Fantin Latour es un pintor que siendo extremadamente sensible a la realidad no se limita a copiarla servilmente. Traduce la poderosa presencia de la realidad con armónicas y sofisticadas composiciones espaciales, lumínicas y cromáticas. Sus obras hay que verlas al natural para admirar su factura pictórica que transmite la esencia de la realidad prescindiendo de lo superfluo. Gracias por permitirnos gozar de tanta belleza y maestría
I could easily say this man's aesthetic and works are more dear to me than nearly all the others combined. It makes no difference how much I paint flowers and still-life, he is simply God, and I am his prodigal creation. 💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you very much. I knew the name '' Fantin La Tour '' but never really duged into any information about him. Great paintings to do master copies. Thanks again.
There are many angles on this idea. I think the main one is that a human can use pigment and brushes and canvas to capture a moment in time, even one that is relatively mundane, that is somehow meaningful to others in the present and, especially, the future. A lot of that meaning comes from the skill involved. If it's not skillfully done, it's probably not going to be interesting. Most normal humans do not recognize the beauty of the mundane, but artists do. They've spent years or decades developing their ability to see what others don't, but also their ability to apply that sight to a 2D surface with various tools like paint and pencils and inks. For normal humans this is magic. And it is magic. Artists are illusionists. They have to take something from the 3D world and translate it onto a 2D surface in a way that tricks the eye. That's illusion. And the best artists do this really well, not only with skill but with a message.
It may be like a photographer or poet. it capture our eyes on details we didn't really pay attention in reality I'm not sure its illusion as @psterud say, because for me it show the intrisic and inner beauty of things. The soul of things. It's that, to be an artist.
Your videos so far are very impressive, as well as informative and inspiring, not to mention exacting and deliberate. Please keep doing these. A special request would be Gustave Moreau, George Inness, or Roberto Matta.
True, it appears that Whistler and the others seem to have had a hand in introducing Fantin to the Patron. It does happen that introductions may come from a few sources-as any artist knows two or three intros to a potential client always helps..so we just decided to lay it out as recorded (written). Thanks. Good observation
My favorite artist, and a great video I will revisit often. Thank you.

Roses. Ah, roses! Especially to see them in the dreary days of late winter. Makes my heart go pitter patter.

What is it about still life that is so captivating? Why do the paintings look better than the real thing?
Because when done well, they're like a poem describing the real thing.

@@psterud So well put. Thank you
So inspiring, and a lovely calm voice

George Inness is in the American playlist. Moreau, good one
@@gammelllackinstitute Awesome. Thank you. I'm off to check out your Inness video. Don't forget about Matta. He's a titan.
Who was it that introduced HFL to Edwin Edwards? Whistler, or Matthew White Ridley? It seems to say both at different points in the video
