In this episode, we discuss the long history of bathing, bathrooms, toilets, and bodily functions portrayed in Western Art.
We touch on latrinalia, Immersion (Piss Christ) by the American artist and photographer Andres Serrano, and a rather unusual painting by 16th-century Venetian painter Lorenzo Lotto. We interview some of you about what kind of art you have in your bathroom and why, and we have a fascinating conversation with art historian Sarah Kleinman of Virginia Commonwealth University.
