  • ArtMuse ArtTalks: Host Grace Anna Interviews NYT Best Selling Author B.A. Shapiro

    B.A. Shapiro's The Lost Masterpiece can be preordered on Amazon HERE.

    Berthe Morisot was a female Impressionist painter active in Paris during the second half of the 19th century. She exhibited her work alongside famed Impressionist artists Monet, Degas, and Renoir, among others, and was the only woman to be included in the first major show of Impressionist art in 1874. Despite the many limitations she faced as a female artist of her time, Morisot established herself as an integral member of the Impressionist group. She also modeled for a number of paintings by Manet, and though she was married to his brother, many believe that Manet and Morisot were engaged in a long-run secret affair.

    B.A. Shapiro is a New York Times best selling author. In 2013, she was awarded the New England Book Award for Fiction for her novel, The Art Forger. Over her impressive career as an author, she has written both novels and screenplays, as well as a non-fiction self help book.

  • Bonus Episode: Meet Host Grace Anna and Editor Erin Greenhouse

    As we close season two, host Grace Anna wants to give a special thanks:

    Many thanks to Erin Greenhouse, who pours her heart into mixing the episodes with such mastery, and choosing the perfect music to accompany the stories. Her production company, Kula, is phenomenal, and if there are any other podcasters listening that are looking for help with production, I cannot recommend her enough. I also want to thank her assistant, Hannah Jocelyn, who has not only helped with vocal edits but created original music for our episodes on Edie Sedgwick. I’d like to thank my dear friend Roxanne Quilty for making the ArtMuse logos, and my wonderful family, husband, and dog for always supporting me. And most of all, I want to thank you, my listeners, for your continued encouragement and support. It has been such a pleasure hearing from so many of you, and we always encourage listeners to be in touch with thoughts, reactions, and suggestions through our website and Instagram.

    We are working hard on the production of Season Three of ArtMuse, which will share the stories of artist’s muses and models who were also performers in their own right. In the meantime, we will be sharing some more exciting bonus episodes between seasons, and will share updates on season three in the coming weeks.

    If you enjoyed Season Two of ArtMuse, we would be immensely grateful if you took the time to write us a review on Apple Podcasts, or rate us on Spotify. Each and every one of these reviews help get ArtMuse out into the world. Please also be sure to follow us on all streaming platforms and on Instagram @artmusepodcast, so that you are the first to know about exciting updates and upcoming episodes.

  • Madame Juliette Récamier Part One
    Her portrait by David is one of the most iconic paintings in the Louvre’s entire collection, and attracts millions of viewers each year. As she reclines on her sofa, a sofa she popularized so much that it now bears her name, she teases us with her curly hair, rosy cheeks, and inscrutable smile. Though her image has been reproduced in countless mediums across the globe, few know that she was one of the most remarkable women of the nineteenth century, and inspired the greatest artists, writers, intellects, and politicians of her day, with not only her unrivaled beauty but with the goodness of her heart.
    In this episode of ArtMuse, we share the immense life story of Madame Juliette Récamier, a French socialite and famed beauty, affectionately dubbed the “darling of Europe”. In fact, her looks were so enchanting, that she drove some of the most powerful men of all of history wild with desire, including Napoleon Bonaparte, his brother Lucien, and the Prince of Prussia.

About ArtMuse

From the publisher's feed

ArtMuse is a podcast that shares the life stories of the women pictured in famous works of art. In doing so, host Grace Anna aims to reshape the ways in which we interpret these well-known works, by paying dues to the women whose images have been immortalized but whose names and stories have been wrongfully overlooked. Each episode focuses our attention on a specific female muse, sharing their important life and legacy.
