Thomas Struth
Audience 4, Florence, 2004
Struth is most known for his series of Museum Photographs that are meticulously staged to look completely organic. Could this be a commentary on the artifice of the museum? The commoditization of creativity? Or something else - what do you think?

One of his best films! A self mocking commentary on the "genius" of the male painter that was romanticized at the time. Revealing childlike tantrums, altercations with gallerists, and just generally creating some hilarious paintings. A must watch for any /arthistory enjoyer.

/arthistory Felix Gonzalez-Torres, “Untitled” (billboard of an empty bed)
A photo of the artist's own empty bed, once occupied by himself and his partner, now empty as hiv/AIDS had claimed the life of his beloved. After the Regan admin disregarded the disease, artists took it upon themselves to raise awareness.

Leonorra Carrington (1917-2021) considered one of the most important surrealist painters of the 20th cent. A feminist pioneer, combining mythology, folk tales, and personal narrative to advance Surrealism to new heights. A women who refused to be silenced, even when committed against her will to an asylum. More below
I wasn't seeing a lot of art on here so I decided to make a channel exploring the history of the medium itself. In the last cycle, many folks became art critics overnight with little context for what came before - hopefully this channel can become a place to celebrate Art's enduring legacy and explore its many forms.
