I love learning about art history (modern art / 1950s-1980s era is probably my favorite).
I am a terrible reader (sometimes) and love to multitask.
So, I’ve resorted to audiobooks and YouTube.
I am on chapter eleven on Ninth Street Women (I think?) and I really like it so far.
I ❤️ learning.
Anyways, that being said I am excited to read (or listen, I guess) more art history books.

Such a wide range of art history to learn from. And! you can hear so much enthusiasm and wonder from the speakers every time they discuss the pieces. Roughly 10 minutes of your day to learn something new or revisit something you've seen before.

public art in particular is suuuper interesting, also art censorship, history of religious art, history of art movements or specific art styles (anything from impressionism to gran fury). or you could dive into specific artists (or even specific art pieces!). i think what’s really cool about it is that art history can be about people, politics, religion, culture as well as the medium itself and the evolution of techniques and styles
art restoration might be an interesting topic to learn about too (but personally i just like watching these videos lol)

If you’re open to recent history, this look into how the fine art world works is a fascinating and digestible intro into exactly what goes on behind the scenes of the art market and how artists and galleries operate within the construct of the fine art scene. It dives into specific famous artists of both the past and contemporary day and I found it super fascinating!

I love this button. I think it is from 1984. It was on a bulletin board in my childhood home.
