    Remembering Minimalist Painter Frank Stella
    May 9 2024
    We remember painter and sculptor Frank Stella, whose early work was considered revolutionary. He died last week at age 87. Stella became famous and controversial in the 1950s for his "black paintings," which were a stark contrast to the abstract expressionism of the time, and made him one of the fathers of minimalism.

    Later, we'll feature an interview with one of the most influential early rock and roll guitarists, Duane Eddy. He also died last week.

This is a fantastic podcast

Excellent episode. There were many glitches during the playback involving jumps and skipping time etc. so it was difficult at times to follow the interview. Very frustrating and I hope Audible fixes their playback issues.
