So much better than Instagram! Pierre-Auguste Renoir invited 14 friends to lunch one summer--several lunches actually--and ended up creating this spectacular work of art.  In today's episode we find out about this happy group and that beautiful riverside restaurant they're clearly enjoying. And I'll tell you a pretty funny story about how Duncan Phillips was able to get this stunner for his new modern art museum, the Phillips Collection in Washington DC.  SHOW NOTES  “A Long Look” themes are "Easy" by Ron Gelinas https://youtu.be/2QGe6skVzSs and “At the Cafe with You” by Onion All Stars https://pixabay.com/users/onion_all_stars-33331904/ Episode music “Parisian” by Kevin MacLeod https://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/music.html Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 From Blue Dot Sessions: “Via Verre” https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/306837 “Symphony 40 In G Minor” https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/306840 “Etude 9 Stefan” https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/306841 Artwork information  https://www.phillipscollection.org/collection/luncheon-boating-party https://www.phillipscollection.org/event/2017-10-06-renoir-and-friends-luncheon-boating-party “The Eye of Duncan Phillips: A collection in the making” by Duncan Philips and David W.

Platemark hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig offer up a bonus HoP episode featuring a conversation about a single work of art. Occasionally we will drop a BONUS EP ONE PRINT, which will take a single work and pull it apart with an eye toward exploring subject matter, technique, style, and composition. The first of these episodes features the etching Battlefield, 1907, by Käthe Kollwitz.   We hope this new kind of conversation resonates, and we'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for other great prints worthy of a 90-minute episode.   Fun fact: Käthe is pronounced KAY-tuh, not Cathy; in Kollwitz, the W sounds like a V.   Episode image: Käthe Kollwitz (German, 1867–1945).

Today, Renoir is remembered as one of the greatest painters of the Impressionist movement. His paintings are soft and delicate, but his life and his work was a painful struggle. Most painters pride themselves on their ability to work with their hands. They spend years practicing, developing fine motor skills and muscle memory to easily render a beautiful image, but Renoir's hands weren't on board with the plan. As his son Jean recounted “Visitors who were unprepared for this could not take their eyes off his deformity. Though they did not dare to mention it, their reaction would be expressed by some such phrase as ‘it isn't possible! With hands like that, how could he paint those pictures?” In 1899, Pierre-Auguste Renoir was sticken with Rhumetiod Arthritis which not only caused painful inflammation of the joints. It left his hands deformed. While even the most minor movements of his hand or wrist would bring pain, Renoir persisted. He continued making beautiful paintings until his death 20 years later because as he said, “pain passes, but beauty remains.” Fill out the Airwave Media Network survey to give me feedback and get a chance to win a $500 gift card: www.surveymonkey.com/r/airwave  Check out my other podcast Art Smart Arts Madness Tournament links: Check out the Brackets Who ARTed is an Airwave Media Podcast.

This sunny, warm painting is a welcome relief in this miserable March. ”Skiffs” is one in a series of young men boating by Gustave Caillebotte who was a lesser known Impressionist painter until a beautiful 2015 exhibition at the National Gallery. We'll find out about his relationship with his fellow Impressionists, his killer art collection and how he turns up in one of Renoir's most famous paintings. I'd like to thank the staff at the Phillips Collection for their help with this episode.
