It’s the final episode of season one!  Yes, after 35 weeks of non-stop art history content, I thought now would be the perfect time to round off season one is style - and I promise we are going out on a high! On today’s episode I sit down with artist and art historian Joanne Oatts to discuss one of Art History’s most iconic female artists - Georgia O’Keeffe! O’Keeffe is one of those artists who was all too quickly pigeon holed as a creative who solely painted flowers and that contained highly sexualised undertones. I am happy to report however she is far more than that! Thanks to an continued effort of art historians around the world, as well as a blockbuster exhibition at the Tate Modern in 2016 O’Keeffe’s outpour has been rightly reevaluated showing the artist in all her glory. Joanne a.k.a. Jo takes us on a whistle stop tour of some of O’Keeffe’s outpour and we discuss 5 works which highlight the varied creative developments of the artist’s life. O’Keeffe was an absolute powerhouse. Not only as an artist but as a woman and I can think of no better artists to round off season one of the Jo’s Art History Podcast with. Sit back and relax as Jo and I discuss the amazing Georgia O’Keeffe.

Welcome back to the Jo’s Art History Podcast! It’s episode 34 and the penultimate episode of season one and today, I have something really special for you all! As some of you may remember my second episode of the Jo’s Art history Podcast was all about The Barbican, the incredible brutalist social housing estate in London which people either love or love hate. If you have listened to the episode, you will know I love the barbican and everything it stands for, so I was beyond delighted when the brilliant Gaby and Howard who live in the Barbican got in touch to suggest an episode offering an insider’s view of living there! Which is exactly what this episode is! Gaby and Howard offer a unique inside look into living in an architectural experiment, the changing perception of the Barbican throughout their history of living there and how this amazing building has kicked started GreyScape, their online site which celebrates and discusses all things Brutalist architecture and the amazing ‘concrete community’ this has now formed over the last 4 years! This is a really special conversation where Gaby and Howard talk openly about the ever evolving opinion and interactions about the Barbican and how the city and it’s opinion of the estate has evolved, why Brutalist architecture gets a bad name and suggest why it is so important to look again at these buildings and what they tell us about the time periods in which they were built. Thank you so much to Gaby and Howard. It was a privilege. Enjoy everyone - this one is special.

Welcome back to the Jo’s Art History Podcast! It’s episode 33 and this week I discuss museums and galleries being open once again after a new lifting of restrictions in the UK. As a lover of art I was straight out the door and back in museums, but after reading in the paper there was still a large divide of people feeling comfortable in these spaces, I thought I would offer my thoughts and experience of how I have found being back in the art world since restrictions have lifted. I talk personal experiences in the art world, why I felt very safe in the museums I have visited and offer up a few tips and tricks for those who may not be comfortable being back in large institutions yet, but would still very much like to see some art. If you have any tips yourself, I would love you to share them!

Welcome back to the Jo’s Art History Podcast! It’s episode - and this week I sit down with the brilliant Graphic designer Tilly Haley to discuss one of the WORLDS (not just the UK’s) greatest designs! THE LONDON UNDERGROUND MAP! Although the London Underground opened in the 1860s and it probably worthy of a podcast episode it itself - it is the London Underground Tube Map which is taking centre stage today. Although it had several maps designs during its long duration of operation, the map we use today has been developed from an original design Harry (Henry) Beck. What is even more interesting is Beck was not a designer - but an engineer who worked for the underground and designed his map in his own time. Although originally knocked back as ‘too radical’, Beck persisted his design would revolutionise how people used the underground - and he wasn’t half spot on!! Tilly talks us through the design developments of the underground map before, during and after Beck’s time and we celebrate the legacy of this incredible man who single handedly It isn’t all sunshine and daisies here though - like any good story there are of course a few villains thrown it! This is a brilliant chat about one of the world’s most iconic maps, which really, isn’t a map at all! Intrigued?

Welcome back to the Jo’s Art History Podcast! It’s episode 31 and this week I sat down with contemporary artist Jeff Musser to discuss 3 incredible works by the ORIGINAL art world bad boy Caravaggio. Born in Milan in 1571 to humble beginnings, Caravaggio went onto ROCK the art world with his incredible handling of light, perception and people within his depictions. He is one of those artists whose work looks so real, you can almost feel the pain and ecstasy of the people he depicts in his works. Jeff talks to us about three lesser discussed works by Caravaggio which hold a significant importance to him. These are: The Crucifixion Of Saint Peter The Conversion Of Saint Paul The Madonna Of The Pilgrims Jeff’s passion and love for Caravaggio is immediately evident and my mind is still blown away at how brilliant this chat was. I would seriously recommend you look up the three works we talk about as no matter how much Jeff and I try and describe how amazing they are - it is not as good as getting a sense for them yourself. Sit back, relax and enjoy! This episode is something special!

Welcome back to the Jo’s Art History Podcast. It’s episode 30 and in today’s episode we are taking you online to look at a selection of Latin American artists and their response to making during the Covid-19 crisis with the help of my guest, curator and art historian, Gisselle Girón. Gisselle works between the UK and Peru and takes us on a whistle stop tour of 5 examples of Latin American Artists who have rejected the traditional display paths - such as museums and galleries in favour of online, virtual platforms. Gisselle speaks so beautifully and passionately about the importance of breaking down traditional viewing perceptions, why the internet is a tool to make art accessible and just how we can all become patrons to contemporary artists living and working today. It’s a long episode at 1 hour and a half but I was so in awe of Giselle who makes some really brilliant points throughout the episode it did not feel right to edit it down to 1 hour! Stick the kettle on, sit back and enjoy - it is a brilliant episode!

Well what an episode I have for you today!! Ever heard of Peggy Angus? I certainly hadn’t until the brilliant Clare Dales got in touch to tell me all about this incredible woman. Peggy Angus was a British designer, artist and educator born in 1904. Although born in Chile, her family relocated back to the UK when she was 5 and she grew up in Muswell Hill, London. At 17, she won a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art and studied alongside now world renowned artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Eric Ravilious and Edward Bawden; just to name drop a few. Peggy is best known for her love of pattern and design and spent a large part of her career making incredible patterned tile designs/murals for architectural projects around the UK as well as hand made wall paper. Let me repeat that. HAND-MADE wall paper. Within the cannon of art history, she has very much slipped into the shadows but thanks to an exhibition at the Tower Gallery in Eastbourne in the UK in 2014, more is known about this great artists. Clare takes us on a brilliant whistle stop tour of Peggy’s life and work and set the scene beautifully for allowing us to understand the challenges Peggy faced as an artist working after World War 1 and World War 2. You are going to love this - so sit back and relax as we discuss the INCREDIBLE Peggy Angus!

Welcome back to the Jo’s Art History Podcast  Today I sit down with art historian Bryony Large for a brilliant conversation discussing the changing representation of the female figure throughout art history and what is/was considered as ‘the ideal female form.’ This is a massive topic as you can imagine and Bryony has done an amazing job at selecting 4 corner stone works from within the Canon of Art History as a way of introducing this topic and to get you thinking about the changing perception of the female form. We discuss the male gaze in classical art history in Botticelli’s Birth of Venus and what is arguably believed to be the first painting ever that sees a woman own her sexuality,  Manet’s Olympia. We also discuss Jenny Saville, an artist who as Bryony so brilliantly puts it is ‘the destroyer of false fetishes’ as well as discussing the lack of representation of disabled bodies and why Marc Quinn’s Alison Lapper sculpture is so important to make you think and look again at not only what we do see, but what we do not see represented within art!

⭐ WELCOME BACK TO THE JO’S ART HISTORY PODCAST ⭐ It is good to be back with a fresh new episode after a week off! It’s Episode 27 and today, I sat down with artist, Brian Kielt, to discuss how different artists tackle the practise and concept of drawing. When Brian suggested talking about this, I had never really given much thought to the history and importance of drawing within art; but as you will see from our chat, where we take a deep dive into the works of FIVE artists, no two of approach drawing in the same way nor hold it in the same importance within their practise. From the sketchbooks of Leonardo  Di Vinci and the loose markings of Maggi Hambling, to the final work of Francis Bacon and erased masterpieces, Brian and I ask the questions: Is drawing important? When did collecting drawings become the norm in the art world? And… If an artist draws on a napkin - is it a work of art because it’s by the hand of an artist - or is it just a doodle? This was an excellent chat which really got me thinking about just how varied EVERYONE'S approach to drawing is. And that really - there is no right and wrong way of drawing - it's something that comes down to personal taste and practise. I’d love to know your thoughts so please do get in touch!

I've decided to give myself a wee Easter holiday this week and following on from International Women's month I have dipped into the podcast archive to revisit this brilliant episode all about Frida Kahlo with Rebecca Milford! To remind you: On today’s podcast Jo sits down with Rebecca Milford, founder of cosmic cures, about one of the 20th century’s most iconic figures - FRIDA KAHLO. Frida Kahlo is a larger than life icon in today’s society, but throughout her life suffered not only immense pain due to an accident which happened to the artist in her youth, but was known as the wife of the famous Mexican mural painter, Diego Rivera, only really began receiving recognition in the few years before her death. Known for her powerful self portraits Kahlo is now a force to be reckoned with in the history of art. Join Jo and Rebecca as they discuss Frida’s works, her rocky relationship with her husband Diego, the illnesses that plagued her and her love of life.

It’s episode 26 of Jo’s Art History Podcast! Well, I have an incredibly fascinating episode for you all this week! Today, I sit down with artist and perfumer of the people, Michael Borkowsky to talk about the history of perfume and WHY this is an art form in itself. From magical positions for everlasting youth to bottling the scent of the new modern day woman, Michael takes us on a whistle stop tour on the art of perfume through the ages. Only discovering and falling in love with the art and practise of making perfume few years ago, it has taken Michael on an incredible journey of history and alchemy which has now intertwined into his artistic practise. What is even more interesting though is perfume has always held an important place within different societies throughout the history of the world. This is an incredibly interesting chat with Michael and we also mention his absolutely brilliant series on youtube called ‘Plague for Plague Sake’ which you can find a link to in the show notes below! Michael has an incredibly interesting practise so please do check him out below: Guest: Michael Borkowsky Artist & Perfumer of the people!

She used flowers and herbs local to Egypt and combined them with water and solvents which were subsequently filtered. Her perfume making process and use of local materials has informed a facet of my own work, whereby I have made fragrances using Sheffield's river water in order to evoke a sense of place. As an aside, Egypt was also the country that founded the idea of the perfume bottle, which in itself is steeped in history.

As such, it's an example of how perfume was used as medicine. This provided me with inspiration to create a video series, entitled 'Plague for Plague's Sake', that sees me recreate some somewhat dubious historical plague cures by utilising the art of perfumery.

Chanel also believed she had something of an affinity with the number 5, which may have influenced her decision.

⭐ Welcome back to the Jo’s Art History Podcast! ⭐ It’s episode 25 and I thought I would try something a little different today. I sit down with regular podcast guest Nicole McLaughlin aka, Nico Paws, to talk about how each of us ended up finding our way into the arts. Although Nicole and I are sisters and we would definitely class ourselves as creatives, our paths into study and work COULD NOT BE more different. Nicole and I ask each other 5 questions about our education, why we picked the subjects we did, why we like art, what we wish we knew and any advice for anyone going forward into the working world or thinking of studying an arts based subject. When I was studying, I would of found something like this really helpful. Just to see that the road into education is not always a straight line and that feeling intimidated or not good enough is part of the experience and something everyone goes through. Furthermore, I would of found it great to know that  learning  to overcome these feelings is also an important part of the journey! I hope you enjoy!

Welcome Back!! This week on the Jo’s Art History podcast I sit down with Leeds based visual artist and art world professional Lauren Harrison to discuss the idea of art as a full immersive experience. Well, first of all, what do we mean by saying ‘a full immersive experience'; as this is not a phrase really associated with art and the art world. Well - it should be and there are plenty of artists out there creating incredible works which soul success lie in audience interaction and participation. Lauren talks us through three such examples of ‘art as a full immersive experience’ and we debate the pros and cons of the art world fully embracing the digital age. This is an incredible chat which really will get you thinking. So sit back and relax as Lauren and I discuss, Art as an Immersive Experience.
