Ep. 50 - Carrie Mae Weems' "Not Manet's Type" (1997)

To appreciate art history is to appreciate that there is a canon:
it is constructed by art historians, it guides what is taught,
bought, and collected by art museums, it can’t allow people in
without keeping other people out. Let's take advantage of this
milestone episode (50!!) to explore both this canon and our current
moment through the extraordinarily nuanced, compassionate, and
revolutionary eye of Carrie Mae Weems. See the images:
