BONUS: Art History BUTTS w/ Museum Bums
Jack Shoulder and Mark Small of Museum Bums fame take us on a curvy tour of Art Historical Gluteal Clefts!
If you’d rather watch - you can do so here:
Topics include counting museum rumps, apotropaic blessings from Goddesses’ heinies, Kappa Yokai looking for soul spheres in your rear…
We’re all still stumped about what was up with Hieronymus Bosch’s… erhm… interest in butts.
And of course, the coded queerness hiding just between the cheeks of artists like Michelangelo and Henry Scott Tuke.
For your daily dose of bum - follow @museumbums on social, and while you’re at it pick up Museum Bums: A Cheeky Look at Butts in Art from (preferably) your local bookstore.
We also discuss listener submitted bum recs, see a couple below:
Alexandros of Antioch, Venus De Milo, Marble. C.150 - 125 BC. Discovered in Milos, Greece. Now at the Louvre in Paris, France
Luca Signorelli, The Damned Cast into Hell, 1499-1504. Fresco, 23′ wide. San Brizio chapel, Orvieto Cathedral, Orvieto, Italy
