Jo's Art History Podcast
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.

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...
Why is art important? It's the question I ask every guest.
Let's deep dive back into four past responses and see where it takes us.
