Manage episode 377577596 series 2876441
In this episode, Frauke sits down with art historian, author and educator Dr. Christina Bradstreet to discuss her new book Scented Visions: Smell in Art, 1850-1914, where she examines the iconography and symbolism of scent in nineteenth-century art and visual culture. Christina shares why she chose this specific time period; what was happening culturally and politically, and more specifically how the sense of smell was perceived. She explains the role smell/scent played in communicating what artists of that time were trying to convey, including the portrayal of women & female beauty, racialized constructions of femininity in “Orientalist” scenes, and stereotypical portrayals of race, class, and sexuality. This is a beautiful conversation that will have you looking at paintings in new ways.
