artlust
art, history & culture — but not much lust.
Why?
Art doesn't happen in a vacuum. artlust puts the work back into the context that made it — the patrons, the pigments, the politics — so you can learn to actually see.
An ongoing study of art history in context, built to make visual literacy something anyone can pick up. New looks every week — in video, essays and conversation.
