About this listen

Dr Great Art! (Sometimes even with a "?"), Art History, Visual Metaphor, and a dash of politics. Through his podcasts and performance-lecture installations, artist and art historian Dr Mark Staff Brandl takes viewers inside visual art, art history, and visual metaphor theory. Entertainingly, yet educationally and aesthetically he presents and discusses stimulating tidbits of knowledge. Brandl stands for an understanding of art in which art historical knowledge and aesthetic pleasure merge into a new artistic experience.(c), (P) and TM 2025 Mark Staff Brandl Art World

  • Episode 78: Art, Metaphor, and Politics
    Mar 28 2025

    My podcast makes a come-back with some slight changes. I will still be talking mostly about art and art history, but will also expand my discussions regularly into visual metaphor, as I did in several recent podcast episodes, based on my recently released philosophy book, A Philosophy of Visual Metaphor in Contemporary Art, from Bloomsbury Press London. I will also be adding a short "pamphlet" section at the end of each with thoughts about recent politics, as they are so prevalent and dangerous now, and especially when they affect art and the artworld.

  • Episode 77: Visual Metaphor, William Conger

    My recently released philosophy book, A Philosophy of Visual Metaphor in Contemporary Art, from Bloomsbury Press, features short descriptions of artists and their works which I find important to visual metaphor. Here is one, one of several times I discuss the great William Conger. Get the book and read it! But here is an excerpt.
