A History of Art in Color 

nice to see people still interested and study Art History Well done

Emotionally warm and rich presentation. Thank you.

When painting in oils, a painter must add linseed oil to the pigment so that the paint will adhere to the canvas. When a painter thins his pigments to transparent washes with mineral spirits or turpentine, without incorporating linseed oil, as Rothko is said to have done, the paint will eventually dry to to be simply colored dust, once the moisture evaporates. Rothko's technique and misuse of materials is said to have contributed to the fading and and eventual disintegration of some paintings. It is disappointing that the speaker did not discuss this in his remarks on Rothko.

Simply beautiful

A comprehensive, enriching and interesting lecture. Thanks.

Incredible presentation!!

Beautifully written and presented

no subtitles or option for auto-generated ones?

Are the Fra Angelico drawings in The MFA collection?? I can't find them in Google search!😒

This lecture was also great when I saw it as a BBC presentation by someone else - who cribbed off whom?

ASMR, anyone?

No one who says Velasqwez can possibly be considered an expert on art.

If you can't paint...paint big If you can't paint big...paint RED🤣

If the speaker loves colour so much...and in his case blue, why does he (and lots of men) wear a GREY suit ?...lol.

Earth Rise 😂

he talks very monotonously

Thought was a LECTURE... NOT... the READINGOF A BEDTIME Story! FULL of misprounctiations!!
