This was wonderful. Sleep is both haunting and comforting somehow. I don’t know much of art history and definitely didn’t know Carriere, so thank you!

Eugene Carriere, I won't forget the name. Thanks.

Didn't know this artist, and after this, I like him already. Thank you for this!

I didn't realise Carriere was relatively unknown, so having been a fan of his for a long time (not to gloat, I'm genuinely just quite surprised), finding that out gave me this weird mix of pride in being a fan, but also this innate sadness. His work deserves to be seen and known and loved. But when I think about it, it almost seems fitting that he should be a little obscure, given how ghostly and dreamlike his paintings are.

Thanks so much for covering Carriere! There is a huge painting of his in the Rodin Museum in Paris (I think Carriere gave it to Rodin as a present) - if you're there, don't miss it! It is 5 metres long and almost 2 metres tall, and it depicts a shady, obscure theatre auditorium with people looking down at the stage (the title is Belleville Theatre). When I first saw the painting, I thought it was nonfigurative: it looks like brown clouds, smoke, and some dim, yellow light (that is very Rembrandt-ish), but if you look at it for a few seconds more, faces of an audience and an auditorium emerges from the chaos. I still don't understand from where did he get the courage to even begin a work like that: "hmmm, let me paint a shady, badly lit theatre auditorium on 10 square metres of canvas." It is just nuts: the painting is so big that the curators could not really find a proper place for it in the Rodin-mansion. It is hung over a staircase near a window, so when the sun is shining outside half of the painting reflects back the light and is not properly visible. You wouldn't get a postcard-replica in the museum shop either (even though I really wanted): it must be really difficult to photograph the magic that Carriere painted. One of the best overlooked painters of all time - thanks again for letting more people know about him!

I never thought I'd be this interested in a channel about art, but I've been loving these videos. It's rekindled my fascination with art.

it's like the world being seen from the astral plane or from the perspective of ghosts, through a veil

His work is surreal, like a dream. The contrast of light and darkness is brilliant. I have a new hero.ive been doing this kind of grisaille style paintings . This was the inspiration I've been looking for.❤

Thank you for rediscovering this artist! great video and compilation of his artwork!

Lovely! thank you for introducing us to this amazing artist and their work

Thanks for this discovery. His paintings are beautiful and haunting. Very interesting and informative as usual.

Loved this one! One of your best ones for sure

What a remarkable artist. Thanks for bringing him to those of use who did not know of him

thank you for getting to know that artist! seems intriguing :)

Thank you for this great insight into art history, thanks to you, I've discovered an artist new to me, and widely fascinating!

His style is so enticing!! Thank you for showing us!

Haunting work, respect ❤

Always appreciate your videos 🙏

I think I ve been looking for him too xxx

Great video as always thank you!

Brillaint! One of My new favorite artist!

I fell in love with his artwork

It' blurry and mysterious, when you try to recall someone's face who you only saw for a moment

What a beautiful man. Thanks for making this video.

Incredible. Thanks.

Thankyou for presenting this artist! He was completely unknown to me!

Great art makes you feel something imo. What a beautiful artist.

Another fascinating discovery, thank you.🌟 His work has an eerie, haunting quality. The fluid depiction of his portraits gives them a spectral appearance. His work is beautiful and yet also unsettling. Just as many dreams can be.

Somber and eerie. I love these works!

merci pour la découverte!

This is really amazing. This style definitely stands out from the normal.

Amazing work.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this artist and I’m in love!!!

Thanks for this!

Thank you for fascination information ❤

I recently discovered him, too, after seeing his works on display at the Rodin Museum in Paris. His painting is evocative and puts one in quite the contemplative mood.

Gorgeous

I've always liked his work. As you say, dreamlike, haunting images that stay with you. Thanks for sharing.

Breathtaking

I love the feeling the art gives 🖤💖❤️

thank you!

the colors look so nice

love Carriere thanks for making a video about him

I got sucked into his First Communion painting at The Met a few weeks ago. I stood there and stared and stared and stared at it. Its air was completely engulfing. I've found symbolist works to be more and more intriguing to me this year. He's another great one.

I felt love with Carrieré s Painting se, amazing and misterious Painting. Thank you

thanks a lot for those discoveries

I agree. I will follow!

Amazing!

His painting is the most accurate revealing of dreams. Thanks for sharing.

Incredible talent

Ok, I like Art. I'm not a snob and hate people who are. I see something and immediately know if I like it. I don't analyze, I don't ponder, it's inherent. This= is fantastic. I'm SO glad I watched this. I saw the suggestion and was pulled to the piece right away. Even if I don't like an artist= I can appreciate that they are talented. I don't much care for the Impressionists, though I understand that they are groundbreaking works. I like Francis Bacon, Jalf Sparnay, Escher, Dali, Gieger. I Worship Vermeer. All the stuff I like isn't anything alike, it just resonates with me. This artist- is going to be in my like collection now and I will get to explore him and his life and works now, thank you. It's the Man Who Paints the Ghosts of People. Brilliant stuff.

It's like he painted in the dark only lit by a candle. the constant moving of the light would create an almost wispy image.

His paintings are magical

Thank you

Terrific artist!

fantastic video, but if i could recommend some artists that maybe you dont know, or do, but that id adore to see a video on: francisco soria aedo, how refreshing it is to see people look truly happy in paintings. and fernando botero, famous for his unique style of drawing everyone “fat”, and who passed away this year. i saw your video about latams 9/11 but i would also, truly, love to see a video on guayasamin alone, more in depth. wonderful work as always, and i know this comment may come across as demanding, i promise it isnt, i just adore the analysis you bring forward about art.

Shades of a nuance of a suggestion of Goya float in my mind--thematically, at least. Thank you🎉

Why have I never heard of this artist? His work is amazing.

Wonderful account of his work...

I was visiting the Rodin museum in Paris today and found a large collection of Carriere’s works on display, it was a great surprise after watching this video last month and nice to have context!

The best art iv seen in a Very long time. Look att the noses. Insted of shrpness as in all other art he uses the nose to be a part of the Dream.

Great Vid

incredible

That woman in a bridal gown really creeped me out... Shows how masterful the artist is.

It is wonderful that you have made Carrière's work available to a larger audience outside of France, where his work is well-known and admired. He was truly ahead of his time. Another fabulous artist of a later period is Lucien LEVY DHURMER (1865-1953). His symbolist pastel portraits are etheral and haunting. If you seen one in person, you'll never forget it.

this man is a wonderful painter... not surprised he was a good friend of Rodin .... has a great deal in common with him.

Grazia mille per questo questo video.

It’s stuff like this that I’m subbed to you

holy crap. never seen these but I've dreamt them.

Only by noticing the feminine hand with sharp nails resting gently in the painting called "Sleep" could I see more of it in context. Thank you for sharing this artist.

One of my favorites of Carriere is "Her Mother's Kiss".

What a powerful essay

Disturbing but beautiful

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! His "Sleep" painting reminds me of one that Picasso painted titled "Rest". I wonder if this painting inspired Picasso? It's very similar so it makes me wonder if he painted his own version of it after seeing this one. Keep up the wonderful videos coming!

i love it

Thank you very much for i knew Carrière's work but i coudl'nt put a name on him for years. You can see some of his work at musée Rodin in Paris, it's a part of Rodin private painting collection with three Van Gogh.

Thanks!

@3:17 the image struck me as if it was a child in a photograph but just beyond of the focal plane of the image such that some of the face is rendered more precisely than others that are inches further beyond. Part of the lips and the nostril are both near photorealistic, and the rest is less so by degrees.

I had a recurring dream when I was a kid that I will not relate here. But in the early days of the internet I found an artist who painted the image from my dream over and over again in every one of his paintings. I found it one day in the computer lab University, and I've never been able to find it since in over 20 years.

He paints people as if he’s painting clouds

Thanks. I never heard of ths artist.

I have never heard of his artwork but his style is everything I love, vageuly evasive and subtly gloomy. Thank you for the video and widening my horizon. I was also wondering if you could share the background music?

Ken Currie is my favorite when it comes to surreal dream like paintings.

Reminds me of the unknown dreamer that painted artists

I recognise him from the Rodin museum! I'd forgotten his name but he's stayed with me for years!

Wow

Excellent video , thank you for introducing this wonderful artist to me . Lots of sadness in his paintings . Where did you source the images … I’m trying to find Eugène Carrière - Crucified Christ without success l

More artists should recreate their dreams. It connects you to your subconscious and by doing so allows for more creativity

New artist for me, so an interesting look at his work. Most seem blurry & shapeless or rather indistinct thus unappealing to me. I did however like sleep & more so the portrait of Rodin.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I don't see Carriere's works as part of Symbolism. Yes, he was technically a Symbolist, but his art seems to me much closer to Munch and some other expressionists

I have a wonderful lithographe by Leonore Fini that resembles this work. I live it and it has followed me over the world and hangs in my bedroom, very ghostly.

Before you mentioned his name I thought it was some undiscovered works by Odilon Redon. I'm off to find some more about him.

I recently saw a Modern Art exhibition with some portraits which was very disappointing to see how backwards modern art thinking has regressed. Our aesthetic consciousness has been distorted by the Art industry with poor "nothing to say" standards in so many areas .I Love Carriere's who captures the soul of his subjects like very few can. He is up there in the master class of painting

That thumbnail is definitely Varg

I know his name, from a book called The Art and Craft of Drawing.

Do you know Fabrizio Spadini??? Is a fantastic Italian painter that mix the classic artists and the new pop culture, I recommend you to see his paintings!!!!

Can you make a video on Nikolai Romadin? He's a good artist in my opinion and quite unknown.

It all does make me think about Picasso's work from his blue period....

Blown Away…. new to me…
