Rosa Bonheur is the original feminist, lesbian, butch, farmcore, horse girl and we must all praise her. She grew up worshiping socialist jesus. She was openly married to her childhood sweetheart, Nathalie. She tricked the police into letting her wear pants. She chain smoked. She hunted. And painted horses with anime eyes. Rosa did it all in the goddamn 1880s and every person on the planet needs to know about her. Her bombastic life literally blew our brains out and it will probably fuck you up for a few days.

Juan may be an enigma but one thing we know is true: he's a stone cold fox, baby!

Have you ever thought you were going to a house and ended up in an endless horror maze cooked up by a mad man boy child? Well that's what happened to us when we showed up at The House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Imagine a dust maze full of forged Faberge eggs, baroque music machines, sea monsters, and haunted doll bathrooms. It may be the door to the God world but we just call it a crusty old fever dream that everyone needs to see.

The only original Praxiteles sculpture might just be in Cleveland, Ohio. Or it might be a 19th century lawn gnome. We may never know. And Cleveland certainly isn't telling us. Welcome to our newest episode of twists, turns, art dealing conspiracies, and a nightmarish 4 day old god. It's a good fun time, we swear.

Have you ever seen a big big mirror bean and thought, this is the center of a giant art battle between good and evil? Well it is! "Cloud Gate" (2006), otherwise known as The Bean, was created by a big angry baby who doesn't know how to share and the art world will not let that slide. Let's jump into this years long feud between artists which has created colors, destroyed apartments, and compelled Guy Fieri to cook the art.

This is it. Perhaps the best art? At the very least, it's better than Degas. "The Child's Bath" (1893) by Mary Cassatt is the art that convinced baby Danni to be an artist. Get ready for some in depth discussions about being a powerful, perfect, best, feminist, impressionist artist who puts all her whiny boy contemporaries to shame.

"American Gothic" (1930). You know this painting. You've seen this painting. It's got memes, it's got parodies, it's got everything. And it's just a boring portrait of two farmers! Right....? No way! Why would we talk about it if it was boring!? In this episode, Brandi takes us on a journey to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and explains why this painting made a woman want to bite the artist's ear off.

Max Beckmann just can't catch a break! Becoming a medic in WWI, a bunch of nazis calling his art trash, getting exiled from home, being forced to deal with the US visa system! It would drive anyone to madness. Which is why Danni is here to talk all about his "Self-Portrait" (1950) at the St. Louis Art Museum! Let's delve into Max's broken brain and the dumb dumb way he did die.
