- In the second of a new series, James Payne and Joanne Shurvell combine their love of Art and Travel, as they look at less well known museums in cities around the world. In "Great Art Cities Explained: Paris", we look at three small museums which were originally artist's ateliers, or studios: Eugène Delacroix, Suzanne Valadon and Constantin Brancusi. We discuss works by Delacroix, Cezanne, van Gogh, Suzanne Valadon and Constantin Brancusi, and how those artist's works connect.

Please leave a comment (even a short one) and "like" the video. It really helps promote the channel on RUclips. I appreciate it! James
Great Art Cities Explained: Paris 17.1.22 1229pm and the amazing and/or horrendous alfred jarry.... flaneurs.. paraphysics... absurdity. i mean, i could go on.... and someone like yourself could present a dent talk on jarry as you have the voice.
You guys are gems
Thank you for the info
Thanks for the new video on my BIRTHDAY!!
Excellent and enjoyable material
I don’t know if the creator of this channel knows how much these essays inspire. I have picked up the piano and painting because of him and it has made my life so much more meaningful! So grateful that despite all the friction the internet could foster, there are too these individuals and communities that open the door to provide access to the most beautiful rooms of human existence. Thank you, Mr Payne!
I had never heard of Suzanne Valedon, thank you for talking about her. Great video as usual.
She is so underrated - thanks for commenting 🙏
she sounds amazing enough to get her own video! please do her more justice :D
Is there a biography of this woman? I’d read it.
I took a 19th century French art course in uni and I don't remember the prof mentioning her!
Thank you for mentioning her. Your videos are great!
This Channel has some of the best art documentaries I have ever seen.
Thanks 🙏
they're amazing digests: not too long and not too difficult, so casual curious viewers could get educated without feeling snubbed.
I'm art historian, and yet find so much new information. Thank you for so laborous work. I know how long it takes to gather all m right data. Appreciate it. Keep spreading your love of art.
If there was a love button I would use it for this video. It’s so in sync. Your voiceover that starts after the first melody of Debussy’s impressionist first Arabesque is introduced. Great depth and reflection. Please keep up your amazing work.
Thank you 🙏
I agree - wonderful! (By the way, if you’re interested in further pursuing the beautiful Debussy piano piece playing in the background, it’s his Arabesque No. 1.) Blessings!
@@TheRickuren thank you! I was wondering what it was. I just knew it's wasn't Claire de lune
🇫🇷
@@TheRickuren only just saw your comment, thank you for rectifying that! I edited my comment. :)
Never get enough of your videos! I’m an aerospace engineer. I like logic, numbers, and fact. But i really enjoy watching your videos and getting to see the art through your lens and in the context of the times and artists’ lives. To me, your explanation sounds like poetry and for a few minutes, I’m a full blown artist with no regard for the black and white thinking science has engrained in me. I get to see the art through the many shades of grey they truly contain
Thanks for the comment 🙏
Constantin Brancusi's 18-month walk to Paris makes him even more bad-ass than I already thought him to be. Now THAT'S dedication.
Amazing. Parisian born and raised, I've never heard of Suzanne Valadon before. Her paintings feel so modern! Thanks for the discovery, James & Joanne!
Thanks for watching! We also learned a lot about Valadon while researching her. Agreed that her work does feel very modern; she was a big influence on women artists who followed, including Alice Neel and Jenny Saville.
Valadon is such an underrated artist. Thank you for shining the light on her.
I’d love a whole video on Valadon! I want to go back to Paris so badly, thank you for this video James, as always I can’t wait for the next one
Thanks for watching 🙏
I really like the narrative contextualization of "Great Art Cities", it gives reason to highlight several different artists in an economical amount of time! For someone who doesn't always know which artist I would like to look into, videos like these really make for great springboards. They always leave me with a few new names to Google, and a few new stories to read - Thanks a ton!
I never comment on RUclips, but these videos are so good! Thank you for making art so accessible and thank you for introducing me to Suzanne Valadon ❤
Thanks 🙏
Agreed!
I was never much into art, I preferred literature. I always used to think there was so little to interact with in art, but your series has opened the door to me for what's become a new passion, everyone of these videos only inspires me to read and see more. To quote Hamlet, I feel 'as if increased appetite had grown by what it fed on'. Many thanks again James and Joanne.
We're so pleased to hear that, Tom! Our aim is to profile lesser-known art galleries and museums in each city. New York is next.
As someone with a passing interest in art over my life, you have not just educated, but made me fall in love with these timeless stories. Compulsory viewing.
Thanks 🙏
@@GreatArtExplained No Sir, thank you. My father's life was as a commercial artist (you know back in the ancient times when it was by hand, not computer) but he never just painted for pleasure. I painted still life in school and was laughed at by my peers, so avoided trying further ridicule, and never again pick up a paintbrush. My father, took some of my work and framed a picture of my watercolour flowers. It still niggles at me the pleasure art brings.
Another great content! Can we take for a moment to appreciate James’ pronunciation of the names? It is excellent! My favourite was Van Gogh! 👏❤️👍🏻
IT is thanks to this video that I got to know Suzanne Valadon and I fell totally in love with her work. Thank you for that!
I just come back from my trip to Paris. I spend 3 days just getting lost in the museums and looking at the art there. It was unbelievable. There is still so much things left to see that i will have to go again and again ❤
Please James keep on making these videos.. they are work of art in their own right!
Big names of art in Paris are plentiful. But what viewers can see, as the video shows, is those lesser known but remarkable artists thriving in this city. It is a subtle statement of Paris as the greatest city of art in modern period. Thanks for sharing your perspective of Paris and making it so enjoyable to watch.
Ohhh fantastic! I'm always ecstatic, when you upload Mr. Payne! Thank you for your hard work. It is always appreciated!
Thanks for your support 🙏
I love this channel! I only discovered it last week but wow such high quality content ... Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks 🙏
I watch very few channels but this one is always fantastic
This is a great way to put the artists works in to perspective. I am a docent at our University museum. I love to introduce people to connections that artists have with each other and also with music, literature, even sports. Connecting them to great cities seems unique to me. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for your craft! We love these kinds of videos. And you have a bona fide “radio voice” ❣️✨
Thanks!
I can't begin to say how much I appreciate your videos. The references, the context, the pace, the details, the image choices... every aspect of your videos is so intriguing, nourishing and satisfying! I consider myself knowledgeable in art but when I watch your channel I realize there is so much more to learn. I can't get enough, please keep making more
Paris is indeed not only a cultural City of Light but a City of Art-and your masterful and deeply insightful dissertation embellishes this reputation. Appreciate your featuring Suzanne Valadon and Constantin Brancusi-artists that deserve more credit and recognition.
I love the “Great Art Cities” sub-series. Really makes one long to travel again. Thanks again for all your great videos 🙏❤️
At last! It always makes my day when I see you’ve put a video out. By far the best art history Chanel on RUclips. Thank you!
These videos are as stunning as the art that it presents. I'm very ignorant on classical arts, but these videos changed my whole perspective in appreciating art as a whole.
Amazing work
what a promising series, can't wait for the next one!
Thanks 🙏
Speechless! Incredibly lovely study.
The level of attention to detail in this channel challenges the mastery of the art it talks about. Definitely one of the gems in youtube.
Whenever I watch your content I wonder how do you do to find such amazing footage, the quality of each painting it’s amazing. Congrats to you and your research team.
Would love to learn more about African art and its influences.
I really love this new series and its themes. To explore connections between artists and places over time is such a unique but insightful way of telling art history. Excellent work both of you!
Thank you, Maria! We've visited many cities and many galleries together so it makes sense to share our knowledge!
Just wonderful, thank you. A friend recommended your work. I now have an absorbing journey ahead of me. Can't wait !!!
Another superb episode. This series is really amazing. Thank you for making me discover Suzanne Valadon. Female artists need more exposure and recognition. Looking forward to New York.
Thanks 🙏
Thank you so much for talking about Suzanne Valedon. I watched her part twice. SO inspiring.
Thanks James and Joanne! Fantastic work as always
thanks! NYC is next - end of July.
Your best video yet. I need to watch this several times to get all the knowledge contained within it. Fantastic!
I’m left in awe everytime you put, into such a short amount of time, knowledge that is so valuable. Thank you for this channel, know that it’s highly appreciated all over the globe. Greetings from Argentina 💙
Gracias 🙏
I always watch and listen to these videos with amazement. I knew nothing of Suzanne Valadon. I am a patreon and I love this channel.
Thanks so much for supporting the channel through Patreon! It’s appreciated 🙏
You took me right back to discovering Valadon for the first time at Musée de Montmartre! I spent much of the visit on the verge of tears because her work spoke to me so much. Thank you for this series: it's reminding not only how much I love art, but how much I miss traveling!
I really appreciate your commentaries on art. I could listen for hours. Thank you.
Some months ago I knew nothing about art (and nor was I interested in it ), but this channel introduced me to art world and it was love at first sight. THANK YOU so much.
Love your videos! Always excited to see when you post new stuff. Thank you for making these, as always, your passion shines through :)
Another great video! Really love the commentary on African idols and their influence on cubism! It’s rarely ever touched on in history (or even art history) classes.
Wow, grateful for the intro to Valadon, will look more of her work up!
Excellent video as always. Thank you for bringing Joanne Shurvell to my attention!!
Thank you for creating a vibrant video for the place of, "liberté, égalité, fraternité."
I said to myself I would watch just a few minutes of this video, but really couldn't stop until I finished it. So informative and beautiful!
Artworks can make working from home bearable. These videos are the perfect lunch break. Much appreciated!
Fantastic ! ... would love to say "as always", but, in fact each time i've watch another of your production, it's better and better.
Again, thank you !
Oh thanks 🙏
I appreciate the engaging way in which you explain great art without sounding pretentious.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos! ❤
My grandma is from Hobița, the village where Brâncuşi was born, in Romania. I used to visit the village as a child and play in the garden of Brâncuşi's memorial house every summer. It irs pretty crazy to think about this know when I can actually appreciate his work and his impact in the sculpture world.
Nice anecdote. thanks for sharing!
I love all your videos, but thanks for doing Paris :) One still feels that electricity on the streets of Paris in a way that’s rare amongst art cities.
Loved, loved, and loved again!
I'd love to see Amadeo Modigliani here too❤️ I watched the movie and so I'm searching for more....
Always love watching these cause it actually keep my attention
Having goosebumps and tingle everytime watching your videos. Cheers 👏👏👏
Wonderful, James! Where on earth did you get the footage of Delacroix's funeral? He's one of my favorite artists. I hope you'll do more on his works.
Yes I will be doing a full film on him at some stage - thanks 🙏
James finds footage no one else can!
That was striking to me as well. Have never read or seen anything else from Delacroix's funeral.
He was the cameraman. Cursed with everlasting life, James wanders the earth making RUclips videos about the only thing that provides him with some semblance of emotion and his last remaining connection to humanity...art
The channel makes sparks joy
While drawing I discover wat I really want 2 say' Dario Fo ✌ thank you..u are a 'Gem' m' an old soul n always will be 👑
This channel is a gold mine! Thank you so much, James. Looking forward to your next video!
I'm going to Paris for the first time soon, since we will be going to the museum I thought I should brush up a little on art, just so I can take in their meaning and appreciate their beauty a little more and MAN, I couldn't have asked for a better channel!
this channel always makes my day better, thanks again
These videos are treasures.
thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. It's channels like this one that keep RUclips alive
I love your videos! Entertaining and educational, my favorite combination!
Such a lovely and fitting use of Debussy’s Arabesques! Sent chills down my spine. Thank you for making these videos, Mr. Payne.
Thanks for watching
A big thank you for the work you're doing. This video is one of the most touching ones in the list. I feel your deep love towards art. So keep making new videos, your work is appreciated!!!
Beautiful.. And beautiful narration as always.
I wait for your videos.
Your videos have educated me and enhanced my perspective. ❤
Yess!!! I’ve beeen waiting all day!! Thank you for the upload!!!
Thank you for all this free content. I forgot how much i loved art before and then i saw this channel by accident and im in love again
Great Art videos have become a delightful part of my life recently. Please continue sharing your expertise with us, it is such a generous gift. Your videos always make my day, thank you for efforts, James!
The beautiful work put together like in this video is beautiful.
Fantastic as always. I love the way you connect the works of different artists and make understanding not only one of them in particular but a whole era so much easier. Thank you so much for educating us about art in such an articulate and beautiful way!
Amazing, as always. I’d be really interested to learn more about the influence of African art on modern art. Seems fascinating.
We have an African city scheduled. Watch this space!
Pleasantly surprised that you did another video on art cities🥰 yay!!
Venice is next as we will be covering the art biennale next month, followed by New York in early summer.
I've had the privilege of visiting Paris twice. I love it so much .
I’m so looking forward to a Great Art Cities Explained: New York episode!
There already is one!
Sussane Valadon es toda una sorpresa , no la conocía, gracias
Watching these videos puts my mind in a different frame of thinking and they calm me in new ways. Thank you!
james, seriously the best video i know of!! lovely work, really something worth appreciating.
Another wonderful video, thank you so much James. This series has been so enlightening.
Ah yess city of fashion and art what a perfect duo💕 Thank you for this video Sir James🤟
Thanks 🙏
This the highlight of my day. Such an amazing video.
This is so crazy!! I just went to the Louvre two days ago and I sat and looked at the raft of Medusa because of your video and I was so excited to see it for myself. Paris is such a great city of art.
Excellent 👍
Absolutely love your videos. They all show such interest and consideration for the artists and their work, and each video leaves me excited for the next. Thank you for sharing your passions with us :)
Liking the video before I even watch since I already know it’ll be excellent!
I had the pleasure of seeing Dance at Bougival last year when the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston loaned some of their impressionist collection to the NGV in Melbourne. Now learning about Suzanne Valadon and how awesome she was makes that memory even cooler! Thanks!
Very enlightening! You introduced a lot of artists that not very familiar to general people. Thank you so much!
This is the best channel on RUclips
Another fantastic video. Thank you for making understanding the works and lives of these artists so accessible to all
I love this new series on art cities. Please keep ‘em coming
Thank you James
Excellent work as always James, my favourite channel on RUclips!
Very excited to see Brancusi appear in one of your videos - keep it up.
Your narration is superb. Passionately calm. It’s meant to lecture about art. I’m so happy to discover Valadon, I have to thank you for that.
I always love your writing, that walking across Europe line was godly. Excited for your next video!
