About this episode
As a podcast listener, a few topics I enjoy are obviously art and history, but I also like true crime and really anything with a compelling story. The Art of Crime hosted by Gavin Whitehead is an incredible podcast that brings all of that together. Longtime listeners have no doubt noticed my love of modernism and my fascination with how World War 2 reshaped the art world. Today I wanted to share an episode of The Art of Crime all about Otto Dix and the attempted assassination of Hitler. I don’t want to spoil anything, but despite knowing how it all would end, I found myself on the edge of my seat as Gavin described the would-be assassin carefully chipping away at brick and mortar in the stone column, timing his hammer strikes to coincide with a passing train so as not to draw any unwanted attention. That theatrical experience shows as every episode of The Art of Crime has a compelling story.
