Fire in My Belly

In this episode I have a conversation with Jonathan Vair Duncan about Francis Bacon, one of the most important painters in the 20th century.

In episode 3 we are talking the aloof and misunderstood 20th century painter, Gluck. I go over their interesting luxurious lifestyle as well as propose my own theory that Gluck was likely trans and has been attributed incorrectly since their death. Lots of unearthing to do!

In this episode we are going into the life, love, and tragedy of Frida Kahlo. She is maybe the most original artist of the 20th century and her self portraits are incredibly compelling but tender.
