The Kimbell Art Museum, owned and operated by the Kimbell Art Foundation, is internationally renowned for both its collections and for its architecture. The Kimbell's collections range in period from antiquity to the 20th century and include European masterpieces by artists such as Fra Angelico, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Poussin, Velázquez, Monet, Picasso and Matisse; important collections of Egyptian and classical antiquities; and the art of Asia, Africa and the ancient Americas.
The museum's 1972 building, designed by the American architect Louis I. Kahn, is widely regarded as one of the outstanding architectural achievements of the modern era. A second building, designed by world-renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, opened in 2013.

The room for such great in artistic and historical quality and big in size tapestries was obviously too small to observe them properly. Armor made it even more crowded. This was the first time when I saw a great exhibition compounded to fit the place and not to make it good for visitors. To see tapestries in whole and in parts, read the high-class provided materials needed time and place. It was hard to do. Some armor was positioned in such way that it was hard to see details. Kimbel has an adjacent room that could be used for armor display in this situation. Altogether that was a great exhibition as it is always in Kimbell! Thank you! P.S. I tried to find what is “The Museum Box” and couldn’t, a mystery!
Maybe we could not hear the audience well, or they were all sitting on pegs to keep them in their seats. I truly appreciate your passion and humor making this lecture bearable, even enjoyable. I love everything about all of this art, I just have trouble listening to those who think they know all the answers. This speaker was easy to listen to! Very clear, and artistic. I wonder if he writes books. Point is I appreciate a good story teller. Before I sound gay, I will digress.
I wasnt thst impressed with this version of girls on a bridge after just seeing pictures of it. I thought it looked flat. However seeing it on your video ive changed my opinion its wonderful. You can really see the brushmarks and the paint much more clearly. It looks much better. My favourite version is the earlier one with the girl without a face.
I was just there today with a friend. These tapestries were breathtaking in their scope, detail, and preservation. Thanks so much for bringing them here for us to see.
He gets some specific points wrong. Armor did not cover every inch of your body. There are always gaps. In battlefield armor anyway. The plate of Agincourt was not balanced with the bow. Bows could not shoot through plate armor. Unless it was very poorly made. Great presentation though.
Very cool presentation. It's good to see these things being taught about, it would be cool if you produced videos solely for online as an extrapolation of these in-person presentations
@@nickidaisydandelion4044 but it’s Like the Christians who have been saying that since Jesus died. He’s coming back! They been saying it for 2,000 years. He still ain’t back! It could be in 100 years 1,000 years or 10,000 years. Unless you have any hard evidence about when or where it just ruins our culture
@@JaySoul711 If people saw who Jesus soul is today they would never recognize the soul they would think that's just another bleeding heart person they think bleeding heart people are weak they don't recognize kindness as something worthy.
@@nickidaisydandelion4044 Correct. We are all reincarnated back into other human beings. The bad thing is bad people reincarnate back into humans too. Thats why earth never sees peace.
I find the Kahn building exquisite….the Piano building….like the Whitney is stark and cold. The Kahn building is beautiful and enlivens my spirit. Piano’s building is like a factory

Lovely compilation! At @26:13 we are talking about the creation of the New World and the start of the Long Count in 3114 BC, which ended on December Solstice, 2012, a 5,125 year cycle that is exactly 1/5 of the Precession of the Equinoxes, and exactly 144,000 days long, or 7,200 cycles of the 260-day Tzolk' een calendar.
I wonder if the firefly holding the cigar in the codex style vessels with Chak, jaguar baby, and death are referencing back or at least alluding to the popol vuh?
