Adventures in Arting Podcast: Matisse in the Studio

from the Balzer Designs Blog: Adventures in Arting Podcast

Today's podcast features a conversation about the new Matisse in the Studio exhibit at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), along with a painting class I'm currently taking there.

If you do not see the podcast player above, please click on this link.  You can listen to a podcast anywhere and at any time.  It is a recording that is available to you whenever you'd like to listen.  If you'd like to download it to your iTunes library, click here.  You can also pause and rewind or fast forward as you desire.  I like to listen to podcasts while I'm making art.  It's a little like hanging out with friends while you art.

If you missed yesterday's photos of the exhibit, you can find them HERE.  And here's a photo of my art class at the museum (more on that on another day):

  • Love you, love your Mom. Enjoyed insight into Matisse exhibit. I agree that it is a good idea to rid ourselves of that which makes us unhappy, etc. Trying a bullet journal – heard your thoughts on bujo and art journal – how about bujo and iphone calendar?

  • Thanks, not, for sharing that last story. I’ve had an unusually uplifting and down taking day, and in my journal while listening to your podcast, I decided to take the calm of the Tibetan art exhibit and the kindnesses I saw on my walk instead of the political baiting I withstood in the coffeehouse. Great Matisse insights. Look beyond what is being shown.

  • Loved hearing your comments on the exhibit, which were somewhat of a surprise. My only experience with the exhibit was through the photos you posted and the focus on the way Matisse used a collection of personal objects as a visual vocabulary came through to me loud and clear. Everything I saw was through your lens but without your expectations, so a great illustration of how our expectations change our experiences.
    I don’t know if anthropomorphizing the chocolate pot “belongs” on an exhibit card, but I can’t think of a better way to describe the emotion built into the set of those little legs. Maybe Gaston was inspired by Matisse!
    You and your mom bring so much to the table in terms of ideas and rich experiences, humor, honesty and love. Your podcasts give me something to enjoy in the moment and much to take away for my life and my art. You’re on my list of blessings.
