It's amazing!! And very insightful as well...It's just like discovering your own senses for the first time
How beautifully put, Anuran - Thank you
i agree you are smart
Thank you : )
@@sylasgavin6243 @Gary Bodhi Can you please delete your crap comments from my thread?
Photorealism requires great great discipline, and patience, but i think it's more like an excercise for the maker than an experience to the viewer.
That's a very interesting comment. I never thought of that - perhaps there's some truth there? Except that we as viewers are taken into that "moment" which can be an experience in a way. Thought provoking.
Photorealism takes a very high degree of technical skill, but what's missing from it, I think, is important: creativity!
Im not a fan pf photo realism. There are a lot of wonderful examples posted online, but to me they are done by people who dont seem to work and have a lot of times on their hands to spend as long as they want adding details. I dont class that as art in a creative sense.
Ernie Flannel uhmmm....so making art isn’t work?
What would one do without the photos to duplicate?
This explains art in 8 minutes, I love it! As a young artist/animator myself, this helps a lot! And the fact that you are hearting all comments still after 7 years mean you care much of your audience. Thank you!
It's so nice to hear that my video has helped you, Kam! It's rewarding as a creator. And, yes, I actually read every single post and respond when I can. I truly do care....thanks for noticing.
These art appreciation tutorials are superb. Thank you for providing them and for presenting them in such a calm, intelligent manner that is highly listenable.
Thank you so much, Terry
Thank you for speaking slowly and clearly. I'm showing this video in a class for English learners.
You're very welcome. I'm glad it's understandable for new English speakers.
I am an artist practicing hyper realism..but to see and learn about all these other genres and styles feels like getting to know a whole new world and your video has enabled me to appreciate all other forms by knowing what I am looking at when I see an art piece. Thanks
I'm so glad to know how it has helped you, Art for the soul.
I'd love to see your work
The best video that breaks down the different styles of art ! Thanks 🙏🏾 you!
I struggle with my artstyle trying different mediums and i finally choose Digital painting my go to style 😊
I really love what you did here! Educating your future purveyor by connecting the patina of each style and their contemporary exemplores
A really informative video and also really relaxing with Jill's voice and the calm music. Thank you very much :)
Jill, It is always a great pleasure to view your videos. It does not matter how many times I view this, it is so strong hand has so much information. Again, thanks. I am enjoying viewing your work again. (and again)
Wonderful! It's always nice to hear that, Michael.
Helps a lot in understanding styles and where one can begin their own style. Thank you.
You're very welcome, Joseph. I'm so glad it was helpful.
This was a great explanation of Art Styles Jill...
It is important to have an idea of what we have in front of us when we see a Painting to enjoy it even more.
I'd like to add too, as a "parenthesis", that I loved the fact that you presented a Roberto Matta to show what Surrealism was and still is. His work was far less flamboyant than others, but more profound... at least for me.
Thanks for your invaluable contribution on the appreciation and understanding of Art.
Thank you, Luis. Matta had such an amazingly creative mind. Glad you appreciated his inclusion and the video on a whole.
Nurishment for the senses, an incredibly soothing presentation with the end result a state of inspiration. Bravo Mrs. Poyerd Bravo.
Thank you, Mark. Glad you enjoyed it!
I discovered your videos yesterday, Jill, and I am thrilled to have access to them. So interesting and enjoyable! Thanks!!
I'm so glad you've been enjoying them. And welcome to my channel!
Thanks! I liked this video a lot. Light, yet insightful. Good oration as well
Thank you.... i appreciate demystifying art as easily discussed by you.
Very concise presentation! Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us.
Thank you! Great for young students as well as adults! I'd love to see you make more easy-to-understand videos such as this for beginners.
You're very welcome, Delphine. I do hope to make many more. Just wish there were more hours in the day.
thank you I am going to show this to my adolescent students.
Oh how nice! I love to know my work can reach young people in that way. I would love to help the next generation better understand and appreciate fine art from throughout history. There's so much enjoyment from it.
More than perfect explanation and examples of genres! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it, Bobby
Thank youuu! I love your channel
Jill, you have done an amazing educational tool for aspiring artists! Very well detailed information and demos. I’m a self-taught oil painting artist and I have subscribed to your channel a while ago. I was redirected to you by Dianne Mize while she has surgery. What a great choice Dianne made! Back to your video, I am grateful for a thoughtful and wise selection of artist for each art style. Thanks so much and I’m looking forward to see more of your videos. Congratulations and best wishes!
Thank you so much, Crisalida. I'm very glad you've been enjoying them! And how nice of Dianne to refer you to me. She's a talented lady.
Wonderful videos on UA-cam and Great courses on UDEMY ! So happy to have discovered you! Thank you from Jeanne
Very happy to have you as a student, Jeanne!
Loved this well produced video. I watched because I'm painting and wondered what my 'style' may be considered. This answered my questions. Thank you.
I'm so glad, Susie. I did feel it was important to help clarify stylistic boundaries as it can get very confusing sometimes.
Susie Caron what do you now consider your style as?
Thank you ma'am for this wonderful video ☺️
Understandable , such as good sampling. Pure knowledge>
Very useful. Thanks a lot for producing this video.
You're welcome, Reza
Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for.
Great! Glad it was helpful
I love the way you explain thing! you are the best!
Thank you, Cesar....That's so kind
Excellent. Well explained, well done.
Thank you for making this video, made my day!!!!!
Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it...
Once again very interesting and informative 🎨👌
Jill, Fantastic !! Where were you when I was studying art history. Well, that's not fare, you were not even a thought in your mom's mind. This is so well done. Your videos are so powerful in a very calming presentation.
Thank you so much, Michael.
I thank you for putting all this information into these videos.
thank you Jill
Thank you. I didn't quite know where to start in exposing my son to art styles. He was asked to find his favourite art style and write why he likes it for his grade 7 art class. It's not like I can go into the city and take him to a museum during this pandemic!
You're very welcome, Marie. I'm so glad it was helpful to you. Hopefully, someday soon things will open up to us all again...
Thank you, Jill! Completely, Wonderful Presentation, as always!
You're very welcome. I truly enjoy making them
Thanking you for the information cheers Kev!
+Kevin *Artist* Powell So glad you enjoyed it, Kev - Thanks!
Really cool video! thanks
Hello Ms./Mrs. Jill... I have miss commenting on you lectures, etc. had trouble signing into the youtube/google technical stuff; awful! You are so professional and talented at what you do. I have perhaps said similar before when I first saw you, and now, you actually have become my favorite when I want factual content on art education. You are greatly appreciated and I personally thank you for such wonderful information! Will stay tuned. Do you every do tutorials on classical painting techniques, Charles Bargue drawings,etc.? Would certainly be nice...!!! Thanks again!
Informative video thank you
I love your videos!
Amazing video, thanks a lot for making it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ali
Hey Jill, I ama fan! Took one of your watercolor classes in Udemy. Awesome!
Oh, wonderful! Nice to have you as a student as well, Josephine.
That was very well explained, Ty! I feel like I finally have a more clear understanding of Expressionism now. I suspect my emerging landscape style is more of a Tonal Expressionist style.
Nice! It's great to know how my videos help people.
Thank you.
Awesome video for those new to art, as an overview. I still can't stand the idea of impressionism as a style. The only thing that separates rembrandt from the impressionists is color, but brush strokes and layout , it's all there. The so-called impressionism is more of a sincere fundamental skill of painting down to the core. It should not be though as a style but as a principle of painting. Hopefully, someone's curiosity awakens with this insight.
Ernest, have you seen my series on Brushstrokes? You'd probably enjoy it. Here's a link to Part One, if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/ipf3_sXts_o/v-deo.html
Thanks for showing lots of women artists.
You're very welcome. One day I hope to make a video specifically about female painters...

Thank you connard
Thanks. A good video.
amazing!
Thanks!
i watched this video at co op (a group of homeschoolers) art class 👍👍👍👍
Oh, that's really awesome - How nice to know!
Brilliant, well thought out and very well presented piece. Was wondering what would be anyone's take on Digital Art (more precisely, Digital Painting and Illustration) as a style (although I know it can be considered more of a method, rather than a style, I think it has evolved beyond that). With the modern day prevalence of Digital Media and the distinct role it plays in influencing our society (much like the artwork of the past, influencing and depicting their times) can it too not be considered a style? Or perhaps like any other tool, it can be used to create the art we wish to see, in the style in which we prefer...
That is a tough topic. I personally think it leans towards your comment "like any other tool, it can be used to create the art we wish to see, in the style in which we prefer". Very well put, BTW. Perhaps someone else will offer additional thoughts.
the explanation made me call you MASTER :)
Thank you so much - I'm honored!
Jill, I just discovered you online...!!WOW!!.your art videos are superb! so very professional...top 7 art styles but you forgot one!!...CONCEPTUAL ART....any comments about that??
My apologies, plein aire, I just saw this comment. For some reason I was never notified. You are correct that it is a style of art - for sure. I was really gearing this video more towards paintings. Not that a painting can't be conceptual, but it so often reaches way beyond that form of art. Good catch, though. I'm so glad you enjoy the videos and I appreciate that input.
Jill Poyerd Fine Art ....conceptual art is a style of art but it is not generally grouped with the traditional visual arts.
thankz
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍
Great video thanks for doing this- is modern art a style ? And i see you listed the art at the end but is there any way if you would be willing to list the artists under category in the description?
I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would say that Modern Art isn't a style since technically it can encompass multiple styles. I believe it would be considered an art movement...Or could even be defined more broadly as an art age. Good question. Sometimes art definitions are tricky to define and can result in a number of opinions. As for listing the artists, I don't have time at the moment, but can put it on my future to-do list.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt i also like your voice and cadence in whoch you speak its very relaxing i wish i knew you personally lol
Hey Jill, I'd love to know where I can find a larger image of that Jonathan Linton painting of the dancers.
That's a beautiful piece, isn't it? The only thing I could recommend is to check his website and perhaps contact the artist. www.jonathanlinton.com
What about comics, anime or cartoons? Would you call them art too? These days Im really confused on where to take my art career one part of me loves watercolor and a more impressionistic style even expresionist, another part of me loves animations with a more cartoony-anime style. I don't know where to focus, I find myself jumping from one style to another. I don't know if thats something bad. I was thinking to pursue a carreer on art for entertainment like concept art for games or animations which is mostly digital while keeping a more artististic style in traditional media as a hobby selling my paintings. In really really confused if this is a good idea or if I would be able to handle both at the same time, any advice? Sometimes I feel like Im splitting myself in two different persons.
Good question...I tend to classify comics, anime, and cartoons (as well as a few other categories) under "art" as opposed to formal painting which I would place under "fine art", if you know what I mean. Both categories involve incredibly talented people, but there's kind of a line between them of some kind. I'm trying to come up with what that line is, but am drawing a blank right now. I truly don't think it's bad to jump between them as long as you feel you can grow and achieve in both. I picked up oil painting again (after having stopped using that medium for many, many years and only focusing on watercolor. I now switch back and forth depending on my mood and what I want to paint. I feel like it helps keep things interesting for me. If you want to take one to the next level, perhaps spend more time working on that one and save the other for artistic relief. Is that helpful?
Artistic relief...it sounds interesting, sometimes I just get bored on doing the same thing even I'm learning new stuff so I suppose it might be good, now I just need to choose which one is my priority. Art or fine art ...I also feel there is a line in between them, as for fine art I can say its much more valued by the people, whereas the other its more comercial and even its needs a lot of talent it tends to be undervalued which is very sad according to me. I find it easier to create very good fine art and people had purchased me some paintings, but when I do comics it feels like no one will value that even it took me the same effort and time.
I would like to explore the different styles more in depth...could anyone recommend a good book?
I'm afraid I don't have a book recommendation for you. Hopefully, someone else knows of a good source.
Thanks anyway. I enjoy your videos.
that's was great
you are the best
but what about precisionism movement
My apologies, Saeed. Somehow I was never notified of your comment! I'm very glad you enjoyed the video. I actually haven't heard of that movement, but will certainly look it up now. Thank you!
are you a working artist or teacher?wonderful videos and very helpful and accessible,thanks
Both, actually. Hard to squeeze in time to paint lately, but I do paint professionally as well (jillpoyerd.com). Glad you enjoy my channel!
What song is this?
The song is called "Traveler" by Lightning Traveler
So could you tell me what type of art style I convey? I think it's surrealism but I'm not exactly sure. Here's where you can view my gallery. deviantart.com/decaxavaded
That is a tough call, David. There is an element of surrealism in my opinion, as wel. But there's also an element of graphic design. Very interesting, complex work.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt Thank you and I appreciate you getting back to me.
You have Jacob van Ruisdael spelled Ruisael at 1:09 and Ruidael in the closing credits.
Akk....It's so hard to catch all typos. No matter how many times you check, there will always be some that slip through.

This 8:23 minutes are far better than the hours of full access, tons of pouds and and unbeareble comptemt of matthew collings. This is modern art!
The most intelligent and anti obscurantist description of artistic styles I've ever encountered. Most of the time when I watch people chattering on about a painting, I watch it with the sound off so I can appreciate the painting on its own terms. Not here.
Very appreciated, William. That means a lot.
I don't fully understand the difference between realism and photorealism. For example, I don't know why the painting at 4:54 is considered photorealism when it is not much different from the ones you classify as realism, such as the one at 1:43 . I guess that maybe there is a thin line in some cases, but I don't think that the painting I'm talking about is the best example of photorealism.
What style would you call Joseph Zbukvic or Alvero castagnet?
I love Zbukvic's work - what a talent! To me, Zbukvic is quite a realist, yet his work incorporates impressionism (softer colors and strong light) and even touches of attraction. Castagnet is very similar, but I think he tends more towards expressionism in his color selection - he doesn’t go quite as far into realism as Zbukvic in my opinion. Both are masters, for sure. Great question.
Jill Poyerd Fine Art This reply was so very good that you should expand it into a video. You can add other artist who are similar to these two. some of this group are good friends and that has a lot to do with their style I think.
Interesting...Combined with your other idea, it could be an evaluation of contemporary masters in relation to historic masters, as well as the influence the current artists have upon each other. It would be a tough one (video) to do, but could be very, very interesting. Great thinking, Joe. BTW - In my comment, I meant to say Zbukvic has touches of abstraction..not attraction - lol.
Well, ya know. For example, Zbukvic, Herman Pekal, Alvaro Castignet and other artists all hang out sometimes. Tim Wilmot has taken workshops with Zbukvic and talks about his experience on his web site. You can see the very similar styles and Wilmot gives very well explained detailed painting demos. There is a lot too this watercolor web.
True. Yes, I've seen artists take on the look of those they learn from, although it's refreshing when the artist maintains an individual flair.
no se ingles
I want to see your landscapes.....
Thank you The Church Painter. If you mean my particular artwork, you can certainly visit my website at www.jillpoyerd.com
You misspelled the name Van Ruysdael wrong. What passes for expressionism is tachism.
I would think four more unique styles are yet to be unveiled. Four more distinct categories. "Scribbleism" where the person keeps making lines on a medium to convey brainwave dysfunction. "Refrigeratorism" if not having a magnet and a child involved who is no more than six you are bopped out of the categorie. Someone will corner the child art market, its only a matter of time."Prisonism" incarceration indused wonders to include tattooed skin. "Alienism" what wonders await the time traveler and the ten other different dimensions not to include your own. To include Antartica and any outerspace related visions. I might be joking of course; who is to say? For what is art; without imagination. The market is in a stagnation faze not knowing how to revive itself. Keep up the good work; i learn a lot from your teachings.
A criticism I hear of photorealistic painting is 'why endeavour to paint something that doesn't convey anything that a photograph doesn't convey?'. It's a fair argument and not easy to explain. I've never achieved photorealism myself but I can't say I haven't tried. The challenge is one reason but I find that I prefer to look at a perfect photorealistic painting than a photograph. Although it's sometimes almost impossible to tell the difference, I do get something from looking at photorealistic paintings.
A painting can make us see and appreciate things we take for granted when looking at the scene in real life (or, indeed, at a photograph). Things we see every day and only notice when somebody paints them. Superficially, it's wonder at the artist's skill. But, the more realistic, the harder we have to look for clues that it was painted by hand... and the harder we look, the more we see. That is the viewer's reward: to see.
A camera records whatever it's pointed at and even the photographer may not have noticed every detail that the camera has recorded. Not so with the painter. Everything the viewer sees has been observed, analysed and painstakingly reproduced by the artist. The joy of producing a realistic painting is the joy of seeing... and that joy is passed on to the viewer. It makes the mundane become magic.
That's my take on it anyway.
This is so well put, Ron. I completely agree with your perspective on the subject. I always feel that even when a painting is photo-real, the artist still seems to enhance some aspect of it without it being very obvious. But your points are spot-on.
well said
First, there is photo realism or hyper realism. This is where the artist paints from a photo with such exactitude, that it is difficult to say which is the photo and which is the painting. Personally, I do not see the art in this style. It can be technically brilliant but it is in no way expressive.Paintings by Steve Mills, Robin Eley.
Everything that isn't photo realism is, in some way, "abstract' in that it doesn't mirror the real image.
Think of the verb To Abstract.
It is a concept, a notion, an interpretation.
A room by Andrew Wyeth is clearly recognizable as a room.
But no room you have ever walked into looked quite like it.
It is a recognizable scene that has been abstracted somewhat from what we see with our eyes.
Not as exact as photo realism but you can plainly see what is being depicted.
Vermeer, Wyeth,Ingres, Rembrandt, Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer.Cezanne.van Gogh.Mary Cassatt are in this category .
Each of these artists has a personal style,an individual way of depicting reality. But it is still an abstract of 'reality'.
Then you have people like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Hans Hoffman, Helen Frankenthaler.
We think of these people's work as being Abstract.
But their style is more exactly described as non-representational art.
Now, you might look at such a painting and think you 'see' a recognizable object in there somewhere but that wasn't the intention of the artist.
So, all painting that isn't photo realism is, to some degree, abstract.
Some of that 'abstracted' painting is realistic or representational and some is non-representational.
I just wish there was no music playing
СТАЛ КУЛЬТУРНЕЕ НА УРОКЕ АНГЛИЙСКОГО
realism is a movement in art history rather than a style , naturalistic is what people refer to realism.
Actually, realism is both a movement and a style.
Realism was indeed an art movement that began in the 1850s, but it is also considered “an approach to art in which subjects are depicted in as straightforward a manner as possible…” (Artcylopedia.com)
This is what I was referring to when I said that artists have been striving for realism since the beginning of time. Before cameras, art was the only visual method for recording life. Today, many artists refer to themselves as contemporary realists - relating to a style rather than the movement. Many movements develop into styles as future generations incorporate aspects of that movement into their art.
Another example: Impressionism was initially a movement in the late 1800s, but artists today who paint using short expressive brush strokes and a focus on light would likely refer to themselves as painting in an impressionistic style.
Naturalism was also a movement in the late 19th- early 20th-century, and is also considered a style of art or literature that shows people and things as they actually are. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
So, the two terms are very closely related. The Realist movement advocated naturalism, and both realism and naturalism were responses to romanticism.
To be precise, the style of van Gogh and Gauguin should be post-impressionism, not expressionism.
True - if I were to break down the styles more in this video, that would have been where I would place them. In this case, I was simplifying. Because of their use of color, I placed them in the expressionist category.
The Mona Lisa is realism, no?
Yes - You're correct, Tim.
But where is Salvador Dali in surrealism
What about the "primitive"?
Jus sayin 🙃🙄
True! Yes, I didn't cover that one. I was really aiming for the most common styles in this video,
I'm not an atrist, but I feel like abstract art is largely far too simply and easy to produce. To the point where I feel I could make a boatload of cool stuff after watching a 5 min video on you tube, or even without any instruction at all
I hear what you're saying. The interesting thing is that there seems to be abstract art that has a lot of thought behind it and then there's abstract art that...well...doesn't. It's all over the map. It reality, abstract by its definition means to take from something - so, to me, some of the best abstracts are thoughtful plays off of reality. Just my thoughts.
Am I the only one seeing Impressionism put under the Realism name?
I'm not really happy with this breakdown. For some of the styles it refers to methods of applying the pain, while others are defined by their subject. This seems rather inconsistent for me, since i'm really trying hard to differentiate between the styles based on a common variable.
I'm sorry it was confusing for you. My goal was to simplify the styles for best understanding, but my methodology may not work for everyone.
Van Gogh and Gauguin are post-impressionists, not expressionists.
Why is it that most of the modern artists work shown in this video are women?
Peter Salmon That’s a valid observation, Peter. It’s because I wanted to feature members of a specific art group and most of them happen to be women at the time. I thought it would be interesting to use one group and divide them by style.
I like this series, but found this breakdown arbitrary. Examples were often not of the category being discussed, IMHO. But the borders are subjective, as is Art. Hurray Art!
Sorry but Ganguin and Gogh are post-impressionists not expressionists...
So technically, Gauguin was a pioneer in the Symbolist movement, a form of post-impressionism, which according to the Met museum set the stage for the expressionist movement. I was stretching it a bit in order to simplify matters for the viewer.
www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/gaug/hd_gaug.htm
Regarding Van Gogh, it’s the same idea. I was trying to simplify concepts in this video as art styles and movements can get very, very confusing and even overlap. To me…to my eye, their work falls loosely into Expressionism.
www.guggenheim.org/publication/van-gogh-and-expressionism
“Working in Arles, Van Gogh completed a series of paintings that exemplify the artistic independence and proto-Expressionist technique that he developed by the late 1880s, which would later strongly influence Henri Matisse (1869-1954) and his circle of Fauvist painters, as well as the German Expressionists.”
www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/poim/hd_poim.htm
I don’t care what anyone says...abstract art is dumb as fuck.
Thanks for the video hope you read the bible and understand Gods wisdom
the end times are near,make a change, turn your life to ChrIst if you don't want to go to hell Matthew 16:24, John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Oh, I do. Without God we wouldn't have ANY of this....
@@JillPoyerdFineArt Your so right continue seeking him. God bless you
thank you for remonding me
You say that artist’s paint in a photorealistic way because they find it rewarding to meet the challenge of it.
Fine.
But there is no art to it.
It’s a form of showing off technical skills.
“See what I can do!?”
When a painter produces a photo realistic piece, only the challenge of making the painting look exactly like the photo is met.
There’s no interpretation of reality. There is only reproduction of reality.
It takes a technician to do that, not an artist.
If I make an exact copy of a Cézanne still life, who is the artist me or Cézanne?
My copy shows skill but not creativity. And if there is no creativity, there is no real art.
Photography is a poor substitute for the human eye. It distorts perspective, bleeds out highlights & darkens subtle dark values. A hyper realist paints what the human eye can see; finding beauty in mundane everyday items. Inviting us to look closer.
Photorealistic is a clumsy term
My understanding of the genre comes both from personal observation and this quotation from Wikipedia,
"Photorealism is a genre of art that encompasses painting, drawing and other graphic media, in which an artist studies a photograph and then attempts to reproduce the image as realistically as possible in another medium."
Ascribing merit to a photorealistic painting because it invites us to look closer can as easily be applied to the original photo reference on which the painting was based or a blow-up of a detail of the photo.
The concept of finding beauty or significance or appreciation of form etc. in ordinary objects harkens back to the exhibition of Duchamp's "readymades". Urinal, bicycle wheel on a pedestal, common snow shovel etc.
Duchamp argued, “An ordinary object [could be] elevated to the dignity of a work of art by the mere choice of an artist.”
I reject that notion.
Try it yourself then. Sounds like your just bitter because other artists show off skills you don't have.
rey bladen ...really?
It sounds like I am bitter because I can’t exactly reproduce a photograph in paint?
You think that I am critical because I can’t do what a photorealist painter does ?
If an artist like Cézanne has skills that I don’t have, then, by your logic, I should be bitter about that and be critical of his work.
My comments about the artistic merits of photorealism stand on their own as valid regardless of what I, personally, can or cannot do!
Too many women of modern example vs. men of classic examples - All "Men's club" history and "Girl's club" contemporary-
Photorealism is for the artist an intense challenge because it involves all his technical know-how and then in my opinion whoever can do photorealism can do everything afterwards in the style he wants because he has all the ability but not vice versa.
Lots of people are going towards the abstract these days, especially fake artists because they are freed from knowing how to draw and logically anyone who does not even know how to represent in drawing what he sees how would he be able to represent an emotion or what not seen? that's my big question. The abstract tends to escape all criticism provided that the artist can defend himself using artistic jargon such as gestures, emotion, spontaneity, touch, material, ... etc. In abstract Art is more in the mouth that interprets than on the painting itself.
That's only my opinion.
Thx for your beautiful and very instructif videos !!!!!! I discovered your channel today.
Interesting input. I always welcome people's thoughts as long as they're polite (which you are...). Welcome to my channel! I'm glad you're enjoying it.
@@JillPoyerdFineArt thank you for your compliment, it's true that politeness is rare these days, especially behind the screens...
