About Sarah Hoover
Welcome to Study Hall With Sarah Hoover: art history musings that you’ll never read on a dusty old man’s bookshelf. This is a newsletter for the people who always wanted to take an art history class, or took one years ago and are anxious to dive back in. It’s for the people who linger by every piece at a museum and wonder what the fuck was happening in the artist’s mind and heart while they were creating it. It’s for those of you who recognize that a lot of that art was born from trauma, and that feminist art in particular has a deep history, chock full of stories needing to be told.
Each week, I’ll offer some brief and never dull historical context, plunging into the world of an artist and how it informed their work. I’ll keep things conversational and culturally relevant, and my goal is to leave you feeling just as obsessed with art making– in all of its glorious complexity– as I am.
