Each episode, Allyson Healey tackles a single work of art and its history and larger significance, always asking the question: so what? Art History for All takes you beyond the art historical canon and helps you find the way in which art speaks to you (even if it's never spoken to you before).

Customer Reviews
Thought-provocative and interesting!
I do not have a background in art but the information, stories, and insights make this one of my favorite podcasts! So excellent!
Love it!
Thanks so much for an amazing podcast! If you can do some on some episodes on artists like Picasso, Monet, Manet, Dali, Van Gogh (I know those are all randomly placed artists but some of my favourites), I would really appreciate it! Love the way you speak and don’t just focus on the art but the story behind the artist and the story behind the actual work. Absolutely amazing, thank you!
By Tamara Dawn
She is very knowledgeable! I was aware of some of the biblical insight she gave during Gilded Gingerbread, and was impressed with how in-depth she went when giving the background information.
