As an artist working in isolation.....even before Covid, I so appreciate your wonderful 'intrusions' in my day. I feel as though an old friend drops by..... Many thanks!
What dynamic accusatory eyes! No words need be spoken, Robin does indeed sit in judgement of his bohemian father; and to give credit where credit is due, Augustus has the nerve and skill to paint what is plainly visible...a son’s disregard! The irony is that this rather ill-will ends up being beautifully, delicately rendered! Thank you dear Philip, from a fan in California.
Another wonderful episode and so lovely to see the artifacts found around the house, displayed on the windowsill. Beautiful portrait too. Thank you, Philip.
I can really feel the anger in those eyes and that petulant look. Interesting subject but I would have like to have seen more of your little garden treasures too. Fascinating!
We old folks , living in isolation in the hinterland of Halifax, Nova Scotia, continue to be thrilled and excited to see your beautiful pieces of art and learn about the history of their making and their makers. God bless you and Oliver for letting us share these wonderful treasures.
This is a wonderful portrait. You can see his defiance in his face. I have never heard of Augustus John but I want to see more. So glad I found this series.
Thank you again, Philip. I'm just loving this Series 2--as much or even more than Series 1. In what already feels like "the bleak midwinter, frosty winds made moan" ... your invitation to share yourself, your home, your deep insights into these individuals and their art ... it's simply soul food. Deep nourishment. Thank you from another Canadian also on the Pacific west coast. Stay well. PS - thank you to your production team too - and to your beloved wife, for sharing her home with us!
I agree totally with the comments below. Appreciate your program so much. A wonderful reprieve during these terrible times we are in. Writing from Collingwood, Ontario Canada.
Thank you Mr.Mould. I am always in awe of your passion for art and the most amazing way you have of explaining the technique and ideas behind each painting you showcase. You can narrate the phone book and make it sound amazing and interesting. Such talent....thank you for bestowing it on us during these trying times when we are in lockdown mode. I am sure that you have a most appreciative audience.
Thank you so much for sharing your home and art collection with us. You speak about each piece with such enthusiasm and appreciation, it is obvious that you love what you do. We get to learn so much about each piece/artist and gain some insight into what makes you choose a piece for your own home. This program has been a bright spot for me during this time, I really appreciate it. I’m so glad you decided to make a Series 2!
William Selwyn is my favourite Welsh artist, the way he captures the life of fishermen and farmers is beautiful, I hope they make a program on him also.
Marvelous characterisation. My first Brush with his work was the portrait of GB Shaw at Shaw’s Corner near my home. He caught Shaws bristly humour just right. The French have a term for such a state “Pèter des étincelles” (I’ll leave the translation to the reader)which Shaw did just by being Shaw. In A J’s brushwork you could almost see those sparks. Few portraitists can equal AJ in capturing such essentials, often heightened by a sort of unfinished rest of the painting, almost a sketch, throwing the face into foreground relief.
I have enjoyed this episodes since the first one! Thanks so much Philip for make our lockdown more inspirational instead of boring. Best regards from Guatemala city
It is good to hear someone appreciate the objects of dialy life found in the grounds of the old house, that in each one 'connects' the living with the past. Love the work of Augustus John.
That tingle from the past you mention leads me to relate my own experience. White folk have only been in Australia for a couple of hundred years, but many years ago while walking at Lake Mungo in NSW, I came upon a greenstone axe-head. This probably came from the Mt William outcrop in Victoria, traded along the ancient routes. It must have been around 40.000 years old. I left it there, hidden where it belonged.....but I certainly felt that tingle!
Thankyou, I’ve so enjoyed learning about the sibling John artists! So happy you have returned with these wonderful videos, cheers from the middle of Canada ☃️ I’m going out on a limb by guessing the baby is late 19th, early 20th century🤷♀️
Love thé glimpses into art... It really pleases my soul.. Art has always meant a, great deal to me. Thank you for letting us into your world and home. Making my isolation a bit brighter and learning about art 🎨 is wonderful! ❤️
Thank you for this wonderful series...we are not in lockdown but local COVID rates are rising. Fortunately, our home is our haven. Thank you for being a bright spot here...wishing you and yours well.
Loving this series. Even before your insightful character analysis of Robin, I viewed the expression as sullen. The fact that John painted his son honestly is a credit. It seems his wife might just have been grateful to the mistress, given John’s prodigious appetites and energies - a regular satyr in fact.
A wonderful defiance, almost hatred, in those eyes and John, although probably resenting that as a father, nonetheless portrays it because that's what his acute artistic eye sees. I suspect a ruthless honesty plays a big role in memorable portraits? Top work again, many thanks
I am going to guess around 1525-1550. I am basing this on the painting of the lace on the cap. If I’m right it’s an exceptionally good baby, many in this timeframe still look like little adults perched on mama’s lap. I’m wondering about your home gallery, does it evolve? New items come in and others go to your business gallery? How does one part with someone or something that has become part of the fabric of your life?
greetings from portland oregon. i greatly enjoy your talks. it is evident in your presentation the passion you have for art. love it. and of course thank you for sharing your wonderful home and artworks. i love learning about the art and the back stories. you are a true treasure.
The son is clearly scowling at his father. The artist was clearly delighted by the look. He obviously reveled in the scorn of his son. A bit like the artist saying to him I don’t give a damn what you think of me. A bit disturbing and probably says quite a bit about the man behind the paint brush.
Amazing portrait.. his character so evident... thank you. Anyone wanting to find out more about this fascinating young man should read about when he stayed in Spain with Gerald Brenan.. "Personal Record(1920-72)“.
Hi, and thanks for the Pacific and amazing videos you projecting to us;) Will you allow us to send you some photos with our paintings depending on what subject would be requested.. and so they can be added in some of your videos like you did in your previous “art in isolation”, at the first lockdown? Would be nice to be selected with some of our paintings which could appear of interest to all viewers and maybe identifying the artists, or attributing via comments.
The expressions of the faces of the three older children we’ve seen in this series is clearly that of children who have been sent to stand in the corner as some sort of punishment.
I bet that Robin called him Augustus and not father or dad, knowing some of his history I can't see any of his numerous progeny referring to John as dad, etc.
No surprise the portrait was never sold while he Augustus lived. Twelve is an age of burgeoning independence and this probably represents the last time he didn't have a conformist "short back and sides".
Please do a updated Civilization .You are the new Kenneth Clark .BBC has been has been making a mess of art docs recently-unwatchable presenters. Wont mention names. You will be great, loved your Fake and fortune.

Artifacts begs a story. Like to know about the pottery in the middle...hmmm

These short informative videos are an absolute delight.
Please keep them coming 💚
Thank you so much for this series -as another commented, I feel like I'm stopping by your lovely home for a visit!
I agree totally with the comments below. Appreciate your program so much. A wonderful reprieve during these terrible times we are in. Writing from Collingwood, Ontario Canada.
I missed your tv series fake or furtune.. Now i like this series of your art in isolation, coz i learn a lot.. 😊

Thank you .... you are immensely articulate with an incredible vocabulary. I love and always look forward to your next video. Thanks you
Augustus John was able to capture the essence of his subjects with a very unique style. The close-ups of the brush strokes were enlightening.
Yes yes the child’s face is very very expressive. Thanks. I again really appreciate this episode!
Phillip, you just made my day! I love the presentation of your videos, the music and of course, the art!
Love the portrait of the woman with the short hair and flower dress !

thank you, Philip for another woderful episode. your program always delights, surprises and lifts me.
Phillip, thank you much for these islands of beauty and reason. All the best to you and your's.
Thank you so much Philip. Many blessings to you.
These are great. Thank you from Vancouver Island.
Thank you Phillip from Northern California.
Besides the color choices...there is something mesmerizing about how John paints the eyes.
I have enjoyed this episodes since the first one! Thanks so much Philip for make our lockdown more inspirational instead of boring. Best regards from Guatemala city
Your vids brighten my day in lockdown. thank you
A most worthwhile and informative watch - good to hear more about Augustus John
Greetings from Vermont, USA. Thank you for this delightful episode.
It is good to hear someone appreciate the objects of dialy life found in the grounds of the old house, that in each one 'connects' the living with the past. Love the work of Augustus John.
Thank you for doing this series again. I get hungry for art, though I have a nice small collection.
Wonderful! Thank you for taking the time to do these!

Love this episode. Thank you for these connections with the past.... We need an episode with just Cedric, now!
Love these bite size programs. Very interesting and the perfect balance between professional production and home spun warmth.
Love thé glimpses into art... It really pleases my soul.. Art has always meant a, great deal to me. Thank you for letting us into your world and home. Making my isolation a bit brighter and learning about art 🎨 is wonderful! ❤️
Another great episode.

What a fantastic series! I hope these keep coming! Looking forward to the next one.
Loving this series. Even before your insightful character analysis of Robin, I viewed the expression as sullen. The fact that John painted his son honestly is a credit.
It seems his wife
might just have been grateful to the mistress, given John’s prodigious appetites and energies - a regular satyr in fact.
Baby portrait 1620 ish. Lovely video about Augustus John. Thank you .
Never heard of this painter, but he is really good, wonderful work. If Phillip only responded to his youtube comments.
Thank you for your series...well enjoyed.
So interesting and informative! Your insights really bring the art to life in a new way! Stay safe and thanks so much! From the USA in Virginia.
Love Puvis de Chavannes. Did not realize he was not so well known now. The baby looks 17thc. to me. Thanks again!
Thank you, Philip and Oliver!
Always enjoy the videos, brighten my whole week. I would say about 1620 on the infants image.
Wonderful thank you !
A shoe-buckle! (Thinking of your early collection of silver shoe-buckles), how marvellous.
Hello! Well remembered. How are you?
@@philipmould7898 very well thankyou, have a tiny little workshop now in Lancs.🖼, Enjoying your broadcasts v much.take good care.
well my guess would be late 1600 ...or posing as such! Great episod as they all are...thank you from Sweden
Love that collection of your homes histories! Most would throw away amazing

Love the benediction of the presence of Cedric.
Thank you for posting ... See you in the next one ... ✌️🙂
greetings from portland oregon. i greatly enjoy your talks. it is evident in your presentation the passion you have for art. love it. and of course thank you for sharing your wonderful home and artworks. i love learning about the art and the back stories. you are a true treasure.
I like John's personna. I think we need more artists today who live as John did! Good for him.
Another great episode...THANK YOU! I agree with some of the other viewers... Some of the found artifacts spark my interest... The dates on the coins?
Thank you!
Fabulous insights. Such a great series.
Bubble Gum Pink.. both eyes are dumbed down, equally... I love the photo of Ida, so intelligent.
thankyou for sharing this

amazing portrait , thanks so much
All very interesting...not an easy artist to be involved with! Baby looks around 1570? 0r maybe 1610 not sure...guess on fashion!
Nah Vanessa... last or this century
Amazing portrait.. his character so evident... thank you. Anyone wanting to find out more about this fascinating young man should read about when he stayed in Spain with Gerald Brenan.. "Personal Record(1920-72)“.
Fantastic series.
Looks like a nice Mike Dodd vase on the trinkets shelf also.
Hi, and thanks for the Pacific and amazing videos you projecting to us;)

Good stuff, anything about his friend Sir William Orpen?
as one who is likes Meta detecting, wonderful collection love you clips well done , best regards .. to your dog too . from Canada
Plus sadness at the loss of Robin's mother, I imagine. Baby - 17th century, but more precise a date is beyond me.
glad to see you are keeping well Philip. Best wishes from here on the wirral.
He was an amazing artist and a friend of my great great aunt Esmeralda Groome (lock) as mentioned in various books.
Love this... Thank you
Inspirational .

Classic: childrens of rebels often rebel against them...
Hi,
I am thinking that probably this baby portrait of 18 century.Let's guess around 1750-ies.
Really interesting 👌..
Thankyou Philip brilliant
No surprise the portrait was never sold while he Augustus lived. Twelve is an age of burgeoning independence and this probably represents the last time he didn't have a conformist "short back and sides".
Thanks Philip, very informative. .. The baby face? my guess would be 1860-70,
Some think Augustus always lived in the shadow of Gwen
I think the baby painting to be done next time is from the 1750s....
Do I see a Time Team crossover episode in your future? Get them over there to dig some trenches in your garden!
Is Oliver still the film maker?
As for the baby portrait I would say around 1640’s.
The child painting is from 1476
Philip, if you're finding those things in your garden, you need me to come round with my metal detector.
Wow, Agustus John sure painted some, ahhhh, homely-lookin.gh women.
I'll suggest 17th century unless the baby is wearing a family christening robe or similar that is much older. My eye was drawn to the painted lace.
Please do a updated Civilization .You are the new Kenneth Clark .BBC has been has been making a mess of art docs recently-unwatchable presenters. Wont mention names. You will be great, loved your Fake and fortune.
17thC Velasquez?
brilliant truculence I'd say
I’d say 1730 for the child.
That is not a happy child. Poor kid.
