Episode 486 | What would you Expect from a Sculptor?

This is a podcast, dedicated to the art history of a sculptor, Joe Brown, and a discussion of the technical use of bronze in sculptures. When viewing Brown's larger-than-life bronze of two gymnasts, both sculptures should have been nude, but as a response to feminist complaints. The male is placed on a pedestal and is covered in shorts to protect his anatomy while the woman is unclothed and held high over his head in a dramatic handstand. What should have Joe Brown done instead? Should affection for aesthetic qualities be an issue? Should both be clothed or unclothed? Listen to this podcast that will capture an amazing discussion of Joe Brown’s background and why he would’ve done this in the first place.
