Vincent Van Gogh- Understanding Modern Art
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- This time we're taking a look at the works of Vincent Van Gogh, someone who probably doesn't need much of an introduction but whose works are invaluable to our understanding of Modern art. We take a look at his early development, religious tendencies and the influences from both European and Japanese art that inspired him. We also take a quick look at the modern theory that Van Gogh was murdered and what it says about our understanding of both him and his work.

You are one of the best you tube creators that i have pleasure to watch/listen to. So thank you :)
That's very kind of you to say, thanks to you too!
Is too sad for me that not too much people see this kind of videos. This channel creat great videos with differents notions of art in them, i have read a lot of van gogh and by the way, even i loved before than i love now because exist another artist lest know but maybe so great as van gogh or any artist. But know more about art is always something we can apreciate it. Is never enough.
Thanks, I appreciate that! I'm sure more people will see it eventually but it's all good so long as those that do see it enjoy it
...Excellent work...At point 22:36, you speak of Vincent's martyrdom [religious and yes spiritual] plus his 'self-harming' being prevalent in Vincent's demeanour. The comment regarding Self-Harm does tend to suggest the 'gunshot' as the clear indications of the loss of ego, self-esteem and confidence that sufferers often tested limitations of self-imposed suffering 'self-harming' at their peril...My life experiences and observations...Love always
Your videos are amazing and have the potential to let people with no background in art history understand the brilliance of famous artists and their art. Happy to see more content, love your stuff
Thanks!
@@theartshole311 I think modern art painting wise was the last great movement
Great video! I very much appreciated that you stuck to artistic discourse over sensationalism and I learned some good things regarding art, technique and art material history here. I believe your videos would serve well in highschool and University studies regarding art.
I think this is the first time I've ever actually gotten a video out when I said I would, and all it took was a global pandemic. Like a lot of other people I'm out of work till this thing is over but at least for once I can get a good bit of UA-cam stuff done. In all seriousness I hope everyone is doing well out there in these very strange times, stay safe and with any luck we'll be back to normal before you know it.
Today we're looking at Van Gogh, and yes I'm going with the "Goff" pronunciation, no matter what way I do it someone will be annoyed so I'll stick to what I know. Apologies to any Dutch viewers out there! I ended up cutting a lot from this in the interest of it not being an hour long, there's so much to cover with Van Gogh that you could be here all day. I've tried to keep it all somewhat interesting and relatively coherent , hopefully there's not too many mistakes this time but if you see any or I just said something stupid (as I am prone to) feel free to let me know, any feedback is helpful!
Next video will be an overview of Impressionism in a similar vein to the "what is abstract art" video I did ages ago. Turns out despite my dislike of that one people seem to find it useful, so in addition to our regular Understanding Modern Art series(which will continue with looks at Gauguin, Matisse, Duchamp and others in the near future) we will also be doing a series of "What is" videos that will explore topics and movements In the arts in more depth.
I love these videos. How far to you intend to trace Impressionism? I think the turn from impressionism to post-impressionism is one of the most interesting moments in art history.
Thanks for your comment, Impressionism is a pretty big topic so this next one will just focus on Impressionism itself. I will be doing another video after that which looks at post Impressionism and pointillism too. I reckon your right about Post Impressionism, some very interesting stuff going on there but I want to have time to discuss it rather than shove it all into one video. Incidentally on the subject of Post Impressionism we will be taking a look at Gauguin at some stage soon, as well as Toulouse-Lautrec too if we get time so hopefully that'll fill the gap somewhat
thank you once again for brightening my dull rainy western canadian day! stay healthy and please keep this great content coming.
Your very welcome! I'll have more coming soon, stay safe and be well
So glad I discovered this page. Great content
Awesome, thank you!
great video, finally something that covers the actual contents of his paintings and his artistic journey
Cheers! Glad you found it useful
Excellent video, thank you for this upload.
Moment I loved this channel: when you said you didn't want to waste our time with the basic story
That's knowing oneself
Thanks, glad to hear that!
this is the best one about vincent...thank you for this video 😊
no problem glad you liked it!
Brilliantly narrated 🙏
Thank you, you must be my favorite content Creator.
Thanks, that's very nice of you to say!
Really interesting video, thought the section showing the influence of Japanese art particularly in Starry Night was very well done.
It's mad how everyone back then was so into Japanese art, it's massive. if they were around today I wonder what the'd make of anime culture now
Yes, seeing 'the wave' and Starry Night side by side is enlightening.
Thank you. I am going to the new immersion experience . I do not know much about his paintings and understanding what I may be looking at at the exhibit. Thanks for the education.
You're very welcome, hope you enjoyed the Immersion thing, hope to go se it myself soon
Brilliant video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for posting your excellent programmes on modern ert and ertists.
Lol, thanks, may have to change the channel name to "the erts hole" at this stage
Great video

I know this might sound silly, I think my dad got me a van gogh shirt because of this video.
Lol, sure that's as good a reason as any to buy a shirt I suppose, hope its a nice one
good video
Thanks!
Damien Hirst Time is oddly remmonicent of expressionism. . It’s what occurs as you experience it.
Thanks for not repeating the biographical details and focusing on artwork instead
Yeah I figure if your watching this you'll probably know a lot of that already, no need to reiterate it
Where's Monet? Where's Cézanne?
Have another video on Cezanne already, Monet was partially discussed in the Impressionism video but I may go back to him in more detail at some stage
Gone, gone ..... Mais où sont les neiges d'antan?
@@theartshole311 I think the questioner was asking about Vincent’s artistic relationships with Monet and Cezanne - that is, the deep effect Impressionism had on his development, especially his discovery of colour.
This is a great, great video. Thanks for the inspiration. Particular thanks for the connection between Vincent’s art and spirituality. He rejected his fathers Protestantism, but keep alive both his sense of calling and humanitarian spirituality - seen in his reproduction of religious works at the asylum and also in the olive groves he painted there (his own Gethsemane, for a Biblically versed man).
Can Van Gogh's style be categorised/classified as Expressionist?
Expressionism tends to come a bit after Van Gogh but I would definitely see the traits of it emerging in much of his later work, their emotive content by that stage is clearly becoming dominant over any sense of reality. Clear cut categories in movements are hard to define! There's always someone who anticipates movements decades or even centuries in advance. We'll see a case of this in the next video with Goya, but you could go back even further to El Greco to see some traits of Expressionism way before the 20th century.
@@theartshole311 I have been watching and reading more stuff since I posted that comment. And looking at the major German Expressionst works and major Fauvist works u can see the immense influence of Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin - all three of them - but at varying degrees in the each of the Expressionist painters respectively.
And yes, u r very correct in saying that clear cut categorisations cant be made, and names of movements are often umbrella terms - so much overlaps, the influences are multiple, and there is a lot of intra-movement variation.
Please increase sound level
Apologies! will fix this in future
you really gave dadaism a side-eye at the end lol
Lol, maybe a little bit. Looking forward to getting into covering a lot of the Dada stuff, much more fun to discuss than some of the more dry topics in Modern art
First of all ......How many people have you ever heard commit suicide by shooting themselves in the chest? Why would he bother to crawl back home if he wanted to die? None of the suicide motive makes any sense. The town hated him. These are the facts.
Lol thats true. maybe we should go really into this topic one day, its certainly interesting

NAPUSTIO JE OVAJ SVET U DUBOKOJ DEPRESIJI. PRODAO JE SAMO JEDNU SLIKU. OSTAVIO JE ZVEZDANU NOC I SVOJU SKROMNU SOBU I OTISAO U VECNOST. NJEGOVE SLIKE OSTALE SU. SVETU KOJI JE KASNIJE SHVATIO VELIKOG SLIKARA...
Njegov Opus je nepromenjen..Mada grubo vredi najmanje 10 milijardi evra.Slava ga je stigla samo 1 deceniju nakon suicida.Tu sliku je kupila jedna slikarka da bi ga pomogla po sadašnjem kursu za nekih 200 - 300 evra ( što je vrednost slike jednog midiokriteta).Nažalost.
