I have enormous admiration for Brian yet regret he never had children. Perhaps a son and a daughter and passed on to them his vast erudition and knowledge of art. The world would have been blessed.
A Great Art Historian and an Typical English Eccentric Snob, but really interested to watch. Brian, you had wit and certainly knew your knowledge of Art and at the same time entertaining. There is no one who could place you. RIP Mr Swell, but never forgotten.
Brian Sewell might at times have been mean and cruel about modern art and I might not always like what he had to say; but he presented counter arguments to mainstream views on what is accepted as good and that is now sorely missed.
I didn't agree with a lot of what he said, but I loved the way he said it and he provided a counterpoint almost unthinkable in these sterilised 'woke' times we live in, where many young people can't cope with a view that differs from their own. I loved and envied his not giving a fuck what people thought of him. Wonderful and sorely missed. Both parts of his autobiography are extraordinary and at times incredibly rude and laugh out loud funny.
Everything is subjective. I like to look and learn as much as I can. If there were no differences in opinions then every painting would be the same.. I like to get as many opinions as I can and then make up my own mind. My enjoyment cannot be spoiled by another’s opinion. My great uncle was in the Bloomsbury group. That is not to everybody’s taste.
renaissance, reason science / Washington & laws & regulations* 1776 is going through an adolescent crisis, it is a young nation, it believes it can do what it wishes, the answer is to denied him of his wish not by opposing Washington “the adolescent” but simply by ignoring Washington. Go on with the world without Washington. Just as it was before 1492// 1400/ Renaissance / The eventual business, philosophers and artist of the nation will understand. 1776/ Proletarians capitalist bourgeoisie. 1776 was done too soon, and now the world is feeling the repercussions, the world of Washington created an industrial revolution, which evolved in part thanks to the proletarians that became bourgeoisie, however the evolution as any evolution evolves and now, we are on the technological evolution. Washington has based his power on a military doctrine, while the world has changed, it is no longer the industrial revolution, now we are on the technological one. The military is no longer that important as it previously was, wars become unproductive, wars no longer discover new technology but impedes the technological evolution, once the world ignores Washington military; it becomes senseless. Washington has to become a dictatorship to manifest itself. Since democracy is the world not just Washington DC. It is the nation that needs psychological help. By misusing technology Washington has perverted the nation during his adolescent years. misunderstands technology. the path is to help america understand how & why the world runs, the most sophisticated way; once it learns how to properly behave, on the world that they inhabit, 1776 will make a lot of more sense.
a renaissance is arts and literature a return to the 1400 inspiration 1776 gets revamp, like taking a long distance walk to do a short one correctly, that is what the renaissance will bring to 1776. so the 1913 brainwashing ends and Freud takes a rewind. kind of AI on the new world, because america is the new world rediscovering america is the new path of 2019 21 century of technologie & science & arts.
@@chrish12345 'quality is in the eye of the beholder' & is affected by education, experiences & propaganda; sometimes I think we can recognise 'quality' in good art but then I think I'm deluded/wrong because we have all been influenced by so much so cannot have an unbiased perception/opinion unless we'd been brought up by wolves - but that would of course shape what we see and know and therefore our perception. So if loads of people (often without artistic training) LIKE a piece of art and THEY think it has a 'quality' they find appealing, does that mean nothing?

Jack Vettriano is good in the sense of portraying realistic-looking figures, but he has also been criticised for portraying an excessive number of seductive women and accused of making erotica. Many art critics like to see variation in an artist's style.
Like all art critics, Sewell is not actually an artist. Here he doesn't even know what the word "figurative" means, and not being an artist he doesn't know what he's talking about.
@@MagnificentFiend It does have many meanings, but in painting, figurative means representational, as opposed to abstract, which solely represents itself.

He was a treasure. I hope he realised how much we loved him.
I’m learning to look at something and then look again. It’s nice to get confirmation that others do the same

How wonderfully he embraces both art and the audience with his sublime interpretations ......I continue to be inspired by his words: RIP

Fascinating!
I really miss seeing him on TV.
Brilliant
a brilliant mind

Sadly most if not all so called experts are just bland and obvious ...not this man, sadly missed

He's very dismissive of Jack Vettriano = why? Because he's self-taught (?) or because he's very popular with ordinary people, or both or?
he cared about quality, like any connoisseur

Did he not say he had painted and had a canvas sold in Bond Street?
Oh dear. If you really think that you know what you are talking about and Brian Sewell didn’t then you are sadly lacking in self awareness.
Figurative has many meanings and the way he uses it (to mean 'symbolical', 'non-literal' etc) is one of them.
@@lefuedebout I'll believe it when I see it.
