Janet Sobel

from Who Arted: Weekly Art History for All Ages · host Kyle Wood

When you think of bold and revolutionary modern artists from the 20th century, you probably don't think of a grandmother laying across her living room floor painting, but maybe you should. Janet Sobel was a Ukrainian American painter who was dripping paint across the canvas long before Jackson Pollock "invented" the technique. Other artists mentioned in this episode: ⁠Jackson Pollock⁠ ⁠Alexander Calder⁠ ⁠Norman Rockwell⁠ ⁠Roy Lichtenstein⁠ ⁠Georgia O'Keeffe This is an encore presentation. Every January/February, I release daily episodes to refresh everyone's memory on the 64 artists and artworks that will be included in my Arts Madness Tournament held in March.
