Venice and Florence were powerful city states during the time of the Italian Renaissance. Venice was a port city which meant that all the exotic wonders of the world could be found there. This lead to experimentation with color that other European cities couldn't come anywhere near to emulating. Color was such a huge part of Venice that people created whole businesses that involved the making and developing of pigments and dyes. It is no wonder that Venetian art was known for its "colorito" approach.<br />
<br />
Colortio was the Venetian approach to painting using lots of color and conveying extreme drama.<br />

In Florence, the city probably most well known for Renaissance art, draftsmanship, line and figural accuracy (disegno) were taken very seriously. The use of light, just like in Venice, was very important but took on a much different quality.<br />

This week Jo and Alisha will delve into the world of fashion for the first time on Arts & Facts and talk about Christian Dior.<br />
<br />
Dior was born in Granville, France in January 1905. His father wanted his son to go into politics but Christian was interested in the arts. He opened a successful art gallery with a business partner which closed during the Great Depression.<br />
<br />
During World War II, one of Christian's sisters fought in the Resistance and was eventually caught and sent to a concentration camp. She was eventually released and Christian created his first perfume in her honor, <i>Miss Dior</i>.<br />

<br />
While Paris was occupied during WWII Christian got a lot of experience in fashion design creating clothes for Nazi officers and their wives. Not the most glamorous way to become a fashion designer, but he did learn a lot.<br />
<br />
The House of Dior was founded December 16, 1946. His first collection was shown in 1947.<br />

In 1955 Yves Saint Laurent, who was only nineteen at that time, came to work with Dior. He apparently made a huge impression because two years later Dior told Saint Laurent's mother he had chosen her son to succeed him. This was rather bizarre at the time because Dior was only 52 years old, and showed no signs of ill health. Later that year on October 24, 1957, Dior suffered a fatal heart attack.<br />

These four goals are: </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dharma (righteous living), </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Artha (wealth earned through the pursuit of a profession), Kama (human and sexual love), Moksha (spiritual salvation). </span></div>

When a viewer understands these goals they will better understand the many sensuous and seemingly secular themes that can be found on the walls of Indian temples.</span></div>

Parts of Hinduism can be traced to the sacred literature of the Aryans called the Vedas, which are sacred Sanskrit hymns of praise dedicated to the gods. Other parts of Hinduism came from faith in the power of the mother goddess, a belief prevalent among indigenous peoples. How Hinduism is understood in the present day emerged at about the beginning of the Christian era.</span></span></div>

If two arms is good, six arms is great. Demons are often depicted with many heads, this is done to indicate their supreme power. When deities are shown with more than one head this is generally an attempt to show the different aspects of their character. For example, if you see the god Shiva portrayed with three heads, the head in the center is his “essential” character while the other two heads could depict his fierce and blissful characteristics. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fairy painting started in Victorian England and is uniquely British. It was heavily influenced by Shakespeare, especially <i>Midsummer's Night Dream</i> and <i>The Tempest </i>but was also influenced by books such as <span style="font-style: italic; line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Faerie Queene </span><span style="line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">by Edmund Spenser and </span><span style="font-style: italic; line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Rape of the Lock</span><span style="line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> by Alexander Pope. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cultural issues, the difficulties of the Industrial Revolution, poverty and the fast changes in society were overwhelming for the general populous. People found their happy place in Fairy Paintings. </span></span><br />

He was very interested in fragmentation and taking things apart, to use objects in a way that they were not typically used.</span></div>

Making good blue dye was difficult. For centuries plants were most commonly used to create blue dyes, plants like woad and indigo were popular in Europe and Asia. The arrival of lapis lazuli in Venice changed everything.</span></span></div>

This week we have a special guest, our very own Courtney Davis, who is an Assistant Professor of Art History here at UVU. Courtney has been our special guest a couple of times now so she's a pro at this podcasting thing and it was lots of fun having her back, especially to talk about the subject of David.<br />

Jacques-Louis David was quite a character. Not only was he a talented artist but he was also a political revolutionary who was very luck to have survived the French Revolution with his head still attached!<br />
<br />
David was born in Paris in 1748 and died exiled in Brussels in 1825. His father was a prosperous textile merchant who was killed in a dual when David was only ten years old, leaving him to be raised by his uncles.<br />
He studied the classics and drawing and was apprenticed to <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Joseph-Marie Vien who was a history painter. </span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At the age of 18 David entered the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. After four failed attempts to win the Prix de Rome he finally won in 1774 with his painting, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Antiochus and Stratonice</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Prix de Rome sent David to Italy where he studied Poussin and Caravaggio. He was very taken with Caravaggio's use of light and shadow, but his style is more classical like Poussin. It was also in Italy where he became interested in neoclassicism, a style that he would make popular in France. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">While in Italy David visited Pompeii and </span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">Herculaneum as well as the Doric Temples at </span><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;">Paestum which greatly influenced his art.</span><br />

<i style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oath of the Horatii</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"> was painted while David was in Rome, it is said to be inspired by the play </span><i style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Horace</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">, but there is actually nothing in the painting related to the play at all. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">The use of rich yet somber colors, bare cubic space, clear lighting and linear perspective are the epitome of David's neoclassical style. </span><br />

David is known for his historical paintings but his bread and butter was portraiture. This charming portrait of renowned French scientist Monsieur de Lavoisier and his wife is an excellent example of David's talent. You will have to listen to the podcast to get Courtney's full run down on this lovely painting, but I must say Monsieur de Lavoisier turns a fine ankle. :)<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Napoleon was an ambitious young general who decided he wanted to be Emperor of France. This painting depicts the moment when Napoleon crowns his wife Josephine. The story goes that Napoleon brought the Pope from Italy to crown him Emperor, but as the Pope is placing the crown upon Napoleon's head, he takes it from the Pope and crowns himself. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This painting shows the transition between old France and new France. You can see the blue and gold of the monarchy and the red and yellow of Napoleon as well as the old symbol of the fleur de lis and Napoleon's symbol of the honeybee. All the people to the left of Napoleon are his supports, all the people to the right are the Catholic clergy. David also added Napoleon's mother into the painting, she hadn't been at the coronation. </span><br />

This is our 100th episode! It is an exciting milestone for us and we want to thank all of our listeners for sharing this journey with us! We also want to thank all of our alumni whose work in the podcast over the years we treasure! We have included messages from some of them in this episode. We miss you Marie, Kenna, Mary, Megan, Chloe, Zach, and Lauren!<br />
<br />
In this episode we each chose an example of our most favorite and our least favorite artists or pieces of art and had a bit of a smackdown! As we discuss art together, we often find that we have such differing opinions. Yet none of them are wrong because there is no universally agreed upon example of "best" or "worst" art. What we gain from our debates is a better understanding and greater appreciation for artists and their creations. <br />

Happy St. Patrick's Day one and all! This episode focuses on the rich history of Irish and Celtic art. You may not know this, but there is more to Celtic art than just the color green, leprechauns, and the four leaf clover. Irish and Celtic art is full of intricate patterns and symbols. Its' art tells many wonderful stories and is beautiful in its own unique way.<br />
<br />
There are four main identifiable patterns in Insular Art: Spiral, Key, interlace and knot work, and zoomorhic images. You will see these designs in almost all Celtic and Irish art especially in the High Crosses, and Book of Kells. <br />

The Book of Kells is perhaps one of the most celebrated books in all of history. It contains hundreds of full-page illuminations which are often painted with gold. It is essentially a book of illustrations. This particular page from the book is the opening page to the gospel of Saint Matthew. It is the initial letters of Christ's name in Greek. This page literally reads: "Now this is how the birth of Christ came about."<br />

<span style="color: #333333; line-height: 1.4em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Probably as far back as written history artists have exiled from their homeland for being subversive, political activists, out spoken or just a little bit to much of a free spirit. Some artists have fled their homeland due to death threats while others, like David, were officially exiled by their government. War is another reason artists have left their homes, like Walter Gropius who left Germany and moved to the US to teach at Harvard University. </span></span></div>

<br />
This was an especially fun episode to record because it was a listener request! We are so happy that it was requested because the more we learned about Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the more we fell in love with his art and personality.<br />
<br />
Friedensreich Hundertwasser was born in 1928 and raised in Vienna, Austria. His birth name was Friedrich Stowasser but at the age of 21 he changed it to what we see now. He studied in a Montessori school but his real learning and passion came from nature.<br />
<br />
Hundertwasser used the term Transautomatism to define his art style. This style is a kind of surrealism. The viewer is the prime focus to the art and it is all about how they interpret it. Hundertwasser was completely against straight lines and referred to them as 'godless and immoral'. He believed in being connected with nature and this concept was apparent in all of his works.<br />
<br />
<b>Painting</b>: Color was his main focus in his paintings. He loved placing complimentary colors next to one another. He had two main categories for painting one was representing animalistic nature and vegetation and the other was the repetitive use of architectural symbols: houses, windows, gables and fences.<br />

Snow White was the very first Disney Princess created in 1937 and was the epitome of innocence. I wonder if they knew then how long this <i>magical </i>kiss would live on, and how many incarnations it would have in pop culture.</div>

<div>
These kissing coppers are located in Brighton, England on an exterior wall of the Prince Albert Pub. After vandals many attempts to deface the image the owner decided to sell it, for it's own protection (sure). In 2008 an art restoration company used chemicals to transfer the image from the pub wall onto canvas. You can still visit the Brighton pub to see a replica of the original, which has been covered by plastic to protect it from further attempts to deface it (as seen in the image above).</div>

<div>
Maritte's eerie interpretation of a kiss isn't an image soon forgotten. While kisses are supposed to be intimate touches the fabric over the lovers faces prevents them from actually touching. This can be interpreted in a couple of ways, the first is that as much as we might love someone we can never really know them fully, and the second is that perhaps the use of the fabric is a way to represent longing that can never be fulfilled. Either way Maritte's <i>Lovers </i>leaves a lasting impression.</div>

<div>
The Kiss by Picasso is the last in a series of three, the other two being a sketch and a black and white image. There isn't a whole lot of information available on this piece but we think it's fair to say that if you didn't already know it was a Picasso you could easily tell at first glance. In this painting the woman seems to be much more engaged in the kiss than the man. </div>

<div>
Canova's sculpture of Psyche and Cupid was just recently mentioned in our Classical Revivals episode, but it's so beautiful it deserves more attention. If you don't know the story behind this myth you can read more about it <a href="http://musee.louvre.fr/oal/psyche/psyche_acc_en.html" target="_blank">here</a> at the Louvre's website. The twisting forms in this sculpture make it very interesting to view, keeping the eyes moving until they stop at Cupids lips. A very romantic piece to be sure.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This image was taken in 2011 during the Stanley Cup Riot in Vancouver, Canada. The riot broke out after the <span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup against the Vancouver Canucks (never mess with Canada's hockey!). Businesses were looted, cars were set a flame and 140 people were injured. In the middle of all this we see a couple laying in the street kissing. Some people thought it was staged, but the photographer who captured this image says it wasn't. In fact, the woman in the picture had been knocked down by riot police and her boyfriend was kissing her in an effort to calm her down. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rodin's, <i>The Kiss</i>, is known as one of the most romantic sculptures of all time. It's a natural number one for us here at Arts and Facts. The story behind this piece is from Dante's Inferno and involves two adulterous lovers who end up murdered by the woman's husband. </span><br />

(But you didn’t)”<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="30" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/Episode093AbstractExpressionism" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Abstract Expressionism is an art movement that developed after World War II in the United States and is considered the first American art movement to become an international art movement. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 1.15; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">According the Oxford University Press, Abstract Expressionism is, “</span><span style="background-color: white; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">interpreted as an especially ‘American’ style because of its attention to the physical immediacy of paint; it has also been seen as a continuation of the Romantic tradition of the Sublime". </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.15; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During this time, in the 1940's and 1950's, science and psychology are changing. Quantum Mechanics and psychoanalysis begin to change people's perceptions of the world. How a person feels is important, and this is something that is very evident in Abstract Expressionism.</span></span><br />

For our holiday episode this year we all got together to talk about our favorite Winter Wonderland scenes and the artists who created them! This was a lot of fun to record, we hope you enjoy. (Listen all the way to the end to hear our impromptu rendition of Jingle Bells.)<br />
<br />
We will be taking a break from recording and posting for the rest of December, but we will be back with a new episode on January 8th! If you are just lost without us, try catching up on missed episodes or listen to your favorites again!<br />

both sensual and alluring yet classical and innocent. Both aspects are achieved
in this piece.</span></div>

was commissioned by the Medici family who were great patrons of the arts during
which this was painted. Many different interpretations can be made of this
piece, some say it is a sort of wedding painting, plato argued that there is a
great link between physical and spiritual beauty within this piece. Here Venus
is portrayed as an Italian Renaissance ideal: red-haired, pale-skinned,
voluptuous. Botticelli has picked out highlights in her hair with gold leaf and
has emphasized the femininity of her body (long neck, curviness). very
classical looking, standing in contrapposto</span></div>
