What a week, Honeys!
We had all kinds of stories and many worth sharing in our weekly Beesness---which is why this one is a little longer, but we promise you'll find many stories to love. Our headlines included news of a major layoff at Sotheby's, accusations of gallery nonpayment coming from a dozen artists, a handful of follow-ups, and the end of an art museum-based strike.

Ah, the sights, the sounds, the tastes, of the World's Fair. Little has gone down in popular imagination like the fantastical experience of the turn-of-the-century exposition. And with the legacies of fairs like the 1893 Chicago Columbian Expo, the birthplace of the brownie AND the Ferris wheel, how could they not?
Yet for all their fame, there's a lesser-known side to the story: the role of women within the fairs, and the first time women got to organize their own building at a world expo. This week, we're going back to the Woman's Building at the Columbian Exposition. We'll cover the women who worked behind the scenes--artists and Board of Lady Managers members alike--who came together to realize the special site, and we'll discuss the legacy of the world's fair format before and after that groundbreaking edition.
Hope you enjoy the ride!

Surprise, Honeys! We've got a December bonus for you: a new Personal Pinup.
In this special, I'll walk you through the stories behind and meanings of 5 pieces from my personally curated art wall, including a NYC institution's postcard, a bauble from Bourbon Street, and an artwork that reminds of childhood state park visits. Enjoy!

Not every great artist started out that way...
Some started out as school teachers, another was a house painter, and yet a third found success as a pro gambler. In our new episode, we talk over the lesser- or un-known first jobs of some of art history's legends, one of whom worked on Wall Street. Join us in this exploration of the obscure,and often non-creative former careers held by artists like Barbara Kruger, Richard Serra, Keith Haring, and more.

We all know a true jack of all trades--someone who seems to have had every job possible. Yet when it comes to artists, we often tend to think of them as exclusively artists.
Our new episode, however, will uncover which artists were teachers, who was a house painter, and who wanted to make it big as a pro gambler. We'll talk about who worked on Wall Street, and who was a furniture mover, and some of the other obscure and often non-creative early careers of some of art history's legends.

We've got another stand-alone analysis for you today, Honeys.
Our work in question for the day is Diego Velazquez's Las Meninas of 1556. To get ourselves into the royal mindset, we're taking it back to 17th-century Spain and diving into the relationships between Diego Velazquez and the Spanish royal family. The painting itself will give us clues into the artist's role in their lives and his status at court in general, so expect to hear a bit about each character seen here. We will also going to look at court painters and the tradition of court painting a little more broadly.
Enjoy your trip into the court of Philip IV!

I know what you're thinking, Honeys-- a whole episode on art and art history terms?!
We understand how this could sounds pretty dry, BUT the terms we have chosen for your today are just funky and therefore memorable, or effectively tricky enough in practice, to be worth talking about.
...And, tbh, I didn’t know and/or forgot what some of these are so it's a good review for all of us!
We hope the terminal breakdown will help all the Honeys follow along in future episodes by taking an episode to explain what we mean, and tell you why certain phrasing really does matter when you're talking art!

What better topic for a Spooky Special than a Surrealist, Honeys?
At least that's the thought behind our newest episode, investigating the life, career, and artworks of Remedios Varo. One of the most popularly-obscure yet incredibly impactful Spanish artists of the 20th century, Varo constantly challenged other Surrealists as well as herself to create emotionally compelling and symbolically-loaded artworks that resonate through to today.
Come check out her artworks as well as her legacy in our final special of 2024!

You know I love a good alliteration, Honeys, and this episode's title not only scratches that itch but tells you everything.
In today's discussion of art history, we zoom in on the late 19th and early 20th centuries to talk about Primitivism and its baby brother, Cubism. We'll take a look at how "primitive" evolved as a term, shifting with its times to reference other cultures and places in the world instead of Europeans' own past cultures. We'll look at how it inspired several other movements and many of the trends of modernism, but most importantly, we'll reveal the artists behind some of Primitivism's most enduring and most recognizable tropes to take you on a comprehensive journey through the worlds of pure imagination created by Henri Rousseau, Pablo Picasso, and more.
You'll also finally learn why I say "ew" every time I say Gauguin! Spoiler alert: he's problematic.
Enjoy the buzz, Honeys.
