    27: Yasuo Kuniyoshi - ✰ ► a deep dive into the often overlooked artist ◄ ◄ ◄

    WATCH THE VIDEO VERSION HERE (and if you do please like, subscribe, and comment - we are trying to get our videos some traction): https://youtu.be/vQZ0yMxdfuE ¡ ¡ W E ‘ R E  B A C K,  Y ’ A L L ! ! This time getting lost in the weird and wonderful world of painter, photographer and printmaker Yasuo Kuniyoshi’s early works (Part 1) that feature wonky landscapes populated by dream logic, lumpy babies, curvaceous women, angular farm animals, and Japanese folk tales as well as American folk influences. Yas’ early works became an amalgamation of his lifelong journey of self-identity, expertly blending sentimental past memories, like that of Japanese folktale Momotaro, with present feelings of fear and isolation due to the growing racism and tension he was experiencing on the daily. As an Asian American immigrant, and like many other Nikkei, Yas found himself trapped somewhere in the middle - considered neither Japanese nor American enough - as relations between the US and Japan escalated.  We discuss “Little Joe with Cow” 1923, “Bad Dream” 1924, and “Self-Portrait as Golf Player” 1927.  Topics include shedding your husk, Weezer dance-a-thons, dual cup-holder LaZ boys, censoring comics and mermaids . . . and so much more!!

    26: La Catrina ⇝ Jose Guadalupe Posada's Skull-icon of Día de Muertos ☠ Revolution ☭

    Watch the video version here (if you do - please like, subscribe, and comment as we are trying to get our videos more recognition): https://youtu.be/YN-jTDR2spY ¡ ¡ W E ‘ R E B A C K, Y ’ A L L ! ! and diving into the origins of La Catrina, the quintessential skelicon of Day of the Dead. Over the past 100ish years, her image has transcended borders, becoming synonymous with sugar skulls, Frida Kahlo, the Virgin of Guadalupe and even Santa Muerte. From her first incarnation by Mexican printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada in 1910 as “Calavera Garbancera” (Chick-Pea Calavera) print, all the way back to early depictions of (and actual) skulls found in Aztec and Mayan tzompantli; Her rediscovery and re-imagining by the Mexican Muralists in the early 20th century, even making a cameo in the larger than life mural by Diego Rivera in 1947 “Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central” or “A Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park” and finally, the continuing rise of La Catrina’s visage in the present day. We also discuss Europe’s Memento Mori moment in Hans Holbein the Younger’s “The Ambassadors” from 1533 as well as Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos influence on Posada’s “Calavera de los Patinadores” or “Street-cleaning Calavera” from c.1900 and “Calavera Oaxaqueña” or “The Oaxacan Calavera” c.1910. Topics include renegade saints, is Tim McCraw dead?, hybrid deities, Franceyness, psychedelic skulls, really just lots and lots and lots of skulls . . .

    Purple w/ Caldwell Tanner - Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory & Color Studies

    Want to watch instead of listen? Do so here: https://youtu.be/Qw4YLLwleD0 For its SEVENTH installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies brings you the extra-spectral, enigmatic (and sometimes controversial) PURPLE - and we have artist, illustrator, animator and (duncle) Caldwell Tanner of Not Another DnD Podcast (NaddPod), Drawfee, Big City Greens - on deck to help sort it out. Is it actually violet? Or have color manufacturers fudged the visuals? Or is purple hidden in plain sight, filling in the voids of our imaginations and our physical world? We get into all of this - discussing purple’s history - its ancient lineage beginning often laborious flora origins, its unwavering sense of mystery and wonder yet it’s reincarnation into pop cultural characters - as well as it's characteristics, and your color associations! Key moments include: Grimace (original), Qin Shi Huang, world wide mollusk milking, purple kimonos, Klasky Csupo, Cleopatra, Grimace (current day), colorful Giallo horror flicks, Harry Clarke, Lois Dodd, and what kind of pants robots could wear...
