Listen "Breaking the Boxes"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we challenge the traditional labels of art history—Renaissance, Baroque, and beyond—and their Eurocentric limitations. Inspired by scholars like Gombrich, we explore how periodization oversimplifies the richness of global art and propose alternative frameworks like “problem situations” and thematic connections. From Aztec art to the Italian Renaissance, discover how breaking free from rigid categories can reveal surprising connections and new ways of understanding the dynamic story of art.
