From art lovers to art haters to art-is-just-okay-ers, Art History for All aims to get all kinds of people thinking about art and what it means to them. 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
Great Variety
I enjoy Art History for All, and I appreciate the variety of work and artists Allyson Healey covers.
Interesting
I have learned some interesting things I didn’t know, and been exposed to artists I didn’t know that well. It’s a little dry in places, and the posting is not regular enough to stay in my top podcast list, but it’s ok for a nice car ride.
Awestruck and delighted
One night, like most nights, I was trying to fall asleep, so I looked up art history, as I have really never found it interesting. As I listened, I just grew more interested, and realized there was no way I could fall asleep to something so interesting.
Now, I listen to it almost everyday, and am always amazed and delighted by the intricately layer out history of famous, and lesser known art pieces.
