What makes some art valuable enough to hang in museums? In this episode of Crash Course Art History, we’ll look at different ways we can figure out the value of art beyond the number on the price tag, and we’ll examine how culture, society, history, and storytelling influence how we evaluate artwork.

i'm a fan of your 3rd grade's master piece

Lang wasn't going for beauty per-say but I will say that the photos themselves are still aesthetically pleasing to view and follow standard rules of composition and value.

@Pookie515 24 дня назад

I am so grateful for this crash course. I had never seen those photos from Lange of the internment camps. Art is so important, I really appreciate this series as well as the others on Crash Course!!

I have watched so many of these episodes more than once. And while they haven't gotten as much attention from others YET, I need you to know how much I deeply deeply value it. And you. And the art showcased, along with the stories told alongside it. So powerful and helpful. They themselves are art.

The Salvator Mundi is the most beautiful painting I've ever seen

i’d like to know more about photography as a form of art/fine art photography/the art of photography/how photography defines contemporary art

@jean-pierrep6844 Месяц назад

Thanks for the knowledge

Would love to hear your take on art and its location, and how location (space and setting, white cube vs. a wall at home, etc.) can not only affect the perception of an artwork but also add to or subtract from its meaning. I wrote an essay on this topic a while back, but I’m curious to hear what others think. Always enjoy your contributions to the discourse of art!

@jesseknight5835 Месяц назад

The problem is that I dont think words like "good" and "bad" apply to art. You can discuss whether art "works" or whether you "like" art... but I've never understood the concept of art being "good."

@astor-naut9555 Месяц назад

Agreed, art can be good at doing something or bad at it. The only real "bad" art, if you can even call it that, is art that makes you feel nothing but indifference. And even then, the experience is so individual.

@renevelation6586 Месяц назад

It is in the eye of the beholder. If it is good for you it is good.

@julietatonello Месяц назад

Love this video

Good to see you again!

Great series

@jonmartinson6830 Месяц назад

2.5/4 seems about right for the Mona lisa.

@mazolab Месяц назад

Yeah it's a normal sized portrait. Not really small.

@bradwatson7324 Месяц назад

There’s a book titled What Art Is: The Aesthetic Theory of Ayn Rand that has a lot of good philosophy regarding this subject.

@JoRiver11 Месяц назад

When it comes to art, I tend to use "beautiful" and "moving" interchangeably (though logically I get that they aren't really)

@CesarIsaacPerez Месяц назад

I saw the Mona Lisa 22 years ago lucky enough that there wasn't a line of people but photography was banned....

@miriam4235 Месяц назад

I love this series! Thank you Mrs Urist Green 🍎

@samwill7259 Месяц назад

Does it make you feel things? Then its good art

@tomako3a Месяц назад

2.5 stars, Anthropocene Reviewed 😉

@HistoryfortheAges Месяц назад

I cover this with my students when I talk about Michaelangelo and others from the Renaissance. Long story short they had standards. Then you get the impressionists and standards began to slowly fade. To the point today where are is all "relative" so someone can put a big rock someplace and call it "art" or have a blank white canvas and say it is "art" This may upset some folks, but think about this way. Are there any artists today that people will be familiar with 500 years from now and seen as genius the way we see the Renaissance artists? My guess is no. There is always something to beauty in the eye of the beholder, but if we are honest with ourselves, there is also objectively amazing art and objectively bad art.

@TristanFrodelius Месяц назад

Liking it. Next question. The best pizza in the world is the one that the person eating it likes the most. This is true of art.

It’s all about the proportions and golden ratio

@matthew_thefallen Месяц назад

I'm Italian but personally I never liked Leonardo DaVinci's art 😂 I quite despise him.

@shadw4701 Месяц назад

Pretty much anything that takes skill, time, and patience. If it's a blank canvas painted a single color it isn't art, it's money laundering. Art is creative expression. Nothing is creative about a single color canvas

@shadw4701 Месяц назад

I'd also like to add this applies to most of what you see on a daily basis as well like the technology we use, movies, games, music, architecture ect. Art is all around you but that doesn't mean there aren't acceptions to what can be art
