Impressionism's Big Scandal? Waldemar On Manet's Masterpiece | Art Mysteries 

Great to see Waldemar back again. He hasn't been around for a while. I've missed him.

More! You’re great at explaining art, context, and cultural forces.

We want Walde-MORE!

Welcome back Waldemar!

Welcome back Waldemar! Great explanation of art again! But just don’t take so many holidays studying art and getting paid for it!

That was fascinating. I like the way you explain art. Thank you.

Bravo Waldemar.

In Titanic movie I remember when Rose brought Manet painting on the ship. Later she posed for Jack exactly like lady presented by Waldemar.

As usual, Waldemar has expanded my wonder and appreciation of art immensely.

It's a wonderful painting in and of itself. Love Manet.

Thank you. Great explanation

This episode with a baby-faced Waldemar was filmed in 2004.

Remember kids, if you wan't to rebel, always have something on your dad.

Interesting, but, of course, it's all speculation, nobody can definitively say what Manet's thinking was.

"The courtesan is greeting her next client - me" lol

Without Manet there’d be no Impressionism and without Impressionism there’d be no modern art..hmmm I like Manet but doesn’t sound like that big a deal

21:20 Gone Wee? 😊

Manet > Andy Warhol

Waldemars last name is so frustraction. How many z's and c's do you need in a single name???

The Girl in the river is absolutely not having a pee, if she were that is just not the position she would have adopted, she is taking the opportunity I believe to, wash herself, pee through her shift I really don't think so, unconcerned in the foreground and coy in the background ?

Once you go into bizarre, tabloid speculations like "What could Manet have on his father?", it completely falls apart. Not sure who your audience is supposed to be here, but I just move on elsewhere.

Waldemar reveals so much beyond the ken of the layman. I like his relaxed style too.

Waldemar we love you so much!!!

We need new Waldy.

I always learn so much from this presenter...thank you!

Cheers! Waldy!

thanks Waldemar

Waldemar, le meilleur historien de l'Art. Ses commentaires sont percutants avec un humour so british. ❤ j'adore !!!!

OH MY GOD! So dark, so scandalous, so 19th Century, so utterly Superb! J'aims beaucoup!

An interesting, ribald take that you don't get at the museum in re this icon of 19th century art history in a superb piece of work by Waldemar -with a delightful Noo Yawk assist.

Moderately provocative take: Katy Perry's Women's World is Monet's Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe

Manet painted his French culture without pity. It's totally in your face. The painting is magnificent in detail right down to the hairy armpit. Bravissimo!!!

That was 2004, which seems a lost era.

Is it possible that the woman in the painting is not, in fact, naked and that the painting is done to show that whenever women are present around men that is how men see them? Or is it done as appreciation for Victorine where he is coming upon the picnic and sees this woman he does love and see her only in her purest form? Is it possible her nudity is symbolic or implied rather than a woman sitting naked with men who don't so much have a shoe or sock off??

Manet jr had something on Manet sr? How amusing.

Aloha!!❤These boys are amazing!! Eric...the residents and their stories are heart wrenching .....They should not be dealing with the threat of eviction constantly and than on top of that having to jump thru all kinds of hoops just to get a small amount if anything...Its obvious the Government is ignoring their needs ...i wish the world news would play these same stories every night so the whole world could see what is being done to these residents...Shame on the Government and Shame on President Biden...This is insane ...He has the nerve to get on the news each week to let us know a few more billion $$$ are being sent to other countries ... while the victims of these terrible mysterious disasters are suffering and being ignored....Its unacceptable and just absolutely insane.Sorry this is a long rant...but im just thinking of these amazing people a lot these days ..and I Thank God for you Eric🙏! Thank you for sticking up for these boys and all the other residents and giving them a platform to tell their story..I don't have much... but im going to give at least 10 bux...I like the idea of everyone giving a dollar...( If only🤔🙏 )But i love how you are not giving up Eric...) Im amazed by what yiu are doing for the people of Lahaina...👍💞We need more like you in this world...I pray they get what they need to make a fresh start..❤🙏🙏❤️

This episode has been cut or edited at 23.33. It ends abruptly. Rather jarring and frustrating. Not Waldemars' style...

Slavery in the USA was abolished on January 31, 1865. The earlier "emancipation proclamation" by Lincoln purported only to free slaves in areas that were not controlled by the Union. It had no basis in law. (Slavery remained codified in the Constitution.) The proclamation had no practical effect other than as propaganda.

Manet's painting, profiled here, leaves me perplexed, in purpose and choice. It occurs to me that he may have largely made the choice to gain attention. Like Media is overwhelmingly used today. His later works are delicious, but I don't find this painting attractive, her expression is unattractive. The model just really doesn't speak of art, to me. It's an individual taste matter for each. Maybe, I don't get the 19th Century eye for beauty ... It is her expression, her attitude that speaks louder that her being nude. I would be interested in Manet's own statement's on the Painting and the Model. Clearly he was obsessed with her, and likely suffering some unfulfillment in his obsession. The "Olympia" painting, is just not a good painting, the legs look awkward, it looks like a student's, rather than achieved, and I don't pretend because "the Art Interrupter" is flowing with their compliments. One has to 1st feel visually positive towards the piece. Perhaps Manet is evolving, Maturing in Thought, and he certainly achieved a Higher Minded value of Thoughts, apparent in the extremely attractive later paintings.

Waldemar is my favourite art critic, he always dives deep INTO the painting, and gives much more background and intentions of the artwork.

Waldemar you are as my teenage son would put you are "the GOAT" of presenting art ... I'm hooked on paintings thank you

Some videos I've recently watched discussing this picture look at the preliminary version, (its horrible.) Thankfully Waldemar takes the trouble to show us Manets masterpiece.

You're helping me greatly with my art project! Much appreciated!

More Waldemar, Please!!!

New to this channel, why's the video quality so bad?

Manet - I love that painting - thanks Manet❤

What’s with the intro music ? 😂

She *couldn't care less.

Excellent!

They didn't approve of this painting because it's always difficult for men to look into the mirror.... However, the nude Woman up front and center, sees the viewers Soul, and is calling them out with her smile...

Oh no he's back

there are so many art arttists but still you guys take the same ones... can you guys look for a few woman artists also ? there is always somthing new to find and to explore you never know what you find :)
