Brendan Heard, head of Aureus Press and operator of @Trad_West_Art on twitter joins me to discuss his book "The Decline of Western Art," a comprehensive art history book that covers everything from ancient greece up until the present day. It is *the* premier introduction to western art that you could read, and he is unforgiving to "abstract impressionists" and "art speak." This episode itself serves as a fantastic introduction to art history, art criticism, and the plight of both the artist and the enjoyer of art in the digital age.
