Join art historian Jo McLaughlin as she delves into the wonderful world of art history in a fun and accessible way
Jo’s aim is to begin breaking down the elitism which surrounds the subject of art history and believes in order to do so, it’s important to create a space where everyone from all walks of life have the opportunity to talk about art that is meaningful to them; as let’s face it, if you are passionate about something, you are going to be good at talking about it!
Painting, sculpture, architecture, jewellery, ceramics, design – no subject is off-limits on Jo’s Art History Podcast.

Gustav Metzger with Phil Barton
Hello and welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast. Today I’m joined by artist Phil Barton to discuss the groundbreaking artist Gustave Metzger.
A pioneer of protest and political art activism, Metzger developed the concept of Auto-Destructive Art and the Art Strike. He went on to forge a career which saw retrospectives held at TATE and The Serpentine Gallery.
Metzger is an artist I had not come across and found endlessly fascinating as my conversation with Phil went on. It’s an episode not to be missed. Thank you so much to Phil for being such a brilliant guest.

Fauvism with Loïs Cordelia
Hello and welcome back this week we are talking all thing Faves and Fauvism with British artist Loïs Cordelia.
Fauvism is a style of painting and an art movement that emerged in France at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the style of les Fauves (French for the wild beasts), a group of modern artists whose works emphasised painterly qualities and strong colour over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism.

Fred Cuming with Emma Hoten
Hello and welcome back to Jo’s Art History Podcast. This week I speak to artist Emma Hoten about the British Landscape painter, Fred Cuming RA.
Fred is an artist I knew nothing about and, as I admit in the episode, would never really have paid attention to. But Emma’s passion for Fred’s work is infectious and I loved recording this episode with her.
It not only taught me about a British Landscape artist but it showed me that I too, pigeon hole the art I look at and make assumptions. It's always nice to broaden your horizons - no pun intended. I hope you enjoy.
