It's a relief to listen and watch Waldemar's lectures, not only because he's brilliant, speaks well, and can actually pronounce words correctly in other languages, but also because he uses a marvelous sense of humor and is completely devoid of the atrocious hubris so staggering in most other presenters.
I know that all the rest of you also love the way Waldemar walks. His shoes. His penchant for filming his feet as he strides ponderously about the art world tickles me every time. I just love ZCZ.
Outstanding single episodes and amazing series. I don't know what category this would fall under, Oscar or Emmy awards. But it's should be considered a crime if this wasn't acknowledged with some prestige. It's also a master class in pedagogy. Even the most jaded student will find this solid gold. Thank you so much.
Dear Mr. Januszczak, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge and unique perspective about the Impressionism. I am your dedicated student, and your greatest fan. Your teachings bring great joy and happiness into my life. Thank You and your wonderful crew for creating these amazing documentaries!
Another absolutely brilliant film by the art form himself. Any amateur or professional filmmaker here will see the work of a genius which Waldemar is. The storyline, the script, camera work, cutaways and editing are all superb.
"If I was an artist.." Waldy says when talking to the Roche pastel person. Yet, of course, he is an artist.. an artist of the mind. And possibly, in our times, a more profound and potentially influential artist (of the mind) than many of the great artists of the past. I have loved the great art all my life.. and that's becoming a long time now.. but yet in just a small amount of time I have learned so much from watching and absorbing Waldy's incredible insights about that great art. Further, I am sure there are many others like me experiencing this now. Wonderful!
Yes, absolutely, a great discovery> Another brilliant film by the art form himself. Any amateur or professional filmmakers here will see the work of a genius which Waldemar is. The story line, the script, camera work, cutaways and editing are all superb.
@Kat Harper here here, perfectly expressed. I’m in total agreement. Also, the original post just says it all too. I learn so much from Waldy and I adore his perspective on things.
I like Waldy, too, but let's settle on calling him a skilled and charming popularizer of art criticism. There have always been good popular critics, and he's one of the finest making accessible programs on art today. But he's not an artist, at least not in this capacity. There are great artists today - you're probably as likely to have heard of them as most people were to have heard of Degas during his lifetime . . .
I'm deeply grateful to access Waldemar's videos. I have watched all of his episodes here on Perspective, and purchased copies of several other episodes. I'm suffering from severe bout of depression and PTSD, and when life gets tough, I escape into one of his videos. To say that they save my life is an understatement. Thank you, Waldemar and Perspective, from the bottom of my heart.
I really enjoy watching Waldermar he brings a sense of fun and visualisation. I can picture things more clearly and he is very knowledgeable about the art movements of the past. I like the way he brings it up to date.
I teach art history and have for a very long time. Love the "Perspective" videos - they are great. I play them while I am grading digital papers (with COVID, that is OFTEN). Love it! Thank you!
Waldemar Januszczak - I love watching him! He is so entertaining with his charming confidence, knowledge and a bit of piss and vinegar. He makes me laugh often. Will watch anything he hosts that is written and produced well.
Thanks for such a good documentary. I especially loved the parts about Caibotte and Mary Cassatt. I had the same impression that she seemed a little "too sweet," "too obviously feminine," but you taught me to see deeper.
Thanks, Waldemar, for your expressive impression of Impressionism. Once again, you have explained the allegorical and physical connections of art, to the world, and to other art
Photography invented blurry images and what a surprise to see movement before motion pictures. As shutter speeds increased artists used those action captures. Impressionist color took off where photography couldn’t go. Thanks WJ for your fresh insights.
Too bad he did not spend more time on Mary Cassatt. Her painting the homely girl ( “Girl Arranging Her Hair”) has an interesting backstory. Degas was famously cranky and chauvinistic. He did not like women painters and once told Cassatt “women know nothing about style.’ In answer to his challenge, she found the unattractive girl and painted her with elegance. When she exhibited it in the final Impressionist salon, Degas bought the painting and it hung in his home til the end of his life. When he bought it, he sent her a note that read, “What style.”
Gosh, I absolutely love your videos! I learn so much more interesting facts from them than from books and other videos! PLEASE, PLEASE keep doing more videos!! 🙏
These are so good. I love how the host is packing so much information about all these artists in these programs, and making it so interesting. I'm learning so much more than I ever learned in school or college about these amazing people. Not to throw shade on any of my former teachers or anything. I just didn't absorb what I am now. It might be my age and actual desire to know what I never knew before. I remember being focused on one artist (when I was younger) and, I guess, it gave me tunnel vision for the rest. Now, I want to know about all of them. lol.
all your programs about art are gorgeous, really ingenious which conveys the feeling of a wonderful world that we receive new information and understanding about art. Thank you.
I love only the videos hosted by Waldamere please give us more more more!!! You a amazing and amusing and hold my interest. I loved the Impressionists the most together and separately.❤️ what is the song I can’t understand the words “seven something “.? Love it my favourite . Keep it up Waldamere x
The pastel shop w clips of the nudes brought Degas to life. I feel as if he's alive.. Great interpretation of figures and horses' forms. What an adventure
I have learned so much about art and artists and HISTORY from this series. I'm blown away! Waldemar has taught me to really look at the DETAILS of art! THANK YOU for this series!
Waldemar with his art knowledge, draws bdeople to learn and love art as well as appreciate art and gives us with his most enjoyable and entertaining manner as well as humor has done more for art for the general population than anyonne I know. An amazing man and wonderful love of art that is infectious to all watching his videos.❤ 6:02
I have to confess that I never knew of Gustave Caillebotte although I have visited so many galleries in a number of countries, and he addresses just the sorts of subjects and settings I find most interesting. Isn't Ford Madox Brown's "Working" an earlier painting of workmen? Although Brown's painting seems almost allegorical while Caillebotte's is a realistic portrayal of the actual. I can imagine an exhibition of the two Gustave's, Courbet and Caillebotte.
I love his video that tells and related the reason why various masters select creativity and view objects differently. I've seen the carpenters scrapping the floor many years ago wandering how unique the angle of perspective is picked? Now, l got the answers to all my queries. Thanks so much!!!!
Love this presenter, and the way the art styles, and history is analyzed. However Perspective really needs to number these series, its not clear which video to start with on any of the series. :)
As a student of the History of Art I find your videos genuinely helpful. It's an earnest request if you please number these videos as 1, 2 etc so that it'd be helpful for us to know which to start or continue. Thank you
Absolutely friends, becoming witnesses of a certain landscape, of a lifestyle, of fashion is suuuuper delightful, let's enjoy exploring the Past once again
I've really enjoyed this documentary, but when from 45:05 he says that the reason why he had dismissed Cassatt's work until he filmed it was because her paintings looked "too obviously feminine" I asked myself... what? Is that inherently wrong, thus "less artistic" compared to ...whatever it is? And what does being "too obviously feminine" mean, by the way? He absolutely means well, but that innocent remark speaks volumes on how baseless prejudice has been able to sideline female artists for centuries, not only in their time but also up until very recently.
Well, you have to take into account that the presenter is a male, and therefore IS already biased. A male's work is made in his perspective, not a female's, so it would make perfect sense if it resonated to him more.
Caillebotte even painted the wedding ring of one of the woodworkers. He truly told the story of these men as humans with a back-story. Not just topless workers. And thank you so very much for celebrating female impressionists like Bracquemont as well. ♥️♥️♥️
What a fascinating video about impressionism - I will have to watch it several times - so many beautifull works of art - In Degas’ interpretation it seems that ballet et pastels are made for each other and the works of Gauguin are just amazing 💗🧡💛
Yet another episode which is both entertaining and informative. I do love listening and watching Waldemar with his quite quirky style especially talking to camera over his shoulder. However I need to be picky and when he talks about the cabinet scraper at 39 minutes in and holds one and pushes it as if to show how it’s used but of course it’s pulled towards you not pushed. And the edge is not so much sharpened as turned over with a burr which produces a very effective tool to scrape surfaces smooth and remove surface layers or to smooth the wood down.
The gripe some people have with Gauguin (myself included) isn't that he left his wife and kids behind, it's that he actually got himself _very_ young "mistresses" in Tahiti - as in, barely out of childhood ones.
A bit in his defense: he had been suicidal, had been kicked out of the family he loved. He turned to a life where he allowed himself to be wilder, less conventional. True, today we recognize ways in which men exploit women that were not recognized at all back then, and we feel bad for the women. But we do not know about the dynamics of those situations: perhaps those girls did not feel exploited at all. I don't know anything about their lives. Do you?
@@david203 well, I know you don't have sex with children or pubescent people. Doesn't matter if they feel exploited or not, the point is they're too young to have the maturity needed to make the decision if that is right or wrong. The _adult_ is supposed to know that's not right. That's why an adult giving oral sex to a child is a crime, even if the child thinks it feels good, and can't understand why that's the case. It's actually very alarming that you would say something like that. We have many cases of young people on the internet feeling good about themselves and even flattered because they're getting attention from predatory adults. They don't understand they're being exploited, and in fact feel instead appreciated. And yet, we all know those are sexual predators who would be thrown in jail immediately if they were ever caught. Just because it's "normalised" in some time periods of even cultures it doesn't mean it can be excused. Otherwise we'd all be fine with honour killings, public execution by stoning, with burning people at the stake or convicted prisoners bring drawn and quartered. All of this is shocking an ethically problematic, regardless of context.
@@Palmieres Well, I agree fully with every word. I was just pointing out some of the facts of Gauguin life and how he reacted to them. He was really searching for some sort of normalcy after his years of a really awful marriage. Unfortunately, his time in Tahiti was not at all normalcy, but acting out. He did take his own situation a bit better than his friend van Gogh dealt with his.
@@akschmidt2085 It certainly isn't. But if we are to ban artists and other contributors to society based on their abuse of others, then would not most such contributors be banned? Einstein was IMO the greatest physicist who ever lived, yet he treated the women close to him with great disregard, bordering on abuse. Should we ban the study of the giant segment of physics that Einstein developed? Should we ban the works of Frederick Delius and other composers who hurt their wives by visiting prostitutes and contracting syphilis? Let us understand the bad things that artists do and forgive them, as God does, so that what they created can be enjoyed by those whose life is improved by that enjoyment.
Oh my goodness, can't wait to watch this one! I adore this series! Btw, does anyone know the little intro song name? Do they have the full version of it?
I came to these videos to learn about art. I now seek out ANY video hosted by Waldemar Januszczak. He raised the bar on videos very high.
Right. I found this fascinating. Especially the Gauguin pictures of his children.
Same.
Yes!!!
He's basically the David Attenborough of art
I feel the same he’s amazing .
It's a relief to listen and watch Waldemar's lectures, not only because he's brilliant, speaks well, and can actually pronounce words correctly in other languages, but also because he uses a marvelous sense of humor and is completely devoid of the atrocious hubris so staggering in most other presenters.
Facts!
I know that all the rest of you also love the way Waldemar walks. His shoes. His penchant for filming his feet as he strides ponderously about the art world tickles me every time. I just love ZCZ.
Lol yes his walk is great
Hahahaha i thought of that too... It's like a duel from some spaghetti western. Gunfighter vs opponent, low angle shot, ready for action.
He kind of paddles, he waddles himself forward like a penguin.
If only there were more teachers like him back in school
Waldemar is a genius communicator, breathing life into history and art and filling us with awe as we follow him in adventure.
Waldemar Januszczak is simply the best.
Outstanding single episodes and amazing series. I don't know what category this would fall under, Oscar or Emmy awards. But it's should be considered a crime if this wasn't acknowledged with some prestige. It's also a master class in pedagogy. Even the most jaded student will find this solid gold. Thank you so much.
He's the very best. So many small details that art history classes and books did not mention. I can watch these over and over.

Indeed. I like not only for him to venture into Literature, but just make an actual 'movie' movie. Definitely unique. Someone call Universal.
And that introduction, staging spoofs of many famous Impressionist paintings, was funny and amazing at the same time.
Was just about to write this myself. He's the embodiment of the great art critic.
I work with videographers, and I intend to use this as our model for making our content interesting.
...and, don't forget the background music!
Thanks Mr.Januszczak! I love what you pick out to say about art and artists.

I have been a painter for longer than Janusczak has been alive but l learn something new with every one of his videos.
These videos are wonderfully crafted goldmines. Your entire team deserves an ovation. Camera, edit, angle, sound, script, whatever 🙌

I am an Asian interested in western art. I learn by watching video and reading books about art in library. Thank you for this video.
I like this guy, he is witty.
These videos are wondeful, well made and analytical enough to focus on art at different times.
Am so loving these videos….Waldemar brings Art to life…
Gosh, I absolutely love your videos! I learn so much more interesting facts from them than from books and other videos! PLEASE, PLEASE keep doing more videos!! 🙏
I completely agree with your assessment on Caillebotte. Fantastic artist.
Edgar Degas was a true people's observer. GREATE DELIVERY, Thank you.
Much like Sir David Attenborough, Waldemar Januszczak is a national treasure, that has such a wonderful way of telling a story!

Incredibly interesting tour around the impressionist revolution and all its geniuses. Thanks for this wonderful video!
Breathes new life and interest into old paint. WZ really gets TV...and art too. Top stuff
Oh my goodness, you make everything so interesting! Thank you.
Verily I say unto you Waldemar J., you and your video lectures do make quite an "Impression". Bravo!

The scuplture of de young dancer, her feet are in the fourth position of ballet. It's beautiful. Thank you

I would like to marry this narrator's voice and/or subscribe to its podcast
Loved the intro.
It would be great if you could a Perspective on the Group of Seven.

So pleased you included Marie Bracquemond with Morisot and Cassatt, but not even a mention of Eva Gonzales??
Thanks for the tip, looked her up, gonna study her. Bonjour...

I have looked at her work as critically as I look at any other artist, not as good. We need more Suzanne Valadon.

Waldemar , could make the making of an apple pie, the most incredible of concept’s
There is something intoxicating about pastels, such pure colour, such directness.
I watched all 58 Waldemar Jacuszczak documentaries available on Perspective during Covid
Me too! Such an escape!
Frank Gorshin was a great impressionist & also The Riddler on Batman TV shows, but he's mostly forgotten.
He is excellent.
Oh my goodness, can't wait to watch this one! I adore this series!
Btw, does anyone know the little intro song name? Do they have the full version of it?
wonderful tour by someone who owns the trails we progress on. i feel the power of rich.
