Claes Oldenburg (encore)
from Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages · host Kyle Wood
Claes Oldenburg (1929-2022), the Swedish-born American sculptor, wasn't your typical artist. He wasn't interested in grand figures or historical scenes. Instead, he found inspiration in the most unexpected places: the everyday objects that cluttered our lives. His art, a blend of Pop Art and gigantic whimsy, continues to transform cityscapes around the world. I am taking some time off to rest over the summer. I will be putting encore presentations of previous episodes to make it easy for those who subscribe to the feed to discover or rediscover some great artists/works. I will be back with new episodes right around back to school season. Related Episodes: Andy Warhol Roy Lichtenstein Yayoi Kusama Listen Ad-Free on Patreon.
