Thank you for adding the title and the author of each painting on the screen! It bugs me a bit when I see a painting but I cannot look it up. Amazing work, I loved the video!
@@TheScrewdriver09😅 in tune with your technology, I see. Sometimes, we forget how powerful of a tool our daily devices are. It isn't 2nd nature for most people. Even then, it's good practice to reference. The channel creator did right by posting the title and artist. It sets a good example. Many new content creators tend to be negligent in this regard, this is part of what differentiates quality work from medoicre output.
I want to thank you not only for the video but also for the accessible English. As an English language beginner, the fact that you used slower English and the subtitles was really great to help me understand the content. Thank you very much.
Some scholars believe the Venus statue is a form of self portrait from a time before mirrors, female bodied individuals would’ve simply looked down and sculpted what they saw from their perspective, thus the exaggerated proportions.
Thank you for this great video, however neanderthals were not our ancestors as you described in the intro. They were different species, closely related to us.
Why is the French Revolution dater to 1848???? French Revolutions start 1789 would have been correct! 🧐 Their were revolutionary movements in the German regions at 1848 but with less impact on the arts...
" expressionists redefined beauty" please it is one of the most disgusting art movements And post impressionist were nothing but an envy group of guys that mocked impressionists paintings
Hi I am from Europe so this is what we learn in school mostly unless you go to university in art history lessons. If you are Asian can you tell me if they teach you only about art from your country/continent or if you learn also the history of European art in school?
@@marcobelli6856 as someone who has attended multiple classes on art history in India, we cover both eastern and western art history. I, personally have steered more towards eastern art forms and history but we learn alot about European art forms as both of them have had an major impact on the world
The craftsmanship behind the artworks, the entrancing music, and the author's voice had me nearly hypnotized. The history of art truly comes alive through such masterful presentation 🎨
Hi, it would be great if you could do this for non-western art because I feel like we aren't taught this as much. It would also be good if you could do it for Australia because there's lots of Ancient rock paintings and stuff. Thanks
@JimmothyGibbons not a complaint at all! To clarify, instead of repeating the same comment, I replyed on this one to show my support and gratitude, as well as show interest in the possibility of expanding the video into a series. I really liked how this commenter ended their comment with the word "thanks," and I took that at face value :-) I enjoyed this video and would love to see future videos about other art history movements in this format.
fun fact about the venus of willendorf! i don't remember where i read this unfortunately, but it has been theorised that the reason the features of the body are so exaggerated is because the (assumably) women making these sculptures were using their own bodies as references and the only way they could view their bodies was by looking down, which creates a similar image to that of the sculpture. so the sculpture could definitely be a symbol of fertility, but it could also just be a sculpture of a woman looking down at her own body
If the women were looking down, they would only see their breasts. I don't give much weight to that theory. Sounds like something a man would come up with, lol.
This was taught in my college cultural anthropology course. Women made these to express how they felt in their own bodies; the exaggerated breasts and stomach could reflect the hormonal changes in cycles; therefore, it makes sense that they were generally interpreted as fertility signs in art history.
This was fantastic I appreciate you mentioning towards the end the margarinalized communities that influenced these movements and artists. I would love to see a full video on that, if you haven't created it already. Thanks for sharing
Nice summary of the history of Art Movements. Having a BA in 'Arts Management' and having been born and grown up in the West Flanders region of Belgium in the 1970s and 1980s I realize that I can express my personal life experiences through the most appropriate techniques from various art movements e.g., in 1970 film cameras produced photos that made the image seem somewhat warmer because they lacked vibrancy, clarity, and saturation, while others lacked pixels, which I can express through the technique of Pointillism from the Impressionism movement. I can also express the joy of my experiences that I encountered in objects, society, and the environment through Art Nouveau techniques to express the elements of nature such as in posters of outdoor public events and performances, and its people's enriched materialistic bourgeois roots and class, architecture, and its rivers and streams that drain water from the ocean to form the gentle curve of the smooth landscape of the low land country that lies at the lower end of the ocean. This provides a taste of my childhood growing up In West Flanders Belgium that I can express through various techniques in art movements.
I really enjoyed this video and the fact that you actually noted the artists and locations. I also appreciated the mention of other not-so-celebrated artists who influenced these movements
I can't believe this video only has 8000 views, I have a test in art history tomorrow and this summarized everything so well! It was straight forward, interesting and really well done. tysm!!
3:43 regarding specifically the Orthodox Christian church in medieval times, they decorated the icons in gold and jewels not to "attract more people to the church" but because one, gold was a symbolic representation of the luminosity of Christ, other-worldliness of the saints, and heaven, and two, the people would donate their personal rings and jewelry as a sign of thanksgiving and deep veneration to the person depicted in the icon, which would then be melted down and used to decorate or plate the icon with the precious metals and jewels. All of the materials used have symbolic meaning. (this applies to many churches as well) Just a bit to add :)
I know a lot about Art History, but the way you put the video together made it seem like I was learning something new. I even rewatched parts several times. The voice-over, background music, subject matter, research, locations, and inspirations... very well done! I look forward to watching more of your content. Subscribed 🙂
this video went by so fast i love it! art has always fascinated me and while i’m not sure what i want to do with my life i think i want to pursue a career in art history but i’m not sure if there are any specific jobs, any thoughts? thanks :)!
Great video, sadly the short duration makes it so you have to leave out a lot of influencial movements (especially from the impressionism onwards), particularly, there’s a lot more to say about the “postimpressionists”, especially about Cezanne, which influenced all of the modernist art that came after . You also practicaly left out all of the architecture tendencies that came after the bauhaus. To anyone interested in a more thorough insight on art movements i advice to check out “Fauvism” and Matisse, “Suprematism” and “constructivism” for a better look on russian avant-garde, “rationalism”, “functionalism” and the reactions to them for a deeper dive into architecture, Mondrian and “Neoplasticism”, totalitarian art and the “degenerate art exhibition” (it seems as WW2 has been completely left out of this overview of art movements). For the post ww2 movements check out “informel”, New Dada and Nouveau Realisme, Performance art, Arte Povera, Process Art (diverse reactions to the minimalist approach). About the last part take a look at conceptual art and postmodernism, it will help give you a better understanding of what art has become and where it’s heading, and maybe you will appreciate it more. Nonetheless, for the little time you had to condense all of this movements, it was a great video for an introductory overview, well done!
I am glad and I am lucky that I can see this comment among the 500 plus. I will definitely check out everything you mentioned. I think her video is to outline the entire art history by using only art movements rather than including all the phenomenons, art styles, or philosophical concepts. A little focus streamlines the video to make it organized and easy to follow or to set up a basic art history system. I am sure what I said had many misunderstandings, so I didn't mean to argue, just a little thought or sort of a little question/confusion.
I went to art College 40 years ago and considered myself informed … - only at 56 now looking back at the art history I used to bunk off am I realising how important it is to understand it …. better late than never 😊- this video was brilliant in that the jigsaw puzzle of knowledge I thought I had was put together with a far better linked understanding than I had before - thank you so much - I now know what I didn’t know that I didn’t know 😂 ❤thanks 👍
Only 60k views and 4.5k subs? That's criminal for the production quality of this video. Subbed and liked and looking forward to your videos. This was very concise and masterfully written, can't wait for future posts!
I am sitting my Art History exams today and this genuinly made me interested in it. The video considers art in its most fundamental form, a way to communicate. And this genuinly makes me interested in the lives and mindsets of the people who lived in the past, it's so fascinating what they came up with by what was around them, unable to look at the internet or countless books
my lord youtube, you really are a good director , music, voice over, all the images and transittion are all mixed in such harmonious way ! Thank you, unlike the heavily fast edited videos that aim to retain viewer by punching and punching, but over time build up a habit or creating ADHD to viewers making few of us skipping 10s 20s 50s in the videos. But this one, so relaxing that i feel like watching it not just put it play in background. thank you
This is a fantastic video in which everything is explained in crystal clear way. Would you please like to confirm me that are these movements from the background of modern painting? I would appreciate a quick reply as early as possible. Thanks. Giving so many blessing 2 u for creating such an amazing video for all of us. Thanks a lot 4 ur time n effort.
This was fantastic 👏🏾 I appreciate you mentioning towards the end the margarinalized communities that influenced these movements and artists. I would love to see a full video on that, if you haven't created it already. Thanks for sharing 💕
The video was researched and laid out well, but I had to mute it and use captions part way in - that endless looping music over and over and over and over was about to drive me crazy
First of all, thank you very much for this informative video and the precious time you have spent to prepare it. This is my first time commenting on RU-vid, but it's not just to say thank you, because others have done it right much better than me. I wanted to say that this is also the first time I have read every single comment on a RU-vid video (except for the few that were not in English). I think it's a bit unfair to criticize not including other art movements, women artists, other artistic cultures, etc. Specifically, I would like to say that although the short time of this video and its brevity did not allow a comprehensive look at the non-Western world, it is really unjust to accuse this channel of being 'Eurocentric'; Because I am Iranian, and I have watched another extremely helpful video about the history of Persian art here (I also know that you have made another video about the history of Japanese art). In short, I hope more positive points are seen, not a few negatives. And a final personal comment: those who blame the video for being one-sided (and by implication biased) are mostly whining about why their favorite art or culture, or that of their homeland, is not covered. So, I'm sorry to say that these people themselves look more one-sided. Cheers! 😊
Жінок чомусь немає майже як творців... Я нарахувала аж дві. Мистецтво не закінчилось на просто "сьогоднішньому арті", тепер існує 3д мистецтво/діджитал арт. Ми переходимо в метавсесвіт і робимо виставки там. Сучасні митці продають свої творіння як нфт. А ще ви забули про конструктивізм, супрематизм, бруталізм, ітд. Забули про величезний пласт мистецтва 20го століття😢
This was AMAZING. This was exactly what i was looking for, I am regular museum goer but I hardly remember the lessons from high school and one or two art classes I took in college. I want to get reacquainted with painting styles, artists and eras. I think I've found the place
Hello! Thank you for the video. A small correction, if I may: at 10:43 you mention expressionism in poetry with the example of Heinrich Heine’s “Where?” dated 1916. But Heine was from the Romantic Movement, and this poem was written somewhere between 1828-1844 as far as I’m aware. Cheers!
Looking at the architecture, paintings, and relics of various art works of each country There were some works of art that I knew, but there were also new works that I didn't know. There were works that I learned in school art class, and there were many wonderful works that I encountered for the first time through this video! Watching the video, I was able to learn new and appreciate wonderful works of art from each period. As the times changed, I could see many paintings in which the techniques 10224 최수하
Loved the content, and how well the presentation is designed, even user interface wise. That red line and dot seperator and those labels!!! Absolutely amazing.
Would you have an art history review that is appropriate for kids, and that includes more cultures than US and European (Asian, Eastern, etc.)? Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video. You put it together so thoughtfully, and I loved that you gave the art context of what was happening at the time surrounding it.
To anyone who is newly into art, or traveling around Europe,if you ever have the chance, visit Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence. I know there are lots of popular museums and art galleries around here but if you only get the chance to visit one, it should be this. Personally, the Louvree doesnt even come close. The Uffizis feature mostly renaissance, and the art collection was started by the Medici. Besides all of the extraordinary paintings, there is so much history there. It is mesmerizing!
I feel like modern art could be called something like "individualism", where, thanks to the internet, everyone has their own stage to present themselves, leaving everybody kind of just doing their own thing and creating whatever and however they like
Modern art was made up of lots of movements, like cubism, expressionism or dada, which were all about groups with shared ideas and goals. So I don’t think they could all be describe as individualistic
I love this video! It's informative and digestible! I always had a hard time remembering the timeline of these art movements in the chronological order. And yet, because of how you organized and created the video, I've definitely gained a clearer understanding of it. Thank you!
Having everything laid out like this so concisely really helped me to confirm my opinion that the more politics is contained within art/art movements, the less I enjoy it.
