These talks are just wonderful. Full of information which is given in entertaining and thought provoking ways. I remember far more after watching a Waldemar documentary than after watching one from, say, The National Gallery. I think I have now seen all the Waldemar vidoes on UA-cam and am going round for a second time.

So old Gauguin was 42 when he set off for Tahiti! There’s hope for me yet! Little late to the plate at 31 but perhaps my Nevermore or Two Tahitian Women is still hanging in the ranks!
Loved the way you tied things together. Meshes well into your video on Van Gogh, another spiritually conflicted man. Thank you. BTW, it wasn't the "tree of knowledge," it was the "tree of the knowledge of good and evil." There's a difference between just facts and information, and the placement of value.
He was not spiritually conflicted ...he had a brain abscess near ear canal affected cognitive function and spread to the frontal lobe. Medical tragedy.
@@iansing5278 Adam was already "aware." He distinguished the trees and named the animals. Good and evil speaks of a value range,. as in this is good and that is bad, or this has meaning, that does not. Sp when God made the world, he judged all that he saw, "good." After eating from the tree however, Adam and his wife were ashamed of what they saw (their nakedness). What one valued, the others did not.
@@venanziocalise946 Or bipolar disorder/schizophrenia. But he was definitely not a well man. The ear surgery thing was TRAGIC it must have been so traumatizing to little van Gogh. Rough times.
It's a nice, heartwarming story, but nothing is mentioned about what Gauguin got up to later, in Tahiti, where he had four teenage mistresses, the youngest of whom was thirteen. One can't help wondering if he had regrets about what DIDN'T happen between himself and Madeleine ? Nevertheless, it's beautifully told by Waldemar, who's enthusiasm for his subject is irresistable.
@@debbiesunlight7047 may be he means that just being to that place, and some time later realising that place has some cultural significance and you being there somehow makes you a cultured person is a bit arrogant and pompous. That's something that Americans would say. Especially the greatest president ever. IDK if you are one btw. You probably meant as a joke, but for me personally that kind of stuff I heard in the 9th grade in HS. Funny or not .....? At least you didn't say go ef your self. I guess that's good.

There's a painting of two peasants young girls (sad facial expression) standing above top a hill, (i have a replica poster) Reluctant to say i am disappointed the authentic of this particular Gauguin's masterpiece, was not shown.
I love your work, Waldemar. I learn so much. Someday, I hope to take your steps and view these works in person. How very beautiful - and haunting. Subscribed, dear sir. 💐
Did you meet Gauguin? Did you talk to him? Have you painted anything close to his works? Very easy to talk trash about him on the internet without having met him when he’s not around to defend himself. Very big of you.
jay dubya The Polynesians disagree with you, his two wives, their families, the island that refused the French occupation but welcomed him to come and die there.
@@andrewkilvert328 Hmmm. Well, after his marriage fell apart he did ditch his wife and 5 kids and eventually landed in Polynesia in 1891 where he would bang underaged girls (I know, I know...he went to "find the primitive" for his art and all that, but there's also this creepy little fact that when he was 42 in Tahiti he got 13 yr. old Tehaamana pregnant and abandoned her and his child in 1893). So make what you will of that.
@@jaydubya3698 Unlike the French colonial authorities who were happy to impregnate their servants and then abrogate responsibility for the children, Gauguin MARRIED his first wife so in custom he is now related to all of the Polynesians on all of the Islands in Tahiti. This comes with responsibility, there are strict customary rules in tambu and kundere relationships. He built a house he took care of his wife which means he also took care of his other hundreds of Polynesian relatives. When he came back and his first wife took a look at the state of him she was happy to stay with her new man. At the end of his life he waged war with his pamphlets against the French colonial authorities and was welcomed as a hero on the most remote hardcore Island that refused French occupation. The fact that she was 15 and he was 40 or 42 is irrelevant, this was perfectly acceptible at the time and still is in many parts of the Pacific. The worst type of racist in my book is not your typical US MAGA hat wearing inbred but the type who have the utmost respect for indigenous culture when they are doing nice little dances for the tourists or making quaint artworks they can put in their houses so they can show their friends just how cool they are with indigenous people but when it actually comes down to the clan processes of marriage start moralising. We don't come to your leafy suburbs or council tenements or Alabama trailer parks and moralise at you about your culture or lack thereof.
I think Gauguin gave the coquettish, spiritual Madeline copious fond kisses and left it at that. He loved her and her brother... and that made all the difference... Then again...
. I agree. His grating voice, intrusive presence and mispronunciation of Gauguin as "Gauganne" seem to amount to some sort of aggressive inverted snobbery. Even the written text apparently deliberately mis-spells the name three times, "Gaugin".
It takes a catholic to know a catholic, and correct or not, it's a great story. Religion's stories lie on top of older traits. One suspects that Gauguin's saintliness was encouraged by firm disinterest from Madeline.

That was a great video. Love Gauguin. So he had a crush on Maddy, she was only 17, he behaved himself. That's refreshing. A lot of his paintings are sexy in a way, but innocent at the same time. The 'Two Tahitian Women', those chicks are hot!

Some believe that Gauguin cut Van High’s ear in a saber fight and that Vincent covered up for him. Also he slept with under age girls in Tahiti, different traditions there (allegedly). Nothing proven. Also he abandoned his wife and kids in DK.
Of ik een misarabele geestelijk is zij aan geknaagd,doof, analfabeet, vrouwtje knudde, luiaard 🦥 nou de rest mogen zij invullen 😂😂🤪🙃😇ra ra hoeveel personen herbergt zij ???
A 40 year old Gaugin was always into girls under the age of 18. I wouldn't be surprised if he did do something to her and I'm sure he wouldn't have regretted it but the girl would have.
I have lived and worked with Poynesians and Melanesian people all my life (I am now 53), so I have a pretty good understanding of people here and custom. Why do you you automatically assume that his 2 Polyneisan wives and their families, and their clans have no agency. Do you think that because they are not European therefore they are stupid?
I deeply dislike Gauguin because, through his paintings, he gave the world a representation of all Polynesian young girls and women as easy and available for sex.
Zo heb ik een poosje drie Franse meisjes begeleid om de route van huis naar school te laten zien ,want hun vader was van Nederlandse afkomst en hun moeder was van Franse afkomst,zo ging ik met hun kinderen in de bus naar school ( lagere school) alle drie namen weet ik nog een Madelene,Evelin en de jongste was choe choe was misschien een koosnaam,drie leuke kinderen maar de Franse taal Oh la la om je erin te verslikken heb hun niet zolang begeleid omdat ik de leeftijd had om van school te gaan naar voortgezet,heb hun eigelijk niet weergezien ( jammer)
I hate how Western historians always regard ancient cultures (including their own) as "primititve". It's a brazen arrogant mindset and Mr Waldeman perpetuates that old, out of fashion belief.
Wat kan Gods wegen toch vreemd verlopen ,maar twijfelen eraan NEE ,Dat was ook de vraag aan God wat is liefde en hij liet niet lang op zich wachten op zich vrij snel na die vraag ( misschien is het inderdaad op proef stellen,misschien vond God het een vreemde vraag en dat dat moet je nu toch wel weten,ik heb je altijd gedragen ,je uit het vuur gered is dat geen liefde je kon altijd bij mij terecht in moeilijke momenten en dan vraag jij wat liefde is en zoals gezegd liefde overwint altijd ,mensen beseffen het niet maar het gekke is dat in gevaarlijke situaties roept iedereen gelovig of niet OH MIJN GOD EN IEDEREEN VIERT KERST EN PASEN GELOVIG OF NIET IK ZOU ZEGGEN GOD IS ER ELKE DAG VOOR IEDER DIE HEM UITNODIGT IN ZIJN OF HAAR LEVEN 😊
First, I'd like to thank Waldemere for a very beautiful rendition of the early life of Gaugin. I have one question:is Gaugin a Spanish name or was he actually a converso and because he was Jewish he chose that name? Secondly, I have a comment: the way I read it is that he decided that within his own culture, for 40 year old man to consort with a 17 year old woman-child was unacceptable so he took off to another culture- the islands of Tahiti-in order to fulfill his lust with their children THAT'S just a fact. I guess it's a cynical fact but that's not my doing. THE truth lies in the facts. I believe there he fathered many children that he did not care for. He was a brilliant artist but that was his dark side: I guess the angel lost that battle.
He is one of the my favorite painter and he was not jew. ( Thank God). There are overrated and highly hyped Jewish painters that i know; Chagal & Rothko
@@carpediem1724 I don't think the jewishness really enters into the overratedness (with you on Rothko btw) but you don't wanna be going blaming random unrelated factors. Otherwise someone might go "I hope your favourite artist isn't a white man. Most overrated artists are white men!" (Which they of course are, but not because being white and Male makes you inherently bad at painting but because other mechanisms are involved)
He was a pervy bastard that's for sure. The times might be an excuse for a younger wife but Gaugin continuously sought out girls between 13-17, no women in the lot after his wife, it wasn't even an isolated incident. Undeniably a "pee dough"
His first wife was not 17 but 15 years old, as was was perfectly acceptable not only in Polynesian custom but in white custom at the time. His marriages were consensual and the only reason that I can see for your moralising like this is that he married 2 non white women. You are sounding very racist THAT's a fact.
Choosing to wrestle with an angel makes no sense. If having human physical strength is supposed to prove something, then why even wrestle? Why not have a UFC style competition instead, where any form of inflicting damage is permitted? Do angels have testicles which can be kicked? If not, then I guess UFC rules would be unfair, and perhaps that is why wrestling was the chosen combat format.
Ik dacht al wat loopt hij moeilijk vast van hekje gevallen of iets anders wat zwaar weegt ( geweten) 😁iets wat ik nog niet weet zal wel een surprise zijn,hij houdt van kiekeboe spelletje

Ik denk dat men weer zijn oor heeft laten hangen naar wat men horen wil maar ik wil mij niet verdedigen voor iets wat niet is gebeurt dus daar zul je het mee moeten doen en weet je vind het zelfs amusant
When it's Waldemar, it should be called something else. The other Perspective episodes pale in comparison. He deserves his own show.
Ja maar die show moet men iets te showen hebben zoals een masker 😷 of veren die men een voor een uittrekt ,moet ik misschien de Pauw spelen waar men die veren van kan bewonderen en al roepen zij Pauw Pauw ik ben mooier dan jij , zal ik met een vreemde geluid hun te kennen geven ook al is mijn vliegkunst vlak over de grond echt neerstorten is het niet 🦚 maar ben wel een en al oor 👂👈😂

Some believe that Gauguin cut Van High’s ear in a saber fight and that Vincent covered up for him. Also he slept with under age girls in Tahiti, different traditions there (allegedly). Nothing proven. Also he abandoned his wife and kids in DK.
Next assignment Waldermar walks thru the Senate hearings & describes what he sees & hear about all these characters like Mitch McConnell

amazing...thank you for revealing the truth about the yellow Christ
Ja heb ik weer een monnik- werk
A 40 year old Gaugin was always into girls under the age of 18. I wouldn't be surprised if he did do something to her and I'm sure he wouldn't have regretted it but the girl would have.
I have lived and worked with Poynesians and Melanesian people all my life (I am now 53), so I have a pretty good understanding of people here and custom. Why do you you automatically assume that his 2 Polyneisan wives and their families, and their clans have no agency. Do you think that because they are not European therefore they are stupid?
@@andrewkilvert328 bestaan domme mensen ,nooit zo gedacht dus ook over deze mensen niet
I deeply dislike Gauguin because, through his paintings, he gave the world a representation of all Polynesian young girls and women as easy and available for sex.
G. Ese gran desconocido.
William Blake....please.
Does anyone know if Gaugin's family were actually conversos; I had read that he was actually a Jewish Banker from Brazil.
from Peru
Zo heb ik een poosje drie Franse meisjes begeleid om de route van huis naar school te laten zien ,want hun vader was van Nederlandse afkomst en hun moeder was van Franse afkomst,zo ging ik met hun kinderen in de bus naar school ( lagere school) alle drie namen weet ik nog een Madelene,Evelin en de jongste was choe choe was misschien een koosnaam,drie leuke kinderen maar de Franse taal Oh la la om je erin te verslikken heb hun niet zolang begeleid omdat ik de leeftijd had om van school te gaan naar voortgezet,heb hun eigelijk niet weergezien ( jammer)
I hate how Western historians always regard ancient cultures (including their own) as "primititve". It's a brazen arrogant mindset and Mr Waldeman perpetuates that old, out of fashion belief.
Puzzled as to why Hawaiian language music when discussing Tahiti. They are two different places with two different languages...
It's not Hawaiian Anna. I recorded the music in Tahiti!
Wat kan Gods wegen toch vreemd verlopen ,maar twijfelen eraan NEE ,Dat was ook de vraag aan God wat is liefde en hij liet niet lang op zich wachten op zich vrij snel na die vraag ( misschien is het inderdaad op proef stellen,misschien vond God het een vreemde vraag en dat dat moet je nu toch wel weten,ik heb je altijd gedragen ,je uit het vuur gered is dat geen liefde je kon altijd bij mij terecht in moeilijke momenten en dan vraag jij wat liefde is en zoals gezegd liefde overwint altijd ,mensen beseffen het niet maar het gekke is dat in gevaarlijke situaties roept iedereen gelovig of niet OH MIJN GOD EN IEDEREEN VIERT KERST EN PASEN GELOVIG OF NIET IK ZOU ZEGGEN GOD IS ER ELKE DAG VOOR IEDER DIE HEM UITNODIGT IN ZIJN OF HAAR LEVEN 😊

First, I'd like to thank Waldemere for a very beautiful rendition of the early life of Gaugin. I have one question:is Gaugin a Spanish name or was he actually a converso and because he was Jewish he chose that name?
Secondly, I have a comment: the way I read it is that he decided that within his own culture, for 40 year old man to consort with a 17 year old woman-child was unacceptable so he took off to another culture- the islands of Tahiti-in order to fulfill his lust with their children THAT'S just a fact. I guess it's a cynical fact but that's not my doing. THE truth lies in the facts. I believe there he fathered many children that he did not care for. He was a brilliant artist but that was his dark side: I guess the angel lost that battle.
Gauguin was a French family name. It means walnut-grower. There are lots of Gauguins near Orleans. He wasn't Jewish or a converso.
He is one of the my favorite painter and he was not jew. ( Thank God). There are overrated and highly hyped Jewish painters that i know; Chagal & Rothko
@@carpediem1724 I don't think the jewishness really enters into the overratedness (with you on Rothko btw) but you don't wanna be going blaming random unrelated factors. Otherwise someone might go "I hope your favourite artist isn't a white man. Most overrated artists are white men!" (Which they of course are, but not because being white and Male makes you inherently bad at painting but because other mechanisms are involved)
He was a pervy bastard that's for sure. The times might be an excuse for a younger wife but Gaugin continuously sought out girls between 13-17, no women in the lot after his wife, it wasn't even an isolated incident. Undeniably a "pee dough"
His first wife was not 17 but 15 years old, as was was perfectly acceptable not only in Polynesian custom but in white custom at the time. His marriages were consensual and the only reason that I can see for your moralising like this is that he married 2 non white women. You are sounding very racist THAT's a fact.
Could you guys ease up on the ads? 6 in this 30-minute video.
I agree!
Theosophy not hard to work out but WE are in Dnile).
Choosing to wrestle with an angel makes no sense. If having human physical strength is supposed to prove something, then why even wrestle? Why not have a UFC style competition instead, where any form of inflicting damage is permitted? Do angels have testicles which can be kicked? If not, then I guess UFC rules would be unfair, and perhaps that is why wrestling was the chosen combat format.

Waldemar , Im sending you some cream for your blistered/bunyoned sore feet
Thank you!
Ik dacht al wat loopt hij moeilijk vast van hekje gevallen of iets anders wat zwaar weegt ( geweten) 😁iets wat ik nog niet weet zal wel een surprise zijn,hij houdt van kiekeboe spelletje
I read that he lost his job in a stock market crash of the time- deserted his wife and children.
Over wie hebben wij het nu , voor vrouw en kinderen heel erg tenzij het niet veel uitmaakte voor hun twee ,alles heeft een oorzaak en vaak door langere onvolkomenheden van en voor elkaar wat zich opstapelt
His name is spelled Gaughin.
Gauguin
I like this series, but it's unwatchable because of all the commercials. Every 3.5 minutes. Too much. You've killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Unsubscribing, sadly.
Get premium.
Kinda like good art. something about it is going to bother you. Because its not yours. But you will look and listen because you need something.
