Thanks a lot for the video, it was fascinating! As a few points of constructive criticism, I'd really wish the editing was simpler (no chat message, no facebook live overlay on the interviews, etc). As it is now, it really distracts from the narration without bringing anything to the viewer. Another thing you could do that would be great is to add the credits of artworks you show when they are one screen. I really loved some of those paintings, but as it is now I have no way to find them again and/or learn more about them. That said, I want to stress that I still think your videos are great and I tremendously enjoyed them :)

@Abhalerao96 2 года назад

As other commenter pointed out, the editing is really all over the place and distracts from the great audio content. My suggestion is to bring more fluidity to the videos, only one aesthetic theme to each video, and no wikipedia please.

@CuriousMuse 2 года назад

Sounds good, thank you! 👍🏻

@michaelbyrd7883 2 года назад

I understand why these artist expressed themselves the way they did, they had as was stated anxiety, fears and melancholic feelings, thoughts etc. However, to live in that world and not step out is miserable. Although as clearly seen lots of great art was produced through those themes. Munch, the Brotherhood, Gauguin lots of talent and emotion brought about universal connections.

@Aramanth 2 года назад

Another wonderful production and very informative!! I love the work of *Odilon Redon...* he has some really odd works but his vibrant dreamlike florals are my favorites!

Hi thanks for sharing this wonderful video! Is there any Symbolism in Contemporary Art which is different with Symbolism in Modern Art period?

@CuriousMuse 2 года назад

To be honest, not really. The video talks about symbolism as the 19th century *art movement* and not a ‘thing’ that’s featured in contemporary art

Who is the lad on horseback in the thumbnail? Artist/year? Was this the inspiration for the equestrian statue in Peggy G's collection in Venice?

Found it! Petrov-Vodkin 1912 Bathing of a Red Horse. Now I get it, the pre-revolutionary symbolism

The info here is great, but the editing is all over the place. I'm not convinced that stuff like Dante messaging Rodin really did anything for the story other than temporarily distract me from it while I tried to read the text bubbles. The art historian lady around 2:17 has way lower audio than the rest of the video and was it really necessary to show the mouse clicking play? And a large part of the piece about Evelyn De Morgan was footage of scrolling down a webpage with her art? It's fine if the world maps you're showing are coming from google maps, but having the actual google maps search bar and generic info on London in the frame was a bit much. I also don't understand why a random paragraph with a play bar above it is scrolling across the Gaugin painting around 1:48. The list goes on. It felt very cluttered visually.

@CuriousMuse 2 года назад

Thank you for such a detailed feedaback! We'll discuss as a team and see how we can make our production less "heavy" on effects.

@morganlake41632 Год назад

A painting of Theseus symbolizes maybe: wisdom, the husband of Medea, the abductor of women, one who reconciled political differences....What does The Scream symbolize? It isn't a metaphor like a rose symbolizes romance,.I don't think it symbolizes anything. It directly reports (as great artists always do with their observations) the feeling we have when we panic...we may not show our feeling to others but The Scream does. And shows how the world is distorted by panic. What else is Edvard reporting to/for us?

@CuriousMuse Год назад

Most would say it symbolises the anxiety of the human condition 🫣 ….

@steverlfs 2 года назад

Who were some of the symbolist composers and what pieces of music should I look for?

@jeremiahnoar7504 8 месяцев назад

Rachmaninoff springs to mind immediately. Especially his "Isle of the Dead" which was inspired by a painting shown in this very video. It is as atmospheric as it is dreamlike. Debussy and Mahler fit the bill and Glazunov is an honorable mention.

@faridvargas8881 Год назад

How does Klimt fits into all of these?

@CuriousMuse Год назад

Klimt's work was inspired by a number of art movements in addition to Symbolism, including Impressionism and Art Nouveau.

@suzimajor9532 2 года назад

I’m glad that the narrator states that Munch’s masterpiece “The Scream” is (primarily) considered expressionism. I suppose that one could call it “symbolism” also, but I think that you’d be stretching it a bit.

@user-kw8ff9ne8l 2 года назад

Actually Munch is expressionism not symbolism.

@CuriousMuse 2 года назад

I’d say over the course of his life, from 1863 until 1944, Munch moved boldly from naturalism to Impressionism, and from Symbolism to his own unique brand of Expressionism 😉

@trevordavies5486 Год назад

There is no mention of the Russian Symbolists.

@CuriousMuse Год назад

@grsbch 2 года назад

Isn't every artwork a kind of symbolism? I mean the artist have a own way to express what he want to say. In that he use the painting as an Symbol about what he is wanting to say...

@CuriousMuse 2 года назад

It’s slightly different - we talk about symbolism movement in this video which wasn’t about symbols in each painting

@shion3948 2 года назад

Nah, the 'normal' art is usually about conveying a message to the viewer, while the symbolism is completely abstract and subjective, you can interpret it how you want

@jeremiahnoar7504 8 месяцев назад

Symbolic work is less about expressing what you want to say and instead expressing what can't be said.
