Alexander Nemerov is the Chair of the Department of Art and Art History at Stanford University. Throughout our recording, it became apparent that a lot of his work is analyzing fiction and poetry alongside visual art. His nuanced language drew pictures of life that visualized his beliefs and experiences. It was a beautiful, at times maybe even overwhelming talk due to the abundance of thoughts to ponder upon, leaving us thankful and excited. We talked to him about his eventful path of life and the influences of his famous father and aunt, how not knowing can be a guidestar for life and about the beauty of ordinary moments and what to take from them. And of course about art.
The book he talks about in the podcast: George Elliot – Middle March
