Part of what makes Rader’s account so popular is the speed at which he is able to produce the comparisons. Perhaps more impressive is that Rader is able to do this without formal training in art history — he just has a good memory.
“I took a class in college, but nothing official outside of that. I’ve spent a significant amount of time in museums and galleries, and a lot more in Wikipedia wormholes. So while I’m not classically trained in art history, I’ve definitely seen and captured a lot,” he explains. “I have around 10,000 photos of art on my phone that I’ve taken, and fairly extensive knowledge of famous paintings even if I haven’t photographed them in person. So when I see a sports image, sometimes I have a pretty good sense of what it would be — I’ve started to realize that I have kind of a photographic memory of images that I’ve taken — right off the bat,” Rader continues.
