Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In the second of a new series, James Payne and Joanne Shurvell combine their love of Art and Travel, as they look at less well known museums in cities around the world. In "Great Art Cities Explained: Paris", we look at three small museums which were originally artist's ateliers, or studios: Eugène Delacroix, Suzanne Valadon and Constantin Brancusi. We discuss works by Delacroix, Cezanne, van Gogh, Suzanne Valadon and Constantin Brancusi, and how those artist's works connect.

Great Art Cities Explained: Paris 17.1.22 1229pm and the amazing and/or horrendous alfred jarry.... flaneurs.. paraphysics... absurdity. i mean, i could go on.... and someone like yourself could present a dent talk on jarry as you have the voice.
You guys are gems
Thank you for the info
Thanks for the new video on my BIRTHDAY!!
Excellent and enjoyable material
I don’t know if the creator of this channel knows how much these essays inspire. I have picked up the piano and painting because of him and it has made my life so much more meaningful! So grateful that despite all the friction the internet could foster, there are too these individuals and communities that open the door to provide access to the most beautiful rooms of human existence. Thank you, Mr Payne!
Valadon is such an underrated artist. Thank you for shining the light on her.
thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. It's channels like this one that keep UA-cam alive
Love your videos! Always excited to see when you post new stuff. Thank you for making these, as always, your passion shines through :)
Sussane Valadon es toda una sorpresa , no la conocía, gracias
i love your channel and the work you do , you are a real inspiration.
Thanks 🙏
Blown away by this, great job James!
Thank you Mister Payne, truly wonderful work!
Lost Generation artists and writers who were too broke or poor to stay in Paris, often ended up in Tangiers (Morocco) or Istanbul (Turkey). I would like a similar case study on these cities, please.
Tangiers is a great suggestion - I once stayed in the hotel where Matisse painted. Thanks 🙏
@@GreatArtExplained As a Peace Corps Volunteer (Morocco) in the late 1990s, I became obsessed with the legacy of American/European expatriate artists & writers who ended up in North Africa/Middle East. You channel is JOY. Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yes that period in Tangiers was so interesting for me too - from Barbara Hutton to Joe Orton via Ginsberg, Burroughs (on the run) and Vidal being snotty, culminating in Liz Taylor’s crazy extravagant birthday party!
James Payne: the Brancusi of UA-cam art documentaries.
When the time machine is finally built, I’m booking a ticket for 17-19th century France
Brilliant
Love it
Hi, could I request a paleolithic art vídeo?
This Channel has some of the best art documentaries I have ever seen.
Thanks 🙏
they're amazing digests: not too long and not too difficult, so casual curious viewers could get educated without feeling snubbed.
I had never heard of Suzanne Valedon, thank you for talking about her. Great video as usual.
She is so underrated - thanks for commenting 🙏
she sounds amazing enough to get her own video! please do her more justice :D
Is there a biography of this woman? I’d read it.
I took a 19th century French art course in uni and I don't remember the prof mentioning her!
Thank you for mentioning her. Your videos are great!
If there was a love button I would use it for this video. It’s so in sync. Your voiceover that starts after the first melody of Debussy’s impressionist first Arabesque is introduced. Great depth and reflection. Please keep up your amazing work.
Thank you 🙏
I agree - wonderful! (By the way, if you’re interested in further pursuing the beautiful Debussy piano piece playing in the background, it’s his Arabesque No. 1.) Blessings!
@@TheRickuren thank you! I was wondering what it was. I just knew it's wasn't Claire de lune
🇫🇷
@@TheRickuren only just saw your comment, thank you for rectifying that! I edited my comment. :)
I'm art historian, and yet find so much new information. Thank you for so laborous work. I know how long it takes to gather all m right data. Appreciate it. Keep spreading your love of art.
Never get enough of your videos! I’m an aerospace engineer. I like logic, numbers, and fact. But i really enjoy watching your videos and getting to see the art through your lens and in the context of the times and artists’ lives. To me, your explanation sounds like poetry and for a few minutes, I’m a full blown artist with no regard for the black and white thinking science has engrained in me. I get to see the art through the many shades of grey they truly contain
Thanks for the comment 🙏
I really like the narrative contextualization of "Great Art Cities", it gives reason to highlight several different artists in an economical amount of time! For someone who doesn't always know which artist I would like to look into, videos like these really make for great springboards. They always leave me with a few new names to Google, and a few new stories to read - Thanks a ton!
I’d love a whole video on Valadon! I want to go back to Paris so badly, thank you for this video James, as always I can’t wait for the next one
Thanks for watching 🙏
I love this channel! I only discovered it last week but wow such high quality content ... Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks 🙏
Another great content! Can we take for a moment to appreciate James’ pronunciation of the names? It is excellent! My favourite was Van Gogh! 👏❤️👍🏻
I watch very few channels but this one is always fantastic
Would love to learn more about African art and its influences.
Wonderful, James! Where on earth did you get the footage of Delacroix's funeral? He's one of my favorite artists. I hope you'll do more on his works.
Yes I will be doing a full film on him at some stage - thanks 🙏
James finds footage no one else can!
That was striking to me as well. Have never read or seen anything else from Delacroix's funeral.
He was the cameraman. Cursed with everlasting life, James wanders the earth making UA-cam videos about the only thing that provides him with some semblance of emotion and his last remaining connection to humanity...art
I was never much into art, I preferred literature. I always used to think there was so little to interact with in art, but your series has opened the door to me for what's become a new passion, everyone of these videos only inspires me to read and see more. To quote Hamlet, I feel 'as if increased appetite had grown by what it fed on'. Many thanks again James and Joanne.
We're so pleased to hear that, Tom! Our aim is to profile lesser-known art galleries and museums in each city. New York is next.
The story of Liberty Leading the People being hidden due to it encouraging revolutionary sentiment is funnier when one considers the details.
The painting depicts the July Revolution of 1830, which specifically topped Charles X in favor of his cousin, Louis Philippe. But, while the revolution had started over Charles X's entrenched ultra-royalism, it wasn't *for* the Louis Philippe, even if he was ostensibly more "liberal". Instead, as the "Three Glorious Days" resulted in the crowds of Paris chasing Charles out, liberals in the government attempted to redirect the energy away from the cries for a republic by instead raising up Louis Philippe, who famously was crowned with the 'republican kiss' of the former Marquis de LaFayette.
Turns out, while Louis Philippe was *more* liberal, that didn't mean he was, y'know, liberal, and certainly not a republican (even if he went "ah shucks, republics are great but I don't think France is ready for one y'know???"). Hence, when the June Rebellion happened and was violently repressed two years later (y'know, the one from the book and musical), *that* was the point where Louis Philippe's government found itself kind of embarrassed about having Liberty Leading the People hanging around the palace. Not the least of which because the people ostensibly depicted on it hadn't been for his rule in the first place.
what a promising series, can't wait for the next one!
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for your craft! We love these kinds of videos. And you have a bona fide “radio voice” ❣️✨
Thanks!
Amazing. Parisian born and raised, I've never heard of Suzanne Valadon before. Her paintings feel so modern! Thanks for the discovery, James & Joanne!
Thanks for watching! We also learned a lot about Valadon while researching her. Agreed that her work does feel very modern; she was a big influence on women artists who followed, including Alice Neel and Jenny Saville.
Constantin Brancusi's 18-month walk to Paris makes him even more bad-ass than I already thought him to be. Now THAT'S dedication.
I never comment on UA-cam, but these videos are so good! Thank you for making art so accessible and thank you for introducing me to Suzanne Valadon ❤
Thanks 🙏
Agreed!
This is a great way to put the artists works in to perspective. I am a docent at our University museum. I love to introduce people to connections that artists have with each other and also with music, literature, even sports. Connecting them to great cities seems unique to me. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
As someone with a passing interest in art over my life, you have not just educated, but made me fall in love with these timeless stories. Compulsory viewing.
Thanks 🙏
@@GreatArtExplained No Sir, thank you. My father's life was as a commercial artist (you know back in the ancient times when it was by hand, not computer) but he never just painted for pleasure. I painted still life in school and was laughed at by my peers, so avoided trying further ridicule, and never again pick up a paintbrush. My father, took some of my work and framed a picture of my watercolour flowers. It still niggles at me the pleasure art brings.
Another great video! Really love the commentary on African idols and their influence on cubism! It’s rarely ever touched on in history (or even art history) classes.
Ohhh fantastic! I'm always ecstatic, when you upload Mr. Payne! Thank you for your hard work. It is always appreciated!
Thanks for your support 🙏
Eeyyyyy what about the Slavic epic by Alfons Mucha, that would be amazing, great work (;
While drawing I discover wat I really want 2 say' Dario Fo ✌ thank you..u are a 'Gem' m' an old soul n always will be 👑
I love the “Great Art Cities” sub-series. Really makes one long to travel again. Thanks again for all your great videos 🙏❤️
I just come back from my trip to Paris. I spend 3 days just getting lost in the museums and looking at the art there. It was unbelievable. There is still so much things left to see that i will have to go again and again ❤
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos! ❤
I really love this new series and its themes. To explore connections between artists and places over time is such a unique but insightful way of telling art history. Excellent work both of you!
Thank you, Maria! We've visited many cities and many galleries together so it makes sense to share our knowledge!
Please James keep on making these videos.. they are work of art in their own right!
Please consider covering Francis Bacon.
These videos are as stunning as the art that it presents. I'm very ignorant on classical arts, but these videos changed my whole perspective in appreciating art as a whole.
Amazing work
Hello ! I really love your channel, you are pure gold on UA-cam. I wonder if this comment will get to you, but I wanted to know do you know something about The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living by Damien Hirst, and is there any chance that you will make video about it ? Keep the good work, regards from Serbia !
Possibly - thanks 🙏
Excellent video. Sculpture is not really my thing, but even that part was still interesting. Great historical background to some artists and paintings that many of us know but don't know too much about. Keep up the good work.
Whenever I watch your content I wonder how do you do to find such amazing footage, the quality of each painting it’s amazing. Congrats to you and your research team.
What a delightful series! I am an art guide in Paris and it's so great to have the special attentjom given to these parts of the city's artistic tapestry. Congrats
Oh Merci!
Speechless! Incredibly lovely study.
I can't begin to say how much I appreciate your videos. The references, the context, the pace, the details, the image choices... every aspect of your videos is so intriguing, nourishing and satisfying! I consider myself knowledgeable in art but when I watch your channel I realize there is so much more to learn. I can't get enough, please keep making more
I at least visited the Musée de Montmartre in my one trip to Paris in 2014. If ... no, WHEN I return, I'll check out the others.
I'm proud of being romainian and hearing about Contantin Brâncuși
You should be - he was brilliant!
No surprise there but amazing video as usual
Woooh, popping my hat off to you as a Parisian. After NYC... Could we have a non european/American city? Kyoto? Tokyo? Beijing? An African City maybe?
Paris is indeed not only a cultural City of Light but a City of Art-and your masterful and deeply insightful dissertation embellishes this reputation. Appreciate your featuring Suzanne Valadon and Constantin Brancusi-artists that deserve more credit and recognition.
Amazing, as always. I’d be really interested to learn more about the influence of African art on modern art. Seems fascinating.
We have an African city scheduled. Watch this space!
What a quality video. Question for the uploader: if I'm an art lover and want to visit Paris for the first time, for that reason, would i get as much enrichment out of an itinerary that includes only studio-museums like these, or should I still brave the queues and crowds of the Louvre and Orsay?
No I would do the “classics” too - if you plan it right the Louvre and d’orsay can be manageable (ie when they have late nights - much less people!!) - I also wouldn’t miss the orangerie (in my Monet video) - james
Another superb episode. This series is really amazing. Thank you for making me discover Suzanne Valadon. Female artists need more exposure and recognition. Looking forward to New York.
Thanks 🙏
Such a pleasure to watch your videos! Thanks!
(as a note: “Brâncuși” is pronounced with “sh” as in “shit” 😀 “Brancushi”)
Great video.
Beautiful.. And beautiful narration as always.
I wait for your videos.
Your videos have educated me and enhanced my perspective. ❤
Amazing your research, curiocity, and love to art and artist...makes a new way to think on 🎨 art
I love all your videos, but thanks for doing Paris :) One still feels that electricity on the streets of Paris in a way that’s rare amongst art cities.
This is priceless. Thank you James, looking forward to your book in art history one day...if possible could you please do African art one day...
Having goosebumps and tingle everytime watching your videos. Cheers 👏👏👏
Amazing job! After each of your videos I am looking forward to your next one. I haven't found a chanel in UA-cam that is even close to this one!
Excellent video as always. Thank you for bringing Joanne Shurvell to my attention!!
Thank you!
Loved, loved, and loved again!
I'd love to see Amadeo Modigliani here too❤️ I watched the movie and so I'm searching for more....
I’m left in awe everytime you put, into such a short amount of time, knowledge that is so valuable. Thank you for this channel, know that it’s highly appreciated all over the globe. Greetings from Argentina 💙
Gracias 🙏
If only we stuck with beef, steak and muscle... Amazing video as always!!!
omg, "The Haywain" by John Constable sits in my Granny's living room and has since before i was born. I grew up always staring at it, because the house in the painting looks sort of like her house, and i always wondered if there was a stream out back with a little doggy that ran around in the past... this home is in Compton, CA btw 😂
It's crazy that i watched this video today, on the day of her passing, having grown up in that home with that painting and am just now learning the name of it and it's artist... She has so many paintings in her home, we're definitely going to keep them in the family now that she's gone, in her memory.
Yess!!! I’ve beeen waiting all day!! Thank you for the upload!!!
I love your videos. I genuinely cheered when I saw that New York was next. Keep Up the good work
This is so crazy!! I just went to the Louvre two days ago and I sat and looked at the raft of Medusa because of your video and I was so excited to see it for myself. Paris is such a great city of art.
Excellent 👍
Amazing as always, just want to give my 2 cents. In Romanian, Bracusi is pronunced as Brancush.
I kind of acknowledge that the first time I say his name but refer to him by the standard UK/US pronunciation thereafter - thanks 🙏
@@GreatArtExplained Oh I see. Thank you for the reply!
Please keep up your amazing work 👏 Subscribed with ❤
I love your videos! Entertaining and educational, my favorite combination!
Liking the video before I even watch since I already know it’ll be excellent!
Great Art Explained: it's SOOO INTERESTING!
Please do a video on art by Colombian artist and sculpture, Fernando Botero!!
Europe itself is a form of 'art'
My grandma is from Hobița, the village where Brâncuşi was born, in Romania. I used to visit the village as a child and play in the garden of Brâncuşi's memorial house every summer. It irs pretty crazy to think about this know when I can actually appreciate his work and his impact in the sculpture world.
Nice anecdote. thanks for sharing!
Looking forward to New York!
Excellent video again , beautiful explanation of the facts.
Excellent - looking forward to the New York video already!
Please do New York City next in great cities!!!
It is next! Thanks 🙏
At last! It always makes my day when I see you’ve put a video out. By far the best art history Chanel on UA-cam. Thank you!
I would love to see a video about Vermeer!🤗🌸 Great work! Love your videos!
France is so overrated when it comes to art I mean for the attention that we give to France then we should worship Italy and Greece
You took me right back to discovering Valadon for the first time at Musée de Montmartre! I spent much of the visit on the verge of tears because her work spoke to me so much. Thank you for this series: it's reminding not only how much I love art, but how much I miss traveling!
The beautiful work put together like in this video is beautiful.
I am so glad you talked about Brâncuș! You really gave him justice as a great sculptor and i truly think you explained him well. One note i have is that his name is pronounced like brâ(â sounds like the way you would say nt in “advertisement”)ncuș(ș=the like the sh in fish)
I am not an artist. I couldn’t draw a potato from an egg but I’ve always been interested in taking art history/ appreciation class. I wanted to take an art appreciation/ history in college but my schedule didn’t allow me to take an elective like that.
I find the subject fascinating. I have seen almost all of your videos and I really want to thank you for the amount of work you put into these videos.
I have learnt so much and I hope you continue to grow as a channel and get a lot of patrons so you can continue doing this and educating morons like me.
Thank you for your hard work.
So glad you are watching - thanks 🙏
IT is thanks to this video that I got to know Suzanne Valadon and I fell totally in love with her work. Thank you for that!
I absolutely love these videos! I'd love one on Alphonse Mucha
Always love watching these cause it actually keep my attention
