This is one of those curious works of art that, when I first look at it I think, "Meh. It's okay, I guess." Then I look at it some more, and begin to see detail, color and composition, and by the end of the video I'm thinking, "You know, that's a pretty damned nice painting!"
@@Mussi93 Yep that's why when I go to a museum I take time to look at each piece of art because I know there's more going on than meets the initial eye.
Beautiful painting... love watercolors, and recently purchased a couple vintage paintings from the 1940's and 1950's for decent prices. Original art for less than mass produced "generic" art in stores! TIP... go to an estate sale! 😉
I love this painting so much. I'm only at 1:23 in this video so don't know the value yet, but this scene just makes me happy for some reason. I hope I don't piss anyone off when I say that is sort of reminds me of a studio Ghibli scene.
I never think of any one’s skin color when I look at art. Interesting. If I like it I like it. Who cares what color, age ,religion , gender or whatever the artist truly is!
Well in modern art the viewer is often invited to interpret the work a lot more and place it in context, so the life of the artist can matter quite a bit more.
That's kind of the definition of privilege though. You get to feel like you're not prejudiced, but the reality is this woman's art may not still exist if she hadn't (initially) hidden her identity. It's important partly because of the historical context.
The people of France do not have any prejudice concerning racial identity... There has been several African American ex patriot individuals who are highly regarded in France... For example, the"tomb of the unknown soldier" was the creation of a hero of WWI in France... Thanks you,Mr E Bullard...🕊️
No there was less racism in Europe COMPARED to the extreme systemic racism of the USA because of its history of chattle slavery. But europe at the time in the streets was racist by contemporary standards.
Not to be insensitive, If we’re not looking at skin color, if we are just looking at the art itself, it really does not stand out as exceptional. It’s a feel good story, but it’s not groundbreaking talent in any respect.
It's fine to not like a particular piece of art. But to assume that it's only getting praise because she's black after she had to pretend to be white to have her art shown is hilarious. People in her time thought her art was wonderful when they thought she was white.
I've seen quite a few major works of art up close and I can tell this artist is a person of substance in the art world....just looking through my computer monitor. Don't give a lick about the racial part of the story, irrelevant.
Beautiful painting. Wonderful story. Very classy guys.
Thanks for bringing African American female artist to light. Wonderful painting!!
What a gorgeous watercolor. What a great talent she was.
What a powerful and heartfelt story. ❤️

And think...." I wouldn't mind finding a prominent spot for it. The more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes
I feel like that's a thing with a lot of paintings. Going from "meh" to "actually...".

At first glance it looks so simple but when you study it more you begin to see the true beauty in it. That's what I love about art.
Jackson Pollock's work is "meh" and you can't buy one for under ten million dollars. Art is art is art
❤ what alovely painting and story to go with it ! ❤
I've seen dozens of these segments, and this one is especially well done.

Quite possibly my favorite watercolor I've ever seen on AR.

Airy, bright, cheerful. Wall candy!

This artist was a strong woman , didn't stop painting, I wish I had met her.

Exactly, for that time it has to be mentioned I guess, but I don't like the additional 'attention' to the fact itself from an artist point of view
You would likely understand if you were in one of the persecuted minorities.
I'm just waiting for George Stobbart to walk out from the left side of the painting and a new Broken Sword adventure to begin.
i found that picture online but the one online has 2 people standing just to the left, on this watercolor there isn't anyone standing to the left
Wonderful, I Like It Too!!! (c=
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A very educational 4:44
i was wondering if those frames could be showned at parks?
Her ability to p or tray light should also be mentioned.

How sad this is. Thankfully things have improved since then.
Most likely wrote the value on there for the purposes of both insurance and customs.

"no we're not gonna sell it."
no duh, bro. but you brought it here for a reason. the show is based on finding the price of antiques.
Does anybody know anything about a watercolor painter named tresti
The Paris of that day is long gone re racism

That looks like the guy that does car stuff with jaleno
The United States was that screwed up in the 1970s that she couldn't even turn in her artwork. What a joke.
The way y’all are changing your opinions based on skin color 🤡
🤔🤔🤔

Art is not exact science. The story matters. It is part of American Art History if you like it or not.
It's fine to not like a particular piece of art. But to assume that it's only getting praise because she's black after she had to pretend to be white to have her art shown is hilarious. People in her time thought her art was wonderful when they thought she was white.
Not groundbreaking talent in any respect. Lol. What do you know about art?

I ll give ya $15 bucks
