Thank you for this excellent walk through the impressionist time! Modernity is imprinted in Impressionism ! Modern life starts with it and the roots for everything coming afterwards are to be found here. Very well researched and presented and well, I’m very much looking forward to your next video!! ❤️
Very interesting. Probably more aware of this than many of your other subjects. It must have been amazing to be in that group of artists. It’s not my favorite style, but so different for the time. Good job, once again.
I expected no less, but you’ve done it again. Wielding a large brush you’ve painted with bold strokes the essence of a complex shift in art history that included a large and varied cast of characters in a manner that is entertaining, accurate and easily digestible. Well done!
I've just discovered your channel Boryana. I only came to viewing RUclips channels as a result of the isolation of Covid. Your content, presentation, and clarity are like a breath of fresh air. I"m encouraged to think that you will bring more inspiration and responses to the art world in the New Year 🌿 Seasons Greetings to you 🌿
Delightful! Who needs croquis, esquisse, etude, frottis, ebauche and fini when they can draw such vivid impressions of real life, in a simple and economical way. In some cases much more beautiful than real life. Thanks for the perspectives and bring on the new one!
An interesting investigation, smooth and elegant, great to watch (as ever), thank you..I particularly liked the part where you talk about the type of art that used to be only accepted in the "classic" times, I however think the impressionists also step on other broad and larger than life shoulders :) - these of the Romantisists - like J.M. W. Turner, Tate Britain here we come..
... and the realists like Millet and Courbet, and of coourse the Barbison school etc. Just that in 15 min I cannot cover it all. Thanks for the great comment!
I think we have been done with restrictions ever since the impressionis opened the floodgates. Now it is about venturing in unchartered territories. NFT perhaps?
This is because Boryana, at least in my opinion, is a very good narrator. And he is a good storyteller because he is a good connoisseur of art. Her interests in this field are wide and she also paints.
Impressionists are phenomenologists Something which Husserl and Heidegger explained something very simple yet too complicated or absolute farce when viewed with an empirical eye. These legends just did that with aesthetics unlike the aforementioned philosophers.. Certainly it's the painter who always lead the game. As Schopenhauer said "Let us treat the artwork as a king, let it do the commanding" Well impressionists did it by taking on the modernity like an Emperor Thanks a lot for the video
An interesting juxtaposition of the establishment world of the Academy that tried to control art in France and the Impressionists who adopted the term employed by their critics to break free. I'd highlight the role that the "father of Impressionism" Edouard Manet played. A full 10 years before the first Impressionist exhibition that you discussed, he had his 'Olympia' rejected by the Academy and instead exhibited at the Salon des Refusés. Together with 'Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe' it broke out of the traditional views of the academy, especially in terms of the representation of the female nude -- previously confined to 'respectable antiquity' not shown, as with Olympia, as a contemporary.
Thank Ian! Indeed Manet occupies a special place among the Impressionists inasmuch as his contribution was not so much on the formal side as it was in terms of the content and subject matter. A fascinating artist!
Hi Boryana, Loved watching your video! So informative, playful,professional and easy on the eye! Great job! Things are starting to make sense to me; eg Impressionism 👏❤️🌺

Thank you both, glad you liked it!

Thank you Koke!
Really enjoyed the historical context, and now I know cool things like why they are called impressionists
Thank you!

Just like many others I am an avid fam fan of Impressionism and the mastery of capturing light... Love the twist to the smartphone .. great video!
Thank you!
I love this and would not miss any of your videos.
Thank you!
Excellent stuff as always! Where do you think the next revolution will take art to or have we forever abandoned restrictions?
I think we have been done with restrictions ever since the impressionis opened the floodgates. Now it is about venturing in unchartered territories. NFT perhaps?
i love the capitalism/contemporary through-line in all your videos. you always manage to make the old stuff relevant

Bravo! Very interesting again... One thought re Subjectivity/Objectivity; The camera may be Objective but the photographer is Subjective!
Very true! In fact, the objectivity of the camera increases the importance of the subjectivity of the artist-photographer. It's a challenge.
Hi Boryana,
Loved watching your video!
So informative, playful,professional and easy on the eye!
Great job!
Things are starting to make sense to me; eg Impressionism 👏❤️🌺
