I'm Nancy Langham-Hooper- art historian, PhD and future anarchist granny. My goal on this channel is to make you feel better, one work of art at a time.
I upload every other Monday - subscribe to the channel and support me as I begin my arduous journey as a RU-vidr. :-)
To say this art is about sex seems far to simplistic, i’d say its more of a cautionary story about lust, temptation , vice and the nature of man. While plenty of sex is suggested there is in fact only one pretty well hidden “sex” act actually being performed. My favorite interpretation of the music scene is that non church music is “ass” Basically Bosch us saying the tavern music is shit and leads you to a wicked death.
However, inthe time when Bosch was alive & probably before there were many out breaks of ergot poisoning which is caused by a fungus that grows on rye during damp conditions...the poisoning happens when a person eats contaminated grains or bread that has been baked with these contaminated grains that was used to make the flour that made the bread. Ergot fungus grows on rye & wheat. The ergot fungus contains a number of highly poisonous & psy hoactive alkaloids, including lysergic acid (LSD). Ergot poisoning is a proposed explanation of the Salem witch hunts & bewitching. And maybe at the root of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings.
maybe the left panel was earth as god intended. And as the right panel was hell, perhaps the center panel is heaven: just lots of good stuff - fantastical architecture, sex, eating sweets (fruit), having fun and laughing at people acting silly like putting things on their heads (fruit). I really enjoyed your video. thank you.
What modernistic nonsense. If everything is art, then nothing is art. At its core, art is a demanding discipline, and it is exactly this discipline that separates it from everything else. Throwing bowling balls on a keyboard isn't playing piano, and putting a chair next to wall isn't art. The stupid, it hurts...
Lowkey, Bosch had to be enigmatic AF and he got away with a LOT. LOOK at this painting-he should have caught shite.The 'nice' garden is STILL HELL. It was hellish from the word go. They are NOT having a good time-look at their eyes. The ones who show joy are not..normal.
Why am I choosing a 2 year old video to voice my question? Who knows, wish me luck. As someone who doesnt always grasp all of the unspoken social rules of the world, Is it socially acceptable for me to wear my baby in a carrier to an art gallery? Is it something I should just hold off for a few years until I regain my own time?
Jag har hört att en kommunist kom på "internationella kvinnodagen", och därför skulle jag säga att alla hjärtans dag (14:e februari) är mer lämplig för att berätta om kvinnliga konstnärer. I have heard that a communist came up with "international women's day", and thus, I would say that February fourteenth, all hearts day, is a better day to tell of women artists.
Have seen a couple of Nancy Langham-Hooper's videos, enjoyed them greatly and learned from them. She is knowledgeable, low-key, and well worth viewing. Over many many years of visiting museums - art and otherwise - have come to some of the conclusions she points out - and I learned a few things as well in this vid, such as about art museum etiquette - like getting too close. Oops - sorry! Also appreciated her observation about visiting briefly and often, and that "I have basically a two hour limit - if I get like some good cake in between those hours" (4:02-4:09). Since I live about an hour's drive to the Phoenix Art Museum, by the time I get there what I really want to do is have some tea or coffee in the Temporary Cafe and read for awhile. After that's out of my system, I just wander, usually to my favorite sections, and may visit for an hour - or less. At my age, I'm happy just being in the presence of my favorites for several minutes for each, and then walk around and see other things. Thanks Nancy for bringing the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation to our attention!
I am a street photographer. Many French Impressionists painted images like this, an image that could have been created by a street photographer. This image is dense in imagery. Mask On Nurse Marty (Ret)
Very deep painting it speaks many languages It has so many twists and turns Poussin was a Master I’ve spent many days and nights Spellbound by its illusion
Having gone to art school and fascinated by art history, not only were women artists ignored but every was focused on the italian renaissance. Northern renaissance,byzantine and medieval art was seen as just an inferior stepping stone….islamic art was totally ignored and all asian art except Japanese prints
I do not think this is art. The only reason why her bed is appreciated is because rich galleries, rich white european people and rich millionaires buy stupid objects really expensive so they can sell it even mor eexpensier in the future. At the end of the day the important thing in this stupid art is money.
5:51 I strongly believe that the monkies could be allegorical to the evil or ignorant forces that threatened her state, given the fact that her short (in respect to modern life-span expectancies) life existed during the tumultuous Mexican revolution. In American culture, monkies tend to have a negative connotation and being called a monkey is sort of an insult, alluding to sub-par IQ and ability. The monkies could her attempt to symbolize an incompetent and apathetic medical staff that may have disregarded her capability to recover after the critical injury from the bus accident, or, could have no real symbolism to her medical staff at all. However, it is really important to consider how this event drastically influenced her painting, as a therapeutic past-time or as a cathartic release for her immobility. Herself is almost always a subject of her paintings, this may he alluding to her feelings of alienation from society as whole whether that be due to gender, sexuality or religion or possibly from her catastrophic injury. Maybe, she is just trying to challenge herself by painting something difficult. Movement seems to be a constant motif in all her paintings and most if not all of her paintings almost trick the eye of the observer to convey a degree of movement, like film. Also, the bright colors and necessity to fill so much of her painting with subjects may be reflective of the vibrancy and culture of the Mexican culture itself, *SMACK* (o todas es trabaja de Diego)
At this exact moment, I am sitting in front of this painting, my all-time-favorite piece from my all-time-favorite artist. The very last part made my tears come out. After all these years, I finally made my way to the front of Renoir, at Musee d’Orsay. It is a truly incredible, incredible moment. The open brush, the smiles, the light, and the shadow, and the “music and dance and convos in my head” really bring me real happiness, beyond words, as always.
5:00 in Paris all museum grant you access free to high resolution images of the Art pieces if you dont use them for commercial purposes but only scolar purposes
The first panel represents mankind before we were corrupted with sin, perfect and eternal. The second panel represents where we are now, the Earth, living with sin and heading towards death. The third panel is Hell, where we all go if we are not saved by renouncing sin.
