"Utterly engrossed in the books--this is my hunting pattern." Beautifully put. The Matisse / Bonnard book looks thrilling. The multiple image journey through successive stages of a painting sort of took my breath away. Lovely video. Nicely done.
what a quick response! there is an embarrassment of artbook riches in the store, and I was only looking through them very quickly. It was amusing to me when editing the video to see how one person in the same book section was calmly flicking her hair and standing coolly away from the books, while I was busy pulling out books and looking inside them. Everyone has such different ways of engaging. I don't think she's got a booktube channel.
@@heathergregg9975 I grew up taking the Hudson line to NYC and the MET and MOMA as a kid. But Hackers art book store on 57th street was also a paradise destination. Art books are such portals of discovery. I like that you approach them with a bit of awe and reverence and hunger for art. Some people look at a breathtaking row of books and it doesn't even raise their heart rate, sort of like in a museum where peoples distinctive response to art is endlessly fascinating. I am really liking Framed in September.
@@art.and.lit.matters I'm so pleased that you're enjoying Framed! in September as it's brand new and untried. I've got a whole playlist of "Art" on my channel, in which you might enjoy a few exhibition visits. (I'm editing a video currently to mention some of its contents). I would love to go to MOMA, it's exactly the art period which interests me. Re. different responses to art - I've got an astonishing book by James Elkins, "Pictures and tears: a history of people who have cried in front of paintings" - in which he found many of his fellow art historians (including Gombrich) had never been moved to tears in front of a painting. I find that astonishing.
@@heathergregg9975 The video I recently posted to Framed in September about Whistler and Joanne Hiffernan involve peoples reaction to art. Before Framed in September I made a video specifically about people looking at art in museums. I don't think it is for everyone but somehow I think you would enjoy it immensely. ua-cam.com/video/LsuuxhEX13o/v-deo.htmlsi=HWblrp2J5hZmQtxw
Aren’t bookstores just the best!! When Andrew and I travelled overseas, we loved visiting Waterstones across the UK. Lots of hours spent there….but we couldn’t fit the books in our luggage. There was a weight limit……
Aargh, I feel your pain. I've seen booktubers buy books and send them home in the post, to arrive weeks later. Usually, if you have the ISBN you can get the book ordered easily. But I am in love with an art bookstore in Australia, Perimeter Books. BTW, I am completely with you on the joy of spending ages in bookshops, with the interest of finding books you didn't even know existed as well as usual suspects. I think it's hilarious in the video to see the contrast of the posed, cool woman preening her hair and standing miles away from the books, while this dishevelled older woman dives into the shelves, impatiently pulling out one book after another.
Art books are so expensive. With reason, I know, they’re more than black ink on cheap paper, but still. It means that we have to leave so many on the shelves…
Thank you for the sympathetic note! On pondering what you say, I think the positive balance may be that the art books we save for and buy actually give us joy for longer than many books which are words only. Art books can be picked up and looked at and enjoyed, even just a picture at a time. And if the reader makes visual or musical art even occasionally, they're an endless resource for inspiration. Plus, the art book brings us pictures when we live miles from any galleries - and when we get to art museums, we find we have already befriended the artwork on the page and greet them accordingly.
