Listen "Scaling Art"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore the profound role of scale in art and how it shapes perception, meaning, and emotional impact. From Sildo Mireles’ tiny Southern Cross to Michelangelo’s Madonna of the Stairs, we examine how scale challenges our assumptions about size and importance. We delve into tools like porphyry and techniques like the close-up, uncovering how artists manipulate scale to evoke intimacy or grandeur. As digital technology reshapes our relationship with size, this episode invites you to rethink how scale influences the way we see art and the world.
