I love this. A lot of people in the art world are steeped in art speak and can't effectively communicate to a general audience but she did a very good job.
The world needs people who are enthusiastic about art, when that person is also very knowledgeable it’s a double win. I would love to sit and have a coffee or six with Ms Umland. But you know that any exhibition that starts with an Arnold Newman image is going to be exceptional.
I agree with all. What a pleasure to listen to Anne Umland discuss art. Here, she provides an educated, honest and engaged response to Ernst - a way in. Thank you!!!! (And yes great arms too.)
As an artist who came of age visiting MoMA by biking in to catch the subway in Queens from out on the island, who was fascinated by Max & his pals & their works, I really enjoyed Anne's enthusiastic virtual tour of this exhibit ! I look forward to watching the rest of these video tours while I paint...
Extraordinarily engaging presentation by Anne Umland. Such a wealth of knowledge she has. And as Love DicedTomatoes earlier said, a great communicator.
So was that Peggy - the other figure in the painting of Napoleon, exiled, I wonder? A tricky relationship, from what I read about it. Wonderful tour, thanks! Amazing man! So inventive! Rumour has it, he invented dripping paint onto canvas on the floor from a tin can filled with paint he swung from string - and Pollock saw him doing it. Loved the way he uses frottage! I’m going to give that a go.
I got the female character from the Napoleon In The Wilderness piece tattooed on my forearm when I was 18 years old (12 years ago), after I saw it in an art book in visual arts class when I was in 9th grade. I was so in awe by this paintings beauty, and the mystery hidden within the countless different elements throughout the piece, it stuck with me for years as my favourite painting, and I was, and still am, as far from a fine arts connoisseur as one could get. I had no idea what the picture was meant to represent or why, or had any clue as to its background, but that was kind of half of what I appreciated so much about it, it was just a perfect scene of pure beauty and emotion. The mystery of the unknown was thrilling to me, and I had decided to leave it's story undiscovered to me, it didn't matter. 12 years on, I finally decided to seek out its back story, and came across this video. I'm glad I did, and I'm also glad she didn't give a great deal of backstory away, just a simple sentence eloquently spoken as such it would make a fitting caption to accompany the painting on its display. I must say though I'm very intrigued by what she said about how Ernst tied his feelings of exile to that of which Napoleon himself must have experienced. Its quite the ambiguous connection to make. Just goes to show that the man was very special with a brilliant mond
Decalomania is actually decalcomania, originally used to transfer designs from paper to glass or porcelain, and here Max has reversed it to transfer from glass to canvas.
He seems like a real hufflepuff kind of guy. Always "finding" stuff. But lovely explanation by the curator and I loved how she got passionate and happy at sudden moments especially when describing her favourite pieces!!! Well done!
I only watched this because I was going to make some smart arse comment about museums and art, but she won me over, she's a straight shooter and doesn't do the art speak jingo.
Actually, Tempel is quite famous among astronomers, thanks to his discovery of 21 comets, among them 9P/Tempel, 10P/Tempel, and 55P/Tempel-Tuttle, the latter of which is the progenitor of the famous Leonid Meteor Shower. Tempel also discovered five asteroids.
Max Ernst | HOW TO SEE the artist with MoMA curator Anne Umland 1657pm 22.12.21 i enjoy this woman's enjoyment of max ernst. she is not phased by the incessant b.s spouted in the world which champions crazy art... the dada school was certainly of it's time and "crazy" - there is no other description to be heaped upon it which would suffice... it isn't accessible so cannot be spat upon!.. it can only be imbibed by a few in our present age. which is all to the good. refer to inaccessibility. and although pretty crazy... these pieces shown are weirdly considered points of reference. though that could be the studious nature of the curator's aura infecting his, ernst's oeuvre. but of course - i am not going to argue with the lady who works out.... who i am sure must have been referenced, predictively speaking, in the dada world somewhere.
What seems to be described here resembles the mechanisms of an inside joke. You either have the information needed to get the joke, or you do not understand it. For forty years I imagined I had a handle on fine art. Now I wonder if anyone really does. J. Burke said fine art is a second hand interpretation made third hand by the viewer. Picasso allegedly said the last true artist was the caveman. Because Art meant something to him, it was a seamless part of his existence and not Art for Art's sake. I can't imagine a world without it, but I just don't why.
She's lovely. I've seen loads of the Surrealists' doodles, collages, dioramas, etc in my years at the Met. It strikes me how "old" it all looks now. I think the movement literally painted themselves into a corner. Thank the gods they rejected the young Francis Bacon as being "insufficiently surreal" I'm with him when he said "Fantasy doesn't interest me, reality interests me" Bring on the Francis Bacon, Anne.
Lolll I was surprised with this woman’s muscularity! She seems to be in her late 50’s yet she looks awesome,very lean, very defined muscularity.. she definitely looks like she’s been active all of her life....
I want to know Max Ernst & other outstanding artists thru' my vision & not thru' the subjective interpretive versions of others. Artists don't suffer to provide livelihoods for profit-mongering "explainers" and others of lesser intelligence.

How many times does she hit the gym? Cuz those arms are goals
I love this. A lot of people in the art world are steeped in art speak and can't effectively communicate to a general audience but she did a very good job.
I appreciate how much work you’ve put into your biceps 💪🏽
I'm in love with her muscular arms.
And her art knowledge.
Amazing to sit in south of france and be toured by the curator around some of this Earnest exhibition. Big thanks Anne & MOMA
Anne Umland is such a wonderful speaker, endlessly interesting and knowledgeable - would love to go through every exhibition with her.
I could listen to Anne Umland talk about paintings all day long

A wonderful exhibition, Thank you Ms. Umland, for the tour.
Such a pleasure - Anne Umland is brilliant and enthusiastic - thank you for sharing.
I agree with all. What a pleasure to listen to Anne Umland discuss art. Here, she provides an educated, honest and engaged response to Ernst - a way in. Thank you!!!! (And yes great arms too.)
Wow! I can't focus on the art because this woman is 67 years old and gorgeous. She must hit the dumbbells hard.

I look forward to watching the rest of these video tours while I paint...
Thank you Anne Umland for the tours, your energy and enthusiasm are a plus and your approachable style is precious ("blah, blah..." lol) ❤️
Fascinating commentary by the always delightful Anne Umland. Cheers!
A tour of an Ernst exhibition AND the gun show! Great job. Ernst is one of my favorites.
Her arms are distractingly great! Damn, I need to get it together.
Love how Anne Umland makes the complexity so simple
Love Max Ernst. Love his Eye of Silence.
The flow of her speech is bright. Super fine.
Someone works out 💪🏻
Extraordinarily engaging presentation by Anne Umland. Such a wealth of knowledge she has. And as Love DicedTomatoes earlier said, a great communicator.
Brilliant vivacious discussion. I love her energy and enthusiasm.
Anne Umland really opened that up to me. Thank you.
I really REALLY like these videos Anne Umland does for MOMA! Thank you for putting them up because I can't visit you.
AHHH i came here looking for how he achived his textures this was awesome thank you!
Refreshingly delivered without showing off like some pretentious “experts “
Simply the best docent in my experience, brava Anne

I would have liked seeing more of Ernst's paintings.
Really cool explanation and description of Max Ernst - Thank you!
Wow, the background of the “Napoleon in Exile” piece reminds me so much of that of a Dali painting. Thanks for the tour!
Bob Pedersen It looks more like a Gustave Moreau painting.

thank you! I as artist found a lot of inspirations for myself during this virtual exhibition
Decalomania is actually decalcomania, originally used to transfer designs from paper to glass or porcelain, and here Max has reversed it to transfer from glass to canvas.
The drawings with the rubbings are fantastic!
He seems like a real hufflepuff kind of guy. Always "finding" stuff. But lovely explanation by the curator and I loved how she got passionate and happy at sudden moments especially when describing her favourite pieces!!! Well done!
Came for the arms. Stayed for the insightful commentary on the art.
Well done, hon. A truly balanced presentation.
Your videos are very helpful and insightful
Anne looks like a badass rock climber. a gorgeous one.
Wonderful presentation.
It's so interesting! Thank you very much
If I had to arm wrestle her I wouldn't put money on myself. Nice enthusiastic introduction to the work.
A thousand facts per second punctuated by caveats of respectul simplification for time constraints. Is this the most perfect thing ever?
I love her attitude
I only watched this because I was going to make some smart arse comment about museums and art, but she won me over, she's a straight shooter and doesn't do the art speak jingo.
That’s some Dadaism right there
Thank you so much
This lady..I adore her.
any digital copy of the book Maximiliana ? how can one take a look at it without going to the museum?
amazing speaker
Genious Absolute
The Honestest Surreal ever
I wish I'd been able to get to the exhibition. I love Ernts' stuff.
This woman ❤❤❤

Napoleon in Exile - amazing
Anne has pretty good style in all of these videos
Clicked for those 💪🏼
Muito bom 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you.
Can someone tell me where it talks about the Dime in the sky 1921 oil on canvas
If you're not doing dumbbell curls while watching this, do you even like art?
This is a powerful woman with good style
La bicicleta graminea.
Max Ernst es genial.

Most ripped curator 💪
informative tour
Welcome to the gun show!
The art is so-so but her arms are no joke!
Very well said
I like her very down to earth not a art snob at all.
The asteroid Maximiliana, discovered by Tempel, was renamed Cybele, after the Phrygian goddess of the Earth.
you know why I'm here
Same reason I revisit this every couple of months
what a bicep..
Like someone who knows that feels reality... Make tour concept feeling things, humans, etc.

Color use to set off shapes. Light

😂 I knew 1 second in that her muscly arms would be the main topic of comments LMAO Yep me, too, staring at the arms and not hearing the words
Sometime collectors act up, and curators got to bring the beat down
Nice.
💓anne💝
Anne is pretty beautiful. I mean, obviously loves arts AND fitness?
This lady is buff
She has arms that men would be jealous of! 😱😱😱
she has some mick jagger quality
What a hoot.
grand peintre !!!!!!!!
I love her, she looks like my grandmothers pekinese.
Lolll I was surprised with this woman’s muscularity! She seems to be in her late 50’s yet she looks awesome,very lean, very defined muscularity.. she definitely looks like she’s been active all of her life....
How come?
Some Comments remind me that the animal is lurking just under our clothes.

Wolfgang Beltracchi said Ernst was one of the easiest to forge.

I wonder how history would have been different if he got rejected from art school 👀
The gun show
What an imaginary person🤔how did he come about with all these things? Inventive intuition? I find hard to connect with him.
Good art does not need to be explained.
modern art is such a scam
