Looking forward to more episodes on Italian Art. Thanks Andrew for being the greatest historian that ever lived

Has become my new wallpaper

Should have done a longer shot of the Card Players.

So glad this was captured for posterity, thank you! A fascinating connection between these two painters that transcends the teacher pupil relationship, and the ideas of bettering predecessors. Our gallery in Aberdeen has a Bomberg landscape and an Auerbach portrait in their collection, unfortunately not shown in the same room because of the themes, but the comparisons and connections are undeniable (thick paint application aside). Both searching for solidity and forms that exist on their own terms, both capturing their reality in an utterly unique and unexpected. Wonderful that this exhibition happened and sad I missed it.

Very weak technique and color feeling. Repin is much better.

К огромному сожалению всех ценителей, Франк Ауэрбах ушёл в мир иной 11.11. 2024... Добрая память

What a timely exhibition. It was great to see a talk / walk through this memento capturing their work Thank you. R.L.P Frank.

Frank is gorgeous 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Yes yes yes all well and good. BUT, is there out there a painting out there that genuinely makes you laugh. A rib tickling portrayal of good time. I wandered round the National Gallery last week in search of an example and came up with nothing. Apart from the imagined reaction of the mates (off canvas) of the lad bitten by a lizard after they dared him to poke the lizard to see what happened. They would be wetting themselves as teenage boys would.

Excellent informative review on a wondrous piece of art.

I loved that. Thank you.

Crumpet man's thinker

Love all your work. Can’t wait for another full length documentary!

This is your very best show Andrew, thanks so much, gutted that I missed it.

Does Andrew do long form podcasting? I could listen to his prose for hours

this is what happens when you perpetuate the age old falsehood that philosophy painting began with the renaissance rather than in the east and byzantium.

the proximity of christ to judas is not something giotto invented. there is a fresco at Vatopedi monastery in mt. athos from the same time and the Betrayal at Karanlık Kilise dating back to the 11 century that prove this. in fact the most important invention of giotto in this scene isnt mentioned, that the sleeve of judas' tunic (or whatever that is called) drapes over christ covering him completely, and the line forms an almost cocoon like shape, juxtaposing them together in a completely new way. lazy andrew. lazy.

You, walking around an art gallery, with a cameraman, is all the Art History I need. Thanks for all the years of pleasure.

Good to see Andrew Graham-Dixon here. Subscription ✔️

Thank you!

They weren't on the same page bro

English accent mf ucker...

No no van gogh is ur fiend

Nobody bro....

Great video. Loved it. Next time, use a radio microphone.

I would go but is in London

And everything changes...hummm..!

Sickert, Bomberg, Auerbach and Kossof - a great lineage.

Won't be in UK, but really did enjoy the overview. Thank you.

If only I was there, in London. I hope next year and definitely ❤ see those famous impressionist paintings on display!

Thanks Andrew for all your work. You have taken me on many journeys and I really appreciate it.

For me it has to be Turner's Fighting Temeraire both in subject matter and technique. It is the epitome of 'out with the old, in with the new'.

Auerbach is still alive to this day I believe 🤔 living in London in his 90’s I think?

I think the main issue here is both authenticity and transparency. We live in a world where important art is increasingly held as a commodity for the obscenly rich, often held in the likes of freeports. The idea of queuing to see a copy is almost laughable. For example, imagine how it could impact on the 'pilgrims' travelling to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa (regardless of how interested they are in the painting and its history) if they found they had been duped into seeing a reproduction. Then you have the question of whether the experience of going to the gallery/museum is more important than the opportunity to connect with the actual object. We live in a digital world already; surely these places should be a sanctuary from it.

Bomberg was born in Birmingham not the east end of London!

Fantastic! Thanks, Andrew!

Wonderful, thank you

Yes i could happily live with all those paintings and sketches..fantastic.. best nugget.

Very inspiring!

Excellent work as always. You’re almost too good at what you do.

Been a fan of your work since watching your series on the Renaissance as a kid. Your enthusiasm really is infectious!

love his enthusiasm and great art!

Interesting... Russian painter Vasily Vereshchagin (the author of "The Apotheosis of War" (1871) considered frames to be the parts of the paintings, as if it's one inseparable thing 🤔

Auerbach is the greatest living British painter in my humble opinion

I just found your video on my homepage and love the style. Please continue!

Superb, I will have to call by and take a look. Daniel Katz Gallery own one of my favourite Frank Auerbach early drawings, I saw it close up at the Tate a few years ago. A self portrait from about 1958 on paper in chalk and charcoal. The reworking of the drawing and resulting texture, where he patches on new pieces of paper are extraordinary. It gives the portrait an almost three dimensional appearance.

❤

Sometimes, no frame is not a bad idea, especially for modern art. That is how Morandi used to hang his own paintings in his studio. Also Modigliani

I would choose Courbet's Burial at Ornans. Jericho's Raft of the Medusa is still a history painting
