Enrico David at the MCA

The Wandering Art Historian has returned! If you haven’t seen any blog posts as of late, know that I spent a bit of time away from the blog, wandering around the Windy City. This was my second visit in less than a year and I can assure you… Chicago is a city FULL of ART! […]

“Forbidden Literature” by Rene Magritte

Please visit the ArtScene Press blog to read my article on the Magritte & Dali exhibit currently on view at The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL! Here is a brief excerpt… Theatrically curated, the artwork is hung on red walls, with each of the galleries delineated by lush red velvet curtains. Except for a […]

Magritte & Dali

In preparation for my upcoming lecture on Rene Magritte, I visited The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, FL to view their current exhibition Magritte & Dali. I won’t go into too much detail here on the blog about what this exhibition entails for two reasons: 1. I will be writing an article about the exhibition […]

Robert Indiana: A Sculpture Retrospective

Not long after the passing of artist Robert Indiana this past summer, the Tampa Museum of Art announced the exhibition, “Robert Indiana: A Sculpture Retrospective.” It is currently on view (through March 17th, 2019) and I visited the exhibition last week. I knew I was going to see his iconic “LOVE” sculpture and probably some […]

Love is Calling

Last week I visited the Tampa Museum of Art for the first time to experience the “Love is Calling” installation created by Yayoi Kusama. There is no additional fee to enter this separate installation, but reservations are required as only a small number of guests may enter at one time. Even if you have seen […]

Tampa Museum of Art

When I travel, I try to keep an open mind about the art institutions located in the cities I visit. When you visit a large metropolitan area, like Chicago or Boston, you don’t have to worry so much about the quality (or in those cases, the sheer magnitude) of the city’s art institutions. However, visiting […]

Coffee Shop of Horrors

I have wanted to visit the Coffee Shop of Horrors for quite a while now and I am so glad I finally got the opportunity. I had heard of its unique theming (you know how I love scenic theming and props!) and was very curious to see how it worked in a cafe setting. I […]

Mary Magdalene

The story of the Magdalene is a wild, weird and complex one that is more mythic legend than factual event. For starters, throughout art history she is depicted as a sort of amalgam of a few different women mentioned in the Bible’s four gospels of the New Testament. Second, her story takes an extreme turn […]

Thank You for a Spooktacular Event!

THANK YOU to everyone who made it out to the 9th Annual Dia de los Muertos & Monster Factory event last week at City Arts Factory! It was so humbling to see my paintings hanging alongside such incredible works of art by fellow local artists. If you were not able to attend the festivities on […]

“Dangerous Women” Opens at CFAM

I recently visited the new exhibition, “Dangerous Women,” at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum. I highly recommend this show to anyone who has a penchant for the Baroque period or who wants to explore art theory regarding the role of women in art. The show consists of 23 paintings culled from the collection of the […]
