EP22 Learning from the Masters. Kat and Lisa's visit to the GOMA

My Crazy Artist Life

If you are a fan of some of the classical masters of the art world. (think Renior, Monet, Rembrant, Cezzane and Van Gough) you will love this conversation with Lisa and Kat. They visited the GOMA's exhibition of the MET Gallery "European Masters Collection" while it was showing here in Brisbane, Australia recently. As usual this episode is FULL of all the funny moments that came about during our visit. You will laugh about or experience lining up in the queue as well as some of the best moments in our visit.
We discuss what it felt like to see our favourite artists work in real life as opposed to books and magazines, and also how the level of detail, skill and intricate detail give us an incredible amount of inspiration.
We talk about some of the traditional techniques that were used many centuries ago as well as how the conservators, carefully handled the work to bring it all the way from New York to Australia.
We saw how the styles of paintings were greatly influenced by religion, rulers and life, and how there was a transition from ultra detailed paintings of the early 1500-1600's through to almost abstract impressionist styles of the 1800's.
We talk about the importance and value in art as we discovered that the Rembrant painting was valued at $40million as well as the role of female artists in the 1800's compared with the role that they play now.
