Hey everyone, tune in this Wednesday, May 17 at 3:30 p.m. EDT for a *LIVE* Q&A with IN THE STUDIO instructor Corey D'Augustine. Corey will answer questions from previous videos, as well as from the live comments section. Watch live: ua-cam.com/video/3Q2GDI673lo/v-deo.html
Some time ago, I used to dislike Modern Art. When I saw this video I wouldn't think that my whole perception of MA was about to change for good. Ad Reinhardt with his brilliant work showed me the true meaning behind modern Art. Until that day when I first saw this video I have been very intrested on MA. 3 days ago actually I just finished painting a work of my own! Thank you so much for uploading this life-changing video!
This is great. Just a shame that this painting is exhibited at Tate Liverpool with a pane of glass in front of it reflecting all the light and images from around the gallery.
Respect to the artist! But was I the only one to chuckle when he said, "There is no black in this painting." Then proceeds to add black to the paint...
THANK YOU THANK YOU for posting this. I had Art since 1940's history from Charles Gaines and he made sure to cover Ad and mention certain things (like being more of an artist the AEs looked up to, or that he taught, but he was NOT an AE). I remember being inspired by the neutrality of his grey paintings
The painting was covered with glass at the Tate Liverpool exhibition a few years ago - so you could contemplate multiple reflections as well. It was just about opposite the partition wall to the next part of the gallery so you could obstruct visitors going through whilst you contemplated. Luckily the attendant was a fan and waxed lyrical about it and pointed out the subliminal colours.
I could of swore I heard that there was no black in the original painting (0:16) but didn't the narrator just squeeze an entire tube of Mars BLACK into the container (2:31)when demonstraiting how Reinhardt made his mystical pigment? Am I missing something?
Thankyou. That was superb. I love the subtleness of the painting. I can't afford one but I can certainly do one now. Thankyou. For longevity, what do you deal the finished product with please?
This is really interesting. It looked like you started on a commercially stretched and primed canvas. I"m interested in the mat / no brush stroke finish and am wondering if there is more to the prep of the canvas than shown here. Can you tell me?
as a complete noob I tried this just to see if this is really one of the "my 5 yrs old could do it" art piece ... but it is harder than it looks, the effect of no brush is almost imposible to achieve ... the end result is weird and inconsistent. but a fun project anyways, tnx for great content!
Lots of large-format paintings or intensely coloured paintings don't come across well on screens. But god damn does UA-cam's video compression ruin these blacks.
Can't say much good about Ad Reinhardt, and never considered him a seminal artist. Someone had to be an early minimalist. So I consider him lucky to have been surrounded by the better artists of the New York School. While several artists of this period are important to me, I never placed much importance on this artist. As for this video calling him a subtle colorist, I almost spit coffee out my nose on that one.
I am very glad that I saw this video. I have tried and tried to understand what makes these painters "artists," and what makes them special. I thought maybe there were some techniques or fine details that I was missing. It turns out that there really is nothing special about these "color field" paintings. It is a black painting with some slightly different blacks to pretend that this is not just a black painting. Using slightly different blacks convinces art analysts that what we are looking at color that was so "subtle in fact that it was on the very threshold of perception." There is no texture either, which is supposedly special, but the technique described is essentially making a dye out of paint. Apparently the idea is that it is similar to "waking up in the morning," in that your eyes have to adjust to even detect the differences in color. OK, but what makes that special? Every piece of art looks different when your eyes adjust, and subtleties will come out the longer you look at something and the longer that your eyes and mind adjust to the conditions. That Reinhardt did this with a black painting is no different that if I just painted something black and threw it on the wall to call it art. The longer you look at it the more your eyes will pick up subtleties and differences in the colors due to the application process. You can get the same experience by staring at any painted wall in a home. These are just excuses for people that have convinced themselves that this is good art to allow themselves to maintain their illusion that this could not have been done by any person on the street. Do we have the nerve to put it up on a wall and call it art? No. But that does not mean that the people that do have that nerve actually possess talent in addition to that nerve.
The video is compressed, making the subtleties of color get washed out a bit and even HARDER to see. I can see them... a bit, but not easily or at all times.
but I think the proses make black not like that, but use red mix with green than put in the jar with turpentine, or using blue mix with red..... not use black all..... I think not like this video way mix the color if not use black at all.....
you say that there was no black in them.. yet you add black to your paint.. wouldn't you make your own "black" first then add the strongest color you want to come through?

Where oh where is Corey, the best painting teacher I've ever come across. More. More.

The technique is more interesting than the composition i say but I'm glad it exist for those how want to take color to the next level.
This was so fascinating understand the preparation and thought that went into making this. very cool. I just find these series fantastic.
I've never known the detail in which matte paint is made and why that matters so much in abstract art. Great video!
THANK YOU for enlightening the populace about this often misunderstood artist.
This entire "terms" series is excellent!
I am enjoying watching all these painting videos from MoMA.
This is great. Just a shame that this painting is exhibited at Tate Liverpool with a pane of glass in front of it reflecting all the light and images from around the gallery.
I love having a matte look to my paint. I'll have to try this technique. Thanks for the video.
Drawing lines on a canvas? What a madman!
Wonderful video though! I love getting a glimpse into the mind of the masters.
Corey, you do one hulluva great job in these videos!
Great explanation, you gave me more idea to make any colour with some technique, especially that beautiful matte colour...
Respect to the artist! But was I the only one to chuckle when he said, "There is no black in this painting."
Then proceeds to add black to the paint...
Amazing class. Thank you!

Top notch job and explanation! Thank you!

I saw one of these at the University of Iowa Museum of Art...in the same room as Pollocks Mural.
Very intelligent work 👌🏾
that was amazingly educational. loved it.
Great video! What is the proportion of black and red (green, blue)?
Great explanation and presentation.
Very interesting, I loved to know more about the technique......
I could of swore I heard that there was no black in the original painting (0:16) but didn't the narrator just squeeze an entire tube of Mars BLACK into the container (2:31)when demonstraiting how Reinhardt made his mystical pigment? Am I missing something?
This is fascinating
This is the greatest thing ever
Hyper inspiring, thank you!

Reinhardt ... Matte master - incredible
does anyone know an adequate ratio for all three parts? How much mars black to turpentine do you need to use?
Now that drake's explained it, the black square's infinitely more romantic
Deep :) love hearing thought process behind these works
WONDERFUL!!
I like your video very much. It's really great. I'll keep an eye on your channel. I am your fan and I will support you.
great video!
my soul is dark as Ad reinhardt's Art
so cool!!!
could you do this with white?
beautiful
What is the music? Who is the saxophone player?
Reinhardt was a master.
Would like to see a How to paint like Howard Hodgkin.
Can you set the subtitles for translation to all world countries languages, please?
wow, so nice :)
In art the first project we did was using colored pencils and make this picture. I didn't finish it..
Can you do a video on Yves Klein please?
soooo its black paint with slight color
Has anyone ever painted an actual picture with this technique? That would be cool
He must have hated colorblind people...
Lots of large-format paintings or intensely coloured paintings don't come across well on screens. But god damn does UA-cam's video compression ruin these blacks.
wo cool. I never knew this guy. I like him though
I thought you said there was no black when lot of black was used??

wow, ive never known that drake is so much into fine art...
:19 no black in the painting? Uh, he mixed with black and then those primary colors....

Reminds me of the question Why is it art? answer. Because an artist painted it. lol.
The video is compressed, making the subtleties of color get washed out a bit and even HARDER to see. I can see them... a bit, but not easily or at all times.
Interesting. Puts me in mind of The Emperor's New Clothes.
I’d impressed only if the painting was done without adding mars black. Clever idea but adding black for darkening colours hurt my feelings...
please do your painting so we see and also talk. beginning of video we see black canvas.
but I think the proses make black not like that, but use red mix with green than put in the jar with turpentine, or using blue mix with red..... not use black all..... I think not like this video way mix the color if not use black at all.....
He learned from ´Paint´.
Imgur?
I don't think this is as much art as a cool science experiment
you say that there was no black in them.. yet you add black to your paint..
wouldn't you make your own "black" first then add the strongest color you want to come through?
Interesting......must be a nightmare for the art conservators, as with most paintings in that era.
Rods don't detect color my man,only Cones
And I disvover this 8 years late....
The idea behind is cool, but the fact that this will sell for the same price as the Mona Lisa is kinda stupid.
hilarious: "quite a bit of mars black...."
its a black square, end of story
Rods don't detect color my man,only Cones,very interesting though
alot 'o bs - just enjoy the art, dont try to write about it- if its good it will do the talking...
Even at 1080p, the video still has artifacts and sucks. Way to go.
