ diving into not one but TWO monumental works by TWO monumental artists—Hieronymus Bosch's enigmatic triptych "The Garden of Earthly Delights" (1490-1510) and Keith Haring's stunning and heartbreaking final work "Altarpiece / The Life of Christ" (1990).
Believe it or not, there are parallels between these two artists who lived nearly half a millennia apart, they touch on remarkably similar themes about our experience as, you know - humans —albeit with completely different conclusions.

In Part 1, we cover:
The mysterious Hieronymus Bosch — born, lived, and died in 's-Hertogenbosch, a Catholic hub in the Netherlands. Records of his life are so scant he's become one of art history's most fascinating figures which has led to some speculation that he was part of a clandestine religious nudist colony, the Adamites.
We touch on his early work "Adoration of the Magi" (c.1475) featuring an unusual teal blue palette and some unexpectedly hilarious details (including an angel getting its wings stuck in a tower!).
We introduce Keith Haring's artist journey beginning from his small hometown of Kutztown, PA, his "Jesus Freak" teen years and how The Free Hollywood Newspaper left a lasting impression, and finally onto NYC's flourishing art scene of the 1980s. In the subways, he would crank out an estimated 10,000 subway drawings between 1980-1985 and it's also where he would first encounter his future collaborator Angel Ortiz’s graffiti work.
All of this is happening during the beginning of the Reagan era which was fueled by Southern Conservatives backlash to increasing LGBTQ+ visibility, the rise of "Christian" televangelists, and the growing, deathly AIDS crisis.
In Part 2, we will focus on the works themselves so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it!!

Hello Ear Buddies
We should be releasing Hieronymus Bosch X Keith Haring later this week (fingers crossed) - until then please enjoy this special feed drop:
When Alice Gregory and Leon Neyfakh started building a library for their infant daughter, they stumbled across a name in an obituary that Alice recognized from her own childhood: celebrated children’s book author and illustrator Petra Mathers. Petra had died by suicide alongside her husband, Michael Mathers. Both were in their late 70s, seemingly happy and healthy.
The details of Petra and Michael’s deaths pulled Alice and Leon down a rabbit hole that neither were expecting—a plan many years in the making, dozens of letters mailed out across the country, friends and family caught between betrayal and envy, and a community grappling with their own feelings around aging and death.

Listeners, today we are FINALLY diving into Leonora Carrington’s epic mural “The Magical World of the Maya” or “El mundo mágico de los mayas” made with casein, tempera on panel 1963-64.
Picking up from Part 1, we rejoin LC after several visits to Chiapas to observe and learn from the Tzoztil, Teztil and Lacandon in Chiapas, reading and studying the Popol Vuh, she begins incorporating her own experience.
Among the places she visited in Chiapas that appear in the mural are the cemetery in Romerillo, with its giant, majestic blue-green crosses; the syncretistic church of San Juan Chamula, and the former monastery of Santo Domingo in San Cristobal de las Casas.
We get deep into how our Hyena Queen was so expertly able to weave together all of these influences using her unique painting technique made of those iconic tiny brushmarks and washy layers to depict all of these Mayan gods and mythical creatures.
We also discuss important events that occurred during and soon after the completion of the mural including the sudden death of Remedios Varo and Jose Horna, the beginning of Mexico’s Dirty War inspiring LC’s political works “Leptidoptera” (1968), “Operation Wednesday” (1969) and the poster for the women’s feminist movement in Mexico, “Mujeres Conciencia” (1972).
Topics include: Turtle-Earthers, so much corn (not KoЯn), Carl(os) Sagán, Chac’s tamales, kiterangs, animorphing goddesses, sacred hummingbirds, jungle love stew, Mayan crosses, Xibalba orgies, and so much more!

WEEE’’’RREEE BAAACCCKKKK!!!!
VIDEO VERSION HERE: https://youtu.be/4Rx_f27XNlg
Today we are revisiting our fav Hyena Queen LEONORA CARRINGTON: this time covering her epic mural “The Magical World of the Maya” or “El mundo mágico de los mayas” from casein, tempera on panel 1963-64.
This 14ft x 7ft beaut of a work features a slice of Mayan life including the sky, earth and underworld all filled with mysterious scenes, cosmological events, and mythical creatures - brought to us through Leonora’s lens using those tiny brushmarks and washy layers.
We first covered her work, the small 1945 painting “The House Opposite” in our Las Tres Witches episodes featuring her witchy besties Surrealist artists Remedios Varo and Kati Horna and we left off as she settled into her new home in Mexico City.
Through Kati Horna, LC would meet and fall in love with and marries also newly immigrated Hungarian photographer and concentration camp survivor, Emerico “Chiki” Weisz. She captures this new era in her 1944 painting “Chiki Your Country”, an autobiographical, fantastical and wonderfully weird landscape - a work that foreshadows her approach to the Mayan mural.
Fast forward 20 yearish later: it’s 1963, Surrealism has faded and LC is part of a new generation of artists called the Breakaway Generation (Generación de la Ruptura) for breaking away from Muralism. And she landed a commission to paint “The Magical World of the Maya” for the grand opening of the National Museum of Anthropology in Chapultepec Park.
To prepare, LC found herself embarking on a wild ride (literally and figuratively) to meet with the Maya of Chiapas including the Tzoztil, Teztil and Lacandon.
Her guide to Chiapas would be the badass Swiss, machete-wielding, combat boot-wearing land activist and indigenous advocate Gertrude “Trudi” Blom.
Along with getting to experience the unique wildlife and landscapes Chiapas had to offer, Trudy introduced LC to curanderos (shamans) and was able to observe secret rituals that most don’t, especially foreigners.
Back in her home in Colonia Roma in Mexico City, she took her research studying the Kʼicheʼ (Quicheʼ) Maya Popoh Vu and combined it with her experience with the Chiapas Maya, and some Northern Renaissance inspiration like Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Hieronymus Bosch, resulting in this stunning timeless mural.
“The Magical World of the Maya” has been on our minds since those Las Tres Witches days and in 2024, we decided to finally see it for ourselves in Mexico City! Words cannot describe what it was like to experience it in person but hopefully this episode might be a close second!
So, join us as we explore how this mural came to be!
Topics include: Was Waldo in Bosch’s ear? Guardian Chihuahuas in Roma, Henry Kissinger goes woke, early 2000s Hot Topic tees, and so much more!

Miguel aka El Chamaco, is the other half of that Mexican artist power couple, not named Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera, from our last episode with Rosa Rolanda: https://youtu.be/w-CVdxpnwBc
Some may know him from his Harlem Renaissance series, his Broadway set designs, his groundbreaking book on Bali, or even his covers for Vanity Fair and/or The New Yorker.
You Texans may know his monumental 1954 glass mosaic mural, "Genesis, the Gift of Life," outside of the Dallas Museum of Art where Miguel reinterprets the story of genesis through a Mesoamerican and Native-American symbols and mythologies.
Miguel’s work touched on so many subjects; traveling to so many continents, really observing and getting to know the people, their culture and surrounding environments.
His groundbreaking archaeological research was revered, his caricatured cultural icons duked it out in his “Impossible Interviews” series, he painted massive murals that highlight all of the people, flora, and fauna that make up our home planet, always blending humor, science, and a real love for everything that makes us human.
Like Rosa Rolanda’s work, it’s unbelievable that his work still feels so contemporary despite being made almost a century ago.
Topics Include: Tomax and Xamot at Costco, Anthony Bourdain blowing up the 90s glam culinary scene, Cracking your teacher’s skull, Palacio de Cultura Banamex, Harlem Renaissance, Impossible interviews, Animal bucket lists, Empanadas with tentacles

We are back, we are wide-eyed, almost Bratz Dolls eyed (!) and South of the Border 🇲🇽
This time diving into the work of Rosa Rolanda, who metamorphosis-ized 🦋 from a famous Broadway dancer into a Surrealist late in life.
Full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-CVdxpnwBc
Along the way she crossed paths with figures like Man Ray. It's likely she even learned the photogram process from him, which she then made uniquely her own. Her photograms feel like intimate journal doodles crossed with the raw energy of punk zines from the early '90s.
She also met her soon-to-be partner and collaborator, the Mexican artist Miguel Covarrubias—also known as 'El Chamaco.'
Together, they became Mexico's first artistic power couple, predating even Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Their groundbreaking work, the book "Island of Bali," was the first comprehensive account of Balinese culture for the Western world, detailing its art, music, dance, and rituals.
But it's her paintings that have this incredible, haunting feeling of anemoia—a nostalgia for a time you've never known. This gives them a distinct '90s or early 2000s vibe. On the surface, they seem simple and illustrative, but on a second, third, or even fourth look, you start to peel back all these incredible visual and narrative layers."

LISTENERS we’re back with maybe a little glimmer of hope?
“Impossible” you say! Eye Rolls you do!
But after our conversation with Jennifer Dasal of the ArtCurious podcast, we had to ask ourselves, could a historical sanctuary for artists offer a vision for today's creators?
You can WATCH this episode here: https://youtu.be/H42eI7V1eek
In her new book, The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Époque Paris," Dasal uncovers the story of The American Girls Club of Paris. This remarkable institution provided hundreds of expatriate American women artists with housing, tea gardens, libraries, and—most importantly—dedicated studio and exhibition space.
Far from home and full of ambition, artists like Florence Lundberg, Anne Goldthwaite, Alice Morgan Wright, and Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller found refuge and community in this unique "u-topia" (or as we like to call it, a "YOU-topia").
Building Your Modern Creative Community
With resources for artists often scarce, the story of The Club is more vital than ever. It reminds us of the importance of nurturing our creative practices and finding ways to support each other.
Whether it's a physical space or a dedicated online community, we must be generous with our time and energy to foster collective creativity. This episode explores how to carve out these personal utopias, drawing parallels to diverse examples like Mexican chinampas (floating gardens), Kristin Ghodsee’s "Everyday Utopia," and… the…. 00s UK rap group The Streets.

When the dazzling German actress Maria Lani arrived in Paris in the late 1920s, her presence set the art world abuzz. She quickly recruited over fifty artists—including Pierre Bonnard, Jean Cocteau, Marc Chagall, André Derain, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso (he said no), Man Ray, Georges-Henri Rouault, Fernand Léger, and Suzanne Valadon—to depict her in paintings, photographs, and sculptures for an upcoming film.
There was just one problem: "Maria Lani" was a construct. She wasn’t a famous actress—she wasn’t even "Maria Lani." So what did she plan to do with all these artworks?

When Maria Lani disappeared along with the pieces, rumors spread that she had stolen the works and sold them to unsuspecting collectors in the United States. Was this the art heist of the century? Or was something else going on?
We sit down with Author and Illustrator - Jonathan Lackman and Zachary J. Pinson - to uncover the truth—and discuss The Woman with Fifty Faces, a stunning new graphic novel from Fantagraphics that explores the enigmatic life of this maligned figure.

VIDEO VERSION: https://youtu.be/0_9up1-1b2U
Mary Cassatt, known for her paintings of women and babies (then and now), made a surprising move to accept a mural commission for the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893.
This gig was a big deal, especially if you were a younger artist- it could be a career-making move. But when Mary, decades into her own art career, first received the invitation . . .
well, here’s what she had to say:
“When the committee offered it to me to do, at first I was horrified, but gradually I began to think it would be great fun to do something I had never done before and as the bare idea of such a thing put (Cassatt's best frenemy) Degas into a rage and he did not spare every criticism he could think of, I got my spirit up and said I would not give up the idea for anything.”
So . . . maybe a little spite inspired this mural?
Spite and...a surprising reimagining of the story of Eve.
Unfortunately, this mural has been lost to the sands of time...and we're (maybe, foolishly) diving in with the only surviving grainy black and white photos to guide us.

You can find Ericka’s book, “Thanks to Life” on her website: www.erickaverba.com as well as more Violeta Parra resources.
Violeta’s artistic journey has many parallels to Frida Kahlo’s: both artists began painting while bedridden; drew from their personal experience with the folk arts of their country, Frida in Mexico and Violeta in Chile.
They both lived and worked during a time when their respective countries were at a crossroads and made it their mission to capture the folk culture of their countries:
Frida with a paint brush and Violeta through song, poem, painting and arpilleras (embroidery).
And while most of us have only heard of Frida Kahlo, both artists achieved international fame in their lifetime and their legacies continue to this day.
Violeta Parra became the first Latin American artist (period) to have a solo exhibition at the Louvre in Paris in 1964 at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs.
And more recently, her arpilleras were featured in the 2022 Venice Biennale “Milk of Dreams” which also featured some Art Slice favorites like Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo and Dorothea Tanning, to name a few.
While she was putting her own twist on this traditional folk medium during her lifetime, arpilleras took on a much different meaning under the brutal, US-backed Pinochet dictatorship several years (1973-1990) after her sudden death (suicide) in 1967:
They became a protest symbol and tool of resistance against the regime for Chilean women, as well as a way for them to grieve their disappeared loved ones.
But before arpilleras, Violeta had become internationally known for her music. When she began her artistic career, she started with painting.
Her paintings explore deep emotions and personal experiences. The planes of color and vague interiors really mind us of Richard Diebenkorn and Florine Stettheimer.

We’re back with the 2nd dose of our CREATURE DOUBLE FEATURE series, featuring the mysterious 1944 lithograph “Whodunit?” by artist, illustrator, printmaker and children’s book author: Wanda Gág!
We also discuss her work bringing German fairy tale energy to children’s literature in “Millions of Cats” from 1928.
In this episode, we discover Wanda Gag’s life lesson through her winding, warping, wonky, and wobbling images of interiors and landscapes.
Wanda was raised in a Bohemian community of German immigrants in New Ulm, Minnesota, in a house built and designed from scratch in the Queen Anne style by her artist father, Anton Gag.
Wanda’s story really is that of a modern fairytale involving a magical childhood, German Märchen, creative energy, (unfortunately) tragedy, and a coming of age lesson we can all glean from: life is what you make it and despite the forces telling you otherwise, it CAN be full of whimsy and creativity.
Her struggle as a young artist doing commercial work to stay afloat while attending the Art Students League in NYC NYC reminded us a lot of Dorothea Tanning’s story - finding yourself working odd jobs like ‘lamp shading’ for Wanda or serving canapes to men in suits dressed in hula skirt like Dorothea.
The grind is part of being an artist, or really most of us, in the modern world and we found Wanda’s story not only relatable but extremely relevant to our times.
As we learned more about her ethos and way of working, we found that she and Charles Burchfield, another Art Slice fav (ep 12) have SO MUCH in common: their works come from hours of observation of their subjects, beit the mundane indoors or sublime outdoors, and their results complement one another, yin and yang, if you will.
Topics include Howard, non-euclidian fun, Russell’s version of “Kiss the Girl”, dog stables, bedazzled witch boots, and grey soup.

In celebration of our new 2025 Creature Double Feature episodes, we went back to the vault and added VISUALS to our Creature Feature episode with Japanese printmaker Hokusai (1760-1849) and Celtic Spook School alum Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh (1864-1933) and their terrifying contributions to spooky art history.
Both works were inspired by female protagonists who were WRONGED: one from ancient Japanese folklore and the other via the imagination of a fascist Italian playwright.

We are back with another edition of our CREATURE DOUBLE FEATURE where we discuss TWO different artworks by TWO different artists and compare what makes them so terrifying!
Usually, we are able to squeeze them into one episode but not this time!
And we kick off our 2025 CDF edition with illustrator, painter, and stained glasser Harry Clarke (1889-1931).
Harry hailed from Dublin, Ireland and grew up during the Celtic Revival.
Harry was just as popular for his book illustrations during the Golden Age of gift-books as well as his other-wordly religious stained glass in churches.
While his masterpiece is the Geneva Window, a breathtaking example of Harry’s skill and mastery of stained glass, we will be focusing on an illustration from the book of Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allen Poe (1919, 1923).
Yes, horror-ific Edgar. Allan.Poe.
The work in question is that of “King Pest” from 1919, a story about two drunken sailors bumbling about a 19th century plague-stricken London.
Sounds chill but the combo of grim and gory Poe plus Harry’s scary talent of visualizing such tales will give you the heebie-jeebies (not all speaking from experience 👀).
Click PLAY if you dare and get ready to be HARRY-FIED!
Topics include E-Girl socks, El Chavo del Ocho, island getaways, pampooties, Derry Girls, Guinness, TB vaccines and much, much more!

Listeners, we are excited to share a very special interview with Orna Tsultem, curator and art historian of Mongolian art, where we dive into the origins of Mongol Zurag, the art of resistance.
We cover A LOT of images in this one so we highly recommend watching when you have the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QchXwHybmfk&ab_channel=ArtSlicePod
You can also follow along here: https://www.artslicepod.com/episodes/mongol-zurag-art-of-resistance
In this episode, we discuss the origins of Mongol Zurag which began as benign secular painting, which was a significant change from the traditional Buddhist thangka paintings.
After Mongolia became a Soviet satellite state, Mongol Zurag, slowly but surely, became the voice of resistance from Mongolian artists looking to rediscover their cultural heritage.
The Mongol Zurag style continues today and the Mongolian artists’ message which most of us can relate to in the year 2025 living under neo-liberalism and capital greed.

To watch ➬ mosey on over here ➬ : https://youtu.be/3H3ittr_RNY
We present a very special bonus interview with Emily A. Beeny, Chief Curator at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco about the Mary Cassatt At Work exhibition.
Since her day, Mary Cassatt (1844-1926) has been known for her paintings of bébés and upper class women but there’s another layer - a radical one - that has been overlooked until now.
Join us as we discuss how this new exhibition explores the idea of labor surrounding Cassatt’s studio practice as well as her radical subject matter: the bébés being cared for by, more often than not, nannies, nurse-maids, governesses etc.
Our conversation with Emily revolves around Cassatt's “A Goodnight Hug” a pastel from 1880.
Topics include the artist as laborer, shedding light on domestic work, her and Cassatt’s involvement in women’s suffrage in the US.
The exhibition closes January 26th, 2025 - don’t miss it!!

This time getting lost in the weird and wonderful world of painter, photographer and printmaker Yasuo Kuniyoshi’s early works (Part 1) that feature wonky landscapes populated by dream logic, lumpy babies, curvaceous women, angular farm animals, and Japanese folk tales as well as American folk influences.
Yas’ early works became an amalgamation of his lifelong journey of self-identity, expertly blending sentimental past memories, like that of Japanese folktale Momotaro, with present feelings of fear and isolation due to the growing racism and tension he was experiencing on the daily.
As an Asian American immigrant, and like many other Nikkei, Yas found himself trapped somewhere in the middle - considered neither Japanese nor American enough - as relations between the US and Japan escalated.
We discuss “Little Joe with Cow” 1923, “Bad Dream” 1924, and “Self-Portrait as Golf Player” 1927.
Topics include shedding your husk, Weezer dance-a-thons, dual cup-holder LaZ boys, censoring comics and mermaids . . . and so much more!!

and diving into the origins of La Catrina, the quintessential skelicon of Day of the Dead. Over the past 100ish years, her image has transcended borders, becoming synonymous with sugar skulls, Frida Kahlo, the Virgin of Guadalupe and even Santa Muerte.
From her first incarnation by Mexican printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada in 1910 as “Calavera Garbancera” (Chick-Pea Calavera) print, all the way back to early depictions of (and actual) skulls found in Aztec and Mayan tzompantli; Her rediscovery and re-imagining by the Mexican Muralists in the early 20th century, even making a cameo in the larger than life mural by Diego Rivera in 1947 “Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central” or “A Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park” and finally, the continuing rise of La Catrina’s visage in the present day.
We also discuss Europe’s Memento Mori moment in Hans Holbein the Younger’s “The Ambassadors” from 1533 as well as Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos influence on Posada’s “Calavera de los Patinadores” or “Street-cleaning Calavera” from c.1900 and “Calavera Oaxaqueña” or “The Oaxacan Calavera” c.1910.
Topics include renegade saints, is Tim McCraw dead?, hybrid deities, Franceyness, psychedelic skulls, really just lots and lots and lots of skulls . . .

For its SEVENTH installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies brings you the extra-spectral, enigmatic (and sometimes controversial) PURPLE - and we have artist, illustrator, animator and (duncle) Caldwell Tanner of Not Another DnD Podcast (NaddPod), Drawfee, Big City Greens - on deck to help sort it out.

We get into all of this - discussing purple’s history - its ancient lineage beginning often laborious flora origins, its unwavering sense of mystery and wonder yet it’s reincarnation into pop cultural characters - as well as it's characteristics, and your color associations!
Key moments include: Grimace (original), Qin Shi Huang, world wide mollusk milking, purple kimonos, Klasky Csupo, Cleopatra, Grimace (current day), colorful Giallo horror flicks, Harry Clarke, Lois Dodd, and what kind of pants robots could wear...

We are so excited to share a new series from our Canadian podcast friends Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North
A series about a group of artists known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI) or as they were dubbed by the press: the Indigenous Group of Seven.
This was significant because the most famous Euro-Canadian painters then were known as the Group of Seven which put respect on their name - especially for Indigenous artists who were still thought of as less than their white counterparts as well as their work being seen more as anthropology than art…
The PNIAI artists include:

We dig into the 1940’s - where Surrealism is having its day in Hollywood… ultimately leading to a painting competition between Ivan Albright, Eugene Berman, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini (sort of), Osvaldo Louis Guglielmi, Horace Pippin, Abraham Rattner, Stanley Spencer, and Dorothea Tanning…to be featured in full on technicolor in the film The Private Affairs of Bel Ami.
And there are rules… they must create THEIR version of The Temptation of Saint Anthony…who had already been depicted in various states of getting his ass kicked by monster demons by non other than Stefano di Giovanni, Master of the Osservanza, Martin Schongauer, Michelangelo, and Hieronymus Bosch… no big deal.

Through a scientific breakthrough in the early 19th century, cobalt blue would become the steadfast true blue pigment missing on the painter’s palette, leading artists like Eugene Delacroix, Edouard Manet, Vincent Van Gogh and Richard Diebenkorn to use cobalt in their varied and expressive visions.
And lastly, we also dig into our associations with COBALT BLUE - which ranged from ocean hues, expansive skies, otherworldliness, happiness or even fresh crispness - all through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.
