thank you so so so much for this. it feels like a piece of art unto itself

Wish more humor and lightness in the use

❤❤

Had the privilege to see the Hals show in Amsterdam and was totally surprised that the genre of portraiture (looking at people long dead) could be so moving. He is a spectacular artist, there is no doubt about that. His ability to capture a fleeting moment, a smile for example, and he shows you not just one smile but so many different smiles, is extrodinary. Art critics have no idea how difficult it is to capture that fleeting moment so convincingly in paint. He's a magician and of different rank compared to modern painters. He really captured a living person for centuries to come, can Katz pictures for example do the same? And how modest he is about his magic, it is about his sitters, sometimes the poor and mentally disabled, the children and outsiders, what is a Picasso portrait about? About himself in the sitter...

One of the best written and well crafted art videos on UA-cam. Keep it up, these will blow up! Thank you for all you do.

Had to give this a thumbs down, stick to Hals and not the promotion of modern shallow rubbish. Unsubbed.

Jones is an awful critic looking for attention, Hals is a great painter of humanity. Do not confuse Hals with the photographic copying that is done today. Hal's is all about drawing with the brush, translating reality.

Now ....everybody knows about JJ ....until yesterday the only JJ i knew was the JJ French the guitarist of Twisted Sister !

rather better hd than words

JJ isn't worthy to clean Hals' brushes… Found his review sorely lacking when I came across it originally, so I was heartened to see such a well-considered, thoughtful rebuttal. Kudos!

Jonathan Jones is not worth this much anaylsis or time.

Beautifully written, deeply contemplated and presented with a deft intelligence. It's a WOW!

Hals is the hue to Carravaggio’s contrast. Every artist has their innate aesthetic articulation.

This was beautiful

Wow wow wow thank you

Calling Sargent shallow is where I check out. You only need to look at his portraits of friends and family to see depth or speculate on the portraits of sitters he didn't like very much. He brought out more of their depths than they probably liked

I've read some pieces by Jones that I vehemently disagree with, some that I wholeheartedly agree with, and more than a few that didn't much move me in any way. He does often seem to be needlessly contrarian. Anyway, great video. I've always loved Hals and his jolly subjects and didn't know that he produced exclusively portraits - I guess that's why he was such a master of faces. And I'd never paid much attention to the hands of his subjects, I'll definitely do so from now on, thanks for pointing this out!

Hmm... I thought it was generally understood that JJ can't tell a good picture from his own bottom?

absolutely amazing

They talk about the necropsy from a modern perspective. Back in the day everyone was much closer to the harvest of their food, so getting hands on with the anatomy study was less grisly to them than it seems to us. I hope i said that in a fairly mundane way but still make sense??

These documentaries are delicious, like exquisite confectionery found in an obscure patisserie in a back street.

He’s dope! Different isn’t always bad

Good stuff

There’s not much content on this amazing artist on UA-cam thanks for sharing this insightful and entertaining piece ! Best regards ✨

Authorities hate it when you point out their hypocrisy

When I was old enough to consider such things, I always thought of the Roadrunner as being the trickster, evading, thwarting, turning the Coyote's (i.e. society's) traps back upon him. His use of the #8 isn't so mysterious either. I had never heard of him before. Good video.

amazing video. i'm so surprised you have so little views, how???

Best channel on UA-cam after Mrs Mort's Piano..

Terrific comprehensive film.

why doesn't this have more views???

Just discovered your channel - instant sub!

Another splendid video lads. Well done.

Such a good and informative video. Great research and broad and insightful references!

95% rotten tomatoes

thank you for this video!

Love how the music also changes it's frequency and pitch. I assume it's changing the delay time for a tape delay?

❤

Another great video as always. Well done lads.

Another banger!

This 'review' is incredible. It is an excellent jumping-off point for a lovely and thoughtful read (and introduction to Miyoko Ito's practice). Many video essays on painters/art focus on a good essay with some good visuals. This essay is not just thoughtful; it is profound. It delves deep into Ito's practice, offering an enriching read. (I am thankful it is a video, tho~!) Including many of Ito's works (all credited, by the way!) and then using those works in conversation with other painters, films, and other visual media detritus really makes this transformation. Together with production values, it is terrific. Everything sings and combines to create a beautiful symphony for Ito. Thank you.

Amazing! 💥

Wonderful production.

“Designed to introduce, not to explain”

Thank you sir.

My favourite art video essay channel!

what is the title of the book that is being flipped through?

Melodramatic presentation takes away from and interesting subject. 😑

You say all that but i have a Utrillo unrestored though it needs it street scene, very grey one her repeatedly painted, totally ignorant as to ite value, had it hanging around as long as we can remember never thought anything of it

This is a great video introducing me to an artist that I was unfamiliar with. Love this essay format and the depth of attention that you lavish on the paintings, very refreshing.

Please share where the footage in the pre-title sequence comes from! Would love to see the whole film. I’m searching without success. Thanks for your excellent channel- just got here ☺️
