this portrait of Mao is pretty enigmatic, and it had me wondering why anyone would feel the need to paint it...let alone want to buy it... I spend some time describing the painting and wondering aloud about what it might mean... listen in and get my take on what I call AngryArt... I also interview an otherwise innocent bystander to hear what he thinks... I'm glad I did... but that doesn't come until the next episode, which will be part 2 of this 2 part look at this very stormy painting of Mao...

I’ll be be visiting museums and galleries and meeting individual paintings and sculptures… some of them will be old friends… but most of them will be works I’ve never met before or know anything about… and they’re all gonna be talking to me… and when you listen in on my conversations, you’ll find the art saying something interesting and personal to you, too… you’ll not only be seeing these works through my eyes and my intuition, you’re going to learn how to do this for yourself… —in ANY museum and with ANY work of art— transcripts and links at: kristo.art Special thanks to: Inaequalis for Swoon (from their  Bête Noire album) it's music that will rock your world...! licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License
