In honor of Brian Eno's 71st birthday I'm sharing a quote of his regarding Russian avant-garde. The art movement was an early inspiration to Eno during art school, finding parallels between abstract art and the non-figurative quality of music.

Hilma af Klint is all the buzz this year after her record-breaking exhibition at the NYC Guggenheim. It seems Klint met the broader public at the right time aesthetically, with the recent popularity of geometric abstraction, muted tones, and science and spiritual symbolism. I'll talk a little of her backstory, her style, and my experience of her exhibit in today's episode.

The rusty old revolver believed to have taken the life of Vincent Van Gogh will soon be up for auction. The artifact was discovered in a field in Auvers-sur-Oise, France decades after Van Gogh fired it. Also in this episode: you get to hear me attempt to pronounce a very complicated French village name followed by me quickly moving along in hopes nobody notices I butchered it. Hey, I took Spanish.

Although Wassily Kandinsky wrote extensively about his experience with color, which went beyond the average viewer's perception, it's unclear whether or not he was a true synesthete or a just an artist who required textbook-like structure to create.
Also: Dang, this woman (me, that's me) is figuring out the audio recording stuff and it shows in this episode.

What is art? I dare to answer this age-old question, at least for me personally and what it'll mean for future podcast episodes.
