Listen "Art as a Mirror"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore how art reflects and shapes society across time, from the Counter-Reformation to modern consumerism. We discuss Caravaggio’s intense realism, Manet’s bold defiance, and Warhol’s critiques of celebrity culture, uncovering how artists respond to the anxieties, values, and politics of their eras. Through vivid examples, we examine art’s power to provoke thought, challenge norms, and reveal the complexities of the human experience. Discover how art serves as both a window to history and a mirror to our present.
