Yes, that Pablo Picasso. The very one.
In our first episode back since our wedding we are talking about the recent theft of a piece of public art. We also get into Romulus and Remus, Mussolini, fascism, and Cincinnatus. It's a lot of Roman talk on this week's episode!
This month we are joined for the second time by our friend, Kelly. This one goes off the rails a bit and then we take a weirdly deep dive into a Thomas Kinkade painting.
In this episode we talk about Prada Marfa, a fake Prada store a couple of Scandanavian guys built in the west Texas desert.
It's a short and sweet one this week. We talk about Utah's most famous piece of art: Spiral Jetty, which you can go see in the Great Salt Lake any time.
This week we talk about David Lynch. You probably know him from the 90s cult tv show Twin Peaks, as well as from films like Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive, but did you know he is also a prolific painter and sculptor? In this episode you'll also learn a thing or two about Bob's Big Boy. Enjoy!
How far can conceptual art go? Remember that guy who sold the invisible sculpture? Yep, we're talking about the invisible sculpture guy. We also talk about DuChamp, Rothko, John Cage, and, of course ... Thomas Kinkade.
You may not know the name Cassius Marcellus Coolidge, but you've definitely seen his most famous paintings: A Friend in Need and Poker Game, more famously known simply as Dogs Playing Poker. Here we talk a little about A Friend in Need, kitsch, and an opera about a mosquito! Email us at

What does it mean when the President of the United States retires to become a painter? Can you separate the artist from their work? Should we even want to separate the artist from their art? To discuss these questions and more we invited our friend Kelly, a political insider, to help us think about how to think about famous painter, George W. Bush.
