The finest, most imaginative movies about arts I ever seen.
Mr Waldemar creates art out of art. I am enchanted. 💖💖
Waldemar killing the game as usual.. we need more teachers in schools like this for both arts sciences math and permaculture
I wish I didn't have to scroll and scroll and scroll through all the Perspective videos to find a Waldemar I might have missed. I'm not even an art person, yet I love, and must watch, all things Waldemar.
I feel this way too. I don't always agree with him but I find him fascinating. Sometimes he is hilarious like his imitation of Miss McMurphy.
Just click on the magnifying 🔍 glass and type his name, all his videos will come up.
Me too，he is 👍
@@bernardgreenwald6959 I thought he was pretty funny in the Grant Wood one with his antics with the water; he showed off his legs a bit🙂
@@melly1432 I thought his greatest drollery was when he posed as Manet's Olympia. Or was it Fragonnards Miss O'Reilly?
Since binging on Waldemar, I feel as though I’ve taken several semesters of Art appreciation. So interesting. I’ve never learned so much history, symbology, psychology, science and color. Hail the real master Waldemar! All of your videos are so relatable with sprinkles of humor. I’ve added Waldemar to my list of people I’d most like to have dinner with. Who else would find this man fascinating to know? Thank You Sir!
I was one of those people that never understood painting as a art. I would often get annoyed by people praising it thinking that they are pretentious. Then I discovered Waldemar and his series. I understand now and appreciate it. Thank you sir for educating me with such style and simplicity.
I can listen to Waldemar all day long and he could read me bedtime stories, I love the way he speaks.
The best impression created during this series, for me, was made by the bright, concise writing and the imaginative, well-annunciated narrative of the presenter. This series has brought me recurring joy while erasing a portion of my massive ignorance.
In the midst of my tears for Monet...grieving that, just as his own body had slammed the curse of silence upon Beethoven, so had Monet been robbed of his precious artist's SIGHT.
BUT...
Awakened by Waldemar's peerless insight into the very SOUL of Art, I realized that in reality, the Curse was actually a kind of Gift...for BOTH of those massive Geniuses.
And I SMILED.
After Waldemar, I can't watch any other art documentary...thank you for these lovely series!
After Waldemar, I can't watch any other art documentary without falling asleep!
11:16 I love the response: "It's complicated."
Waldemar, a name to remember in the history of art. Unique and fabulously entertaining. Thanks for such a production.
I love Waldemar, he is amazing! Love his every documentary.
I start the documentary "blind", and inside of me ALL of my internal voices go like: I can watch it even it's not Waldermar, I can watch it even if it's not Waldemar... Then YAY Waldemar!!
I am just in awe of your craft - your documentarys are absolutely stunning! I feel blessed to have the opportunity to watch all your work. GREAT GREAT GREAT!
Thank You to all who are involved in producing and presenting these delightful documentaries. Special thanks to Waldemar Janusczak for his witty and informative commentary. It is so much more engaging than some of the other rather dry and academic presentations I have seen on RUclips.
My one suggestion for improvement would be to have a list of all the artists and artworks discussed that includes the location of the works discussed. Such a list would be handy for further study and for planning museum visits. But perhaps that is me being lazy and asking someone else to do something I could do for myself if I put my mind to it. But that would be handy...
Waldemar makes art sing, makes me sing! Nobody can take his place, he makes the series what it is - pure art!
I totally agree with you , he is the greatest
Art school grad from 80's and I have seen most of these paintings Waldemar is awesome I have learned so much !
I followed the arguments about his final style: attempts at modern art or cataracts. I always sided with cataracts but Waldemar’ explanation is wonderful.
Congratulations for so many fresh un-romanced insights into impressionist paintings; on the way you strip away all the elitism that has accumulated in the field of art history and art appreciation. Please continue to do us the honour of many more reveals like these.
A tour de force. The art form himself, Waldemar has exhibited a series brilliantly created and worked at layer upon layer. The scripts were just unreal and the filming, and editing a joy to see. These are the finest art films I have ever seen. Paul Scott. New Zealand
Totally agree.
There is also a short series, far to short , series on art appreciation by Hannah Gadsby. Called the Renaissance woman.
Brilliant delivery; Wonderful Waldemar. EDUCATION at it's BEST :). I think the UK Education Dept should seriously consider showing this in ALL UK SCHOOLS as part of the Art syllabus to inspire all secondary school kids. Simply wonderful.
I am so thankful for this documentary on Seurat. I have given his work very little consideration. The use of dots I found interesting, but with more insight, now I view it as genius. My eyes have been opened. I want to learn more about Seurat. Thank you for all your hard work Waldemar. You do all the research, traveling, interviewing and filming, and I sit comfortably in my home watching your videos and being enriched, enlightened and inspired. Thank you so very much.
This series really opened my eyes to the significance and beauty of impressionism. Waldamar is my art History hero. Thank you
why do you need heroes?
have you wondered about that?
@@LEARSIKCIGAM no I have never wondered about heros or heroines just they exist as beings that give insights and are saviors from the mundane, have you ever wondered about that?
@@timrutter7095 so your life is mundane and it needs
“saviors”? interesting
@@LEARSIKCIGAM no not really but yours must be if all you do is write inane comments on RUclips
@@timrutter7095 normies are always calling things insane, it makes them feel safe
The present is just as precious as the past…what a totally underrated statement!!!! Brilliantly put, sir!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! Another amazing video about artists. He did a great job in showing us how hard it was for Monet to see in his old age. Yet, the man churned out such amazing paintings.
All the wonderful things said below + a super intro! LOVE every single presentation by Waldamar.
Oh my, I love Waldemar's work! Stunning, as a painter everything he does is Thrilling, Inspiring and Illuminating! Thankyou!
3/17/2021 USA Grandpa Bill: Grandma and I love Waldermar. His name alone is enough to move us to watch.
I love your series ❤️ Thank you for your amazing work, you are my favourite teacher of history of art
thank you
I currently cannot afford to go to these gorgeous places. I appreciate the eye of an artist fully integrated into this masterpieces, plural yes! Of the surroundings even today. I can still feel the very old energy.
One of the pluses about living in Chicago for the last 68 years (besides my family and friends) has been the ability to get off the Adams street El station and walk one block to the Art Institute. Monet's hay stacks, Seurat's Isle of La Grande Jatte! Hopefully someday soon, I and everybody else will be able to wander those halls again without the fear of catching some dreadful disease. Thanks for posting.
Pat, ion Chicago
I have visited Chicago several times and always look forward to the Art Institute. You are lucky to be so close!
I've been lucky enough to visit the museum in Chicago a couple of times. It's a magnificent place. The first time I was there, I'd seem many, many photos of Isle de La Grande Jatte, and the size of it was shocking for me! Having printed photographs, or images on screens of any art work is, of course, much better than not, but seeing them in situo is a revelation! The same is true of the Diego Rivera murals at the Detroit Institute of Art, which is immense and so powerful. For anyone thinking about going to visit the museum in Chicago, seeing the opposite effect in the Thorne Rooms can be just as revelatory. Anyway, I hope to make it back to Chicago, et al., to wander the rooms, and drink in the art.
Waldemar also makes art sing for me..With each viewing I see something new. I love the entire Perspective series. Thank you so much.
I've been inspired to paint my standing fan blades now like a color wheel. Fabulous.
I play these Perspective art series on repeat, until they shred! Waldemar is king!
Waldemar never fails to brighten my mood. I'm sure I must account for a thousands views on this one.
YOUR SERIES ARE FANTASTIC ALL OF THEM, THANKS, HOPE TO SEE MORE...
Yess i can't get enough
completely marvellous .
thank you.
Wonderfull series - wonderfull narrative of art history and the emotional power of color of lines with so many interesting and amazing observations. I love the quote of Seurat: “ Lets go and get drink on light” 💙💜💚❤️💙💛🧡🦋
Seurat : It is as much in the shadows as it is in the highights ! So delightful !
Absolutely mesmerizing! Impressionism will NEVER end!
I moved to NYC in 1970 to work as a flight attendant. Overwhelmed by the concrete everywhere. I was finally able to get out and about. I was only 20. I went to the Frick House and walked into the room with Monet's Water lilies around me. I just fell into it. Changed my life.
Another fresh, insightful episode. Once having had Waldy for art appreciation, one can never go back to those dry, insipid commentaries. Sigh, I hope there are more to come. I do hope there has been a way of monetizing your efforts. So valuable they are. Thank you.
Waldemar is exactly what art is about; know the history behind it and interpret it your own way. Outstanding.
I love impressionism's simplicity its joyous caricature of daily life around it makes it a really solid movement.
I'm in lockdown with Covid, here in UK. JUst occurred to me, I'd love to go and view an art gallery like this
I found the presention of this film both playful and engaging, so it's a pretty good second I guess. 🙃
I am wishing more Waldemar all around. Please make more videos , Sir!
No matter what society says, i love Van Gogh and i love Paul Cezanne. All that they ever wanted, was to be loved. Nothing sadder than that. Their paintings, make me fall in love with art. ♥
Thank you for such wonderful, details programs about art through the ages!! During the last five years of her life, my mother was researching an American female artist Mary Jett Franklin, who lived in Paris from 1889 until 1922, studying with such greats as Louis Dechamps, Jean Geoffrey, Raphael Collin, Henri Morriset, and Caro del Vley. The French art critic Clement Morro said of her canvasses at the Salon of the Orientalists, "I see in them a great deal of daring, boldness, movement, color and light. It is indisputable that the talent of this artist proceeds with greatest sincerity, and also great freshness of vision, to which invaluable qualities are added a fine technique and a fracture personnel." Have you seen her paintings in Europe? We are trying to do a biography of this local artist. Thank you!
GREAT HISTORY! GREAT VIDEO!
Fabulous series! Thank you.
Brilliant series, of course. On a level so far above most art history docs. So I'm going to complain a little:
I wish there were more mention of Japanese prints and their influence on the Impressionists. I've heard they were important to the movement as a whole, not just to Van Gogh. But then again, I'm an obsessive fan of 19th century ukiyo-e prints.
Yes, he pulled back a bit on Van Gogh....
You’re right Yohei! I heard from a College Professor the Japanese would use excess ukyio-e prints for
packing material for goods and ware sent from Japan to France (etc.) and Exotica loving Artists such as Van Gogh would flatten them out and display them.
I visited the Van Gogh Museum in Holland and there was a room of Van Gogh’s collection of them..
So very good! Thank you.
love when Waldemart poses imitating paintings
Brilliant intro sequence. killer!
Spotted Dr James Fox walking through the Van Gogh museum !
I'm binge-watching this fantastic series.
Bravo Waldemar!
14:03 to play "Faithfull love" arias from Prodana nevesta in part connected with Chicago (where strong Czech community lived and lives) is such a nice little touch (or coincidence) 🙂
my wife and i spent an evening in the Lapin Agile drinking wine and singing bawdy french songs. There was a Bachelorette party there that was especially rowdy.
This series is an ending with endless new beginnings! Thank you for bringing it to us mortals.
Thank you Sir for being. You have opened our eyes like no one else.
Cracking series by masterful critic and presenter.
I love all your videos! Thanks for making them!!
Waldemar, thank You very much!! That's a great work you've done ! Thank you again!!!
Great series. Inspiring to see new insights, rather than the usual limited commentary on this movement. Looking forward to the next videos.
Beautiful Series!💙🥂
"My wish is to stay always like this, living quietly in a corner of nature." - Claude Monet
Same....
He is such an incredibly gifted lecturer, a raconteur. most of the material I knew but he added different twists, gave me more interesting information, and his accent is such a delight
These documentary shows brought me much joy in the days of covid isolation and lonliness.many thanks.
I wonder how the narrator became so knowledgeable. The last grand painting of Monet sealed it for me: it was beyond one's wildest imagination to be at the center of these swirling waters and sun dappled atmosphere. Just amazing. And does Mr Waldamar do art? I wonder? In all events, thank you.
In another video, he said he was a cartoonist. I'm sorry I don't remember which one, but I think it was about American artists.
Its wonderful seeing these shots of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, one of the greatest art schools in the history of art
One of the greatest mountains of pomposity!
Monet’s final work is sublime and brilliantly observed by Waldemar.
Perspective upon perspective,
Revealing Art histories from their eclipse.
From Glorious Renaissance to mighty Baroque,
Unflinching Impressionists to renegade Cubists,
We may sit round the clock,
To stare like upon the mysteries,
That seem to be understood
And same time elusive at the root...
Though we scratch our heads and sigh,
The interest remains all time high.
- " Perspective Upon Perspective." -Tanjang
Nice one!
Really enjoyed this show and the host too. Love the Intro music and video. Sick as fun
Great series !!!! I wish you had been my art history teacher when I was in art school many years ago. I have a new appreciation for art made before the 20th century now.
That title tune really gets under your skin after a while...I need to find more of his vids. Trying to watch different presenters is difficult now. They really combine style and wit with a complete knowledge of the subjects presented..
What is the name of that singing group for the opening? Who are they? Where can I find more?
@@dixonhill7526 the name of the band is ''Hold Your Horses''.
The song is called ''70 million''..2011.
The legacy of Van Gogh has been cleaned up for mass appeal. I'm pleased to see you describe him accurately. He surely knew he was going insane from syphilis, time was limited and he worked furiously to complete what he could. He then ended his life when his work possibilities did.
What a fantastic series this has been! Thank you!
Wonderful, as a photographer I enjoyed the colors and how they manipulated them
"One of those grim, urban collisions you get in a modern city, joyless and lonely..." Oh dear...I know them well.
My second viewing and it still takes my breath away and how can these artists have created such beauty. Al of them. Even glum Sauret.
Thanks Waldemar for the series. It makes living through Covid bearable!
Thank you for posting this video I appreciate it very much. I love viewing all this beautiful art. How lovely. I love art.
Yes 👍 documentary keeps me glued to 👂 the documentary 👂 with apt intention 🙏
The best films on art...keep them coming!!
Living with one eye seeing I can see you guys wish to see
Masterful and simultaneously thrilling.
"Apparently, the local peasants - who did not like Monet or modern art - would demolish their haystacks early, on purpose, just to annoy him."
Upon hearing that, I could only think of a distressed Monet starting to paint a haystack to then be rudely and abruptly interupted by a bunch of peasants demolishing it.
You could almost imagine him going: "Hey, I was going to paint that!"
i love this chanel so much thank you!
Wonderful exposition by Waldemar, just a real insight into the art of that period. In fact, I feel after he shows us the Waterlilies (which I’ve seen, thank God, in Paris) which are really expressionistic. Brilliant, thrilling, magical. Thank you for this video!
I think this channel is invaluable to art students! I took art history as a subject in college and struggled to connect the dots. Now it all makes sense!
Another magnificent video from Waldemar!
your dedication to art is delicious, I learn a lot from your videos, thank you very much
Brilliant, Stunning, thought provoking video. Thank you
To stand in there with that great work by Monet, wow.
I liked everything about this series. Informative and entertaining.
Gracias ! Aprendi mucho sobre seurat
Hey, I love your videos. So funny when you strike a pose like in the painting. Thanks! 🙏
Another outstanding series on Impressionism by a Brit. I respect them all.
Wonderful!
Thank you. Waldemar has made so much important history re the perspective of Impressionism clear that was not. Could be easily part of Creative Commons cultural heritage resources list.
Superb, thank you.
