      It’s a shame that it’s so hard to see her actual paintings too because most are in private collections. I was lucky I got to because there was a Surrealist Women exhibition where I live and there were 3 of hers there. I was very excited just to see those

I'm no art scholar and this channel is one of the first things showing me how wonderful the world of art is and thanks to you I'm now expanding my knowledge and my ability to empathize with people and things outside of my circle. For that I'm greatly thankful 😌 May I ask, will you ever consider making a video about Zdzisław Beksiński? I bet you've been asked about it plenty of times but I'd appreciate if you could answer! Thank you very much for what you're doing and I hope to see more of you in the future ❤️

    Great video- as always! I first became aware of Varo years ago when I read the novel 'The Crying of Lot 49' - there's a scene where the main character is fascinated by "Embroidering the Earth's mantle" when she sees it in a gallery. I only found later that she was a real artist and not a fictional character :)

    There are a couple of Mexican artists that you can create content about, spectacular in their works, they're José María Velasco and Dr Atl (Gerardo Murillo) the former making an impressive historical record of the bygone days of central Mexico and the later creating images of landscapes with an ancient and strong character slighlty akin of German expressionism.
