If you've ever felt old and uncool as an artist (like I have, and often), then this episode is for you. I set about to get hard data about when the artists that we revere in museums created their most admired works. What I uncovered will simultaneously astound and soothe you. 

Texts mentioned in this episode were:

"Late Bloomers" by Rich Karlgaard

"Old Masters and Young Geniuses" by David Galenson

"A Letter from Mark Rothko and Adolph Gottlieb to the Art Editor of the New York Times" June 7, 1943

Also mentioned: "Slideshow at Free University" by Le Tigre
