What do a comment made on the Great British Bake-Off, a 1970's television interview with southern author, Eudora Welty, and a Michigan Mer-man have in common? Glad you asked! They all explore ideas of monstrousness, the topic of this episode -- specifically channeling our inner monstrous creative selves to create work that is rich, bold, memorable and unique.
[Evil laugh of Nosferatu]
Come along with me on my search for aspirational creative monstrosity.

Book Talks is back! And so is artist, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen, to help me tackle the OG creativity self help book: "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. We gave ourselves over body and soul to The Way for 12 weeks and lived to tell the tale...in two parts. Please join us as we share our experiences with the book (and some sprinkled-in context gleaned from Cameron's autobiography "Floor Sample").
Today in Part 1, we discuss:
1. Each of our favorite sections/quotes
2. The most challenging parts of doing the book (morning pages, tasks, artist's dates, the chapter readings
3. How “good” were we at doing all TAW parts?
4. The God Question. Is there too much God talk in there?
5. Personal revelations about our work or ourselves that came from doing the book
And don't miss the second part of our convo (Part 2-Ep 63) out now!

This episode is all about a fascinating British TV art reality show that I once gleefully watched completely pirated, through the kindness of Cherzo, a modern day Robin Reddit-Hood. You can check out the show: "Portrait Artist of the Year" on Amazon, if you are so intrigued!
Artists mentioned: Alice Neel, Frederick Hayes, and Tai Shan Schierenberg (Judge for the show).

Artist, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen, is back with me for another Book Talks episode! In this episode, we are reading Giorgio Vasari's "Lives of the Artists," published 1550/1568 which profiles famous High Renaissance, mostly Florentine artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Boticcelli, and a few lesser-knowns. We were so excited about the book that we ran deliciously long and decided to cut it up and make it a two-parter.
In Part 1, we cover Vasari's takes on Giotto, Masaccio, Piero Della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Fra Filippo Lippi, and Madonna Properzia de Rossi (the only woman in the book, and who was even left out of Mandy's earlier English translation!) Part 2 is coming right up - please keep an eye out.
Shout out to artist and writer, Elisabeth Nicula, who we quoted in the episode, and to the books that helped form Vasari's masterwork: "The Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio and "The Life of Brunelleschi." Also, a tip of the cap to the Virgin's Holy Girdle of Prato, shown to the public only 4 times a year: https://irenebrination.typepad.com/irenebrination_notes_on_a/2017/07/girdle-cintola-prato.html (Really, no one can out-weird the Catholics)
The book is available widely, both used and new! We recommend a skim, not a binge.

We're baaacckk! Mandolyn Wilson Rosen and I have returned for Part 2 to finish our report on Giorgio Vasari's "Lives of the Artists," a combo-bio of Florentine High Renaissance artists from the 1580's. Pull up a carved high-backed chair, grab yourself a goblet of watered-down wine and join us for the continuation of our journey back to this fabled time in Italian art.
In Part 2, we cover Sandro Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Jacopo da Pontormo, Michelangelo, and Titian (with some discussion of Albrecht Durer as well). In the Boticelli section, Mandy references this article by Alexxa Gotthardt on Artsy: https://www.artsy.net/article/artsy-editorial-botticellis-birth-venus-challenged-depictions-nude-art
Please visit our sponsor, The New York Studio School, to enroll for their wonderful Marathon courses (by Sept 8) or for over a dozen different 11 week Evening & Weekend Courses (by Sept 18) at NYSS.org
Find your own copy of "Lives of the Artists" by Giorgio Vasari at your public library or at most online bookstores. The 1991 English Translation by Julia and Peter Bondanella includes the lone woman artist in Vasari: Sculptor Madonna Properzia de Rossi. Earlier translations often exclude her, so keep an eye out if buying used!

Today I make the case that artists have a lot in common with stand-up comedians. Comics give excellent pep talks and advice to each other about staying the creative course and weathering career setbacks and I think we can benefit from eavesdropping on some of their road-honed wisdom.
Thank you to this episode's sponsor, The New York Studio School, for their support. Please check out their Fall MFA and Certificate Programs at nyss.org
Comedians quoted in the episode: Justine Marino, Caitlin Peluffo, Dan Bubitz/Art of Bombing Podcast, Janeane Garofalo, Maria Bamford, Todd Barry, Emma Tattenbaum-Fine, Paul F. Tompkins, Kyle Kinane, Beth Lapides, Joel Byars/Hot Breath Podcast, Johnny Carson,

The new definition of painterly success just might be having Elisabeth Condon describe your painting. It's truly that satisfying. Elisabeth is back on the pod to describe a painting, and it's a fascinating one: "Untitled" 1968-69 from the Edge Painting series by Sam Francis. Come along as Elisabeth takes us not only through the painting itself, but also through Sam Francis' life and influences: namely that of his beloved Japan. The concept of "ma" or the potential of emptiness, Asian ink painting, and Francis' unique anti-New York gentle lyricism all factor in to make this talk a riveting deep dive into this Californian-born, second-generation Abstract Expressionist artist.

Join me this week as I welcome esteemed Choreographer, Julia Gleich! Julia, with Jason Andrew, is the co-founder of Norte Maar in Brooklyn and co-produces a collaborative ballet series every year called CounterPointe. This year marked the exciting 10th anniversary of the project. The series features 7 dances created through intense collaboration between 7 women choreographers and 7 women visual artists. Visual artists participate the entire way through the process and even create props for the performance.
As a dance newbie, I asked her many questions about using the rectangle of the stage, the types of props she uses, how she picks the music, and even her thoughts on ballet and the patriarchy. We found so many parallels between dance and visual art, like the importance of courting chaos, breaking out of what's expected, and the importance of putting your head down and making the work no matter what.

This episode is a Mini! A little jalapeno popper for your ears and also a little nudge about putting ourselves out there more, being louder and taking up more space. Don't forget that the world needs our voices. You'll also learn more than you ever wanted about an obscure squishy baseball-type sport (played only in New Orleans and Chicago), which is adorably called "cabbage ball." Thanks for listening!
