In this Purple Bonus episode, we break down some weird decorative object history with Ben Miller from Curious Objects podcast. We get into a Japanese inspired Tiffany and Co. Chocolate Pot from 1876 made of mixed materials including ivory and silver featuring cabbage leaf and lobster motifs.

Join us as we discuss maces? molinets? antique forgeries, nebulous grape-colored copper patina and so much more!

For its SEVENTH installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies brings you the extra-spectral, enigmatic (and sometimes controversial) PURPLE - and we have artist, illustrator, animator and (duncle) Caldwell Tanner of Not Another DnD Podcast (NaddPod), Drawfee, Big City Greens - on deck to help sort it out.

We dig through the history, characteristics, and your color associations with, artist, curator, activist - and creator of the Pinkest Pink - Stuart Semple @stuartsemple 

Spooky bonus chat with Arkansas multi-disciplinary artist Rumwolf.

While we wrap up our series on Goya's Los Capricho's enjoy this dive into the tumultuous history of the Majos / Majas - which is filled with secretive Duchess, working class riots, street style, lacy mantillas, and goo... yes goo...

Including Goya's infamous Maja Desnuda & Maja Vestida portraits.

To make up for that Precious Moments Chapel let down - we took a quick look at another Martin Wong piece we really love...Rapture from 1988.

We also discuss Wong's "Traffic Signs for the Hearing Impaired" from 1992... ghosts... gut biomes...

We dig into the 1940’s - where Surrealism is having its day in Hollywood… ultimately leading to a painting competition between Ivan Albright, Eugene Berman, Leonora Carrington, Salvador Dali, Paul Delvaux, Max Ernst, Leonor Fini (sort of), Osvaldo Louis Guglielmi, Horace Pippin, Abraham Rattner, Stanley Spencer, and Dorothea Tanning…to be featured in full on technicolor in the film The Private Affairs of Bel Ami. And there are rules… they must create THEIR version of The Temptation of Saint Anthony…who had already been depicted in various states of getting his ass kicked by monster demons by non other than Stefano di Giovanni, Master of the Osservanza, Martin Schongauer, Michelangelo, and Hieronymus Bosch… no big deal.
