Episode 1: We start by dipping our toes into the ocean of art history, with the concept of the "master narrative." Even in the age of the Internet, this narrative and its friend – artistic genius – can be pesky bedfellows to your creativity. Where does this narrative come from? Is it still relevant? And how can we keep our creativity in the present? Whether you know nothing about art, or you're an artist who just wants to be remembered after you're dead, this episode is here to offer another way of thinking about making. ••• If you want to send feedback for the episode, you can write or send audio files to lex@lexbrown.com IG: @lex_brown_ Written and produced by Lex Brown.  ••• mentioned in this episode: art, art history, creativity, motivation, mental health, spirituality, renaissance, banking, medici, vasari, kara walker, kerry james marshall, LOST, global warming, climate change  ••• © Bitwafel  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/1-800-powers/message
