If only this was available to me for the 12 years I spent every Saturday in Ukrainian school learning this in Ukrainian and having to read it Ukrainian history books’
Thank you for this interesting commentary. I quite agree that dynatic portraits should be seen and analysed as political statements as well as artistic ones. In this case I feel it's instructive to compare it with another Tudor dynastic portrait, also confusingly entitled 'The family of Henry VIII', I mean the one dated c.1545, i.e. during Henry's lifetime. If I remember correctly the original was destroyed in a fire but there is a surviving copy in Hampton Court Palace. This later one reads almost like a kind of 'update' of that earlier one. In that one Edward, as the designated heir, is given much more prominence and made to look older than he was at the time, whereas in this retrospective one he is still closest to Henry, but he is shown much smaller relative to the other figures (roughly as he would have been at his accession rather than at his death, I think), and partly hidden behind Elizabeth. As in the earlier picture, Mary and Elizabeth are shown at the sides, but here they are much closer to Henry's throne, and Elizabeth appears as the largest figure. Omissions are also interesting: none of Henry's wives is shown (by 1590 they were a painful memory best forgotten, I suppose) and Jane Grey (whom Elizabeth regarded as a usurper and not a legitimate monarch) is also omitted, despite being protestant.
@@SeanDelaney-so3pr Thank you so much! i've just read her wiki and she had an impressive life. Actually my 1st language is french and apparently a French-brazilian publishing company sells Translations of her Books in France! If you have other names, please don't hesitate!
Contemporary art can be its own worst enemy. Non-paint practitioners often make fools of themselves in the name of "progress", "radicalism" and "creativity". If you call yourself a contemporary artist and you can't draw or paint then the chances are, you are an idiot. Thank you to Jenny for sharing her wisdom.
Oh my God, escaped the colony of Russian resources and opportunities at low prices a quarter of this world creaves for and fallen in the colonial multi-national corporations that are buying all the Ukrainean Government backed assets at low prices transforming Ukraine in a 4th world country that will have to rent its assets and buy its resources from the market, the most subtle form of neocolonialism and neoimperialism. Even the Afrtican countries are now exiting this hidden system with the help af who?!!?!?!? RUSSIA my frends. Ukraine fell from the boiling bowl into the frying pan.
Love the beauty of hand crafted art but it’s only for the rich, which Morris grow up in a wealthy family. It didn’t help the poor who worked in the factories. It’s the same today, with the young idealistic rich, who eat and wear only organic . They drive expensive electric cars etc unfortunately the problems of the homeless poor are being ignored, because it’s to overwhelming, so they leave it to big government, which is unable and unwilling to make a real difference. 😢
Very interesting to know the process of making art by Cornelia Parker. Very interesting to know her next project what is about . Thanks a lot to her generosity to let the public know about her wonderful work.
What a tragic human being. Tragic. Sordid. Godless. Without hope. ”that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.“…..Ephesians 2:12.
You are an amazing woman. Such an inspiration. Brillian brilliant brillant. I would love to study with you. I am 54 and have just started painting and you make me vibrate!!!
great discussion, i enjoyed it. I live in one of the flats that occupies the land where Lady Boughton's flower circles once were, so i stumbled upon your video by chance.
Love Peter Doig’s work and love that he included Denzil Forrester’s painting in there, which was superb. Didn’t Peter Doig move back to London? Recent work at Courtould.
Sorry that my comment was not deemed interesting to you, he says sarcastically! But just there, I was responding to a point in the video as if there was a lack of this! Like people do in discussions, 'well, hey. that's not so...' Can you be honest to yourself and then to me as to why you make this absurdly inappropriate question? Anything more than my comment irritated you in some way!? Thank you... @@mariad9026
I was in pain when I heard he was lost on the mountain. So horrible. I kept checking the news everyday to see if he was found and alright. It stills hurts. I would have loved to have met him. He's inspiring. Night Sun is one of my favourite movies.
I enjoyed this so much. I have great admiration for Celia Paul and how she adapted her life so that she could have a child without having to give up her calling as a painter. I found it touching when she spoke of the pain she often felt at the separation she had brought about between herself and her son. I honestly feel that highly creative women have the cards stacked against them. As Celia says, it has to be one or the other. Thank you for this wonderful conversation.
Sure wish that these brilliant people were flashing images on the wall behind them to visually illustrate the ideas and places that they're talking about!
A self-promoting overrated producer of misery and rubbish. Endlessly name dropping and attempting to link herself to Edvard Munch. A joke in and of itself.
I loved that she brings up other aspects & knowledge of society into her art. It makes it so her art is a reflection of our inner minds & commentary of our world, and not just a pretty picture to sell at a gallery.
