    A Smartphone’s Place in Art History

    What happens when the blue glow of a smartphone screen takes center stage in a painting? In this episode, we dive into Sally J. Han’s A Call—a strikingly modern take on solitude, tradition, and technology. From the dramatic light of Caravaggio to the cold illumination of our screens, we explore how light shapes meaning in art. Why does a smartphone’s glow feel so eerie? And what did people hold as closely as we hold our phones today?  Take a look at A Call and read an interview with the artist here: https://artaufeminin.fr/articles/ten-questions-to-sallyjhan-painter/ Buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/onemanmuseum Sounds used: Rain on Windows, Interior, A.wav by InspectorJ -- https://freesound.org/s/346642/ -- License: Attribution 4.0  Phone call outgoing by elliott.klein -- https://freesound.org/s/591163/ -- License: Creative Commons 0 Moving Light.mp3 by jamalboi101 -- https://freesound.org/s/86310/ -- License: Attribution 3.0 Cinema_screen.wav by jcmunera1 -- https://freesound.org/s/559247/ -- License: Creative Commons 0

    Before The Kiss: Klimt’s Early Work

    Ever wonder what sparked Gustav Klimt's genius? Come with me on One Man Museum as we step back to 1885, before the glitter of The Kiss. We'll discover three paintings hidden in Rijeka, in Teatro Comunale, where young Klimt first poured his heart onto the canvas. Through Saint Cecilia, the tragic Orpheus and Eurydice, and the passionate Mark Antony and Cleopatra, these rarely-seen treasures show us a master in the making.
