Re-ReleaseEp. 49 - Claes Oldenburg's "Giant Toothpaste Tube" (1964)
\u201cI am for the art of underwear and the art of ice cream cones dropped on concrete. I am for an art that is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself.\u201d\n\nToday, the art world - and, as he would attest, the world world too - lost a giant, and we're re-releasing our episode from September 2020 in his honor. RIP, Claes Oldenburg, and thank you for plucking art from its spotless frame and returning it to our messy, magnificent plane. Hope you're enjoying that great big floor pie in the sky.\n\nSee the images:\nbit.ly/3hcHjVq\n\nMusic used:\nDjango Reinhardt, \u201cDjango\u2019s Tiger\u201d\nThe Andrews Sisters, "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen"\nThe Blue Dot Sessions, \u201cCradle Rock,\u201d \u201cSylvestor,\u201d \u201cA Little Powder,\u201d \u201cOur Only Lark,\u201d \u201cTown Market,\u201d \u201cContrarian,\u201d \u201cThe Rampart\u201d\nJoe Dassin, \u201cLes Champs-Elysees"\n\nSupport the show:\nwww.patreon.com/lonelypalette
