Okay, welcome back to ArtHoles. My name is Michael Anthony and this is the

podcast about art and art history with someone who has absolutely no authority

to speak on these topics. I'm putting it up front because I know I'm going

Instagram and that's where I'm going to be posting all of the art for this episode as

well. And you can reach me at Art Hole's Podcast at gmail.com if you have any

questions, want to yell at me or have any good suggestions for any artist to cover.
