Casagemas ruins a dinner party and everybody deals with the fallout. We travel around a bit, then settle
in Le Bateau-Lavoir, which comes fully-equipped with a Fabian. It sounds like a great building, unless
you’re German or a little girl.

Get to know Picasso’s first great love, Fernande Olivier. You sit tight Fernande, the doors lock from the
outside and Picasso forgot to make spares. Let’s explore the Blue Period and then escape with a little help
from the poppy! And don’t worry, when times get tough, Manolo’s got it covered.

The guys explore killing two birds with one lightening strike, having a monstruo in your pantalones, and
devastating news for Tio Salvador’s plan. Join us at Els Quatre Gats and talk about art-gang turf battles,
intra-Spanish racism, and of course, more about gypsy prostitutes.

We also meet Carlos Casagemas, who makes it weird almost immediately. Put on your Steve Harvey-
style suits and get ready! Manoloooooo!!!!

In the inaugural episode of the Picasso: Origin Story, we meet Picasso's parents.  We also analyze what’s in a name (it's oddly important to this story), being useless at 38, a banana-centric business model, pigeon art (the classy kind), and the weird birth of a future legend.

We do talk about art history.  But, if we're being completely honest, we talk more about prostitutes than art.

Also, Mike takes a swipe at St. Louis, Detroit, and the entire state of Alabama for some reason, while Mitch has a clear preference for the majestic bull over cats. Olé!

Welcome to ArtHoles!  An art history podcast with someone who knows nothing about art history.  Or podcasting, for that matter. 

Coming from absolutely no background in art or art history, I decided to reverse the course on my own ignorance.  Instead of doing so in moderation, I'm reading a ton of books and articles about each artist and slowly losing my mind in the process.

My buddy Mitch joins me for the first few episodes, then it's just me (Michael) putting artists' personal lives under a microscope to learn about art and art history by weaving in my own takes, ADD-driven side research, music, movies, etc.

This isn't your grandmother's art history podcast.  And, if your grandmother has an art history podcast, 1) I'm happy she's still with us and 2) maybe we can collaborate in her dining room filled with her Hummel figurine collection and old WWII pictures of your likely-deceased grandfather. 

In the inaugural episode of ArtHoles, we explore what’s in a name, being useless at 38, a banana-centric business, pigeon art (the classy kind), and the weird birth of a future legend.
