At 6:56 … ‘Sailing’ is an oil on canvas, not a watercolor
@LaurenceShafe2 күн бұрын
Thank you for pointing that out. The mistake is at 6:39 when I say "watercolour" and the painting is also mislabelled. It is oil on canvas and at the Carnegie Museum of Art. He had worked in watercolour before then and produced 'Sailboats' in watercolour in 1895 but that is a very different work and is at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Enjoyed your analysis here! interesting that fumes from the oils and other oils/turps etc would then be maybe the reason why Aubrey was only using inks? Iwonder if his life lasted longer that he might have embraced colour in the work's? Doesn't matter though does it what a genius this man was thank you for a most interesting vid!!!

Could you please cover individual artists and their biographies? You're so amazing at those.

Thank you for your feedback. I have two more general talks to complete first and then I shall be returning to individual artists. My aim to to cover Western Art in about 250 one-hour talks starting with cave art and ending at the present day and before the Renaissance we know little about individual artists.

Before I watch the video I can't help but weigh in on the "Matisse." There's only one thing to say about these things--it's either a forgery or the worst thing Matisse ever did.

When did Nicolosia die?
@LaurenceShafeАй бұрын
The short answer is we don't know. She married Andrea Mantegna (c. 1431-1506) in 1453 when he was 22 and they had seven children. We believe it was a long and happy marriage and after she died he never remarried so she died well before 1506.

You describe Gormley"s Testing a World View as consisting of five figures but I only see four. Did one of the figures leave the room? I think that it is ironic in the extreme that painters almost never win (if they even bother entering) a prize named in honour of a great and innovative English painter. If I look at the Sobey Art Award here in Canada, it seems that the juries of these awards only consider political statements to be "art". This has alienated much of the general public with regards to contemporary art. The tabloids have a field day for good reason. Easy target: like shooting the proverbial fish in a barrel (which may well be a piece by Damien Hirst). When did craftsmanship, and aesthetics and (frankly) talent stop being meritorious? In my opinion, if you have to explain (and explain and explain) a piece of visual art, it is not very successful. A circus indeed.
@LaurenceShafeАй бұрын
There are five figures in Gormley's work but only four shown in the photograph. I like your idea that one has left the room. I am in love with two-dimensional art so I agree there should be more awards for painting, drawing, engraving etc. I do like works with layers of hidden meaning and my job is to explain.

@@LaurenceShafe You explain extremely well Dr. Shafe. It just seems to me that many of these artists have taken off without a flight plan.

I had to look up the Yiddish word shmondak which it seems is similar to schmuck and although obscene in Yiddish in English is usually translated as "jerk", that is "stupid, foolish, obnoxious, contemptible or detestable".
