The perfect art documentary. Told in their own words as often as possible. Mostly stills of paintings, and never wrecked with fake 3D effects that ruin the compositions the way randomly slowing down and speeding up playback would wreck music. Well researched, contextualized, and still all in an inspiring dramatic arc. Just amazing all around!
Wonderful documentaries, so many salient points about their early lives, influences, struggles, politics, families, etc. Great film footage and early black and white photos, which bring the artists - and their environs, to life! Top presenters too, eg: John House, Paul Hayes Tucker, C.Moffet. I for one, appreciated Linda Nochlin’s comments. We learn how hard it was for women artists at the time to actually carve out a career. Thank goodness attitudes do change. (Speaking as an artist!) I cried more than once in the second film! So poignant . And yes the musical score was great too! All round “Well Done” and highly recommendable to Art History students or lovers of Art in general!
I was ASTONISHED to find out at the end of this that it was an A & E/History Channel production. This is the kind of programming they used to turn out 20 years ago. Now it is almost exclusively "reality TV" claptrap, without anything even remotely passing as educational. Thank God for RUclips, where documentaries go to die (and be reborn).
I had this on vhs, taped from a&e when it came out in 2001, I watched it endlessly, it helped make me the artist I am now-anyway, the tape eventually got old and died like overused vhs tapes do, and years later I checked RUclips again and again, for a long time with no luck, finally one time, a few years ago, it was there, I was so stoked-yes, as u said,,thank god for RUclips, where they go to die and be reborn, Love ur comment,,and I agree 100%
“A&E” used to stand for “Arts & Entertainment “. They had fabulous shows! I loved waking up early on Sundays so I could watch “Breakfast With the Arts” (I think this video is from that show.) Now, “A&E” seems to stand for “Assholes & Extreme Sports”. Lovely, huh? 😂😿
@@poetryjones7946 yes, very true about a&e today-I remember this premiering as an A&E “biography”, even tho it was far and away better and more thorough than the biographies usually were, I’m 99% sure that it did, just because I made a point to tape it, ect, ect,....but I know it was re-run, because it was soooo great, and yes, I’m sure about the “breakfast with the arts” thing, and I also saw it a few years later in other places, I know I did, but I can’t remember, I don’t think it was the history channel, but maybe pbs, it was a long time ago, and I’m not 100% sure where, but some educational channel like that; it was just sooooo well done, it got some acclaim, and it popped up in other places, cuz when it popped again in other places, I’d see the commercial that it was coming up to air next, and I was like “this is a different channel, is it the same documentary?”, and I would stay tuned and watch, and yes, it was, so yeah, right on.
@@kayfarquar2034 no, I’m probably misunderstanding ur question, but A&E was a whole separate network than PBS, that usually did a sometimes great, but sometimes salacious series about famous people (the jerry Garcia one for example), but usually the A&E biographies were pretty damn good-THIS one however, on the Impressionists was SO amazing,,and well done that I know other educational and learning networks were def known to air it-I cannot remember 100% if it was PBS, but, I’m about 99% sure that it was PBS (this was like 15 years ago, so my memory is a little vague)-what I do remember is that the last time I saw it on broadcast television it wasn’t on A&E because I knew what channel I was watching at the time (which wasn’t a&e) and I remember thinking “oooh, is this the amazing impressionist documentary? On another channel?......so, because of how long ago it was, I wouldn’t bet money that it was pbs, but I’m about 98% sure that it was (15 years ago, they’re were only a few channels dedicated educational stuff-don’t even know about now, cuz I don’t have cable anymore, just a few streaming services)
I was truly and absolutely blessed by the quality and intelligence of this documentary!! Profoundly superior to anything else! To look into the mindset and circumstances of the artist is requesite and rarely appreciated. Exquisitely delineated profoundly narrated. Can't give enough thanks and praise!!!
I attended classes at Pratt for several years, along with other "professional" university programs. I learned some useful things, color theory, drawing, prospective etc. In the end, I found "art teachers" fell into two groups, those who sucked the soul out of the students and those who encouraged creativity. Thirty years later I do what I want and listen to no one, I'm much happier and my art sells too.
There's a third group, those who can't teach color theory, composition etc because they don't know what that is,, and in their pursuit of creativity, they suck your soul out. When I looked back at the very first drawings I did, when I was in art classes in college, I was blown away at what I could accomplish back then, granted old French advertisement posters aren't extremely technical, but yeah, after taking art classes from junior high to college, I still sucked at it and I had pretty much given up. A few years later, I decided to get a bob ross paint set because I thought at least I could do that, but then when I wanted to paint from life, I got some books on drawing and painting and started to see and I learned more in a few months from a couple of books and youtube videos than I ever did that entire time in school. It had not occurred to me until AFTER college that there might be books you could learn drawing and painting from because not one teacher ever had us get a book or even like..recommended drawing books. I wish I would have purchased the one on composition though, because after I read that book, I could suddenly see the composition in works, and I started seeing things like...colors in reflected light and shadows after trying to paint for a while.
I'll take back one thing..I did have one teacher in college I liked where I learned stuff, and for me, when I learn something that makes me better able to capture what I see, that is very motivating, so I liked that teacher, and he taught these things in a fun way, but yeah...I still could draw better in high school than I could in college, and that was just purely done on observation. The thing I hated most was putting hours and hours of time into drawing boring still lives of ugly objects like a tacky ceramic owl in a bird cage.
I feel bad for anyone who went to a university art program. They are responsible for destroying art education in the US by largely focusing on trying to get students to be "artists" rather than teaching them the fundamentals. Thank god we now have an explosion of ateliers and classical art schools now. Learning useful things like drawing, color theory, perspective (you obviously didnt learn enough about it since you spelled it prospective haha) Its not about creativity. Creativity happens after education. Anyone can be creative. Thats the easy part. Having the tools and foundation to build that creativity upon is why learning from good teachers is necessary. Selling art is IRRELEVANT. Amateur shitty artists sell well all day long on etsy. Most Americans will buy crappy hotel art for 30 dollars on etsy but that doesnt mean the artist is doing great work. Selling has nothing to do with it.
this is the best documentary in art history... the backstory of every artist are very fascinating... its like im watching thier whole life history in real time... it so so so good... and the fact that it also include some history about war not only the impressionism movement... and to think i didnt glance the running time even once is a miracle..
What a great docummentary ! I think it is the most powerful one I ever saw on painting. Monet was truly a genius. But I really feel something when I look at Degas selfportaits. They are so deep so true and far more interresting that the photos.

The satement that artist preferred to devote themselves to their art, as said here, rather than accept part-time work. What part-time work? All jobs (other than government jobs) were 16 hrs. a day. And no energy left for art. Tough times.
Do you really think that any of those french painters even CONSIDER working at a factory or on a farm? Really? If anything, they would consider to be a clerk, or a teacher, or bureaucrat, or some other "intellectual" career, but definitely not something requiring 16-hour heavy labor work shifts. So, yes, for them the prospect of a part time job had been quite within a realm of possibilities, if they'd chosen so.
Never had enough lmpress. documentries. Such a magnificent times places and people. I wish Art Neovoue had the same lifespan or even at least some more documentries. Thanks a lot.
I was caught off guard by Camille on her death bed at about 4:30 and I don't know if I'm just emotional today or what, but that brief glimpse of that painting made me cry.
Camille Pissaro's parents had an illigitimate marriage, then were abhorred when their son, Camille, hooked up with the house chef's assistant. Pretty typical & hilarious if you ask me.
33:50 I doubt Degas was really going through a depression - had he done so, he would have stopped working, stopped creating. But his life was lonely, loveless - and surely must have weighed heavily upon him. All the same, he persevered! I didn't. I became an addict and have been so for decades now.
static visual art and then moving pictures both are art... one tells story in movements and other tells a static story, and the instruments of moving pictures is mainly your camera, and story design which should be very clear in directors head before embarking on any project, only then that projection of visual can bring in gasp of admiration or just a TP [time pass] fare, but without story even the collage of great artistically visual are just that visuals that's all.
And becuase they followed their path and stayed true to themselves, and ignored their nagging wives, their grand children and great grandchildren are multi-millionaires, so🤷🤷🤷
I am glad that my favourite artists Basil and Renoir are appeared to be decent and brave men. Unfortunately I felt disappointed in Claude Monet, rather unpleasant character...
yesterday shun for all the colorful scene, and showed in the obscure area of the louvre ,today they milk the shit out of them ,with their art work printed on everything they can to sell while you visit the museum or the limited time exhibition
Can someone please suggest a book on impressionism, which contains its history, artist , illustrations and explanations. I know its a lot to ask but it would be very helpful to find that one perfect big book
I knew the narrator was probably Edward Herrmann, but it’s just plain silly to have to advance to the end just to make sure! Why not put his name in the description, to make verification easier??
The break from traditional art of the Impressionists is like the Protestant movement started by Martin Luther. A radical break from the staid R Catholicism Church brand of Christianity. The only "true" form of Christianity anywhere on earth
Hey I am making this school project about translating literature about art, I study english language and interpreting and I would love to translate this document if you make the video public.
@@winandnikolatesla2021 Manet was from the generation before Monet. He was trained in history painting, but was constantly breaking with convention and offending the status quo. He had no profound insight into color until he met Claude Monet, and then made color more a focus of his work. But his greatest contribution to the new movement was his compositions, like "Le Bar aux Folies-Bergère," which used multiple perspectives at once.
Erik Kaye thanks! ,thats explained a lot .never go deep down into history too much. i’m gonna think about going in if my interest come. thanks again btw :D
@@winandnikolatesla2021 No, no, thank You! History is easy to learn if you love the painters and the paintings. Monet and Van Gogh are two of the very best, and the others in this doc aren't far behind!
Erik Kaye Yea!! i’m not sure about doing painting but i’m always get surprised by the old master , they are wonderfull! thanks for the punch ,i mights say once again,i hope there are many kind people like you who like to shares some valueable information to others! ;)
I find it strange how people talk about artists they've never met like they know every aspect of there life's. To me it reveals a person's arrogance and stupidity
We know quite a bit about the impressionists from diaries, letters and later interviews with/from them themselves. They're one of the first generations of artists we can really know personally.
I didn't realize that impressionists were so psycho. It seems a little naïve now. You can't just say, 'everything I've been taught is stupid', and then make your own ideas pretty, without being a bit off your rocker. And oh how pretty too.
Looks like we have another whiny, bitter, incel loser just because they have a woman commentator doesn't mean she is a feminist she was only explaining how women of the upper classes at that time were brought up to take up art as ladylike hobby to pass the time and not as a career. Stop blaming feminist for your lack of a social life!

I knew the narrator was probably Edward Herrmann, but it’s just plain silly to have to advance to the end just to make sure! Why not put his name in the description, to make verification easier??
The break from traditional art of the Impressionists is like the Protestant movement started by Martin Luther. A radical break from the staid R Catholicism Church brand of Christianity. The only "true" form of Christianity anywhere on earth
Hey I am making this school project about translating literature about art, I study english language and interpreting and I would love to translate this document if you make the video public.
Thumbnail is a caraciture. Isn't it?
Usually, histories of Impressionism begin with Edouard Manet, not Monet.
Is there any different between monet and manet? i love manet’s work tbh
@@winandnikolatesla2021 Manet was from the generation before Monet. He was trained in history painting, but was constantly breaking with convention and offending the status quo. He had no profound insight into color until he met Claude Monet, and then made color more a focus of his work. But his greatest contribution to the new movement was his compositions, like "Le Bar aux Folies-Bergère," which used multiple perspectives at once.
Erik Kaye thanks! ,thats explained a lot .never go deep down into history too much. i’m gonna think about going in if my interest come. thanks again btw :D
@@winandnikolatesla2021 No, no, thank You! History is easy to learn if you love the painters and the paintings. Monet and Van Gogh are two of the very best, and the others in this doc aren't far behind!
Erik Kaye Yea!! i’m not sure about doing painting but i’m always get surprised by the old master , they are wonderfull! thanks for the punch ,i mights say once again,i hope there are many kind people like you who like to shares some valueable information to others! ;)
Background music needs to RELAX
I find it strange how people talk about artists they've never met like they know every aspect of there life's. To me it reveals a person's arrogance and stupidity
We know quite a bit about the impressionists from diaries, letters and later interviews with/from them themselves. They're one of the first generations of artists we can really know personally.
we wish there is a way to show monet , how much money his paintings made now . "Academy" "rules" worst words in the history of ART .
I dont need art historians to ruin the show. You shouldnt talk about art!

Art HIstorians and Critics: how to make a nice living out of the work of others.
Amd I’ll gladly pay to learn from their lifetime of study and expertise
Their work is why we were able to enjoy it all packaged up in documentaries like this.
impression style is just like watercolor sketching prepared by the traditional Italian painters before constructing a painting.
1:20:25 Stealing that.
Lolol me too
I didn't realize that impressionists were so psycho. It seems a little naïve now. You can't just say, 'everything I've been taught is stupid', and then make your own ideas pretty, without being a bit off your rocker. And oh how pretty too.
They were visionary in psycho society.
It is exactly the same now: a society of suckers loathing the talented ones.
We’re not some of those artists from the aristocracy?...the music is annoying
IMPRESSIONISM DID NOT AGE WELL. HENCE,,,,CUBISM, ABSTRACTION, MONET
KEPT UP WITH WATER LILLIES, RENIOR, WITH HUMAN FLESH, OVER & OVER !!!!
Could have lived without the feminist commentators.
@@tr7938 right lol
Looks like we have another whiny, bitter, incel loser just because they have a woman commentator doesn't mean she is a feminist she was only explaining how women of the upper classes at that time were brought up to take up art as ladylike hobby to pass the time and not as a career. Stop blaming feminist for your lack of a social life!
Have some Brie with your whine...bwaaaaaaa.
Wow what an excellent production
Thank you for sharing.
