    Episode 36: Black and Bleu

    Thank you for listening to Bluestocking, the podcast for people who love to learn, but don’t always have time to study. This episode, I was inspired by a series of stories covering art history in seven colors, and reminded of a book from one of my favorite authors, Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore. Helpful Links: https://www.kellygrovier.com/ - poet and art critic Kelly Grovier. Check out his art history series for the BBC. http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20180312-the-racist-message-hidden-in-a-masterpiece - Kelly Grovier’s take on black. https://www.chrismoore.com/books/sacre-bleu/ - Sacre Bleu by Christopher Moore. Follow the link on this page to read the first two chapters.
