I LOVE Andrew Graham-Dixon. He's the David Attenborough of art.

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

As an artist, painter, in THIS modern age, I'd SO love to have those "friends in high places" now.

@galeriarossmore2057 11 лет назад

Always a joy listening to Andrew Graham-Dixon!! Thankyou Andrew!!

@furdiebant 8 лет назад

Excellent as always from the soon to be knighted (I hope) Mr Graham-Dixon.

@DSDMovies 12 лет назад

Andrew Graham-Dixon is a great man. Watch all his stuff on the BBC, even when it's about something I didn't think I'd be interested in, I end up being interested. His series on American art for BBC is great.

@NelSpringrose 12 лет назад

This man is a captivating story teller. I wish he was my history teacher!

@brianwyse5810 3 года назад

he can be, just search is lectures.

@sundersart 12 лет назад

Caravaggio of Life sacred and profane very well done

@nox5870 4 года назад

He was a troubled man but he had a remarkable artistic vision.

@TheGerogero 12 лет назад

Fascinating.

@AlexanderRM2010 12 лет назад

In addition to discovering Caravaggio, founding opera, and being the principle sponsor to Galileo, Cardinal Del Monte was reknown for his canned peaches in light syrup.

@icl4ntic 12 лет назад

Art is wonderful.

@PsykoRubix 12 лет назад

id suppose its easy to see why , as a standalone the paintings would not hav gone far, yet considering the sociological implications in a world wher that kind of thing was being phased as an active social life, being portrayed through art at the same time as having the connections to those higher up (which observe it), is porbably a major breakthrough in the basis of modern marketing

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@PyroTyger well put, thank you Pyro. here's a topic for meaningful discussion: It's always been interesting to me how intwined politics, religion and community status was, even back in Caravaggio's time - not sure anything has changed, except for the fact that the artist had to work for these elite and espouse their message outright. hmmm, mad marketing genius indeed . . .

@AonGuardian 12 лет назад

To me, Caravaggio's life would make a good book/movie adaptation.

@MrDoremouse 12 лет назад

The man Del Monte, he say, ''Yes.''

@totheway 12 лет назад

This blokes brilliant

@PyroTyger 12 лет назад

Big Think is a very special channel with a lot of varied, interesting and thought-provoking topics covered by able and informed speakers. If you don't have any interest in the subject being discussed (or the speaker,) please move on and don't spam the comments section. It makes it much harder for others to engage in meaningful discussion, and you're dragging the whole channel down as a result.

@idkmybffjill258 12 лет назад

I heard the big think tune on a commercial, and now I want to know what it is called

@Dexter_jwick 12 лет назад

i dint know about carvaggio.... i knew the painting "boy with a basket fo fruit" i remember.... interesting video anyway

@PocketDetective 12 лет назад

@Terminatification Very smart!

@GabrielSparkletits 12 лет назад

I've never actually been interested to listen to an art critic until now. Excluding Jay Sherman of course.

@dom54 12 лет назад

this guy reminds me of Steve Coogan

@AlexanderRM2010 12 лет назад

I'm a cheese-eating vulgarian.

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@BrokenBjartur well stated.

@zenoleoni3751 4 года назад

The Notorious A.G.D. GOAT art critic.

@KodyAWSOME 12 лет назад

anyone else hear the cop cars in the background in the beginning?

@vintageozarks 12 лет назад

Andrew Graham-Dixon is art. I read his bio on his website and there was nothing in his life that is not about art. I am inclined to believe, however, that he was selected by those in high places to be obsessively critical of rare art works and artists. He lacks a certain amount of humanism. Therefore, his interpretation of artwork and artists may not be the same as mine or yours and is therefore, just a peg in the criticism ladder.

@JamieMcgee518 12 лет назад

interesting... very interesting.

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@Eysc is that workin' for ya?

@LudwigSpiegel 12 лет назад

Interesting

@lufferz91 12 лет назад

God I love bigthink.

@DaRealFiberOptix 12 лет назад

that was fun

@peazythatsmeazy 12 лет назад

Can we make this into a movie?

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@TheWfxyz might i suggest you find another channel?

@legend3061 12 лет назад

I tried to watch Kaku's physics of the impossible (lower case intentionally), it was piss compared to Carl Sagan's "Cosmos." He seems to assume too much about our future technologies, and most of his ideas seem hasty. Sagan was much more thoughtful, realistic and informative to the common man.

@bio138 12 лет назад

Where's Michio Kaku? ;(

@darthvaderyoda 12 лет назад

Sheets. Sheet music that is

@Caligula138 12 лет назад

Next time a waiter serves me artichokes with butter he better watch the fuck out.

@AboDi22lalala 12 лет назад

@SCOTFRE3 11 лет назад

Dont know if you saw this one he done.....Who Killed Caravaggio? (BBC). Its on yt

@1xPurple 12 лет назад

Michio should get his own channel, so I can subscribe to it.

@NawidN 12 лет назад

@bigthink Please make these video's louder. I can hardly hear the man, and everything's turned up to max volume.

@DaRealFiberOptix 12 лет назад

who is that guy, man I wish i had his voicebox

@JTCGiantz56 12 лет назад

Why can't people grasp the fact that intelligent people that can teach us a thing or two actually do exist besides Michio Kaku?

@urbano268 6 лет назад

Caravaggio!

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@BrokenBjartur then why did you take the time to watch?

@JTCGiantz56 12 лет назад

@NicoleNa666 Very well said. Oftentimes people who I deeply respect become some kind of icon where they are no longer seen for the intelligent person they are but rather some kind of God who people blindly worship. People somehow see it as a threat to great master Kaku's wisdom to show other intelligent human beings on this channel. It will be ok fangirls, Michio will be just as smart and awesome he always was despite other people being allowed to grace "his" channel.

@RichardSiwady 12 лет назад

Sends him to the hospital... wait what?

@TheWfxyz 12 лет назад

Yeah.. art.. very interesting.. now explain us why stargates in Milky way has a 39 unique glyphs and stargate from Pegasus galaxy only 36..

@oliverdking 12 лет назад

@NicoleNa666 who is kaku?

@Geckuno 12 лет назад

magnet for iron... don't miss iron

@666danielclark666 12 лет назад

@Consolized His name is Michio Kaku! And we are not worthy!

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@bio138 not here because he's a physicist, not an art critic. thank you for playing, but try again next time.

@TheStfu1000 12 лет назад

@cerealkilla4eva very bad wording on my part. i was just posting my opinion that when i see him speak there's just something about the way he comes across that is sort of patronising and unnecesary. and sometimes he dumbs down what he's talking about too much. but generally what he talks about is interesting.

@arminask 12 лет назад

@RectumPilum I'm hastily replying to you comment, and hoping to catch you out with my superior intellect!

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@BrokenBjartur Again, if you cared so little, then why even comment? The content was clearly displayed in the title. Do not insult me with your own ignorance.

@Amp1771 5 лет назад

This channel has just become another click bait RU-vid channel. This vid was good

@tek1001 12 лет назад

Sounds like the wild west!

@noobie379 12 лет назад

Michio Kaku should get his own channel only to get you people off BIGTHINK

@ingdize 12 лет назад

I Rather Michio Kaku... And I'm actually high while i'm writing this...

@Athrun000 12 лет назад

Nonetheless... I still liked this video... :)

@1madaboutguitar 12 лет назад

THANK GOD they got rid of Michio Kaku

@arminask 12 лет назад

@Eysc I'm replying with a witty comment to get some attention!

@cristianfcao 12 лет назад

DO look the related video at the left: Power of Art: Caravaggio. One of the best art documentaries I've ever seen! /watch?v=2HhbU5FoC-Y I also recommend the one about Bernini and David from the same series.

@pafijohn 12 лет назад

@DeeRaman HOW DARE ANYONE ELSE THINK AND BE PLEASANT TO LISTEN TO, I AM OUTRAGED

@DeeRaman 12 лет назад

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@Terminatification debatable.

@nonchalantd 12 лет назад

Will be funny to see how the future handles the early 21st century United States. "Now you have to remember that the United States was all crazy in that time. Politically divided and just absolutely filled with fundamentalist and self destructive personalities..." lol

@yazmut 12 лет назад

@manonthemount ya who the hell is this guy anyway?

@cerealkilla4eva 12 лет назад

@TheStfu1000 I think you're overanalyzing a bit. It may sound patronizing to you simply because his goal is to explain things to a wider audience who may not comprehend the advanced concepts he talks about as fast as you do. I think he's one of the most welcoming intellectuals and we need more people like him to help raise interest in scientific fields.

@JTCGiantz56 12 лет назад

@NicoleNa666 Very well said.

@1sueism1 12 лет назад

@starliteinfernal OBVIOUSLY you have never taken an art history class. k, night.

@ze_rubenator 12 лет назад

@arminask I quickly realize you're probably right, but I won't admit defeat, and accuse you of being racist.

@darkmetal247 12 лет назад

I tried to like this guy but I just don't like him the same way I do Dr. Michio Kaku XD

@subgay 12 лет назад

@TheMDBJJ as opposed to you? I have seen your videos, you must really enjoys guys squirming on the ground together.

@DeeRaman 12 лет назад

@pafijohn It's practically unthinkable that they would dare to even UPLOAD a video that was not from michio kaku... who would upload a video about an intelligent man talking about art :O
