      The Kiss by Klimt, please. I love it's sumptutious ambiguity as art, and the interesting personality of Klimt. It's the first and only piece of art I've bought in any form, because the image is so striking. Plus, although it's well known, it might not be so well understood.

    While I commend your effort to analyze Seurat's painting through the lens of his native language, I feel compelled, as a native speaker of French myself, to correct something you have said in this video:
    While _pêcher_ does, in fact, mean "to fish", the word that means "to sin" is _pécher_ (note the different accents on the first "e"). Both words sound somewhat similar (but not identical) and it is not inconceivable that Seurat was making a pun of some sort, but I believe he was simply referring to the expression _aller à la pêche_ (lit., "to go fishing"), which means "to look for something without a specific method or plan" or "to attempt to catch something", which could very well apply to a prostitue trying to "catch" a man.
    That being said, this was a very interesting video, as are all your videos. Keep up the great work!

    My late mom received an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago. She took me there to see this painting (and others) many years ago, and I have an emotional connection with it as a result. I remember that she explained pointillism to me, and I remember my subsequent fascination with the dots. Forever after, an image of this painting immediately comes to my mind when I encounter the word, “pointillism”.

    I recently spent a day at the Chicago Art Institute and at least 20 minutes staring at this amazing work. Of course the thing that surprised me most was the size, this is a MASSIVE canvas and I'm so happy that the Institute makes it so wonderfully accessible. The uniformity of the dots is insane, I cannot imagine how time consuming and exacting this was to create just on the mechanical side alone. I really wondered about the monkey, and hearing your in-depth explanation makes me respect Seurat even more. Thank you!

    Aaaah, It seems that Seurat had a fever of dots, maybe the predecessor of kusama, and decided to place each dot on his canvas with love and dedication. You can imagine that while creating this masterful puntillistic puzzle, he had to regularly wear glasses to check that he was really painting and not just counting the park's pebble paths.

    Pointalism is heart wrenching as an artist. One accidental drop- it's over. I've done quite a few.
    Implying this is all about swingers and prostitutes? Que Seurat?
    A few decades ago, I made a highly detailed pointalism of, very familiar prostitutes.
    Your interpretation adds some level of pride and credence to my re-imagined, reverse Picasso, "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon"

I would have never seen the nurse, I likely dismissed it as a chair. I did not put so much weight on the little monkey. It seems like a normal pet for the day. So all the symbolism is fascinating. The boys on the shore in the workmen's painting remind me of my sons. I believe the artist trusted the majority of the public to really see that for it's own merit.

    To me, it always imparted the facade we show the world vs. what's really going on under the surface. Kinda like how Instagram is today. I was so fascinated by this form of art that it has been my go to comfort doodle style since I was a kid. Having ADHD, doodling always helped me pay attention, so all the notebook papers I turned in always had little orbs that I would sketch together like a clump of bubbles then fill in with stippling using my quad colored pen. When I worked at call centers, I my coworkers would ask for little scenes of beaches and sunsets they could pin to their cubicles. It's a very meditative and soothing process and definitely helps time pass more quickly!

    This comparison between the two waterside painting really help me understand the significance of both. The working-class bathers feel a lot less mannequin-like. many of the figures in the other picture have bolt-straight charm-school-like posture that remind us that all the women are wearing corsetry. Even at rest, they are posing and being seen. Animals meander and run, but every child except the orange-dress girl is right beside a parent, tightly controlled. That posture just isn't familiar today and would seem unnerving, so it's hard to know if it's been much exaggerated from what would have been seen at the time.
    Meanwhile, the young workers swimming have much more relatable body-language. Arguably, every one is slouching or lounging in some way. These guys without their family units around them and it's hard to tell who knows who or if they all know eachother, whereas all the folks in the other painting are neatly parsed out into personal space for themselves and whoever they are with or not. Certainly this is a more relational community, however, with everyone closer together and the furthest out right guy standing in the water with hands around his mouth, potentially calling across the water to some person we can't see accross it or in a boat--someone that he may, or may not know. Many people in both pictures have their eyes out of view in some way, because of hats, or hair, or the way they are turned and facial expressions are pretty blank, so everything is about body language here. I think that has to be intentional, because a lot can be said about it.

    You should have mentioned that Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim and his co-author James Lapine wrote an entire Broadway musical about this painting, called Sunday In The Park With George. (How many OTHER Broadway musicals have been written about a painting? None!) It won The Pulitzer Prize!

    Unfortunately I can’t see this painting withOUT thinking about that movie.

    There is so much meaning going on in that painting once you understand the society the artist lived in!
    No surprise that his wife was from a different "class"! He was obviously able to see the humanity in all the people on both sides of the river!
    Oh, movie reference!? FERRIS BUELER, of course!
    Any chance of doing one of these on a painting by Matisse?

    Your videos are SO good!! Thank you. I didn't know/remember there was a "sister" painting with "the LEFT side of the river". I like how both also look at each other from afar.

    I was only 9 when I saw Ferris Beuler's Day Off in the theater & the scene with this painting actually made me cry. I felt like that girl. Still do.

    I love this can channel so much! I know the research must be forever-taking but it's so hard to wait for new videos. This painting I see often. We take advantage of resident-free days at the Art Institute in Chicago at least twice a month, at least. I always have to visit my favorite Van Gogh before we leave and that requires passing this piece to and from the hallway. Now, I will have to take a closer look at it.

    This painting is cemented in my mind as a vivid memory and after watching this video I have so many questions for my childhood art teacher. 😆
    My (K-8) elementary school art teacher Mr. Pendergast replicated this painting, dot by dot, as a full scale mural on the art classroom wall in the late 90s. He did an amazing job, it was incredible.
    After learning about the multiple, not so hidden, symbols of sex work included in this painting, I have some questions for Mr. Pendergast and the rest of the school and faculty who obviously were oblivious to its meaning. 😄

    I remember in my middle school art class "Seurot painted dots". He was one of the first six artists I learned about. The others were Georgia O'Keefe, Vincent Van Gogh, Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock and Piet Mondrion.

    My Art Queen with the ASMR voice is back! The wait is worth it. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into your segments. You make art so interesting to even the layman. Terrific job of balancing education and humor. I do wonder how long it takes to create a painting between “da dots” and longer intentional strokes. Next time in France, I’ll look for the ladies either walking a monkey or fishing by a stream😉. Wish me luck folks😆👍.
