Can you guys make an episode on some of your favorite art books ? You know so much about art and I would be interested to see what books you find useful regarding art history . Great videos btw keep them up !

Very interesting idea, hmmm...
@leel2623 5 років тому
Introducing a whole book might be hard within a short video, but talking about the art work with reference to the artist's own writing could be helpful and doable.

I love this. The whole wall of art in this video is wonderful, despite not seeing the rest of it up close.

Normally I don't like art that really needs explanation to support it, but in this case I do, and it is hopeful and romantic in an odd way using the universality of geometry and white light to indicate hope. Of course, tinged with depression currently as we are back to zero regarding Russian authoritarianism and the destruction of war. I also enjoy the composition of the whole wall of art as displayed here in the MOMA.

Great video about the topic. Very informative analysis presented in a very concise manner.

Great video, I'm a big fan of the Russian avant-garde..one can relate to an artistic idealism, a yearning to be free of the despots and the clerics..but put in action, the road to utopianism is a horrifying trip..

You've used this in a discussion before, but interesting to go deeper. I'd love to see you discuss Kramskoy!

Jesus looks so over it in that example of religious painting. 😂😭❤️ "Suprematism" is winning for coolest name today and I appreciate the premise behind it. I like the note Dr. Harris concluded on. Standing before this piece and the others that surround it, I never would've known the profound and meaningful purpose of these squares. Another one worth watching twice.

The image of Jesus by Kramskoi is amazing.

The interesting thing about art movements is that they are pages of a living history book.

The funny part about the is paining is that the fact that it was sold for $15 million would infuriate the artist.

Probably because people just see a tilted square, and nothing more.

This is a great question. It may be that some viewers think we made a bad video. However, I think that other people give a thumbs up or down as an expression of whether they like the artwork being discussed. Many people do not like abstraction so it is not a surprise to see a lot of thumb's down. For us though, and for most art historians, what we are doing here has little to do with whether we like or dislike a work of art. We are trying to understand the relationship between an object and its historical moment as well as the ways that original meaning has been transformed over time. What is perhaps most interesting is that 100 years after this canvas was painted, it still has the power to generate such disapproval.

Love these videos, thanks for all the content. its a shame the more experimental side of bolshevik art got replaced with dull socialist realism. (that said its worth noting the government of the ussr didnt consider itself communist, but socialist with the goal of achieving communism)

Wow, after however long of watching your videos only now do I realise that it’s smART history *facepalm*
@paulbuikstra6077 6 років тому
I think Malevich was more about trying to make an interesting composition with as little shapes as possible.
@paulrouhan7288 5 років тому
His paintings were reductive. Not his thinking. Not his vision.
