Was saving this for a time I could psych myself up to watch it, lol. But it is much more understandable than I thought it would be. Thanks for the video!

Great explanation and philosophical ideas!

Do we know for sure that it is meant to be a mirror?

Bloomin’ work of genius creative insight - thankyou so much for creating and reflecting (your self and your audience)!

Thanks for discussing this artist!

Thank you for mentioning Hypatia. I remember being in History of Western Civilization at 18 and learning that the "peace loving and holy monks" of Alexandria ripped her physically apart by hand all because she support their bishop as leader of the city. How Christ like! I'll have to research Darthia, thanks!

Disturbing but nice to look at. Would love to see some geometrical analysis of these, there's some serious art going on. "I mean look at them, they stare directly at us" 6:55 Directly at "us" is right. There is a lot going on in these images. Freedom to do or freedom from, identity and the meme-ing of life...

Love your analysis, thank you!

Collab with PhilosophyTube when?? 🤩

0:30 "Make fun of your voice?" Seriously? I thought it's seductive. Although I'm very curious to see for how long you can hide your residing hairline with your little quiff😂😂

Great analysis and paintings. I did not know the artist. Thank you!

I very much resonate with your way of wandering through a painting and gazing at it over and over finding new things with every gaze sesh. Thank you for the historical context and visually wandering through this one! Interesting bit about the rooster 😓

When I was young and ignorant I thought modern art was an obvious scam, now that I am middle-aged and learned I think it's an insidious scam

You tellin' the truth, or lion?

I had a friend who was studying to be an architect at uni. He owned a handbook of medieval signs which went through all the signs medieval artists used and some of the stained glass windows were like chapters of books to be decoded. I wish I'd written down the title...

That's who I picked first .. St Jerome

I'd just read the painting's caption.

This is an amazing series. 🎉

Love this!

Really informative and learnt something new about the hard stop after a quatrain and the rhetorical shift after 2 or 3 quatrians.

Now i know what to do in a “Saint of”

Haha - a cursory initial look at the picture and I was sure that it would leave me untouched. How wrong could I be? As always, I get to the end of another exquisitely compassionate and thoughtful AS video and know what I am doing next: watching it again ;-) - thankyou so much

Finally my for you page knows what I want!! The algorithm and art overlords have blessed me 😂

Just perfect 🎉

Love love love this

The content I've been looking for my whole life

Great video!!!!

Thanks again, James, for an insightful view of an artist's work...and how that work fits into the greater whole of a culture, and the context of its times. I was nonplussed, wondering where to start- how to introduce a friend to O'keefes works, since my friend was unfamiliar with any of her artwork-. Once again you've supplied deep thought, historical perspective...and respect for the nature of Art. All within a concise format. It's a great place to begin. Thanks once again.

Thank you for choosing to make a video about this lesser known Turner Painting . In Britain we sometimes have turn ups on our trousers [ by rolling up the leg of the garment ] and pronounce the vegetable as it is spelt but putting that to one side I learned from your talk on the subject and look forward to more .

Absolutely excellent breakdown of ideas and what art can do for us, how it can challenge us. Bravo!

I would love to hear your favourite non fiction art criticism books

Great analysis. I would not have noticed any of this without your commentary I love learning new things. Thank you.

I wonder if I can consider AI Mimetic since it attempts to reproduce reality using data sets.

its just steel and bolts 👽 humans are insane

Loved this analysis! Thank you.

Stellar work mate!

Thank you for another interesting -- no, profoundly enlightening -- video.

Clear, educational and delightful!

Exactly. Poetry has been one of the most important guides that helped me navigate some tough times.

Just finished it. Very good. Green knows how to create characters with unusual characteristics and how to turn a phrase.

Criminally underrated content

This is is art History on a next level! Thank you

Good ! Very clear , to the point .

11:23 Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash - Giacomo Balla: "Hold my beer"

An aside: There is a wonderful feature Art Film from Lech Majewski, entitled "The Mill and the Cross" (2011) which literally brings this painting, and the process of creating it, to life. It's worth viewing.

As always, such an excellent and entertaining piece of scholarship from Amor Sciendi. Thanks once again.

Never too long.

It's a stretch. Not only this one either. All analysis seems to be exercise of artificially imbuing desired meaning where there might something entirely different. Of course the cart wheels will be the same as the torture ones, where do you think they'd get them from. You can read this any which way you want. You can say the procession is upholding traditional values, something about authority and order, etc. The path is not quite a circle, but a spiral and it's elevating, etc. If the author wants to engage in philosophy, there are more direct, less ambiguous ways to do that.

A rather timely video

Did Peter Breughel use lenses when making his landscapes?
