Episode 36: Johannes Vermeer & Dale Chihuly

Hey Hey Hey Friends, Foes, Formaldehyde it's us. We are slow. At making this podcast but aren't we cute when we just post it on up outta nowhere? Skippers you should move along to about 25 mins in so you don't get irrationally angry about how long we take to get to the good stuff. And good it is my people. Neysa kicks us off with some short and sweet details about one sick bruh, Johannes Vermeer a guy from Delft, Netherlands who painted his home town a grand total of 36 times. You know Delft? The hottest place around. After this Jocelyn gets into the controversial contemporary glass artist Dale Chihuly. You like chandeliers? Because ho boy do we got some chandeliers for you. Tune in to hear us discuss these home boys and as always head to our insta for some reference pics from the episode. Live, Laugh, Lobotomy. ~ Jocelyn & Neysa

Episode 34: David Huggins & John Singer Sargent

Episode 34: David Huggins & John Singer Sargent

Oh you know what time it IS! You want art history? We have some poorly delivered information for yah. Skip ahead to 23 minutes in for us to get to the first artist of this 1.5 hours episode, David Huggins! A man who painted his over 30+ years of experience as an alien stud. Things get wild, so buckle up. We move on to Neysa's boring old white man, John Singer Sargent a turn of the century portrait artist. Cool paintings, boring life though. Sprinkled into this episode the tangents abound and fair warning we can't help but follow the rabbit. What we really need the people to answer is do you remember Twinkies being banana flavored?

Episode 32: Dina Cimarusti & Auguste Rodin

Episode 32: Dina Cimarusti & Auguste Rodin

New Year, same podcast hosts! Neysa and Jocelyn are back for another unpredictably dropped treat for your earwax holes. At the top of the hour the girls spill the tea with some sordid tales of broken library elevators that Jocelyn had to chew her way out of (not really... but it could happen). Then Neysa gives us a juicy personal life update about her new beau, ooh lala. Moving into the artists of the hour Jocelyn gives us a quick rundown of one of her favorite shows that they should definitely bring back, Face Off and her favorite contestant from the show, SFX artist and cake decorator Dina Cimarusti! Neysa follows up with another dead old white man that is celebrated in art history for no apparent reason. The so called "father of modern sculpture" Auguste Rodin. A grandiose, loud-mouthed cheater who may or may not have stolen his lovers artworks. Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! and big thank you's to everyone who listened to us babble in 2022 and actually garnered some enjoyment from it. You're the best ya'll! *Rodin not Renoir

Episode 31: Alex Katz and The Dumfries House Forgeries Scandal

Episode 31: Alex Katz and The Dumfries House Forgeries Scandal

Hello again! In this feast for your senses Jocelyn tells us all about her American artist Alex Katz and his totally not boring and highly admired works that Neysa definitely loves. Buckle your pants an extra notch for the interruptions in this tidbit. For her tale Neysa does an international scandal involving famous American forger Tony Tetro, James Stunt (former son-in-law of English billionaire Bernie Ecclestone) and one and only now King Charles III. As you know us two ladies LOVE a good scandal. As always leave a review on the gram @iminoredinarthistorypod on Apple, or Spotify. We kept it light on the personal tea for this one (I'm thinking of you 4.5 star reviewer). Happy Listening!

Episode 30 Part 1: Propaganda Art with Mike

Episode 30 Part 1: Propaganda Art with Mike

Back again for our July episode! This time with a special guest; introducing Jocelyn's bf, Mike! After sharing some intimate details most of us would have chosen not to hear (except not us because we're freaks amirite) we dive right into the topic of the hour, propaganda art. Mike takes us all the way through from the overall concept to historical effects of propaganda in World War 1 and World War 2. (Instagram took down the nazi propaganda pics lol) Lots of laughs abound in this delightful part 1 to our 30 episode special. Head on over to part 2 where Jocelyn and Neysa take off on a plethora of tangents. Hold onto your hats!

Episode 30 Part 2: Color Theory & Abortion Paintings of Paula Rego

Episode 30 Part 2: Color Theory & Abortion Paintings of Paula Rego

It's hot, hot for Episode 30. Mike hangs out staring lovingly at his beau as she gives us an informative rundown of color theory and how to properly use shade and tints. Also do babies know colors? And should they learn different ones? It's all here for you folks. Neysa is still raging steady about abortion rights as we all should. She touches on Paula Rego -arguably one of the few artists that accurately captures the turmoil of  pregnant people as they prepare for their abortion in a back alley clinic. If you or someone you know needs an abortion in a restricted state please go to www.abortionfinder.org.

Episode 29: Weird Art "The Hands Resist Him" & Ana Mendieta

Episode 29: Weird Art "The Hands Resist Him" & Ana Mendieta

We're late, again! Our lives are busy busy but we have another delicious episode for your ear holes full of our voices. Jocelyn brings it with a very odd and obscure tale of the painting "The Hands Resist Him" and it's quirky history on the internet. Neysa gives us a feminist icon, although she never wanted to be, Ana Mendieta. Jocelyn reveals a wonderful personal life twist that you probably weren't expecting, meanwhile trouble brews with Neysa and a certain roommate. We love all your support for the pod and apologize sincerely for slacking. As always we'd love a follow on Instagram and please check out our linktree in our bio AND whether you love us, hate us, feel ambivalent about us send us tips, artists/art history to do, a strange deep meme you have no one else to share with... We love it!

Episode 28: Kano Eitoku & Franz Kafka

Episode 28: Kano Eitoku & Franz Kafka

It's been over a month! Did you miss us? In this episode Neysa gives us a stunning definitely non white guilt related telling of a Japanese screen painter from the 16th century Kano Eitoku, this dude was a screen making L E G E N D. Jocelyn brings us back around to a PTSD inducing name we all remember Franz Kafka in all of his buggy glory. It's not our usual since he's a writer but hey we didn't specify that art history was limited to the multi-media arts did we? We might've - but who cares! We do what we want! We also talk about our personal lives obvi, some information on Neysa's dental journey, baby shower tales and how roommates work. As always give us a shout in the comments, the DM's whatever and wherever. Let us know you love the pod, what artists you want to see or even if you despise us! As always, thanks for listening.

Episode 27: Janet Fish & The Art of the Gilded Age

Episode 27: Janet Fish & The Art of the Gilded Age

This episode Jocelyn takes you into the wonderful and hyper-realistic? world of Janet Fish which she picked for her own very super special, super serious reasons. Taking it back to the turn of the century, the 20th century that is, Neysa gives you a grounding history lesson surrounding the time period known as The Gilded Age with a sprinkle of information on how this affected artists of the time. Never ones to disappoint they wrap the episode with a perfect slice of dating escapades and a rant about how to talk to yourself when you're on a terrible date with an average dude. In case you weren't aware find us on Instagram at Iminoredinarthistorypod and DM us some requests for artists or a spicy complaint we love it all! Enjoy!

Welcome back and happy listening to Season 2 of I Minored in Art History! In this episode Neysa kicks us off with a heavy hitter, Americana darling, Norman Rockwell.

Episode 13: Carrie, Frank Frazetta

We had to do a little re-recordin' on this episode so please excuse the dingus (Jocelyn) for not paying attention! 

We're talkin' about portrait painter Carrie Smith (formerly Kilgore) (hey girl, hey!) (1991 - current) and fantasy/comic artist Frank Frazetta (1928 - 2010).

>>My info on Carrie is a bit outdated now, she's no longer in St. Pete full time but we'll talk about that more in a later episode.

Sixto The Chihuahua joins us for a chat about the purple guy from Chuck E Cheese and other goofy shit, like my friend BRUSHY!

Check out Carrie's insta and the Frazetta Girls!
