What was an artist thinking when he or she created a piece? What should you know about African, Asian, or European art? And why is a certain work of art important? A series of two-minute radio broadcasts on the visual arts may help answer these and other questions. Brief, lively art moments--pictures painted with words--focus on works of art and artists, materials, and techniques.
Art on the Air includes artist and curator interviews.
