yay. in a previous video you mentioned a 2nd channel but i couldn't find it. you make excellent videos.

Hello , do you have an email adresse ? I have to contact you . Thank you in advance .

it's rather sad that you get demonetised, while islamist groups openly advocating for murder and defending marrying children are just floating around freely

He looks too good to be 70 yr old definitely not real

I had the same impression, looking at the firm muscle tone. But the approach is brutal, not so much honest. The thick, pitted paint of his pictures makes them look like relief sculptures made of putty

I was extremely excited to talk to Art History in person! It really was amazing

She's incredibly chill!

She was incorporated in another one of Freud's paintings where she is laid back in couch, the buyer of the painting placed it in his TV room before he sold it off to a private collection. Tilley had preferred it displayed in a room like that because she said mostly while being painted she was kept in a comfortable pose and at rest, as one should be when watching TV.

Thank you so much!

She's incredible! I can't be thankful enough for her generosity!

Beautifully said.

Refreshing is a good way to describe it. Refreshingly honest, comfortingly real

PS, my Great grandmom went to the same art school as she did at the same time, I don't know if they knew each other.... But who knows! 😁 My Mimi was an awesome artist also

nah

@@danielduarte7547 what does "nah" mean?

I love how my perception of the human body has changed since I started paintinig nudes. I almost feel liberated

Exactly. Arts like a liquid. It should fill all possible niches and be used for anything.

People seem to have really loved it (or really love Sue). I have no choice but to do it again!

You make a very interesting point, but personally I would say the painting at 11:14 is not in the style of realism, but of idealism. Even though the painting itself looks more realistic (which many idealistic paintings often do) both the subject and background are not painted as they are in reality, but changed by the painter to match their idea of perfection or the ideal. Like you said the waves are unrealistic, but they are stunning, and this extends to the subject too. Notice her skin is essentially perfect, and despite the wind of being by the shore her hair drapes behind her to frame her face and upper body. Between the subject and the background you could never see this in real life, so though it looks real, I’d say it’s actually ideal. On the other hand Lucian Freud’s paintings are almost a perfect anti-idealism in style, where the way he paints is not trying to appear realistic the way a photo does, but what Freud is painting is altered as little as possible between what he sees, and what ends up on the canvas. So though you’re very right that Freud’s paintings are not an example of realism in the way that they are painted, they are at the same time a perfect example of realism in what it is that he paints. His subjects are not idealized to match a standard be pleasing to a viewer, they are not abstracted to symbolize anything the artist wishes to represent, and they aren’t directed to tell a story. Freud’s painting are simply what is. They are simply real.

Nudity vs sexualization of children are different things. Balenciaga having a whole line about Panda, eyes one of the most disturbing things you'll ever have to read about, and a school book having an actual diagram of a penis or vagina are massively different to the point of being near opposites. Now I'm sure you'll defend pandas as being cute animals they are. But the meaning is what matters. Just like having basically pornography especially fetish content in schools is psychotic. But idk plenty of bad parents are grooming their children to be gay or whatever their little leftist ideology trophy they want. As no 5 year old or really any 30 year old knows they want to be non binary. It's a fake term made up for mentally ill and lonely people to avoid the topic of their issues and potential sadness. I feel sad that we have no way to help people like this as I'm sure most is from chemical imbalances and cases of childhood abuse. So leaving everything to parents isn't an answer either. But adding fetishes earlier to an already mentally ill people is a horrid idea.

Trans people aren't a fetish. Btw I'm a 24 year old non binary person soooo hello. Dunno if you've ever spoken to a trans person but we exist and always will. Also being gay is natural for almost every animal on the planet, humans included :)

@@vsauce4678i knew I was different when I was 3, and I knew I was a boy when I was 6, when all other children learn what sex, gender expression and the likes actually are. I wasn’t born a boy, but I knew I belonged in the body of one. I didn’t have a computer then. Or a phone. I also knew I was always into men, since I became sexual in my youth I was always attracted to them, never women. So I knew I was a gay man, always. Nobody taught me to be. My depression came from people like YOU. Who make us seem like we’re delusional, and infantilise us. You don’t belong here on the channel, this is a video of acceptance. Not hate. Your life is full of hatred and ignorance. In your case, it’s not bliss.

Can't even watch a video about art without feminists making it about them. The only people involved in gamergate are the ugly women still talking about it. This is all your show. How many reasons have you made up about what it is about now? And yes, there are high beauty standards, just like they have high athletic standards. Feminists are 4s demanding to be treated like Victoria Secret models while expecting men to hit every target. You hypocrites complain about racists but when it comes to your own leaders you turn a blind eye. Kinsey was a baby raper. The Suffragettes were bored elitist, racist terrorists. They didn't want to lower themselves to poor womens work. Their actions affected the lower classes so badly they had to sue the racist elitists. The Suffragettes won with the backing of Capitalistic men. Here bored elite women are still making life difficult for the working class with your virtue signaling luxury activism. They lie to you about the 1950s. It was when the technogical drive of WW2 replaced the help for the middle class with appliances. Much to the chagrin of the Cheuvanists, they were bad at it because they didn't know and created a series of food poisonings and accidents from unregulated equipment. The middle class wasn't unhappy running the house, they were unhappy from doing the helps work. The 50s was the end of traditional households and changed to the consumer driven environment that is still occurring now. Other nonsense lefty propaganda is that the third class was locked up on the Titanic. Never happened. I can do this all day.

​@@finnb7480Any male who "trans" after 40 has autogynophulia, they get off by people looking at them dressed as women. I love the cognitive dissonance. If a man wants big boots in a video game, it's bad. But if a man wears oversexualized female body parts to be observed, that is OK. Liberalism,, is a religion. I am a liberal. You are in a cult. It is Quaker Dogma. "God is in everyone " or the "Society of Friends," Also kicked out of England for being insufferable religious extremists. America's first evangelicals. "What is right is right, eve if everyone is against it, what is wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it" ~ William Penn Faith in God was replaced with faith in institutions. You think you have higher moral standards, but it was given to you by The Extreme Protestants. Freedom of Religion, was started by a Quaker woman in England, if you guys weren't the actual misogynist and actually held women up, that fact would be promoted. Liberalism is about consent, not equity, and it falls in the center. The far right are anarchists. Liberal and Libertarian both begin with liber or Libre which is Freedom in Latin. Anything collectivist is ideologically contradictory. That means the nazis, the socialists are still all yours, which is why you obsess about identity. Because calling someone an anarchist isn't the same bite.

Yeah, when I look at these paintings, they strike me as beautiful (in a broad sense), somehow just capturing the miraculous beauty of reality. It's a completely non-analytical, non-intellectual experience. I think it has something to do with his style. They're not realistic to me at all. A photograph wouldn't work the same magic.

That's right: "realism" is not the right word when talking about Freud. Perhaps "naturalistic truth" would be a better term?

👏 👏 👏 Couldn't agree more !

Thank you so much!

Furry detected

Thank you!!!

Thank you!! I’m super happy you liked it!

Oh I was

Excellent comment!

Hm, I thought about this, and I have to disagree. I'm also a fat woman, have been all my life, and am bisexual. Seeing the paintings, any painting he did with obese people, made me appreciate Lucien's honesty so much. There are not meant to be sexual, just like drawing nude people in class is not sexual. Sexual connotation needs, if you ask me, an undertone: dim lighting, lingerie, wet skin, object shaped like vulvas and penisses, people grabbing skin and another. None of his paintings depict that, not even the one he showed by another painted with this thin naked girl, although she looks at the viewer, almost as if expecting something. Instead, we see in Sue's case a woman being comfortable and just relaxing. She doesn't want to be attractive, she wants to be honest. The thin girl by another painter looks at you, not challenging- wants to be observed. Sue does not. This self-awareness is something most people lack (being honest to onesself) and I loved the confidence of each person he painted. I don't think there was a dehumanizing aspect to his commentary. Fat people are sexual and sexy, just like any other person, but the way you portray them matters. Sue has been depicted on a couch, holding her breast (which is comfortable) and sleeping/dozing. She cares zero for you finding her erotic, or not. I don't think any of these paintings were erotic, at all, I simply enjoy looking at different people in correct and honest portrayal of them.
