Summary

For most Americans, there’s a list of arts that they might be able to rattle off if pressed to name them off the top of their heads. Picasso. Michelangelo. Leonardo da Vinci. Name recognition does go a long way, but such lists also highlight what many of us don’t know-- a huge treasure trove of talented artists from decades or centuries past that might not be household names, but still have created incredible additions to the story of art. It’s not a surprise that many of these individuals represent the more diverse side of things, too-- women, people of color, different spheres of the social or sexual spectrum. This season on the ArtCurious podcast, we’re covering the coolest artists you don’t know. This week: Katsushika Ōi. Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts!

0:33.5	Art Curious, stories of the unexpected, slightly odd Slightly Odd, and Strangely Wonderful in Art History
0:39.0	is a brand new book with lots of weird and wildly entertaining stories that haven't been
0:43.7	covered on this podcast. Stories like the rise of everybody's favorite painter of the pretty,
0:48.9	Claude Monet, and how all those water lilies and haystacks were actually subversive badassery. How some late
0:55.3	19th and early 20th century women may possibly be the first abstract artists. And what

1:45.2	art that is not always in my wheelhouse. During my days, I focus on contemporary art with what I hope
1:51.2	is a wide and global emphasis. But as many of you know, my training wasn't originally so broad.
