The thing is, before the Enlightenment, craftspeople _were_ artists. The definition of art and artist has changed, but we treat it todays as if it had always meant what it means today. Thank you for the review, this book sounds interesting. Especially about women, as I know women were kept out of most paid crafts, but then again the middle ages were surprisingly not as harsh on women as some later ages. Shows progress is not always linear.
It is considered an art for the inventors, originators and dynamic innovators. After that, it becomes a craft and a trade fulfilling a function.. What makes the stained glass a medium for expression is when the artist breaks the conventional rules or exerts skillful and brilliant artistry, The difference between art and craft is an ongoing controversy.
Thank you for not only explaining the pros and cons of the writing and printing, but also explaining the contents so we, the viewers, can learn. Very interesting information about something I didn't know I'd care about. You are a great speaker as well! Highly enjoyable, you've earned a new subscriber
The torrent of assessable video seems to be leaving the world of books behind. You are performing an important task to keep books a part of this culture.
I had to watch the video three times…. I kept getting distracted wondering what the blue jay meme picture says. As well as the WV picture… I’m from WV… and that little feller strikes me as the most regal one I’ve yet seen. I kept trying to think of a funny kingly nickname for him… but I have no humor. Anyway, Awesome video! Oddly informative for a book review. I am of an unshakeable conviction that all books should be picture books. Every. Single. One. So I was drawn here by a writing topic that I figured would necessarily require the book to be one of…. Pictures. 10/10 +10 for a christological picture book. +6 for stained glass. +2 for the fun book shelf +1 cause I’m sexually attracted to any book that can accurately be described as a “pamphlet” (short in length) -3 for black and white So what’s that…. Like 26/10? Side note: Are you saying casseroles? They glimpsed information about stained glass windows from… Casseroles? An additional +4 if so. 30/10 I will definitely be seeking to acquire said picture book.
Thank you for your comment and your thoughts on the book- I really appreciate it! The minus 3 for black and white really captured how I felt- why put the pretty glass in black and white? As for the print, one side of my family is from West Virginia, and I picked up the WV print while on a visit! I think it is a fun addition to my bookshelf for filming. :)
Thanks for the comment! I tend to get stuck on themes when reading non-fiction and currently it is medieval times. As for Dostoevsky I have not read him. A lot of the classics intimidate me. I loved reading them in college when I would discuss with a class, but reading them on my own is sometimes challenging. I feel like I am missing so much that would come out in a group discussion. I've even considered signing up for a local community college course just to read some and be able to take part in a good discussion group.
@@badbettybooks4001 Do you feel the same about his shorter novels? I understand that a mammoth like The Brothers Karamazov is intimidating, but most of his books are average or short novels
I would check out the shorter novels! I would still feel like I would need a guide to read it though! Do you have any recommendations from his shorter works that would be good for a beginner?
@@badbettybooks4001 The first thing I ever read by him was The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, a short story that takes about an hour to read. There's also a fabulous russian animated short film based on it. A novella I think is highly underrated is The Landlady, also a quick read. When it comes to feeling like missing something, I can definitely relate, but even if you don't get all the historical references or deeper message, there is still so much to be appreciated on surface level in my opinion. I think people read Dostoevsky for different reasons :) The short film, if you're interested ruclips.net/video/jIr7cs6eEAs/видео.html
@@badbettybooks4001 I really do get the intimidation thing! Luckily there are great lectures and blog posts dissecting classic Russian literature, those can help out a lot! Discussion groups are great and I would love to invite you to the one I'm in, but I'm guessing you don't speak Portuguese. Still, if you ever pick up Dostoevsky (or Tolstoy), I'd love to talk about them with you through e-mail or something along those lines. Saw you asking about shorter novels and I can recommend "White Nights", one of Dostoevsky's early works. There's also "Notes from Underground", which is, in my opinion, one of his best works and it's just around 200 pages. Hope you decide give the Russians a shot!

they got separated into artists and artisans

Unrelated but I love the Logan Schmidt possum screen print behind you!! I’ve got the same one and have the matching raccoon hung up opposite it
Wow it’s cool that you recognized it! I really like his prints, I want more! Maybe someday you will see more behind me.

As well as the WV picture…

Anyway,
Awesome video!
Oddly informative for a book review.
I am of an unshakeable conviction that all books should be picture books.
Every. Single. One.
So I was drawn here by a writing topic that I figured would necessarily require the book to be one of…. Pictures.
10/10
+10 for a christological picture book.
+6 for stained glass.
+2 for the fun book shelf
+1 cause I’m sexually attracted to any book that can accurately be described as a “pamphlet” (short in length)
-3 for black and white
So what’s that….
Like 26/10?
Side note:
Are you saying casseroles?
They glimpsed information about stained glass windows from…
Casseroles?
An additional +4 if so.
30/10

loving your videos on the Medieval Craftsmen series.
unrelated, but have you ever read any Dostoevsky?
