Albrecht Dürer | Adam and Eve
Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) was a pivotal figure in the Northern Renaissance, renowned for his mastery of painting, printmaking, and art theory. Born in Nuremberg, Germany, Dürer's early training as a goldsmith and painter laid the foundation for his innovative techniques in woodcut and engraving, exemplified by his famous Apocalypse series and the meticulously crafted Adam and Eve. His travels to Italy exposed him to classical ideals and Renaissance innovations, which he integrated into his unique style. As the court painter to Emperor Maximilian I, Dürer's influence extended throughout Europe, solidifying his legacy as a true Renaissance man and a master of art.

The Salon des Refusés
In mid-19th century Paris, the prestigious Paris Salon, sanctioned by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, reigned as the art world's epicenter, acting as the primary gateway to artistic success. By 1863, mounting rejections ignited public outcry, compelling Emperor Napoleon III to establish the groundbreaking Salon des Refusés. This exhibition, held at the Palais de l'Industrie, showcased rejected artists like Manet, Cézanne, and Pissarro, with Manet's "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe" causing particular scandal. Despite harsh critical reception, the Salon des Refusés became a pivotal moment, exposing the Académie's rigidity, fostering modern art's rise, and demonstrating a public appetite for unconventional art, ultimately paving the way for future artistic revolutions like Impressionism, and cementing its legacy as a symbol of artistic freedom.

Artist Interview | Pierre Benjamin
I recently had the pleasure to interview Pierre Benjamin, UK-based artist with years of experience specializing in 3D character and concept art, illustration, painting, and sculpture. His artistic journey began in childhood, deeply influenced by his photographer father and his grandfather, figurative painter Gérard Calvet. Formal training included sculpting under Serge Destarac, art history at the Louvre Museum, and a BA and MA in games and animation from the University of South Wales, where he now lectures.

Mondrian, Neoplasticism and the Upside Down Artwork
Piet Mondrian is considered an icon of modern art, but he didn't start off that way. While he always loved art, he got his degree in education. Mondrian's early paintings were somewhat traditional landscapes. He experimented with Impressionist and Post Impressionist styles, then moved on to some Cubist influence. His major breakthrough was with the De Stijl movement focusing on the basic elements of art using straight lines and primary colored rectangles. Mondrian was one of the most prominent theorists of the group as he developed a style he referred to as Neoplasticism. Arts Madness 2025 Season 11 is all about my Arts Madness Tournament.

Edward Hopper | Nighthawks
The brilliance of Edward Hopper is that he was able to be simultaneously specific and concrete yet vague and leave a lot up to the viewer to interpret. In a painting like Nighthawks we see people gathered in a diner, but as viewers we are stuck on the outside looking in. We feel isolated and apart from the scene and as we look closer, we discover that the people inside the diner are isolated themselves. It is not a group of four inside the space but rather a collection of four individuals. My guest for this episode was Julie Averbach, the founder of smARTee, a non-profit that helps people feel connected and continue their lifelong learning via free virtual museum tours. She is also the author of the upcoming book, The Art of Trader Joe's (https://theartoftraderjoes.com) which helps readers appreciate the subtle brilliance of the grocery chain. Buy the book on Amazon or at your local bookstore. Arts Madness 2025 Season 11 is all about my Arts Madness Tournament.
