what a bogus lecture. Which artist (very famous) did not have Turbulent Life? Name one please? (they create all such content deliberately to create new and false perspectives most of the time) And F**K Netflix. As if there was nothing else in this world to watch.

The way it ended so suddenly made it feel that way too

@@KingDayDayDay00 lol I'm glad I'm not the only one. I was honestly really irritated lol. They do such a good job with their doc's and to just leave it there seems... Well, evil

Indeed it rather trailed off and wrapped up abruptly!

Well if you're a Sponge you can get a deal with a major children tv network and have a hit show and be loved by millions of kids worldwide...I know a sponge named Bob that did that

@@sakabula1285 Good one!😀

I read that "Good writers borrowed from others, great writers stole." I guess painters did the same.

@@susanmercurio1060 BINGO!

stealing is not the right word but it sounds mischievious and dubious in this context.. all it means is to find inspiration from varied sources and use them in new unexpected ways..make new connections between these inspirations to create something that is your own..

Was there ever a part two or three?

If you look at the end credits, it's clear that this is a French documentary, so the voice over is not part of the original. Waldemar writes his own stuff, so we aren't going to get him reading a translation of someone else's work for us (sadly). But I agree with you about the bland way she reads the script.

Who cares? It works for me.

Hello there Sandi nice meeting you here

Then why frame this style as originating with Picasso, insteading of crediting the inspirations of his "genius"? The world is born out of the minds of ingenious people, but there are people who would steal the very breathes from the original creators. More and more people are waking up to the lengths people have gone to pervert history.

Really cool abstract surreal realism then he just offed himself

Picasso is a combination of time, love and passion for creativity. I'm not sure if I believe in natural talent, but maybe someone who can achieve such mastery has some kind of genetic set of predispositions which make them more capable. His first word was pencil, he drew and painted since birth, all day everyday, with intense love and obsession and not out of force, and up until the hour of his death. That much time and passion makes it seem impossible for another human to catch up to him. So especially when i see his later paintings, ones that critics call bad paintings or that he'd lost it, i just think of the absolute master of painting and art made that so it has to be respected and that we can't comprehend it for how deep he's gone to get there lol!

Unfortunately there was no "art" in fellow Picasso.

@@curtcoller3632 The ability to justly interpret the expressions of another's imagination is beyond me. But is is within my domain to express justly the workings of my own imagination for good or ill. Thanks.

Thanks.

@@kensyskye8965 I agree.

I would have loved to see van Gogh paint..I reckon it was pretty messy...lol.Ive also always wondered what became of van Gogh's easel and brushes?

he's very captivating as host indeed!

I know! 😭 They know that, so they got him to introduce it, lol.

Couldv'e? So who is this if its not Waldemar?

Hey, over here New York City is fast becoming a Smart City for idiots too! I had to leave.

But this isn't Matthew Collings eh? Its Wally Janusczak. With ridiculous hairdo.

That .. was an extremely difficult position to be in. So many soldiers have returned from that war with severe crippling PTSD as a result of the things that they saw and did in Vietnam .. and THEY - were the "lucky" ones. Had they known the actual politics that led up to that terrible conflict .. I would imagine that many more young men would have either refused to serve, or fled to Canada or Mexico in order to avoid the draft. The truth is .. the Vietnam War (1955-1975) .. which was a military conflict between North Vietnam (supported by China and the Soviet Union) and South Vietnam (supported by the United States, South Korea, Australia, and several other US allies during the Cold War (1947-1991). - The U.S. and Russia avoided nuclear annihilation by waging "proxy wars," supporting opposing sides in regional conflicts. Vietnam is a classic proxy war, with the Viet Cong substituting for the Soviet bloc, and the U.S. providing aid and air support (bombing) to a puppet regime. ~ The Vietnam War was described as a civil war within South Vietnam, although it became a proxy war between Cold War powers. As a result, the Vietnamese suffered the highest casualties in the conflict. Fortunately .. I was too young to be drafted into the military having been born in 1956. ~~ Thank you GOD .. Thank you Lord .. Thank you Dear Jesus .. and thank YOU Stephen James Beto for you service and commitment to this great country. - God bless YOU !!! ~~

I was a medic in the 82nd but never saw combat and glad for it. My sister's husband's father was a skin doctor and treated Picasso. He was given a few drawings (sketches) which my brother-in-law still has. His mom tried to sell them at one point, but no buyers.

Your comment is at .25 speed

I think that you should separate the art from the artist. To produce great, frequently it is require to go through extreme experiences, and that means, doing some morally objectable mistakes. It goes hand in hand, no good art ever came from a puritanist.

@@user-wl1uz5sb9f I love the convo on this topic, & appreciate both sides of the argument & I have had this same convo with many artists throughout the years on this specific topic many times. I tend to air on the side that you stated in your comment. I can appreciate the art still, but think the artist is rotten to the core ethically as a person outside of their art at the same time. They can coexist in my opinion. I can make that distinction. Whether or not I support them $ is a diff matter, but I can still appreciate the art & recognize it’s strengths.

@@user-wl1uz5sb9f I agree art should be separate from the artist; however, i do not agree with this idea that people have to be 'morally objectionable', suffer, or cause suffering to make great art. that's such a tired, harmful trope. there is a LOT of space between puritan and extremist.

​@@AthalieM An artist doesn't have to be that way but it seems to help. A very high proportion of the most innovative and highly regarded these days had awful lives whether self inflicted or not.

Today he would be canceled and put of business! He was a big con artist in the history of the world!!! He was already an immoral man almost causing women to take their own lives. Unfortunately he fooled a lot of people and I will get attacked for speaking the truth as I am not someone that can be brainwashed like the masses. His dad helped him in the beginning so he turned out his best work. He came up with a scam to disguise his inability to draw or paint. He was the beginning of the BIGGEST FRAUD in the art world!! Since then every con artist has followed creating garbage and fooling folk into beginning it is art. Such madness. Sadly most people have no clue about art and have to be told what was 'good art'. He couldn't even draw hid gf, as his father was not there to correct his mistakes. He knew how lousy his work was, so he came up with a trick...he would draw people in cubes or circles, it would disguise his inability to draw. He sure fooled everyone! His pictures after leaving home away from his father, look cartoony.. That's because he really couldn't draw. The pictures of crowds of people are so pathetic. The art world was desperate for something 'new'.. so they bragged about his work. Even though it was garbage. But they were so desperate for something 'new'. I would never hang any of paintings in my toilet! I know in 500 years to 1,000 years folk then will be wondering what were we thinking??? They will see it as garbage and one of the biggest con in the art world! Soon Jackson Pollock and Any Wahol will jump on the bandwagon continue the con. Others have followed, pretending to be a little insane, as that is part of the draw. The nature of the game. Sadly, only in the future this biggest Con will be blown open!!

That could be said about many artists. There's nothing as disappointing as meeting someone whose art you revere.

Your ignorance is enormous.

And that's not enough?

Debatable

His "art” is trash

i KNOW!!

Que Sera Wax Tailor

Yes definitely

Not just back in the day. This is standard art history. Art is like a river - it flows and evolves, it doesn't suddenly jerk to something that hasn't been foreshadowed.

@@kathydent2116 in other words, calling Picasso the forefather of Cubism as the thumbnail suggests is possibly wrong.

@@clkvlk Yes. Picasso and Braque are viewed as the direct founders of the Cubist movement, so they could be described as the fathers. Cezanne paved the way but did not articulate Cubism as a specific artistic movement in the way that Braque and Picasso did. Cezanne's relationship with Cubism is more indirect. It is more accurate to regard him as a forefather. You could say that Cezanne sparked many of the ideas that led to Cubism, but that Cubism only emerged in its full form with Braque and Picasso's work. Braque and Picasso were practitioners of Cubism, not forefathers. Picasso called Cezanne 'the father of us all'.

Much of Picasso's art is loaded with occult images but you won't hear about it from the art historians because they have been trained not to look

I thought the same!!!! " He's on her mind" or she's starting to think and act like him!!!!

Maybe this language of theft does not accurately/precisely convey the circumstance. If we instead say that he appropriated a tradition and set of conventions, then the argument crystallizes.

who cares?

@@cameronkrause4712 Who cares What you think..lol

So what DIDMatisse think of Picasso??!!!

@@margkropf5541 read up you will find out

Also: he was smooth af and drove an Eldorado

@@cameraman5449 Some people try to pick up girls and get called asshole - this never happened to Pablo Picasso

Very well and truthfully said. Cubism, impressivism, and expressionism are replications (stolen artforms) from North African and Northwestern African artforms. The North African Moors occupied and dominated Southwestern Europe, mainly Spain and Portugal, for 700 years. Of course African art, architecture, technologies were brought from Africa to Europe by the Moors. There are exact copies of Picasso's paintings from remnants of African art remained in Spain and other regions throughout Southwestern Europe. The failure attributing Modern European Art to the introduction of African art forms is a reprehensible stain on the history of art.

The term cubism was coined by an art critic; not matisse. The main influence on Picassos cubism was Cezanne.

@@gavinreid2741 yes it was coined by Henry Matisse. Matisse was the artiste that introduced Picasso to African Art. Upon seeing the African Art.. Picasso locked himself away and painted within the same concept. When Picasso showed Matisse the painting. Matisse said to him. "Why are you painting like the Afrikans in little cubes" . Quoted unquote. The French art critic you claimed coined the word was late in doing so. There was no Cubism in Europe until Matisse showed Picasso Afrikan Art. George's Braque came after with the landscapes.
