"It has the audacity to be beautiful" brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful reminder when the world seems so dark and brutal, that against all odds it has the audacity to be *beautiful*
Ja this was a tear trigger for sure.
I'm gonna remember that quote for the rest of my life
When Brittany was talking about nature and how “they have survived at all odds and have the audacity to be beautiful” I broke into tears. I resonate w that sm and that’s probably one of my new fav quotes
it was so profound I had an existential crisis
It’s the way my ADHD and anxiety leaves my body when Brittany talks about art history. She is so incredibly smart, amazing.

💯💯💯💯 didn’t even know how interested in art history I was until Brittany started teaching me 🥲🥲
Same. ❤
PREACH
I have a literal master’s degree in art history and loveeee this series. I HATED Rothko when I first studied him, thought his pieces were overrated, but that completely changed when I saw one of his pieces in person. His paintings are HUGE, it literally engulfed me, sucked me in, and I couldn’t stop staring at it. It tapped something in my mind that I’ve never accessed before, I almost had an existential crisis honestly LMAO but it really changed my mind about his art 🥺
I think that’s the problem with seeing art in books or online versus real life. I didn’t ‘get’ monets waterlilies until I stumbled onto it at the Portland art museum (didn’t even know they had it showing at the time, I feel very lucky). I just sat on the floor in front of it for 20 minutes. Could have done 2 hours. I always assumed people used ‘normal’ canvases like a 2x4. I didn’t realize most ‘famous’ pieces are very large until I saw them irl. Definitely feels like you can walk right into the art.
@@strawberrycherrybabyExactly!! Part of the reason why I studied art history is because it’s a physical manifestation of the human mind. Pictures on a phone or in a book don’t cut it, you 100% have to experience art in person. It’s also really beautiful how we can connect to the same works of art that people generations ago have enjoyed too 🥺
It's very frustrating for me to see these pieces hung on white walls in well lit rooms. They should dominate ALL of your vision.
Virtually, I only felt what Brittany said when these pieces suddenly took over the entire screen. I was paying full attention to the video and holding the phone very close to my face, so I felt immersed in the image.
They should take all of your vision: be hung in walls painted with collors that continued the piece (so your peripheral vision isn't ruined by a white wall) and have no direct lighting on them.
Ideally, the exhibition rooms should never be full so the viewer gets to look at the paintings with no rush.
Ahaha Im workin on my BA in art history and i couldnt agree with you more! Also so cool to see art history being represented like this, im loving this series
@@bruisy_591 I hear you! That would be an AMAZING idea for a traveling exhibit. I’m lucky I live super close to a couple of museums that have rooms dedicated to Rothko, all with white walls, and honestly when you’re standing in front of these paintings you don’t really notice the white walls at all. I think due to how massive the pieces are but also how deceptively detailed they are. But absolutely LOVE the idea of making Rothko paintings even more immersive!
Loved this miss broski. I'm a girly in STEM so art history actually couldn't be farther from my wheelhouse, but this was so informative and INTERESTING. Looking forward to more content like this.
women in stem 🙏🏻🗣🤚🏻🍻🥰💖
YES
As an art school graduate, sometimes I want to convey these ideas about my favorite artists to friends but it’s hard to conversationally. I love these videos because they’re a perfect reference to point at when I really want someone to understand an artist but can’t hit all the points myself
Particularly with Rothko, because the only way I could explain him before was to say “idk man but if you ever see one in person you will cry”
As an art student, Brittany you’re better than any professor I’ve had. Please make an entire fart history series I need more of this.
She has a playlist with a few of these videos!
Yes more fart
Definitely! I've been forwarding her fart series to my daughter, who's studying art at the moment and loves them!
@@njj1117what a cool parent u are
Yes I want more fart videos
i love how brittany can do the peepee poopoo sam hartman of it all and then give us a deep dive into art history quite literally a week later… duality of women at its finest
I love women when they put that thing down flip it and reverse it, inspiring
I stood in front of a Rothko in New York for the first time a few years ago. At the time I was with a very toxic/narcissistic ex. I was so incredibly moved and really did not expect to be, anyway... he told me I was feeling.interpreting it wrong and got mad at me lol. Since then Ive been wanting to go back and have a more authentic experience and be able to feel free in my own interpretation. Thanks for educating in such a non-pretentious way. Its so refreshing and actually very healing for me to hear this taught like that.
"while beating all odds, it has the audacity to be beautiful" you changed my life
You are the one content creator that shows the complexity of being human. She's funny, but she's not JUST funny, she's also very thoughtful and intelligent. Thanks for sharing so many sides of you with us!
YES exactly
I feel like a lot of creators feel like they have to lean into “the character” that originally brought them fame
yes we love her for sharing this art appreciation for us!
Creators like Brittany show how the UA-cam and all social media should be. Joining groups you favor, sharing knowledge, having fun, deep discussion.
The UA-cam
shes just everything i loved about youtube
All I can say is that you Brittany have a truly artistic, human soul. To feel so deeply and compassionately about art or music or whatever you may be interested in. I just have so much respect for you because of how much you care.
As an art student and someone who has always loved Rothko's paintings, thank you so much for making this video.
When people say they just "don't get art" or say things like "a kid could've done that" talking about pieces like these it makes me genuinely sad for them, because looking at art in a more profound way and understanding it as something that is inherently a part of being a human is such an amazing perspective to have, but the society we live in today makes it hard for people to even have the time or energy to look away from their work and responsibilities to take a moment to REALLY look at art, understand it or feel it. So I appreciate someone with such a huge audience making an effort to explain this all so eloquently and hopefully get more people interested in art in general :)
Genuinely having one of the worst days I have EVER had, and Brittney’s thoughts on sometimes not seeing the birds and the trees but someday being able to see and appreciate them hit home and has me openly crying. I appreciate these videos so much
Hey I'm sorry you're going through that, hope you feel better soon
i’m sorry you’re going though it rn, sending you lots of love!!
You got this 🫶🏼
I hope tomorrow treats you more kindly❤
Omg I had a very similar experience. It came at the right moment, and I'm happy for us!❤
im not a huge expressionism/ abstract girlie, that being said Brittany can literally make me care about anything simply with her enthusiasm. The care with which she describes Rothko’s art i’m immediately like ok, i need to go to a museum and stare at a Rothko from one foot away for 3 hours and cry about it. i love you Brittany, you’re so cool. thanks for letting me learn things as a 20 year old ❤️
Have you always been into visual art? It sounds awful but I feel like I just don't "get" art. It never really makes me feel anything besides "that's pretty" or "that's ugly" and I wanna change that! I wish it could touch me the way music does.
@@etta5487 Maybe you've just never found visual art that's truly moved you, and maybe visual art just doesn't do for you what music does. You don't have to enjoy or experience anything the same way others do. "That's pretty" and "that's ugly" are still very valid reactions/opinions on art.
Absurdism is the true release of ego.
Soooo grateful your sharing this for the kids, Brittany. It’s so meaningful to bring this excitement for art and philosophy and life to youth who may not otherwise. Ya doin’ real charity, queen. Bless.
First time I saw a Rothko I knew nothing about him; it stopped me completely in my tracks in a gallery, I just had to sit and stare. I felt grief, peace, silence/chaos - the whole lot. You couldn’t have explained it better 💕
As someone who is deeply insufferable, I hate how much these kinds of paintings are written off and misunderstood. Thank you for making an accessible and interesting explanation of expressionism and abstract art and why it's not just nothing.
we love a history queen!!!!!! our fearless leader strikes again
Brittany inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging..
If Brittney ever wrote a book I would read it so fast.
Wow, "the audiacity to be beautiful" just hit me, especially when you bring the concept of the "sublime" into it. Brittany, you are truly a woman beyond us. Thank you for this.
I thought Rothko's works were boring and basic until I saw one in real life. Now he's one of my favorites. Do Hopper next.
Second this!! Love Edward Hopper
I literally cried watching this video Brittany...
I've always found it so hard to 'get' art and struggled to understand why it is so popular and important and I'm gonna be honest that has made me feel very insecure and dumb in a way. Hearing you explain all this is helping me so so much in understanding art and making me actually feeling my emotions and that is really healing for me!
I can can feel myself growing and learning and I love it. :)
I just want to say a big big thank you to you❤
I learned about Rothko before going to the MoMA museum in New York in 2022. Knowing the backstory to his paintings I stood in front of one (actually featured in this video @ 8:53) and silently contemplated my shitty life at the time. It led me to tears. I could hear people behind me whispering, I can only assume they found it a little silly for me to be crying over a painting like that, but his paintings truly did for me what he intended. Thank you for bringing light to different artists, I think it really does make a difference on how you perceive art once you know the history behind the artist.
I took art history in college and these videos are more interesting and captivating than what I learned in the classroom, you can tell she’s passionate about what she talks about & I love it
He would be proud to see that someone understands even the deepest reasoning behind his works and found what he was trying to convey.
I highly recommend reading or watching the play “Red”. It’s essentially about Rothko creating the Seagram murals. Just two characters - Rothko and his assistant who starts to question him. The filmed production I think is on prime and it’s so fascinating, especially as a Rothko admirer.
I was a prop master for this play during undergrad. It was super fun and made me appreciate Rothko and art in general on a whole new level.
Thank you for giving Rothko his due. NGL his work was not super interesting when I first learned about him in art school, but comparing him to the Romantics and the philosophers of the time was a great way to add proper context. As an older artist, the abstract has grown so much in appeal. Also you remind me of my favorite art history teacher ❤ made sure I had her for all four years.
Latvians are proud to say he was actually born in nowaday Latvia (and even then it was Latvia, just occupied by Russia), we have a museum dedicated to him. :)
You're so amazing, I just love everything that you do, making educational concent is just... I have no words, you're the best.
I love just listening to this woman talk
You quite literally opened my eyes to these paintings. I was also part of the "They're just squares, anyone can do that." But I never knew there was so much behind the canvas. Which honestly, as an artist myself I'm ashamed to say. Thank you for sharing this with us
The respect brit has for the artists she speaks about is so beautiful
We may not be expecting these but we love an intellectual and funny girlie posting a video about history 😊🤭✨🌟💫🌠🌌💖
Why did the part about people constantly looking for purpose almost make me sob. She always speaks so elegantly and I think it’s so amazing to watch people look so passionately
EATING TODAYYY
You should probably eat multiple meals a day, bestie ❤
This is definitely the message I needed to hear today. "It's beautifully tragic to be alive."
I just got accepted for the Fine arts program and I hope to have teachers who explain criteria like this. I can really hear the passion in your voice and it is inspiring. Wishing you well and success ❤🍄
This is in my opinion your best art history video so far. They keep getting better and better and I hope you never stop this series
As an art history girlie I love that you do these videos. Yay to making art accessible!
She's the only person who can make me listen to art history. It's mesmerizing to watch her talk about the things she loves
As someone who's in art school struggling to connect to the "fine arts" and "abstract/modern" art, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for leading me to this. My teachers have told me of this artist, but it never clicked. I listened to the videos you put in the description, and I think my heart moved. I actually did cry a bit.
Girl transitions so smoothly from going feral for Sam Hartman to being the history expert we all needed
"We can either alienate each other and spread vitriol and hatred, or we can love each other and be interconnected as a human race."
I love how you phrased this, it keeps repeating in my mind. I personally never found the desire to independently study art history, but I always love when you make these videos and I appreciate them so much. ♡
your commentary on his works reminds me of the new animated show "carol & the end of the world" with the discussions on existentialism and humanity, really what it means to be human
as an artist and someone fascinated by art history, i really appreciate you making this video! so many people tend to completely disregard/dismiss abstract art. i understand if its not their style, i mean it's hardly mine, but i still find myself having a deep respect for it. so thanks for making this video and shedding some light on mark rothko and his work!
One thing I love so much about Brittany's Fart History vids is Stanley's editing. It's cool to see his different ways of approaching media.
It's a little bit healing for me to listen to one of my favorite creators speak so passionately about art and taking the time to look into the history and the meanings behind pieces and artists. I love this series so much. With a world of people who just look past art it feels so hard for me to see a future for myself where my art matters. Everything is about money, likes, and competition, and it sucks that an expression of my emotions and pieces of myself are reduced to 25 likes. Anyways, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us in all your content. Much love :)
I love listening to how you explain art history, I can remember and retain it better than if a real teacher is teaching?? You have talent for teaching (amongst many other things) and I can’t wait for the next art history class you hold 😊😂
This is an open letter to the following tribes:
Art history nerds (not derogatory)
UA-cam junkies (I go all the way back to Fala Sonya)
Broski Nation (again, since the beginning)
Content creators, both new and old school.
This video clearly demonstrates why this platform exists. Brittany is the content creator we didn't know we needed. With every video, on every channel (well done, btw), this goddess among humans brings something to the table which needs to be discussed.
(F)art history, movies, DRAG, and everything in between.
Brittany, I bow to you. Your content, on every single level, makes life worth streaming. Keep up the good work (come to Milwaukee, please 🥰?).
i really love the way you talk to the viewer with this non-condescending way of making sure we understand what you’re talking about and making the topic accessible
oh how i've been craving to be lectured by Brittany.
This was so beautiful Brittany, your words about the human condition and absurdism really stuck with me!! I cried like a lil baby!!!
This video had me skirting the edge of an existential crisis, but I’m very glad I watched the whole thing. Your passion is infectious, Brittany. This series makes me want to go to an art museum without my (insecure artist) ego, and just spend time feeling. Thank you. ❤
Our Dear Leader does it again! So eloquent & enlightening. You're a joy to listen to & learn from. I love these videos, please never stop sharing your big, beautiful Broski brain.
I LOVE this series so much
I’m not sure if I’ve heard of or seen any of Mark Rothko’s work, but I’m not a huge fan of abstract or abstract expressionism, BUT even though I’m not, these videos always give me a new perception and appreciation for art and artists I previously viewed as “meh” (like Andy Warhol)
i love rothko!! he was like my introduction to understanding modern/abstract art. thank u for being the one (1) comment about him. he means a lot to me
All of Brittanys content makes my day but the (F)art history videos are truly otherworldly. They’re so so so special, i just love them
Criminally underrated series I love this it’s so good. Extremely profound and visceral, brought me to tears.
Not even ten minutes in yet, but while I was vaguely aware of his work, I hadn't really _seen_ any of them. That one that looks like a red door with a window in it - I am struggling with oncoming agoraphobia, and this was like a punch in the gut. That's how it feels. What he did with paint is what I try to do with writing and poetry: stripping away the excess to show that core shining note of Something. 100% learning more about this dude now. _Thank you_ for this series.
Edit:: finished the video, ordered a book about him, and now can't stop thinking about his art. I was diagnosed with depression over 20 years ago and it's only gotten more severe over time. As you showed his paintings getting darker as he got older, I was constantly Leo diCaprio pointing-at-screen meme and internally screaming that 'he _GETS_ it'. I never would've thought I could react so strongly to art! But I _get_ it! I feel the same thing he put into those paintings! If I ever get the chance to see any of his work in person, I'm taking it, agoraphobia or no. I _get_ it. Holy shit.
The fact that you just got my broken brain to pay attention for 30 minutes is testament to how much of an engaging speaker you are. This was such an interesting video!
i am absolutely in love with her beautiful articulation and intellectual way of speaking. she deserves the spotlight her content is SO good for so many reasons.
Literally this is my first semester taking an Art History course- Modern Art specifically and its truly been fascinating seeing the meaning behind it all.
I used to be a psych major because I was always so interested in the complexity of people's brains and personalities. I think that's exactly what Art History does-- breaks down the personality of every piece.
My favorite class was an art history class, and my teacher used his physical slides rather than a digital slideshow as often as he could. Hearing the click as each image switches and listening to Brittany talk about art history is so comforting and making me sooooo nostalgic
i don’t give a single flying fuck about visual art and yet i still sit here and watch our gorgeous and talented leader lecture us on it and make it interesting. thank you queen ps your hair looks great and you are stunning xoxo
“We favor the simple expression of the complex thought.” Wow. That’s gonna stick with me.
I LOVE your art history videos. Please more in 2024!! Gotta go rewatch the other ones now!!
can't believe i just started crying somewhere in the middle of the video i literally had to stop it and take a moment, i just love the passion in your voice and in your eyes and in the way you explain the things you love, it gets me thinking and it gets me emotional at the same time, man this video was a RIDE, love you brittany
She is so articulate and his this ability to deliver such massive concepts in such simple terms. I have very little interest in art theory but this video made me so curious. Thank you Brittany
This moved me in a way that will stay with me for a while, I will definitely see a Rothko irl as soon as i can!
Thank you so much for this video, Brittany! Something about the way you appreciate and admire art and put it into words is always so inspiring and helps me become enthusiastic about learning and just living tbh.
(There is one small little thing i can't help but point out as I am a student at a Max-Weber Institute and therefore have this exact picture of Weber haunt me in my dreams. The picture you showed was of the sociologist and not the cubist Artist Max Weber, Rothko used to study under in NYC. At first, I thought Rothko might as well have been a student of sociologist Weber, but by the time he went to university, Weber had already been dead for a few years.)
Thank you for commenting on this, I was so confused to see Weber the sociologist pop up on screen. This makes more sense!
you're such an inspiration brittany! love these videos of yours
The editing. The music. Brittany’s knowledge and power to transmit it. Almost brought me to tears
as an art history student i LOVE these videos. im so happy that youre exposing more people to these artists AHHHH i love you
ps. read Sarah Rich's essays on Rothko and Newman - she is an amazing professor
I love that you are so willing to learn and teach other people of this beautiful knowledge you are so passionate about, I didn’t know this artist but damn am I happy I do now. There’s a building called 100 Kellogg Lane near me, I’m in London, Ontario, and it did this thing with art from Van Gogh where it made his art all consuming and projected it in slides in a dark room with ambient music playing in the background. They also gave some backstory for the artist. Everyone was silent, sitting on benches, on the floor, all drenched in the colours of light shining from these projectors, it was amazing. I hope they do this with Rothko one day❤❤
brittany i love your art history videos so much. you make me what to study art history as a profession. please never stop you have such a great way of explanation and you’re so talented
Was brought to both happy and sad tears while watching this. You’re such a talented creator. Thank you for making art history more than palatable as it’s quite inspiring.
brittany never stop making videos like this. I genuinely loved every single minute of this video
these are by far my favorite videos of you! Pleeeease please do more!!❤
When I saw the first images of a black hole, Rothko's paintings came to my mind immediately. That's why what you've said about pure art makes so much sense. I feel like Rothko painted for the sake of people, not the sake of art. It's like he is showcasing his understanding of the human condition instead of showcasing his talent of painting. Great content as always
I am about to go to school for Art History and lemme tell you Britney... you literally have gotten me to love art history more and more with these videos. GIRL PLEASE make more of these!! Love ya
it never fails to amaze me how versatile brittany is!! she really embodies the human experience of appreciating life and showing her interests, whilst being the funniest and intelligent person ever!! Brittany, i LOVE your brain. The way you analyse and interpret art is astonishing, AND inspiring 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
and the the way stanley edits this video, makes the viewing experience so much more immersive!!!
need another one of these asap. love these brittany!!
This is my favorite series on UA-cam. Seriously, amazing. You are clearly passionate about what you are talking about, and it shows in the way you speak. It makes me want to learn more.
You inspired me to take an additional art history and criticism course at school. Thank you for making me interested in the history of art!
Not only is the content on this so so good but the editing truly ties it together! Slay Brittany and Stanley
these are genuinely some of my favorite videos of yours!!!
I went to his exhibition in paris with my class and it honestly didnt speak to me at all (even though i study art and love art history) but after this video i feel like i understand more and can find beauty in rothko, thank you!
I am a teacher in France, and by chance I talked about Rothko today with my students. You are one of my favorite youtubers and the fact that you so articulately yet so simply walked your audience through one of the most brilliant painters is so admirable. These type of videos are fabulous, keep it up!
This video is so great. I love that your channel is not just one thing and reflects who you are as a person. Also, the editing is always great, but you outdid yourself, Stanley.
Thank you SO much for making these videos I absolutely adore listening to them every time aH ❤❤
Thank you for this video!🥹 I felt so much. You’re passion for his art touched my heart🙏🏼
these always make me tear up at one point or another. she is so so good at breaking art history down i cant wait for more
As someone with an art history minor, I think your art history videos are actually super well informed 🙋♀️
I love you and this series so much
Pls continue this series it’s so fascinating and I love the way you explain everything
it’s so beautiful to see someone have such an interest in something to teach it just because they love it .. I would do anything to be her friend shes so pure
The type of content you give us is incredible. We laugh, we cry, we learn, and more. Thank you for all your content!!! It's so refreshing!
I just love hearing your perspective on art...music too. I hope you do more videos like this.
im obsessed with these videos. ive never cared about art before but you really make me /get/ it.
