I think this was one of my favourite videos from your channel. It was really nice to see how the two artists’ works could relate to one another in the show. It brought out how they both valued placement of colour, harmony and simplicity. And I didn’t know of Morandi’s etchings, which were wonderful to see!
What a great pairing! I never had a taste before for Albers but these painting are quite sumptuous. Always loved Morandi. Thanks so much James Kalm and Kate too!
Thank you Kate a brilliant show of two fantastic Artists who had similar ideas of colour and spent their lives expressing it. Amazing how at times the Morandii's had an homage to the square as well.
So thrilled to be able to see this exhibition as I couldn't get into the city to see in person. I did see the Morandi exhibition at, I think, it was at the Metropolitan and just loved his work. Albers was an extraordinary colorist. Many thanks for taking the time to bring this to us.
thoroughly enjoyed this gallery tour, with your commentaries. am a fan of both Albers and Morandi.the artworks of these artists really do complement each other and invite closer inspection and contemplation.thank you for sharing this.
Awesome show and reporting James! The atmosphere and relationship between objects in Morandi's paintings are delicate and beautiful, but his etchings are exquisite. The feeling is different in both. It is so interesting to experience the different aspects of his creativity. I love the tonal quality in the work of both artists. Albers has long been a favorite of mine. Thank you for many years of viewing pleasure! You have helped keep life sane and hopeful in these past months.
@@jameskalm Hi James. Interesting juxtaposition of terms "sanity" and "pleasure." Pleasure is very much a human thing, a human need too! In the New Normal TM, our sanity as well as our humanity seem under threat. Art, can be seen as the pleasure of the senses. The government response to the pandemic has been devastating to art and music, dance, theater. Thank you for this video! I have been distinctly unmotivated to paint since February...
@@larsetom1 For the last ten months, I feel like we've been crawling through a long, dark, spider infested tunnel . I'm lucky to be in New York, loved, and own a bike. I'll keep doing what I can to pass on some information, and I hope "good vibes" too. I can see some light ahead...JK (Stay tuned.)
Morandi...Such a great painter, radiates out to so many like Guston, Thiebaud, Diebenkorn, even Sean Scully. Also, I think Albers was at Yale when Brice Marden was a student there.
I looked at the Gehry building, 2 pm on Thursday afternoon., before going to the show. The light hit the building and reflected the sky, blue with clouds, in the most extraordinary way. In fact, I walked back to look again before proceeding to this fabulous show.
Thanks for doing these! When I do get to the City I rarely have time to hit these small galleries much. But we will be seeking them out more in the future!
Thanks James & Kate for the tremendous treat, this is as close as I currently get to seeing exhibitions, parisian galeries and museums are currently closed, I very much like for these two painters' work. One of the Alberts actually had 6 colors variations, it was a reddish one.
James - a wonderful walk through. Thank you!!! Who ever curated this really put the time in, as the artist work really did compliment each other nicely. Also, I wondered if you ever really get moved by an exhibition, do you ever go back with out camera to fully appreciate it?
I remember once seeing a Luc Tuymans still life that was rather large and very "Morandi-esque", it was a great painting but for some reason I really like Morandi's smaller dimensions. They definitely give off a very intimate and quaint feeling.
Also, with smaller paintings, you have to make an effort to lean in and look thus you get a sense of achievement in some way rather than just casually looking like we do most paintings.
While there's still time, you might want to see the film Isabella at LIncoln Center. Very Albers. Very beautiful in many respects. It's there until the film festival starts.
@@jameskalm Haha. I remember Chiclets. Presentation is everything. Trying to imagine a person who would actually decide on that look. Obviously not what Albers would choose.

James, thank you for getting up close while in front of a painting.
As a painter myself, that helps tremendously.
beautiful show
Thankyou so very much for a chance to view such beautiful master works

Im so thankful for the huge discography of videos you have of exhibitions, you are truly saving a lot of us during lockdown. Thank you.
Albers and Morandi together, what a wonderful thing to do! And thank you Kate!
Thanks James
Love the Morandi’s I did not know he did etchings how nice to see these! Thank you Kate!
What a great pairing! I never had a taste before for Albers but these painting are quite sumptuous. Always loved Morandi. Thanks so much James Kalm and Kate too!
Great job! Thank you!
Thank you for these gallery walks during Covid!

Having the opportunity to bring some "sanity," or pleasure to folks, makes me happy. Thanks @Barbara Senglaub...

Thank you for this. I have recently become very attracted to Morandi's work and now after this Josef Albers. Great show pairing.

Thanks again James! Great as always! Be safe and keep the Art alive! ( Bob & Pat from North Carolina)😎
That was incredible show! Lots to see. Morandi is really interesting.
Thank you James. A jewel.
Thank you Kate! ❤
Beautiful. My day is complete....and thank you, Kate!
thank you for you for this vidio it is an amazing study of colors and composition
Wow the green in that last Albers sprang off that canvas! Thanks for the color inspiration!
Thanks for doing these! When I do get to the City I rarely have time to hit these small galleries much. But we will be seeking them out more in the future!
Thank you James and Kate! So informative and enlightening! I hope one day I too can go visit galleries again!
Greetings from Arkansas!
Great show, right in my wheelhouse. Thanks so much!
WOW whatta show ! thanks James ...you are great ...
Great visual of exhibition. Thankyou
Thanks Kate!
Morandi , grandissimo pittore e uno dei migliori incisori !!
Thanks James & Kate for the tremendous treat, this is as close as I currently get to seeing exhibitions, parisian galeries and museums are currently closed, I very much like for these two painters' work. One of the Alberts actually had 6 colors variations, it was a reddish one.
Wonderful video, thankyou James. My art appreciation and knowledge continues to expand through your insightful observation.
James - a wonderful walk through. Thank you!!! Who ever curated this really put the time in, as the artist work really did compliment each other nicely.
Also, I wondered if you ever really get moved by an exhibition, do you ever go back with out camera to fully appreciate it?
Still Life with White Bottle and small blue bottle is sublime.
Morandi !!! Yea!!!
Thanks Y'ALL!!!
Love love love
I really like how he contrast the direction of the staples around edge of the frame
Nice! Cool how you feature the street music. I really appreciate masonite!
Putting a frame around an Albers is like putting a barbed wire fence around a Rodin.
Oh love tha Albert too!
God bless you

Thank you
Hey, James, my man. I never realized Morandi's paintings were so small. He probably saved a lot of money that way?
I remember once seeing a Luc Tuymans still life that was rather large and very "Morandi-esque", it was a great painting but for some reason I really like Morandi's smaller dimensions. They definitely give off a very intimate and quaint feeling.
@@antondavidovic3996 I would like to see more of his inks.
Also, with smaller paintings, you have to make an effort to lean in and look thus you get a sense of achievement in some way rather than just casually looking like we do most paintings.
@@johndaarteest Exactly, this is why I call smaller paintings more "intimate", they make you get more up and close to them.
James Kalm, good job again -
didn't know Warhol said that
about Mo£andi. I know Cy
Twombly once made reference
to Morandi
I thought of the squares as resting.
They were not kidding when they said Morandi, could hatch and cross hatch.
If only those squares where at the hole
It would have made my day and saved me a fortune on tuinsion:)
Morandi's squares reminds me of Rothko.
I like the Brite Rothko'$.😇😂
Nice show. Please review, Nicole Eisenman and Keith Boadwee @ Flag Art Foundation. It's got to be one of the best shows of the year.
For me the work of both artists is about the ambiguity of space. Where is a color? In front or in back?
While there's still time, you might want to see the film Isabella at LIncoln Center. Very Albers. Very beautiful in many respects. It's there until the film festival starts.
" nothing is more abstract than reality" Morandi
Morandi is the boss.
I don't think Albers was ever "brushy". His process was to use a palette knife. I enjoy your videos.
Ridiculous to put those Albers paintings in shiny metal frames, which completely overwhelm the subtlety. What a clash.
You could have a show of Morandi and Guston and it would still work.
I am into both sides of things. Weird framing of Albers in a few cases.
Yes, for some reason they made me think of "Chiclets" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiclets
@@jameskalm Haha. I remember Chiclets. Presentation is everything. Trying to imagine a person who would actually decide on that look. Obviously not what Albers would choose.
Malevich, that's the guy who painted like Albers. Right?
Ω!!
I sense ground-penetrating radar is encroaching on the archeology department.
What a strange, ahistorical pairing. Title should be "2 Hot Painters from Recent History"

Sorry. I didn't wait until the end to comment.
The main color is purple in Isabella. A cool red, a warm blue. Not like these.
Guston straight carbon copied this guy wtf
