Loved this video! And been shown some cool tips on how to analyze references and allocate all the colors. Cool to know that warm colors tend to move toward your eyes and cold colors tend to recede.
Excellente présentation, merci Lilian, vous êtes très pédagogue et surtout votre analyse est très claire et très fine. En plus votre énorme travail de documentation et cette très belle composition rendent votre travail superbe et agréable à suivre. Bravo+++
Please make more videos like this on artists that highschoolers are writing their exams on❤ you do it so well, and we as students barely have resources in art. This is so helpful, I'm sure the channel will grow! It's kind of like the Miss Angler, but for visual arts

@@thisperson6219 Yes, we have a video on Willie Bester. He is incredible and deals with shocking real-life issues. I am currently busy with Keith Haring and some other international artists since they up the algorithm for the channel way more. (Amount of Views) But I realise gathering info on SA artist is near impossible and what is needed most.

I'm surprised you didn't go further and mention the resurgence of his style in the 1960s as a result of the Mondrian-inspired dress by Yves Saint Laurent that sparked the interest of a new generation.
Haha. I am so passionate about art history that my videos could be an hour long. I cut this video down from 30 mins. I do have an image of that dress in the video.
