I can listen to this man speak all day. So intelligent and eloquent.

When an artist shares his skill with line,and expresses body action, gestures gives value to their individual performance. Makes one ponder!

An excellent speaker on some of my favorite area's of art

An excellent choice of topics. You give wonderful educational material. It is most appreciated and I encourage you to continue. Many Thanks.

Professor Cernuschi is a great lecturer; a very informed, satirical nature in his prowess.👨‍🎓

Stage observation,with actors,ballerinas, show the artist's comparative compassions,yes, thank you....color comparisons as well as line action that divides picture planets, increases interests.... ... ...

Six degrees of separation, the Kevin Bacon game… only this man knows art history well enough to pick up on the relationships between these artists and their art! Standing ovation from me again 👏

Body language comparison, gestures fascinating to observe,thank you!

Thank you for your attention to details.!

Was lucky enough to see the Toulouse-Lautrec exhibition at the MFA this year - it was wonderful!

Professor Claude , is certainly a master at making light of a potentially boring lecture on artists . Unfortunately , in the latter case , there are a few about , who are very dry with their deliveries on art history , hey , and not wanting to discredit who they might be , I again congratulate Claude on his fine effort & wish him full steam ahead with his next presentation , hey ! Comment by Kenneth , a fine artist living in NZ

This lecture is awesome!

Great lecture. That is good stuff for me to see and hear.

Sorry this is in addition to a finger slip below. Ukiyo-e are a type of Japanese popular woodblock print whose unexpected view points and compositions electrified Europe roughly after the mid 19th century. They can, I believe, help explain the radical compositional changes in France at least. Van Gogh had a collection and they appear in the backgrounds of a surprising number of works from that period. I believe their innovative allure is subtly coupled with the fact that they were done for and by a middle class much like our own. Degas and Lautrec used the forms of people and animals exquisitely and breathtakingly accurate, Picasso, certainly a noted figure draughtsman used them far more abstractly as a vehicle for his expression and not, I feel, as worthy of being subject matter themselves. Thank for such a beautifully prepared and engaging presentation

wonderful editing between speaker and the visuals. absolutely love this

So sad. I wish he was not so miserable in life. Can't blame him for his vices, he was suffering so much pain inside and out. So talented and underrated as far as the mainstream goes

you guys host some of the best lectures out there!

Thank you very much! That was brilliant!

That's sooooo great!! Help me a lot for my school paper.

Re: @38:55 the positions of some of the instruments have changed over time, and were different in 18th and 19th century concerts. You would have to know the stage configuration of that performance to know if they were really in that spot. Even though they were great artists, these artists probably respected the stage order of the orchestra. Even in the 20th century, some instruments were in different places. Leopold Stokowski, the conductor handing the baton to Mickey in Fantasia, changed players positions in the Philadelphia Orchestra. Quote: >>Stokowski was a great experimenter, and he tried seating the orchestra in every imaginable way, always trying to find the ideal blend of sounds. On one occasion he horrified Philadelphians by placing the winds and brass in front of the strings.

Always aware with dividing the picture plane, along with subjects intention.

TOULOUSE IS THE ONLY ONE PAINTER THAT INCLUDED THE ETHIC IN HIS MASTER PIECES

the Picasso painting on the left is Bibi la Pureé, not Gustave Coquiot 10:31

Thank you a fascinating and wonderfully researched presentation. You didn’t seem to mention European contact with Japanese Ukiyo e

He did his reveal, never mind. Comic book artists from one-hundred-thirty years ago...

Por favor con subtitulos en español. Gracias

Someone get that person a cough drop, good grief!

Well, yes and no. Many of the repeating subjects are simply because they all lived in Paris. Cafes, nightclubs, theaters - that's where everyone went at that time. It's meaningless to show top hats; all men wore them at that time. So, showing that they drew the same things is not indicative of a similarity of vision. They were just capturing the fashions and activities of the day. I am unclear whether the lecturer is saying there were direct influences. Did Lautrec know of a specific Degas work? Did Picasso know of a specific Lautrec? Were there direct references? It's hard to know. At any rate, some interesting points, but I think some of the similarities are over-emphasized.

Not correct. Picasso himself said best work from Degas is secret brothel scenes Degas did and Picasso bought later. Picasso was not influenced by Degas. Lautrec was. In that time artist simply did what was popular. Picasso did many paintings at his beginning of living in Paris to sell. To survive. In any case he was extremely versatile artist, which just speaks of his greatness.

Down in front! -T.Lautrec

A lot of times, I didn't agree with the comparison of different artists' works were necessary. You were comparing and reach for the similarity among their artworks after. Really not making sense at all! Did you look deep into the year they created all the images? No way you can for sure the influence came from! Provided more evidence in detail, please! 😣😕😁

A fascinating selection of paintings. But the acoustics were so bad the actual lecture was hard to follow.

Maybe baby. You never cared the time to look at mazes.

what s so damn funny? i don t get it

P.s. I can't believe how many people believed in phrenology

The fish lady Cutting up Stolen fish Poached fish Probably her husband or man who stole it for them to eat and sell That's what I ve Always Assumed With the river and the copper or army guy On horseback Thanks

restless audience =]

Picasso was a copier. He was not very original and stole ideas. This my friend is a lazy artist and now I look at him as not that great.

"the beauty that walks past" is a sarcastic representation. Grrr. Fat people are beautiful. So annoying that an old stereotype gets reinforced in a modern lecture. Check yourself, sir.
