Well, here we are my friends, the 100th and final episode!  We go back to where it all started, the National Gallery of Art, for a look at one of Pieter de Hooch's idealized depictions of what a Dutch household was supposed to be. This cozy home may have been more wishful thinking than reality, though!  We'll find out how an embarrassing meeting helped create the Gallery! And I'll share final thoughts and thank yous and a few podcast recommendations I think you'll really like (listed below).

When critics hinted Maurice Prendergast was getting a little repetitive as he approached 50, he could've hung up his brushes. After all, he'd been pretty successful. Instead, he headed back to where it all began--Paris--and came away reinvigorated with “a new impulse,” as he called it.   Today's episode takes us to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC. We'll find out how an idea that started with Congress just before the Depression led to an official modern art museum on the National Mall!   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 “Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15 - IX.

No bows and arrows, no hunting buffalo on horseback. Walter Ufer saw first-hand that Native Americans in the 1920s weren't the romanticized caricatures from the old Wild West shows.

Today's episode is all about relaxing, taking a little break after a long year and before the holidays hit. So I offer you a quiet beach at the Jersey Shore in this serene painting by William Trost Richards.  We'll find out how this Philadelphia-born artist embraced the idea of nature and art as keys to a better life and his connection to the Corcoran Gallery in Washington D.C. Thomas Cole and the Corcoran are key parts of the story, so here are previous episodes about them:  “A Pastoral Visit” tells the story of the founding of this influential museum and “The Voyage of Life: Childhood” is one of Cole's dramatic allegorical paintings.

Autumn is a season of change, so it seemed like the perfect time to announce a few changes happening with the show!  First, I've got new music! The current theme did the job when I started way back in 2017, but it's time for a refresh so I went with a couple tunes that are welcoming and relaxed, but a little funky. I hope you like it! I've also updated the intro and am moving to a monthly release schedule. These changes will start with the next episode, which drops soon.  Listen below for more details! I hope you enjoy the new sound and if you do, it would mean so much if you spread the word! Personal recommendations are one of the top ways people discover podcasts.

     There are many new players joining the ranks of ole D&D players.  Though Saul and Jolene love and think 5th edition D&D is a great game they believe that those that love and play D&D should try other RPGs.   As usual Saul tends to meander in the discussion Jolene in this episode seems to get distracted by Saul's meandering and goes along for the ride.     Thanks for listening everyone.        Music by Ron Gelinas, song Over the Horizon.   Available from Tribeofnoise.com

Talk about a bad rep. Poor Judas Thaddeus has had to contend with the shame of being confused with Judas Iscariot, the traitor who sold out Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. But somewhere along the line he was rebranded as St. Jude, the patron saint of hopeless causes. He's so popular, he's even the namesake of St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital which is devoted to treating children with cancer and finding a cure.  In today's Long Look we'll find out about the artist who created this print, Hans Baldung Grien and get a crash course on woodblock printing!

I wasn't sure I wanted to celebrate Christmas after this dumpster fire of a year. But we're starting to have some good news, so I've become cautiously optimistic.  But did I feel optimistic enough to do a holiday episode? Would anyone want to hear one? I put the question to you in Instagram (@alonglookslowart) and the answer was a resounding yes! You guys are the best! So I pulled together three past episodes on works by Jan van Eyck, Giorgione and Gilbert Stuart that reflect the season and the idea of hope and miracles. Follow these links to their page on the Gallery's site. On each Gallery page, click on the image and you'll be able to zoom in and pan around. So please join me for this extended Christmas episode of “A Long Look!” BTW, the show will go back into hibernation after this. I've got some exciting changes brewing, which I'll let you know about here and on Instagram!

I've been trying to practice gratitude this year to fight against the fear and toxicity that's felt overwhelming at times. So, I decided to make a special, extended Thanksgiving episode to share this idea with you. I chose works from former episodes by Richard Norris Brooke, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, and Aelbert Cuyp that reflect some aspect of family, generosity, or forgiveness that really resonates. I hope they help you to also step back and find balance in remembering the good things.

We've heard a lot publicly from retail tenants during the pandemic about the difficulties they are facing. In this episode of The Graffito Podcast, we invited two respected Boston landlords to give us their perspective. Leah Harsfield from National Development and Noam Ron from Hudson Group give their side of the story and don't hold back in the process. Also on this episode, Jesse informs Drew that people like “Podcast Drew” more than the real thing, and Drew confesses that the longest he can tolerate living with people is about 2 days. Needless to say, Drew understands why Podcast Drew seems so appealing. All of this and more on Episode 4!

Did you know the US government once actually paid artists to work? During the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration helped launch the career of Edward L. Loper, a prominent artist from Wilmington, Delaware. We'll find out how his lifelong curiosity, study, and teaching built a successful career lasting more than 60 years. You can see Loper's beautiful illustrations for the Index of American Design on the American Drawings page on the Gallery's site. The Index is listed in the sidebar.

Alma Thomas was a longtime art teacher in Washington DC, who began her art career after 35 years of teaching.

Welcome back to “A Long Look!” For the rest of the season, I'll be presenting paintings from the Evans-Tibbs Collection, one of the most important collections of works by Black artists in America. It was the mission of Thurlow Evans Tibbs Jr. to raise the profile of Black artists by collecting and exhibiting their work in his Washington DC gallery from the 1970s through the early '90s and by documenting their careers in an enormous archive. He inherited his love of art from his grandmother, known as Madam Evanti, the first professional African American opera singer to perform internationally. Joining me in this introductory episode is Tibbs scholar Sandy Bellamy, an adjunct art history professor at Howard University and manager of the Percent for Art Commissions program run by the Washington DC Department of General Services. Sandy takes us through the fascinating history of the collection, and the rich legacy of Black art scholarship born at Howard University decades earlier.

This colorful panel painting depicts an episode early in Jesus's career–the moment he called Peter and his brother Andrew to join his ministry. It was part of an enormous altarpiece for the cathedral of Siena. We'll find out what prompted the cathedral powers to hire Duccio, Siena's top artist and how innovative he was in depicting stories of Mary and Jesus's lives. And we meet a few friendly fish!

Salomon van Ruysdael absolutely nails the feeling of optimism, enjoyment, maybe even relief, as his fellow Dutch citizens ferry across a river on a soft spring evening. They're setting out to explore their hard-won, brand new Dutch Republic. You might remember from a previous episode about their war for independence against Spain, they spent 80 years fighting for this moment. We'll find out the ferry might have meant more than just transportation to these folks and how it came to the Gallery after a long restitution battle.

George Inness painted this scene of a train chugging through a bucolic landscape for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad to commemorate the opening of their big, new train roundhouse in Scranton PA. This hub would allow them to expand service from the Great Lakes to Hoboken NJ, right across the Hudson River from New York City. We'll find out how George fell in love with painting and how his wife's wisdom prevailed against his artistic pride! By the way, the Hoboken terminus played a role in another episode, Blue Morning by George Bellows.

To be honest, I wasn't sure how appropriate it would be to start another season of an arts podcast during the Covid-19 pandemic. But the incredibly creative work of so many museums, galleries and people around the world convinced me to join in. Because the Gallery is closed, I'll be choosing artworks on their site that allow for zooming and panning to see details. As always, you're invited to do the same! I'll include a direct link below the image in each post. The pan and zoom features work best in a desktop or tablet browser. Looking forward to sharing new long (distance) looks with all of you and hope you stay safe and healthy.

When Berthe Morisot and her sister Edma wanted to learn how to paint, their parents willingly obliged. After all, that was part of an upper-class young woman's education. But when their teacher saw their incredible talent, he warned their mother, “…they will become painters. Are you fully aware of what that means? It will be revolutionary…” And he was right! For a woman to become a professional painter was almost unheard of in 1850s Paris. But Berthe did it, even after her well-meaning mentor Édouard Manet made some…uh…improvements to this painting just before the deadline for submission to the all-important Salon. Prepare to cringe!
