We are so excited to share a new series from our Canadian podcast friends Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North
A series about a group of artists known as the Professional Native Indian Artists Incorporation (PNIAI) or as they were dubbed by the press: the Indigenous Group of Seven.
This was significant because the most famous Euro-Canadian painters then were known as the Group of Seven which put respect on their name - especially for Indigenous artists who were still thought of as less than their white counterparts as well as their work being seen more as anthropology than art…
The PNIAI artists include:
Daphne Odjig
Alex Janvier
Jackson Beardy
Eddy Cobiness
Norval Morrisseau
Carl Ray
Joseph Sanchez
Listen to the first episode here, then go and subscribe to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood North to finish the series over the coming weeks.

Once the series has wrapped up we will have a bonus episode covering some of our favorite works from the series.

For its SIXTH installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color Theory and Color Studies brings you our most controversial color so far. . . PINK (!!!)
Is this color just a light red? Or is the extra-spectral tone of our… life… energy…?
We dig through the history, characteristics, and your color associations with, artist, curator, activist - and creator of the Pinkest Pink - Stuart Semple @stuartsemple
And try - TRY - to make some sense of the sorted history of Pink, from its humble algae origins to its 20th century capitalist feminine turn.

Listeners, we present to you… the FULLY UNLOCKED… Great Surrealist Paint Off! Formerly a Patreon bonus episode from last December (since we are running a bit behind on our next release)
We cover the 1947 International Bel Ami Surrealist Art Competition featuring famous and lesser known artists to have their work featured in a Hollywood picture.
We HIGHLY recommend following along on YouTube because we cover A LOT of images in this one - it’s a wild ride:
We are back (!) picking up where we left off with Francisco de Goya in PART ONE as we finally discuss Los Caprichos, but not before diving into the revelatory hidden imagery in La familia de Carlos IV, and Goya's infamous witch series: Witches' Flight, The Spell, Witches' Sabbath, The Witches' Kitchen, and The Bewitched Man / Devil's Lamp.
We also address the myth that Goya went ‘crazy’ after a certain point in his life. Turns out, the answer was ‘no’ but also not that simple.
Full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRxVZRzDicI
We will be following up our Goya episodes with a wrap up ‘sode on our Patreon very soon where we will talk about all the things, thoughts, feelings that went behind making this trio of Goya/Spanish culture related episodes: http://www.patreon.com/artslicepod

We are officially back for Season Dos of Art Slice with Francisco Goya’s epic series of 80 prints - Los Caprichos.
Watch the full video here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ9US22i0iE&t=2717s&ab_channel=ArtSlicePod
But before diving in, we look at Goya’s early career which coincided with the rise of French imported Enlightenment ideals and the rejection of said ideals in the Majo/a street style of the lower classes.
Topics include trolling gods, straw mannequins, art worms, French simps, and the uncanny parallels between the lil homies / lil palermos and Goya’s Majomies.
What do you call it when a second serving of Art History is larger than your first serving???
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.
It’s a big ol’ episode to send 2022 packing…not to mention our first fully video episode… only available on our patreon: www.patreon.com/artslicepod

Join us as we discuss an abbreviated history of blue - from its fleeting and rare presence in nature, to humanity’s attempts to harness and assign meaning to it. Key moments include Egyptian blue, Ultramarine and YINmn blue.
Through a scientific breakthrough in the early 19th century, cobalt blue would become the steadfast true blue pigment missing on the painter’s palette, leading artists like Eugene Delacroix, Edouard Manet, Vincent Van Gogh and Richard Diebenkorn to use cobalt in their varied and expressive visions.
And lastly, we also dig into our associations with COBALT BLUE - which ranged from ocean hues, expansive skies, otherworldliness, happiness or even fresh crispness - all through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.
The song featured in this episode was “I need to do it to be alive” by Soft and Furious from the album Diving in the Self which is one of a hundred incredible songs by Rrrrrose of Loyalty Freak Music.

In this week’s episode,
Stephanie and Russell discover the many versions of second generation, multidisciplinary Surrealist Dorothea Tanning and dive into a few works from her nearly century long, prolific career:
Birthday, oil on canvas from 1942; soft sculpture installation, Hotel du Pavot, Chambre 202 from 1970-73; and in a Patreon exclusive Midi et demi (Half Past Noon, oil on canvas, 1956-57.
From small town Midwest roots to New York City hustling waiting for her big break, Dorothea’s early life and artistic journey are ones that many can relate to. Despite living in the shadow of her husband, OG Dada and Surrealist artist Max Ernst, she very much had her own painting techniques.
Be sure to listen to the Dorothea Tanning BONUS episode on our - Patreon.
Topics include Hitler’s banana broccoli breath, burning davenports, lil girl rage, sooty lungs, twee / tweed, fast talking, stolen dogs...and other things....
The Art Pantry this week is Soft Sculpture.

For its fourth installment, the Art Slice Museum Laboratories Division of Color (not a color) Theory and Color Studies presents . . . BLACK.
Join us as we discuss a brief history of the color BLACK beginning with how scientifically, it’s ‘a color not a color’ then onto the pigments and its utilization by artists since prehistoric times, through the Renaissance, Post-Impressionism until today which includes some artist feuds involving the blackest man-made pigment ever*. And lastly, we also dig into our associations with BLACK - which ranged from infiniteness, dominatrixes, faded black clothing, and monsters - through data compiled by the Art Slice Pantrémon from clinical participants.
