I love this series. Thank you so much. Just a comment on Kusama. F is a number in hexadecimal, F number is also a term used in photography. The F number diagrams are representations of decreasing aperture and hence smaller circles. Perhaps she borrowed the concept from photography.
Woman still need a lot of emancipation i think. So many still are playing it safe with pretty rainbow colors and lovely shapes. Not to say i don't like it.These woman were very brave to have done what they did, despite being failry safe in what they made, but i think there's still a long way to go and they all have my full support.
"Women artists" huh?? Really? I'd say lets call all artists who are men, "men artists" and just call all women who are artists "artists". That makes more sense to me.
So glad you like the series! For more of MoMA's HOW TO SEE videos, check out the series playlist here: ru-vid.com/group/PLfYVzk0sNiGFaqN1iYF-KaVKBEgA3ZPCl
This is so awesomely done! As a woman painter myself I feel privileged in this day and age to have the resources and inspiration to continue my career as an artist. Beautiful works! Thank you! www.RoseMurphyArt.com
Mr. D'Augustine is always a pleasure to watch. Check out his videos demonstrating how to create works similar to abstract artists. They are fabulous and any artist would enjoy and learn from them. Expand your imagination!
I really liked hearing the comment about gender very early on in the video. I wonder about the importance we give to being a male or female artist. I have always considered myself just an artist, attaching no gender to it. The degree of importance of gender for me is undetermined. What I believe is that the work is the thing. It should stand on its own, as do the works of these artists. Tis exhibit is great...if you are in the NYC area, it really is a must-see.
Thank you very much for this video, I do believe that female artists were insufficiently presented at that time. for me personally, Frankenthaler's artwork stands the most, as I consider her a role-model. I think the most important thing for an artist, before and now, is to be experimental, just like she did. the Trojan Gates painting and a lot of her later prints illustrate this almost foggy yet tough colored spaces. YES, she was an abstract expressionist, authentic who brilliantly worked with the compositional aspects that capture the viewer's eye immediately. May she rest in peace and her art continue after her for generations to come.
I ve learnt so much over the last 2 years doing these courses. I feel so drawn to New York and the diversity of the people in the palettes. So interesting for me from across the pond to study and understand American traditions and movements. Amazing 🤩
I believe the Hedda Sterne painting is upside down. If you flip it 180 degrees then it looks like the truss of a bridge, particularly, the Hell's Gate Bridge in NYC, which was only 1.25 miles from Hedda's East 50th Street studio. When it's flipped, the lighter portion appears to be the East River where you can see the reflection of the truss. Just an observation.
Listening to this at 10:39 -> The Number F. Just a thought, was Yayoi Kusama aware of computing, because the standard number system in a computer is based on binary but scaled up to a nibble (4 bytes) the representation is called Hexadecimal, 0 through F with F being the highest digit at a value of 15. Just a thought :)
Enjoyed your video, but I don't know what to make of your comment about Kusama. There are various ways of reading a title and perhaps the whole point of this one may just be that because F isn't a number it stands apart when it is thought of as such.
The Mitchell painting is OK… Too much of the same mark making, not enough definition with color, and the white background is a little bit too stark and flat or unmoving… Some parts have more tension than others, but it still works, but not at a higher level… Still a little too jumbled, not enough defined spaces…just ok for her
I did not appreciate the comment at 10:23-10:26. To me he pretty much questioned her English speaking ability or intelligence, which given that this was a pro-women exhibit it’s very upsetting that even reaching such heights, it’s not good enough. This is sad.
Issues of gender and racism. Black women artists typically don't have issues with being recognized as women when it's our ethnicity/race that's the issue with the white/eurocentric art world. I bet he doesn't cover any Black women artists of this era in his presentation
Corey does a nice job of presenting and speaking about these paintings. Having said that, now I say that none of these paintings or artists are very good. I bring long experience and credentials to making this assessment.
This is a really great way to approach speaking about abstract painting. Mr Corey has the totally right approach to understanding modern and post modern painting. It is about the essence of the act of painting,
Thank you for this. I like how Corey D'Augustine explains art works, he appears to be very knowledgeable, but please can you ask him to stop saying 'if you will' so many times?
Beverly Russo: I am presently studying Women and the Visual Arts and was thrilled to see that this emphasis was on women artists. Thank you for your wonderful tour. I will return...
Great to hear that, Beverly! Best of luck in your studies, and if there are any topics or artists that you're particularly interested in, please let us know!
I always enjoy your very interesting way of looking at art - and really seeing and talking about the piece of art and because of that I also payed for your art course , but unfortunately I did never find out why I could not get access to the course. I still would love to follow the course but dont want to pay twice and then maybe once more not being able to get access to it. But Thank you very much for your very fine work - here in the free video.
I love your videos! I’m taking an art appreciation class (I just started college) and it’s introduced me to a whole new world. I’ve never been so eager to learn about something that I do hours of research outside of studying.
I miss videos from this guy. MOMA should really make more content especially series focused on different artists and their techniques, painting in a style of etc.
When do you think art teachers/curators will look at the work of women artists and put them side by side with the men and speak frankly about how they were as good if not better? I would prefer a Joan Mitchell over a De Kooning. You would think with time their merit would have been elevated to equality already...
Black is a shade because it is a absence of light and white is a color because it is the component of light. Black is a natural component of the universe and will always exist however you need other colors to create white which needs a visible light spectrum. 9:00 Art follows scientific and mathematical properties nothing can escape that even chaos has mathematical principle and shout out to MC escher. *dabs*
We covered Frida Kahlo in our MODERN ART & IDEAS series ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NICodKeadp0.html Let us know if you have any other questions about her that you'd like us to cover in the future!
thanks for replying :) i like your video about her and the others in the link. regarding frida kahlo, i would like a more in depth cover about her numerous portraits. i've always thought that the best way to understand them is to look at the background or on anything else other than her face because i think that's the real inner portrait she was showing. for example, the one with cropped hair, that one to me looks more like the person is really diego (the clothes are a dead giveaway to me) and her real portrait in that painting is all the hair scattered all around. will you make a future video about that? i hope so, she's so very interesting
