Each episode, hosts Claire (trained artist and art teacher) and Zach (art lover and museum geek) explore a famous work of art – some old, some new – walking through the stories of their favorite pieces.

Zach and Claire catch up between episodes to celebrate 2,600 downloads of the new podcast (thank you, all!) along with a little chat about travel plans to see the upcoming Venice Biennale art exhibition and a good, old-fashioned rant from Claire about the plight of art education.
Learn more about the Biennale - Venice’s 60th international art exhibition happening in 2024.
In episode 2, Zach and Claire take a look at one of Zach's favorite pieces - Louise Bourgeois’ sculpture Maman (1999). At over 30 feet tall and 33 feet wide, the work is massive and, as we learn, is an ode to the artist’s mother.
Check out an image of the work on our Instagram - or see it in person at the Tate Modern Museum in London. Field trip anyone?
In episode 1, Claire and Zach look at "Europe After The Rain II" by Max Ernst, painted between 1940 - 1942. One of Claire's favorite pieces, Ernst's surrealist masterpiece uses color and technique to express personal and collective tragedy as the people of Europe suffer through two major wars.
The episode image has been cropped, but you can check it out on our Instagram - or see it in person at the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum of Art in Hartford, Connecticut.
