A Closer Look at Famous Sculptures

My most recent YouTube series explores the world of art in three dimensions. Every Thursday in March, I shared a new video discussing a famous sculpture to The Wandering Art Historian YouTube channel. I specifically chose sculptures that would challenge perspectives and, hopefully, generate dialogue. All five videos are now LIVE on my YouTube channel […]

Another 15 Minutes for Andy

It seems that Andy Warhol is having a moment. Earlier this month, Netflix debuted a six-part documentary about the art world superstar titled “The Andy Warhol Diaries.” The producers mine Warhol’s most personal and intimate thoughts for new information and also to gain insight.

“Candyman” (2021)

I frequently discuss art-related documentaries on this blog, but from time to time I delve into the world of cinema to highlight films with overt art historical references or that creatively use art to enhance the storytelling process.

The Highwaymen at the PMA

The next stop in my Central Florida art adventures was the Polk Museum of Art in Lakeland, FL where I took in an enchanting exhibit celebrating The Highwaymen. I purposely use the term “enchanting” because that is how I feel whenever I see the work of this incredibly talented group. These artists captured something extra […]

Visit the RMA ASAP!

This Spring the art institutions of the Central Florida and Tampa Bay areas are awash with must see exhibitions! I am eager to see some magnificent artwork in the coming months, but my biggest concern is this… trying to see as many exhibitions as possible before they close. What a wonderful “problem” to have!
