In this episode of Big Blend Radio's "World of Art" Podcast, artist and art historian Victoria Chick explores the remarkable life and legacy of Jack Levine (1915–2010), one of America's most influential political and social realist artists. Known for his satirical paintings and prints, Levine fearlessly used art to challenge authority, expose corruption, and capture the human condition with wit, compassion, and extraordinary technical skill. Victoria discusses Levine's humble beginnings in Boston, his rise through the Works Progress Administration (WPA), and the influences that shaped his distinctive artistic voice. The conversation explores how artists become powerful storytellers, why observation and integrity are essential to creative expression, and how art continues to inspire meaningful dialogue across generations. The episode also celebrates the ongoing development of the Southwest Regional Museum of Art & Art Center in Silver City, New Mexico. Victoria shares updates on the museum project and invites listeners to attend upcoming exhibitions and special events that celebrate American art and creativity. Victoria is a contemporary figurative artist, a collector of early 19th and 20th-century American prints, and the visionary spearheading the development of the Southwest Regional Museum of Art & Art Center in Silver City, New Mexico.

In this episode of Big Blend Radio's "World of Art" Podcast, artist and art historian Victoria Chick explores the life and legacy of Fletcher Martin (1904–1979)—a self-taught American artist whose talent, determination, and keen powers of observation helped him become one of the most respected illustrators and muralists of his era. From humble beginnings in the American West to working as a boxer, miner, illustrator, muralist, teacher, and war correspondent, Martin lived the experiences he later captured through his art. Victoria discusses how his unconventional path shaped his artistic voice, his work on Depression-era post office murals, his illustrations for major publications, and the inspirational approach he brought to teaching aspiring artists. The conversation also highlights the importance of preserving artistic heritage, the role of observation in creative development, and how artists can remain true to their own vision while learning from those who came before them. Victoria is a contemporary figurative artist, a collector of early 19th and 20th-century American prints, and the visionary spearheading the development of the Southwest Regional Museum of Art & Art Center in Silver City, New Mexico.

In this episode of Even Better, host Sinikka Waugh is joined by artist and community advocate Kristy Evans for a deeply moving conversation about letting go of control and embracing what comes next. Kristy shares her remarkable journey from teaching to art after unexpected health challenges reshaped her life, and how creativity became both a healing practice and a path toward self‑discovery. Together, they explore the emotional landscape of career transitions, the grief, the growth, and the courage it takes to be new at something again. Kristy reflects on the values that continue to anchor her, the role of play and curiosity in rebuilding identity, and her passion for fostering community through art. Whether you're navigating change, seeking purpose, or simply learning to loosen your grip, this conversation offers honesty, encouragement, and a reminder that beautiful things can emerge when we finally let go. -- Kristy Evans is a mixed media artist from Indianola, Iowa. She began painting in 2019. After nearly 20 years as a high school English teacher and swim coach, Kristy left the classroom with health issues and pivoted into art: "Life Part 2."

Southern Oregon artist Crystal Proffitt has always had a connection to hair. As a dancer, she grew comfortable styling her own hair for performances, and later worked as a professional hairstylist. But she’s also had strangers approach her to touch or tug her curls unsolicited, an experience she says isn’t uncommon for people of color. Proffitt channeled those experiences and others into the art installation “Don’t Touch My Hair: An Interactive Crowned Experience.” It features portraits of local models accompanied by audio descriptions of their own experiences with their hair. The installation will be on display at the Rogue Gallery & Art Center in Medford through Feb. 27. Proffitt joins us to talk more about the installation and the ways hair can convey beauty, culture, memory and identity.

The conversation also touches on his early influences, including his childhood experiences in Los Angeles, his grandfather's connections to MGM stars, as well as his education at Art Center, all of which shaped his artistic vision.Finally, Rolston discusses his shift from commercial work to personal art projects, driven by a desire to create a lasting legacy. He introduces his conceptual projects like the ventriloquist dummies series, “Talking Heads” and his exploration into art artmaking with "Art People," and details his upcoming "Vanitas" exhibition, which will be spread across four venues in Los Angeles, including ArtCenter and Leica Gallery, Los Angeles. He expresses his excitement for this new chapter and his love of teaching, giving him the opportunity to share his knowledge with the next generation of visual artists.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/matthew-rolston-an-unparalleled-career-from-pop-culture-iconography-to-fine-artUpcoming Shows:Hollywood Royale: Out of the School of Los Angeles: https://www.hollywoodroyale.comTalking Heads: The Vent Haven Portraits: https://matthewrolstontalkingheads.combeautyLIGHT: Pictures at a Magazine: https://www.beautylight.comArt People: The Pageant Portraits: https://www.matthewrolstonartpeople.comVanitas: The Palermo Portraits: https://www.vanitasproject.comTHE POWER OF PLEASURE, ARTCENTER CLASShttps://www.thepowerofpleasure.comChapters:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:30) Matthew Rolston(00:00:54) Editorial Work(00:07:50) Who's who of the 80's(00:11:38) Sunny, Cher or Chastity(00:12:54) Bucket List(00:13:55) Advertising(00:16:22) MTV & Music Videos(00:17:35) Teaching(00:22:30) Social Media(00:24:45) AI(00:29:01) Early Influences(00:35:43) LA(00:37:02) Andy Warhol & the Factory(00:40:34) Long Live Print(00:45:11) Disaster Story(00:49:11) Shifting Focus(00:56:04) Vanitas & Upcoming Shows(01:03:04) What's The Most Important Thing You Are?(01:05:36) Outro
A MODERN FORM OF WORSHIP—Name the five photographers who, more than any others, defined the dramatic shift in the approach to magazine photography in the late eighties and early nineties. There's Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Steven Meisel. Richard Avedon, of course. Who's missing? I'm getting to that.Today's guest was discovered while still a student at ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles, by Andy Warhol no less, whose upstart (and budget-deficient) team at "Interview" couldn't afford to send a crew to LA for a shoot. His first subject, newbie director Steven Spielberg, launched his photography career, and soon he was shooting for every magazine you could imagine.We're talking, of course, about Matthew Rolston. He, and his fellow rebels, changed everything by bringing both a sensuality and a sexuality to newsstands that big publishing hadn't seen before. Readers ate it up. Ask him to explain this transformation and you'll get a hot take that will completely change how you think about media and celebrity:“I think glamour—and glamour photography—is a substitute for god and goddess worship. The altar is the photo studio. So the goddess comes to the dressing room like she would've come to the preparation chamber of a temple. She's anointed with oils and potions—that would be the hair and makeup team. She's dressed in symbolic raiment—that would be the styling. And she's led to the altar where the adherents kneel before her—that would be me on the floor with my camera. It is really the same thing. It's just a modern, twisted version of the same impulses that we have to idolize people and worship them.” Just this year ArtCenter, his alma mater, presented the photographer, director, author, artist, and educator with its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring both his creative legacy and his role as a mentor to the next generation. It's the perfect moment to look back on his remarkable career, and to hear directly from Rolston himself.Our Anne Quito caught up with Matthew in the lead up to the premiere of an evocative new body of work, "Vanitas: The Palermo Portraits," a site-specific installation at ArtCenter, which premieres this weekend.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Once a real, functional firehouse in the city of Norman, the Firehouse Art Center is now a hub of the creative arts in its community. In addition to a variety of creative exhibitions, Firehouse offers classes and workshops in a wide range of mediums, including drawing, painting, sculpture, jewelry making, and all sorts of skills to turn the wheels of the mind. Andy Couch, executive director and curator for the art center, is our guest of the week. Also on this week's podcast, the editors discuss their favorite green spaces in Oklahoma, and podvents gives us the lowdown on this year's State Fair (hot chicken donut, anyone?) You won't want to miss it!
Counterculture icon… artist… nun? A new art center has opened up in downtown LA dedicated to the work of Corita Kent, also known as Sister Mary Corita, a nun and art teacher whose bright, colorful, and political Pop Art prints made her famous in the 1960s…and also got her in big trouble with the church. Pay a visit to the Corita Art Center next time you're in LA! Or: driving through Boston? Keep your eyes peeled for Rainbow Swash. For more on Corita and the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart, check out the Rebel Hearts documentary. And if you need some inspiration, here's the art department rules Corita posted in her classroom at Immaculate Heart College.

He doesn't like being called a "master" but he is. I've been a huge fan of his work since I started painting so I was excited to finally have him on. Super chill and down to earth guy and incredibly humble. We talked about being an art kid and his artistic familial lineage, his love of learning, going to Art Center, teaching oil painting and tons of other stuff. This interview went over 2 hours and we could have kept going for 2 more! An amazing dude and amazing painter! Also, a quick art life update.
