Another great video and history of, for me, at least, another unknown artist. Especially interesting were the comments on the nude in art, the attitude of the general public vs. what some artists were trying to do. The late 1800s were a time of changing attitudes and morals, at least in the West (America, Europe, parts of Russia). It might be an interesting video exploration of those attitudes, artists vs. the public and how things have changed (or haven't). I've always thought painting, at its best, tells a story, and the characters that are cast in telling the stories must dress the part (or undress, if that is how the story is best told) to get the story across. These videos, IMHO, along with the illustration of high craft, also focuses in the story-telling, which is wonderful and an inspiration to see Bravo! Looking forward to more.
Thanks so much for the video and historical explanation of M. Cox art journey. Whoever follows this channel, in my opinion, should promote it to everyone they know. Its just superb.
