    Vincent is a beautiful song by don Mcclean. There is a video with Vincents paintings in it. Would love to see their reactions to both song and paintings ;-) Lyrics: Starry, starry night
    Paint your palette blue and gray
    Look out on a summer's day
    With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
    Shadows on the hills
    Sketch the trees and the daffodils
    Catch the breeze and the winter chills
    In colors on the snowy, linen land
    Now, I understand what you tried to say to me
    And how you suffered for your sanity
    And how you tried to set them free
    They would not listen, they did not know how
    Perhaps they'll listen now
    Starry, starry night
    Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
    Swirling clouds in violet haze
    Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
    Colors changing hue
    Morning fields of amber grain
    Weathered faces lined in pain
    Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
    Now, I understand, what you tried to say to me
    How you suffered for your sanity
    How you tried to set them free
    They would not listen, they did not know how
    Perhaps they'll listen now
    For they could not love you
    But still your love was true
    And when no hope was left inside
    On that starry, starry night
    You took your life as lovers often do
    But I could have told you, Vincent
    This world was never meant for one
    As beautiful as you
    Starry, starry night
    Portraits hung in empty halls
    Frameless heads on nameless walls
    With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
    Like the strangers that you've met
    The ragged men in ragged clothes
    The silver thorn of bloody rose
    Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
    Now, I think I know what you tried to say to me
    How you suffered for your sanity
    How you tried to set them free
    They would not listen, they're not listening still
    Perhaps they never will

      The "farmer" who in real life was Grant Woods dentist, and the "daughter" , was Grant Woods sister. The house is in a small town in south east Iowa called Eldon. Grant Wood and his sister are both buried in a northeast Iowa town called Anamosa. Simple unassuming graves. Many of his works were done in that part of the state.

    A song was written about Mona Lisa, By Nat King Cole "Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have named you
    You're so like the lady with the mystic smile
    Is it only 'cause you're lonely they have blamed you?
    For that Mona Lisa strangeness in your smile?
    Do you smile to tempt a lover, Mona Lisa?
    Or is this your way to hide a broken heart?
    Many dreams have been brought to your doorstep
    They just lie there, and they die there
    Are you warm? Are you real, Mona Lisa?
    Or just a cold and lonely, lovely work of art?"

    I'm kind of late but i wanted to add some info regarding the "The Night Watch" by Rembrandt since i studied it in art school!
    The painting eas titled "The Night Watch" not by Rembrandt, but by art critics that came after him. Originally, the painting wasn't set at night and didn't depict a group of soldiers! The color of the sky darknend through time, making the blue sky appear black. And the group of people aren't soldiers going to war; they're going to a parade! Most likely they're about to make way into the parade, guided by Captain Coq (the guy in front dressed in black). Also, Rembrandt received a lot of hate for this painting, because 1)he didn't depict everyone who was posing/ didn't depict everyone realistically, 2) he put a self portrait of himself as a soldier!

    one suggestion for a video different from the usual, would be to watch the highlights of david letterman's last show and conan obrien telling people to tune off of his show and watch david letterman, they both should be available on youtube. its something both touching and funny. i am not sure how well english humour translates, but at least the touching sentiment will show a lot, especially if you explain who david letterman and conan obrien are. also conan's episode of hot ones is currently been the #1 trending for over a day here, so now would be a good time to check out both of them a little!

    some comments:
    nighthawks (it means people who are up, active at night)
    chicago, illinois (il-i-noy), us(a), that's like saying (random indian city), asia or munich, europe, the landmass is a big place, and the landmass or even continent is not the country (:
    and it's from 1930 so at the start of the great depression, so most people were very badly affected by it, especially poor and rich people... middle class didn't do too bad I don't think but they were affected too... so that's why they look so sad, and the models were the painter's sister and their family's dentist
    I agree with you not I am agree with you
    the museum of modern art is usually called the MoMA
    the persistence of memory
    it's by Salvador Dalí (he was Spanish) and the style is called surrealism because it's real stuff but also different than what we know, and it's not that deep... according to Dalí, who used what he called the “paranoiac critical method” whereby he deliberately induced hallucinations to access his subconscious (I guess he didn't know about meditation or couldn't do it), the clocks were inspired by visions he had after eating Camembert cheese, and he was a master of surrealism and looked like it too, and I don't know about a scientist's theory, but he was an artist in many different ways
    artwork (or work of art, as you've said later) not art work, even though that technically is correct too
    mount fuji not fuji mountain and it's the highest/tallest in japan and 35th in the world, and it hasn't erupted since 1707 (over 300 years) but has shown volcanic activity in the 60s so it's being monitored around the clock
    the night watch (because they were keeping guard, watching the property at night)
    Rembrandt van Rijn but mostly known as Rembrandt, and fun fact, he was stereoblind like me (couldn't see in 3D), and I agree with them on the colours, the shininess too, he had a wonderful talent
    the painter of The Scream is Edvard (the Norwegian version of Edward) Munch not Edmund (which in english would be more like Edmond), and that's not blood, but has been suggested that the dramatic red-coloured sky was inspired by a volcanic sunset seen by Munch after the Krakatau eruption in 1883 and by a sighting of stratospheric nacreous clouds (which means in the stratosphere layer of the sky and like nacre, what people call pearly), and also that it is part of the artist's expression of a scream from nature. It stemmed from a panic attack that Munch suffered in 1892, which he recounted artistically in a sketch from that year that he called Despair.
    girl with a pearl earring means a girl, with a pearl earring, not a girl who wears pearl earrings, that would be a girl who wears pearl earrings or a pearl earring-wearing girl or a girl who wears pearl earrings, and for all we know, she only wore one for the painting
    and he might've used a girl as a model but it's not meant to represent a specific person, such as the mona lisa, for example, even though the relatively recent movie about it portrays a "real" (real in the movie) girl as his model
    the last supper
    I see what she means but the depictions of people is too medieval (as it is) and one of the great things about paintings is that you don't need a lot of resources!
    "we all know that the story of Jesus is written in the Bible" oh, you sweet innocent man, no... no, it's not... bits and pieces remain but it was changed countless times by whoever was in power at the time (and each version is named after the person too!) or monks who didn't translate it correctly, and it's been edited countless times overall to control people... there's still bits and pieces of the truth left but it also has too many lies and fearmongering and more...
    starry night
    that bedroom by van gogh (15:12) reminds me of this 6th grade art class homework I had to do and it was my room in this style because he was one of my favs at the time and still like him and relate to him in some ways
    I housesitted out in the country in a town by the US border a few years ago and when I looked up at night and saw stars, so many stars... I hadn't seen stars since I was 6 at that point so 3 decades! Hope I get the chance to see them every day again!
    the mona lisa (not monalisa painting)
    da vinci is pronounced da vin-chi (like chai without the a) not da vinsi, and he was a scientist and inventor and more too!
    and I agree with the thief, enough with the white westerners stealing everything, keep it in italy!
    thank you again for this and loved hearing their comments and takes on these, and what they understand from them! Please show them more places in the world and art, not just visual either!
    have a great weekend all!
