Join art historian Jo McLaughlin as she delves into the wonderful world of art history in a fun and accessible way Jo’s aim is to begin breaking down the elitism which surrounds the subject of art history and believes in order to do so, it’s important to create a space where everyone from all walks of life have the opportunity to talk about art that is meaningful to them; as let’s face it, if you are passionate about something, you are going to be good at talking about it! Painting, sculpture, architecture, jewellery, ceramics, design – no subject is off-limits on Jo’s Art History Podcast.

episode 13: 13. Alexander McQueen & The Sublime
Welcome to episode 13 of the Jo's Art History Podcast.
Unlucky for some, but not today, as Jo sits down with art and fashion historian Robert McCaffrey to discuss one of Britain's best loved designers - Alexander McQueen and his love/exploration of the sublime.
Art and fashion have an interesting way of infusing and Robert takes Jo through the concept of the Sublime, McQueen's inspirations from within the history of art and just how he channeled them during his catwalk presentation for his collection No.13.
During the podcast Jo mentions Robert's paper which he has written for the Fashion Studies Journal, you can read Robert's paper: Alexander McQueen: The Sublime and the Melancholy, here. You will not regret it.
