The naïve art of Henri "Le Douanier" Rousseau
In today’s episode, we take a look at self-taught painter, Henri “Le Douanier” Rousseau. The most famous of the naïve artists, Henri Rousseau started to paint later in life and worked really hard to be taken seriously as a painter and to belong among the artists of his era. Instead, he won the appreciation and respect of the new generation of avant-garde of painters and writers, because he had the force and audacity that they were looking for with their work, in order to make room for the new big ideas that were reshaping society. Today, Henri Rousseau’s work is exhibited in some of the most prestigious museums and galleries in the world, alongside the greatest names of his era. What he wouldn’t have given to have that in his own lifetime! Thank you for watching!

The Mysterious Art of Sascha Schneider
Переглядів 85 тис.2 місяці тому
In today’s episode, we will be discussing the mysterious art of Sascha Schneider, a German symbolist that the world has largely forgotten about. Sascha Schneider's characters go beyond being mere expressions of homoeroticism, which seems to be the main tag given to his overall body of work; the unique way in which he imagined the beings in his art, really set him aside from other expressionists...
How should we interpret the controversial art of Balthus?

Are Balthus’s paintings of teenage girls exploitative or just provocations of an artist that is willing to go very far to create a powerful impression? Today, we discuss Balthus’s life and paintings and the way the world has reacted to them, so far. If you’d like to share your opinion about what these paintings say to you and how you look at them, join the comment section, so that we can unders...

In this episode, we will be visiting ten of French Impressionist painter Claude Monet’s best winter landscapes, from various moments of the artist’s career. Weather it’s a landscape at Giverny from his later years, an frosty image of the river Seine or a train station near Argenteuil, Monet’s winter scenes are some of the best in painting history. I hope you enjoy them! Relevant data in the vid...

In today’s episode we talk about Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl and his iconic life size painting The Souls of Acheron, painted in 1898 in Vienna. Known for his preference in painting mythological or historical scenes, Hirémy-Hirschl became one of Vienna’s most successful painters, alongside the likes of Gustav Klimt (in his mural painting period). The Souls of Acheron is quite an eerie image of desperat...
Was Goya’s portrait of King Charles IV of Spain and his family a satire?

In this episode, we meet the members of the Spanish royal family, as seen by illustrious painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes in 1800. We also dive into the criticism the characters received in the following years, after the painting was revealed. The portrait of King Charles IV of Spain and his family was one of Goya’s emblematic works, as he was silently breaking the mold of royal portraits,...

Who was Emilie Flöge? Muse to painter Gustav Klimt, avant-garde designer, forgotten icon!
Переглядів 12 тис.10 місяців тому
Emilie Louise Flöge (30 August 1874 - 26 May 1952, Austria, Vienna) From muse and lifelong companion to painter Gustav Klimt, to fashion innovator and forgotten icon - Emilie Flöge was much more than a character in a painting and research shows us the valuable role she played in Vienna’s social and cultural life in the early 1900’s. So, let's get to know more about this fascinating and complex ...
Thanks for this intro on his work. I found The Anarchist a very interesting drawing, but I am not sure of S. Schneider´s intention to it. Or should I assume he war against anarchism since he praised the classical way of presentig the male body and so the worid shculd not change?
Thank you for watching! You have a good point, but I think he did want the world to change and be more progressive in some ways and not change and keep some thing as they are; the classical way of presenting the male body is one o the things he wouldn't have changed, I think... . Other than that, we can only speculate...
Very interesting, great artist, pleasant commentator. All good , thank you
So glad you liked it! Thank you for watching!
I don't want to see into his mind for even a second
A scary place, indeed!
Absolutely love Emilie Floge. My dream would be to travel back in time to have tea with her and Margaret Macdonald Macintosh. How tragic that none of her creations have survived.
You have very good taste, Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh was also such a brilliant female artist. Thanks for watching and writing your thoughts! 🌹
No matter how you look at his work there is the obvious theme of homoerotica. I’ve no problem with that but some religious people would not approve, however that’s their loss.
I find them deeply frightening.....
They are!
What I miss here, is a remarkable Schneider art work showing Jesus and Mohammed standing side by side, and looking at each other with disdain/suspicion. Right, the painting is titled "Jesus, or Mohammed". A religious clash. Both wear long skirts, the Prophet shows bare arms and a bare chest. Jesus is dressed more "decent", he has only a shoulder and an arm bared. These days, Muslims will consider the rendering of the Prophet blasphemic. Also, since the 19th century, it is forbidden to show Mohammed or Allah's face...
Yes, well, that's a cover illustration he did for Karl May, as a commission . I wanted to concentrate more on Schneider's independent work. But its indeed, extremely interesting how the two characters are portrayed (Mohammad has a sword he is prepared to take out if necessary). Thank you for adding the info, its extremely valuable!
@@LayersInArt 😁...And Jesus seems to think, "I can take you on, bully!" Have you considered to do a post about N C Wyeth? I know that "splatter" painters Jackson Pollock and Wiilem de Kooning sell better to museums, but I love Wyeth a lot more.
@@willemvandeursen3105 Ill definitely think about it, thank you :)
Strange . . . very strange. The ones with beasts and men remind me of Maurice Sendak's work . . . .
Very true. It makes you wonder how did Schneider imagine these characters, very strange indeed.
@@LayersInArt Nightmares after his Mum read him to sleep with Sendak??😱
@@richardcleveland8549 I'm also inclined to think the same, the evidence is there😄
@@LayersInArt Well, imagination is a wonderful thing . . . but it isn't given to everyone . . . AND, one person's imagined paradise might be another's imagined hell!
@@richardcleveland8549 very true!
This is a wonderful discovery, thank you!!!! Is there a biography abut him in English?
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, all the material I could find was in German and much of it linked to the collaboration with Karl May
William Blake was never knighted,so he was always just MR William Blake, not SIR William Blake.
Yes, you are right, thank you for watching and mentioning that!
Previously unknown to me and thank you for the episode 🇿🇦🌹
You are welcome and thank you for watching!
What an incredible introduction to your channel! Thank you so much for exposing me and all of us to Schneider‘s work, I look forward to viewing your other videos.
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! Stay tuned, there is more to come!
Thank you for covering this artist . Such beautiful images . From an ex art teacher in Christchurch New Zealand .
Thank you also, for watching the video and taking time to write - it really means a lot to hear this from an ex art teacher!
Thank you for your comment . You are welcome .
Thank you for your comment . You are welcome .🙂
Holy cow, says a lot about the climate of Saint Petersburg when the family moves to Switzerland for a warmer climate.
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for this very insightful video. I had seen a bit of his work before but went away confused as to it's meaning, so this was very helpful and informative. Having to leave his native country to be himself and safe from prison struck me as very sad but it seems that he prospered from it. Once again, thank you and I look forward to more analysis of the lesser known artists.
Thank you for watching and writing such kind words. Like I said in the video, there is much inspiration to be drawn from the life and work of Sascha Schneider and great artists, in general. There is more to come, hope it will be just as interesting!
I don't recall ever hearing about Schneider, but some of his works do look familiar. Thanks for the introduction.
Thank you for watching, there is more to come!
A stunning study of Schneider's art. Thank you!
Thank you, also, for watching and I'm really glad you found it interesting!
Fascinating drawings full of imagination and mysticism and thankfully not religion.
They are truly fascinating and full of symbolism! Thank you for watching!
How interesting! Always such muted colours, if any.
I guess he didn't need much color to create a powerful impression. Thank you for watching and writing your thoughts!
It is difficult for me to select my favorite drawing by Sascha Schneider. But, if I must, then I would pick his drawing entitled Hypnosis (1904). Prof. Dr. Dr. H. James Birx, New York/Belgrade
Hypnosis is indeed one of his very best works!
Grazie, thanks 🌌
Prego!☀
So interesting to get some insight into the artist's thought process. Only by happenstance did I get to hear from the artist's own mouth his views on his own work. I attended a lecture by Felix De Weldon (sculptor of Iwo Jima memorial) at the Naval War College auditorium, Newport, RI. He, too, reflected that he had been good at drawing from a very young age.
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write your thoughts. As far as the artist's thought process is concerned, it is indeed a rare privilege to hear first hand from the artists themselves. If not, much of the art remains free for interpretation.
An excellent introduction to Sascha Schneider! The images are engaging & provocative! Prof. Dr. Dr. H. James Birx, New. York
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I do not agree, @user-pw4rw3nz7y Layers in Art repeats the same Schneider illustrations over and over again. A dive into Google Pictures gives much more choice...f.i. the painting of a nude boy in a.mountain meadow getting fight lessons from his with his older tutor. Who is dressed in an ankle-length colorful apron. It's a bit pederast, but both characters are damn sexy... 😊
Thanks!
Thank you also, for watching!
Interesting video, well presented. Thank you :-)
Thank you also, for watching and taking time to write :)
She was also a true artist ! And very beautiful.
This video left me asking why we've not heard more about this amazing, trailblazing woman. So interesting and informative about two dedicated artists.
Somehow, history forgot about her, but we can learn about her life and work and, this way, we give back some of what was taken away from her :) Thank you for watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this informative video! This group of artists and their time period is extremely inspiring to me ❤.
Thank you for this video 😊😊😊😊
Thank you for watching! 😊🌺
What a women!
Thank you! Hope to see more videos about these Wonderful women!
Thank you for watching and writing your thoughts! It is indeed a subject worth exploring, because you find such interesting and inspiring life stories! 🌷
She has an afro!!!!
Another time...another world altogether...how relevant is it now?
Great question! Thank you for watching!
What a bunch of prudes
You do realise that the cat in the first image in "The Cat" section is a (really bad) copy of a cat by Hogarth, don't yopu?
What a great observation, I had no idea about Hogarth's cat, thank you for pointing it out!
The Cat in The Mirror is one of (at least?) three pictures with similar poses - thank you for the Hogarth reference (a bad copy? that is your opinion) which I find considerably elucidates the three pictures. In the picture shown in Layers in Art film the girl is naked and is showing the cat its own reflection - in the Hogarth the Cat is looking hungrily at a caged bird with clear intent - so the Girl seems to be showing the cat its own predatory face and thus obscuring her own nakedness from the cat's gaze though of course not from ours ! In the other two versions of the set up the Girl is clothed, in different fashions, and she has the mirror facing herself which seems to elicit quite different responses from the Cat. The Mediterranean Cat - about to consume his fish platter - caught my attention as the Cat, although certainly a Cat, also seems to be very Fox like!??? Balthus does seem to have a lot of fun with his audience!!
@@Thepdela1 Thank you for watching and joining the conversation! Indeed, that cat of the Mediterranean certainly looks like a fox! :)
Супер!
Спасибо!
Может быть надо подождать в оценкой
Super gemacht und faszinierend! Danke aus sonnigem Wien, Scott
Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen, Scott! Ich freue mich, dass es dir gefallen hat!
beautifully put together, also I loved her designs and the dresses that she wore, incredible talent.
Thank you for watching and writing your kind thoughts! She was extremely talented and deserving of world-wide recognition in her own right!
If "Theresa" was painted on a Beach, on a Sun Lounger, in a Bikini no body would bat an eyelid..... She is fully dressed.... It is the mind of the viewer that is the problem.... :-))
Thank you for watching and joining the talk :)
@@LayersInArtThis is YT... You don`t have to look very far to see a Thong Bikini worn by Ladies of All ages..... :-)) xx
Absolutely clear...no need to intellectualise his obsession...and those of his arty friends. A great artist ? no!
He is considered to be one of the greatest artists in history, in spite or because of what seems to appear obsessively as his preferred subject... Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
From Denver - An important story very beautifully and professionally presented. The creativity and humanity of both Emilie Floge and Gustav Klimt were well represented. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to write such a nice comment, it really means a lot!
Amazing woman! "The Painted Kiss" is a beautiful historical fiction novel about their relationship that seems very well researched.
Amei saber mais um pouco sobre eles, principalmente sobre ela, que talento para moda!!
Beautiful and interesting. ❤
Thank you for watching! Glad you liked it!
Informative and enjoyable, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and writing such a nice comment 🌹
I agree that your research, presentation and voiceover were excellent. Enjoyed it very much, thank you.
Thank you for watching and for your very nice comment, I'm happy you enjoyed it 🌷
He was very talented but he looked like he had poor hygiene habits,like not bathing.!!!
🤭🤭🤭😄
Appreciate you mentioned it, because Flöge may be considered the Viennese Chanel (and also, let's not forget Lanvin, Paquin and Vionnet, all superbly talented women, determined to make fashion comfortable though each in her own style). Voice/research/presentation is very good - thank you.
Thank you for watching and writing your thoughts on this episode, I appreciate it 🌹
