The MAN Podcast: Painters and their 1888 Kodaks

This week's Modern Art Notes Podcast features Elizabeth Easton, the curator of “Snapshot: Painters and Photography: Bonnard to Vuillard.” The exhibition, organized by the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Phillips Collection, and the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, is on view at the Phillips through May 6.

The exhibition spotlights six artists – Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, Maurice Denis, Henri Evenepoel, Henri Riviere and George Hendrik  Breitner – and examines how their use of the hand-held Kodak camera, which was introduced in 1888, informed their work.

In the program's second segment, I talk with painter Anne Appleby, one of the top colorists in American art. An exhibition of Appleby's most recent paintings is on view at New York's Danese gallery through March 10.
