Our third of four Bill Lane Center for the American West podcasts featured Stanford's Alex Nemerov in conversation with Michael Krasny. The discussion began with what makes Western art distinctive and what captured Alex's imagination. Michael then explored Alex's approach to curating art exhibitions and discussed the influences of Alex's father, celebrated poet Howard Nemerov, and his aunt, iconic pioneer photographer Diane Arbus. This led to a discussion of Susan Sontag's book on photography and photography's status as fine art. The conversation then broadened to explore various themes: women artists, Jasper Johns, the universal and spiritual elements in art, solipsism, art for the marketplace versus art for art's sake, and socially purposeful versus aesthetic art. Alex shared both personal and professional perspectives on art's power—from its inward transformative and transfiguring effects to its broader meaning and potential as a world-changing agent. The interview concluded with a discussion of kindness, and Alex revealed what he considers the greatest work in American art.
This is the first episode of a new season focused on the craft of writing in art history. Sara Houghteling (special projects coordinator for the Research and Academic Program and a fiction writer) speaks with Alexander Nemerov, professor of art history at Stanford University, about his most recent book, The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s. He discusses his writing process, how his craft has changed over time, and this current book's varied sources of inspiration—from painting and poetry to time spent in nature and pilgrimages to historical sites.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Alexander Nemerov discusses his life and work with Stanford senior Noah Sveiven. Topics include the art history professor's two most recent books – The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s and Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York – along with Nemerov's relationship with his parents, some recollections from childhood, and reflections on university life. Office Hours Air is a new Stanford Daily podcast and radio program. The show, created and hosted by Noah Sveiven, features guests in conversation about their work and the experiences in their life that drew them to that work. Sveiven hopes the program will be of interest to other undergraduates discerning their callings, as well as anyone else wanting to try out new ways of thinking. Sveiven also envisions the show as a way to archive the experiences and perspectives of his guests. Office Hours Air is produced weekly and available online on all major podcast platforms.

Halloween has always been a special time for classic movies. From the early Universal Studios monster films to the psychological thrillers of ALFRED HITCHCOCK to the gory blood-bathes of the 1980s slasher films, Hollywood understood that people love to be frightened. In this Halloween episode, hosts Steve and Nan share some of the perhaps lesser-known scary movies to enjoy this Halloween season. Some are really great; some...not so much. But they all have a special place in Steve and Nan's demented little hearts. So pull the covers up tight, keep the lights on and ignore that thump in the night as they explore a few fun eerie movies.

America in the 1830s was stranger than we might think: cities were made of wood, primeval forests towered above East and West coasts alike, and the Great Dismal Swamp still swallowed more than a million acres of Virginia. Alexander Nemerov, an art historian at Stanford University, brings this unruly and uncanny world to life in his new book, The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830s. Neither history nor fiction, the book offers dozens of gem-like stories of man's last real encounters with these ancient forests: Nat Turner's woodland hiding place, the inscription of the Cherokee language both in trail trees and on paper, Harriet Tubman's view of the Leonid meteor shower, the painter Thomas Cole's top hat of felted beaver fur. Nemerov joins us on the podcast to discuss what his unusual approach reveals about this turning point between civilization and the wild.Go beyond the episode:Alexander Nemerov's The Forest: A Fable of America in the 1830sSaidiya Hartman's Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments is a luminous work of historical imaginationYou can walk along Chicago's lone wooden block alley, a remnant of the world that went up in smoke in the Great Fire of 1871The Great Dismal Swamp may have shrunk, but it's still thereVisit the episode page for a selection of paintings by Thomas Cole and Sanford Robinson GiffordTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? (Interview in English) What can we learn from art? How has it shaped us as humanity and how has our society shaped art? In today's episode, I talk with Professor Alexander Nemerov. He's a professor at Stanford University in Arts and Humanities. Some friends of mine who were also studying at Stanford University then, were so excited to attend his lecture that I've been looking forward to this conversation for a long time. Alexander is professor with passion and full of heart. It was very touching to listen to his theses and ideas and also to be able to talk to him about art and mindfulness.

Einige Freunde von mir, die damals auch an der Stanford University studierten, waren so begeistert von seiner Vorlesung, dass ich mich sehr lange auf dieses Gespräch gefreut habe. Alexander ist Professor mit Leidenschaft und mit vollem Herzen dabei. Es war sehr berührend seinen Thesen und Ideen zuhören zu dürfen und auch mit ihm über Kunst und Achtsamkeit sprechen zu können.

Alexander Nemerov brings us the story of pioneering artist Helen Frankenthaler and a look into New York's 1950s art scene.
At the dawn of the 1950s, a promising and dedicated young painter named Helen Frankenthaler, fresh out of college, moved back home to New York City to make her name. By the decade's end, she had succeeded in establishing herself as an important American artist of the postwar period. In the years in between, she made some of the most daring, head-turning paintings of her day and also came into her own as a woman: traveling the world, falling in and out of love, and engaging in an ongoing artistic education. She also experienced anew—and left her mark on—the city in which she had been raised in privilege as the daughter of a judge, even as she left the security of that world to pursue her artistic ambitions. Brought to vivid life by acclaimed art historian Alexander Nemerov, these defining moments—from her first awed encounter with Jackson Pollock's drip paintings to her first solo gallery show to her tumultuous breakup with eminent art critic Clement Greenberg—comprise a portrait as bold and distinctive as the painter herself. Inspired by Pollock and the other male titans of abstract expressionism but committed to charting her own course, Frankenthaler was an artist whose talent was matched only by her unapologetic determination to distinguish herself in a man's world. Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York (Penguin Press, 2021) is an exhilarating ride through New York's 1950s art scene and a brilliant portrait of a young artist through the moments that shaped her. Allison Leigh is Assistant Professor of Art History and the SLEMCO/LEQSF Regents Endowed Professor in Art & Architecture at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Her research explores masculinity in European and Russian art of the eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alexander Nemerov is the Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University. Throughout our recording, it became apparent that a lot of his work is analyzing fiction and poetry alongside visual art. His nuanced language drew pictures of life that visualized his beliefs and experiences. It was a beautiful, at times maybe even overwhelming talk due to the abundance of thoughts to ponder upon, leaving us thankful and excited. We talked to him about his eventful path of life and the influences of his famous father and aunt, how not knowing can be a guidestar for life and about the beauty of ordinary moments and what to take from them. And of course about art. The book he talks about in the podcast: George Elliot - Middle March Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/einpodkaffee)
