From the allure of gold to the purity of white, artists have captivated us for centuries through the evocative power of color. Join us as we explore the history of art through the lens of some of the most extraordinary tales of color that have captured minds, souls, and even changed the course of history.

When painting in oils, a painter must add linseed oil to the pigment so that the paint will adhere to the canvas. When a painter thins his pigments to transparent washes with mineral spirits or turpentine, without incorporating linseed oil, as Rothko is said to have done, the paint will eventually dry to to be simply colored dust, once the moisture evaporates. Rothko's technique and misuse of materials is said to have contributed to the fading and and eventual disintegration of some paintings. It is disappointing that the speaker did not discuss this in his remarks on Rothko.
nice to see people still interested and study Art History Well done
Emotionally warm and rich presentation. Thank you.
Simply beautiful
Incredible presentation!!
Beautifully written and presented
no subtitles or option for auto-generated ones?
20:06
Are the Fra Angelico drawings in The MFA collection?? I can't find them in Google search!😒
This lecture was also great when I saw it as a BBC presentation by someone else - who cribbed off whom?
Emily Purcell three programmes. Gold, Blue ,White.
Dr James Fox. BBC 4 2012. This lecture 2014. If these dates are accurate we can only categorically say that Dr Fox 🦊 definitely didn’t crib and the other presentation might be copied, in part, from the TV programme .........but when you are a PhD in Art History I’m sure you can come to similar conclusions on your own! Anyway, exploring art history using colour as a theme is engaging and makes a change from chronological or stylistic themes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
ASMR, anyone?
Yes lol
No one who says Velasqwez can possibly be considered an expert on art.
How else would you say Velasqwez? It sounded fine to me. It is how you would expect an well bred, educated Englishman to say the name.
Nor could He pronounce Mary MAGDALENE, nor ARNOLFINI.
And I thought He was giving a LECTURE... NOT.. Reading, a BEDTIME STORY! 🙄😴💤
If the speaker loves colour so much...and in his case blue, why does he (and lots of men) wear a GREY suit ?...lol.
If you can't paint...paint big
If you can't paint big...paint RED🤣
Earth Rise 😂
Thought was a LECTURE... NOT... the READINGOF A BEDTIME Story! FULL of misprounctiations!!
he talks very monotonously
A comprehensive, enriching and interesting lecture. Thanks.
