In this episode of Jo’s Art History Podcast, Jo McLaughlin is thrilled to welcome back to the podcast art historian, writer and comedian Verity Babbs, who is here to talk to me about her brand-new book, The History of Art (In One Sentence).

The book’s synopsis is as follows:

What’s so special about Dutch paintings of cheese? When does Art Nouveau become Art Deco? Why were the Pre-Raphaelites obsessed with gingers? Who thought it was a good idea to put a big dead shark on display? In this book, comedian and art historian Verity Babbs journeys through 50 key art movements across history, answering 10 questions for each in just one sentence. Within these fascinating, and sometimes hilarious, nuggets of art wisdom, Verity covers everything from who inspired the movement and its impact on history, to the key artists and artworks for each. Spanning 500 years – from the Renaissance to the Young British Artists – this wonderfully illustrated book is for anyone who wants to learn more about art and also have a little giggle along the way.
