Hello, could you please create a video explaining the difference between Impressionism, post Impressionism, and expressionism? Also, thank for this amazing channel, you guys are truly amazing!
Educational and entertaining, as usual! My favorite Post-Impressionist works would be "The Night Cafe" by Van Gogh and "Portrait of Emile Bernard" by Toulouse-Lautrec!
I mean, it is sacrilegious to say that the opinion of those great artists on someone like Caravaggio, that operated hundreds years earlier, was that his art was quote "a little bit boring". Very simplistic I am afraid. It is important to understand that artists have great admiration of the works of the past. Van Gogh with Millet. Impressionists with David or Ingres.
Well, I'm here because I'm brand new to the art/paintings scene. Just recently, I've discovered I'm a fan of Van Gogh and learned he's a "Post-Impressionist" so I've come to discover what that means. I also like Monet, Caillebotte, (Paris Street - Rainy Day) and Pissarro (The Boulevard Montmartre on a Winter Morning). I've come to discover those last 3 artist are "Impressionist" though, now I think I'm on the road of Post-Impressionism vs Impressionism, but I want my cake and to eat it too:)
How big was the influence of drugs and alcohol during this period ? Van Gogh for instance was a severe alcoholic 🤒 So much so he even painted his favorite beverages. I know Absinth was big at this time but perhaps it was already the case during the long reign of the academic art 🍬🍷🤔
Interesting question. It wasn’t uncommon at all. Even if we go all the way back to 1751, you may have seen ‘Gin Lane’ by William Hogarth. This work was an illustration of the evils of gin-drinking and was published as a pair with ‘Beer Street’, as part of a campaign in England against the uncontrolled production and sale of cheap gin back then. In France, absinthe must have been a favourite drink of the Parisian boheme in the belle epoque. That’s why you’d find so many paintings depicting people drinking alcohol. So yes, definitely, alcohol and it’s effects have proved a rich subject for artists back then.
What is noted is that the artists don't paint inside the lines of academic classic artists. It's more whimsical and free of care, and that makes it more interesting, IMHO.
I loved this! Interesting fact: When Paul Gauguin worked with Van Gogh, he was already a bit problematic and had a bit of an influence that lead to Van Gogh's nervous breakdown. Therefore to answer your question: you can appreciate art without approving of the artist
Thanks for such a thorough overview of this art movement. It would be great if you could create a video about Georges Seurat or Paul Cézanne. Would love to hear your insights about their artistic journey
These topics helped me broaden my perspective of these famous painters. Ive my masters in painting exams coming up. So it helped me clarify so many doubts. Thanks a gazillion for creating this video.
this kind of would help lot of people and from any other RU-vid channel that explains about art history this is the most understandable explained i mean tht way of explaining and all the music and video editing is so much great compare to other channels, i am talkimg from my experience so thank you so much. keep it up for more information and upload we are curiously waiting for more videos
Thank you for your video. It's not until today that I did know that Vincent Van Gogh's last painting is actually , and not < The Wheatfield with crows(1890)> as is widly known.. 😁 Did you know that?
While The Wheatfield with Crows is certainly one of Van Gogh’s last pieces, the Van Gogh Museum has identified Tree Roots as the painting he was working on just before he died.
Thank you for checking out and confirming what I learned .. That's the spirit! 😁 You look like an expert or maybe something of an expert I highly appreciate your trouble.😉
Thank you for watching! We have a video about Van Gogh on this channel and also Gaugin is covered in the Non-Western Art video, give them a try and let us know what you think??
1:26 I sugest you remove this kind of interference on the video, the subtitles dont work and I think this things could be perfectly inserted on video by the narrator.
There seemed to be some clips where it was showing a post impressionist painting but was animated as if it was painted frame by frame. This is a concept I've been really interested in for a while.
Interesting but it's terribly difficult to concentrate when hearing and listening to the peculiar American pronunciation of the name van Gogh. We do not expect people to speak in the Dutch language, pronouncing the name Gogh as "go" is so far from reality as to be comical. It is difficult to put into writing how it should be pronounced but in Dutch it is close to "Hawk" with the k being similar to a guttural sound. Therefore it is universally (except in the US) accepted to say Goch or Gorch with the ch again being a gutteral sound.
Cezanne's pronunciation is also sadly so off - CezaNNA ? He was French, not Italian (that's regarding the wrong accent). But above all - no E pronounced at the end in French, and definitely never heard of an A sound replacing it. Poor Cezanne sounds like a football player. Again, doesn't have to sound as in original, just close(r), please. Other than than, not bad for a seven minutes, necessary simplifications are pretty well done!
I still can't bring myself to take these 'artists' seriously. I can only consider their artwork as among the lowest quality, and in the same category as any unsuccessful non-professional unrefined artisan in some remote village selling his wares for pennies in the village market.
WHY are you placing Cezanne HERE - when he's considered the earliest Impressionist? I wish your videos would drop all the tech gewgaw and just show paintings - and ones that correspond to the narrative....
