Nerdwriter1 Speaking of impressionism, I've always been utterly perplexed by Ludwig Meidner's Apocalyptic Landscapes. I saw one at the Norton Simon Museum and it has held my memory for many years. That or Surrealism could be fun to analyze.
DAVID FOSFORD Well I get that all of the painted bits are like the real world, and the canvas bare looks totally strange, but this dudes comment struck a nicer chord with me. The original has grown on me though.
I Always enjoy these videos especially as someone who has little to no knowledge of art history. Would love to see some more videos on your favourite directors / films!
yeah! So they main part that stood out to me was the perspective of the painting. The image of naked women bathing is a really common scene in art (1:55). However this painting shows the perspective of the women instead of the "viewer." f you see it from the perspective of the man who's standing on the opposite side of the river, then yes, it is an erotic scene of naked women bathing. (5:43) but since we're seeing it from the point of view of the women, their own bodies aren't as sexualised and the man's gaze seems intrusive.
i was going to comment on the beautiful way cezanne bridges the impressionist style before him and the abstraction that he helped usher in but you totally already covered that in your tumblr post so i'll just say that as someone studying art currently, i also have trouble with abstract art, and your tip on starting with cezanne is duly noted! i really enjoyed this video! haven't been able to find art theory videos quite as interesting as this til now. x
Cezanne's work, more than this particular painting, is magnificent in many ways, Cezanne was the typical ignored genius, only because at that time he was alive, he was portraying the world in a different form. He was a truly innovator, the way I used the colors to express three dimensional space represented in two dimensional paint, the way he used to portrait himself on the paintings ... Cezanne was beyond fantastic. Thanks for this video btw, it's really good content!
The ability to explain such complex art theory and appreciation in such an accessible way is a real gift you have. The darkening/brightening of certain elements within the painting as you explain them is particularly elegant and powerful. I have never really been interested in deep-dive art appreciation until your series. You are making me second guess and revisit all the art I have ever seen, and thats a good thing. Thank you and please don't stop these videos! If you are taking requests, I feel that "The Starry Night" or "Birth of Venus" would be most epic. Cheers!
I've seen this painting a million times before and I always pushed it off to the side. After watching this video you've brought a new perspective to the piece that makes it into something absolutely wonderful.
I LOVE these art review videos so much! They’re so different from everything else on RUclips today. You can really appreciate the time and careful, meticulous study that went into each one. Thank you!! They make my little artist heart swell with satisfaction 😊 I personally am a huge fan of the Pre-Raphealites; maybe a video about the movement in general? Or one about my two favorite painters, John William Waterhouse or Dante Gabriel Rossetti? Maybe talk about Waterhouse’s mystery model who took over his paintings after she was introduced (See Hylas and the nymphs, or La Belle Dam Sans Merci)? Or a closer look at any of his paintings? Or Rossetti’s? You could discuss his really singular use of intense colors, like Daydream or Prosperpine. That deep green he often employs makes my eyes sing with joy 😊 And then there’s the incredibly awkward yet somehow natural looking posing of his models (like Daydream) where their necks are twisted and their hands are always so on display. Just some thoughts from one art lover to another! Keep up the excellent work, if I can afford it, I’ll join your patreon. 💚💙💚
Your stuff is so good. I promise when I get more money I'll patreon you. I've never gotten into abstract paintings like this before, being more into realism and all, but this has opened my eyes.
It's remarkable that Cézanne remained relevant to the emergence of new art movements right up until his death. Unlike Monet who spent his final years prefecting one style, impressionism, Cézanne proved to be prescient towards future movements, Expressionism, Fauvism and Cubism amongst others. I do hope you continue to make these Art videos.
I usually don't comment on RUclips, but I'd like to thank you for your videos. They are a breath of fresh air in a cesspool of hyperkinetic superficial content on this website. Many thanks!
KBoghe Incidentally, "Cesspool of Hyperkinetic Superficial Content" is the title of my new book. Thanks KBoghe. I love to get people commenting who don't usually.
I've seen this video more than 7 times already. I absolutely love the ways you deconstruct art works and analyze them. I would love to see a video on Joseph Wright's An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump.
My problem with art is that I can never produce these kinds of analyses myself. I'm not fundamentally opposed to art. I actually quite like videos and articles like this, which explain works of art. I like the ideas that a lot of them present, or can at least appreciate them, but when I was forced by my school to go into the tate modern, it just meant nothing to me. Without a context given to me they were just ugly paintings/heaps of rocks. Is this my faulth? Do I just not understand the language by which art communicates? Or is it as the Dirac quote goes: "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in the case of [art], it's the exact opposite!"?
somewony You should never feel bad if you can't engage with a work of art. I can't tell you the number of times I've been in galleries or museums and felt nothing at all. Particularly with newer stuff, particularly with certain hyper-modern installation pieces. I'm a words guy, a stories person, so it's not surprising that I would take the work that I want to engage with more and turn it into words and stories. This is how I engage. It's why I started this series. Out of curiosity, what are the kinds of art (literature, film, comics, dance, etc.) that do inspire you?
While I love art (please keep doing these, you're great at this) I'd like some more poetry analyses like the one with Yeats, which is probably my favourite video of yours thusfar.
"Is this my fault? Do I just not understand the language by which art communicates? " Every emotion felt and critiques written on an art piece are true, even the contradictory ones. Knowledge of context, intent or familiarity with the author might inform you with additional layers of meaning, but it doesn't invalidate what you personally gained from a piece. Your previous critique of "tate modern" as "ugly paintings/heaps of rocks" is just as true as any other analysis. The trick to writing a "compelling critique" is to ask yourself "why is this just an ugly painting?", and then "why is this my answer to the previous question?"... and repeating that question until you get bored. All this mean, is that you haven't found artworks that speaks to you (one that makes you WANT to explore "why do I feel X about it"), or that you did but been arbitrarily told that you were wrong by some pretentious authority. Reading from your previous comment, it seem that you are familiar with at least one language of art, under its written form. There is as many art dialect as there are artists. Some are raw or warm like Abstract, other very formal, uniform, rigid and codified like Realists and Manga where deviation from the norm is seen as vulgar. That, and the "Death of the Author" is just as true in the visual arts as in anything else. More so, even. ---- "In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in the case of [art], it's the exact opposite!" The viewer shows the Art, in such a way understood only by himself, something that everyone already felt? That's one way to see it. I wonder how many variation of that "opposite" can be written... I know I went through about 7 before settling on that one.
You can't understand art only by your own. You have to study it, and to learn how to read it. Art is like a language: if you don't get the grammar, you can appreciate or not the sound of the words, but you can't be able to understand what those words mean. It's essentialy wrong to pretend to stand up in front of a painting and wait until the "mystical meaning of art" appears to your eyes. This is not how art works! Art is emotion but also rationality; humanity but also science; individual desease but also history. If you don't know the scientifical researches Cezanne did in his life you would never understand why his art is so great for contemporary era. So, it's not your fault if you didn't study art in your life. But you can avoid it to become a fault only buying a good guide to art history and beginning to study it. You will see that the "mystical meaning of art" is not so much mystical, but ready to be learned by everyone. It takes only time and patience :)
I'm not an expert or anything but I think this is the artist dream, u know how sometimes u get this wonderful dream and when u wake up u try to recap it, but u can't remember any of the faces, u only remember how good it felt ?
Interesting how this whole work is essentially the culmination of the artist's understanding and experience or other works. All paintings (and works of art) do this, but this does it "more", for lack of a better word in my vocabulary. Also, he worked on this for 7 years, but he managed to keep those parts of the women's bodies without paint. Proving how carefully he chose where to put paint. He wasn't just adding and adding and adding. He seemed to have a very good idea what he wanted.
As an artist myself and having the luxury of seeing this piece MANY times over in person, I actually believe this MAY be Cezanne playing with hidden images. No one ever mentions that if you back up from this big painting about 15-20' a large woman's face appears in the middle.. the trees are her hair, the swimmer is her lips, the tall tree dead center in the BG is the bridge of her nose etc.. Yes, it's rough, but it's there..This in my opinion and experience, was not by accident. It's there. I believe this is possibly why the painting is loose, it was not meant to be viewed up close with a magnifying glass. It's more a painting about what's NOT painted than what is. This last I checked was in the Philadelphia Art Museum. If you're close to Philly guys, go take a look..Then take another look from across the room. Then enjoy the rest of the great artwork there.
Omg brilliant, just brilliant! levels beyond the introduction to art history class that I was required to take as an undergraduate at Columbia as part of the Core Curriculum.loved that class. without it I would not have been able to understand and enjoy this video as much as I did. Your videos are treasures. I look fwd to the day when i will see longer form programs exec.produced by you on PBS or Ovation 😊
Always a good sine when I have to watch one of your videos twice! :) Really nice work! What I like about this masterpiece is also how for me the three bathing women look into the center which somehow looks like a crack which they try to fill or to unfold? This heightens the feeling how the senses and knowledge modifies our ability to see. All the best from Vienna!
I would always find analysis of poems or any other work of literature very intriguing,never really thought that so much thought is put into any piece of painting. I'm actually really surprised.
Dude your voice is so nice and soothing, love your channel. I'd love you to analyze some Diego Rivera. Maybe the "Man at the Crossroads" that he was supposed to be painted at the Rockefeller Center! Looking forward to see more videos. Greeting from Mexico!
Oh boy, that's very rare for me to put videos taking art theory as a subject on replay. But yeah, I'm doing it right now, like for the 5th time now. Good content dear Nedwritter, very good. You've got my subscription.
fuck dude i've watched three or four of your videos and every single one is like shit i need to find something else he's talking about that i enjoy and i'm sure eventually i'll get past that and watch everything and learn so much about stuff I dont even know much about! Keep up the great great work
Really good videos!!!!!!!!!!!! few ideas; Edouard Manet, the execution of maximilian, anything of Salvador Dali or Pieter Bruegel's The Elder (the later is quite interesting).
Thank you Nerdwriter1 for sharing with us ur knowledge of understanding such beautiful pieces of art. For your next study i would love to see... Michelangelo
Ethan Schoen My feeling is, the classics are classics for a reason. You just have to find a way to unlock them. So often I get into things I never would have because the person telling me about them is enthusiastic (e.g. I minored in archeology in college because of one extraordinary professor). That's my model for this work.
After watch for sometime, If you look at the picture in two parts from the middle. Picture show two angles, one is ours, which is on the right, and the other on left is from perspective/angle of the person on the other side of the stream, so, when we look at ladies from our side the reality, we see image on right side but when we see through the man (standing on the other side of stream) eyes we see the image on the left.
hi there. i appreciate your ideas and demonstration. and i really would like to see a video about a specific musical piece. i will be glad if you make it about a shostakovich symphony or a beethoven quartet.(just a suggestion)
great vídeo but Picasso said that because how Cézanne studied realitty, sinthesising objects to geométric forms and the "facetado" (in spanish) a técnico of making volumes
"They painted just what they saw to the canvas in front of them". And you follow that with the beautiful painting of a mountain @ 3:54. Was Cezanne the first to notice that a distant mountain appears pink? It's weird that we can observe a thing over and over and never notice how we actually see it.
I really hope you do more art review.
Victor Nguyen That's a pretty safe hope to have.
+Nerdwriter1 absolutely love your work -- i can't tell you how much I appreciate these short videos. Keep them coming man
Victor Nguyen Check out the channel Smarthistory. They have hundreds of great videos about individual works of art.
review? WTF????
chuck70k fuck you
i wish i could just go to a museum and have someone talk to me about the art piece in such a philosophical way
FR
Agreed
Couldn't agree more
There aren't many channels on RUclips that make this type of high-quality art theory videos! Please keep this series going I am really loving it!!
Austin Gaebe WIll do. Thanks Austin!! Any paintings you're interested in being analyzed?
Nerdwriter1 something from Michelangelo Merisi Da Caravaggio and maybe make a parallel between him and Michelangelo di Ludovico Buonarroti.
Rodrigo Poncinelli niccceeee, thanks
Nerdwriter1 Speaking of impressionism, I've always been utterly perplexed by Ludwig Meidner's Apocalyptic Landscapes. I saw one at the Norton Simon Museum and it has held my memory for many years.
That or Surrealism could be fun to analyze.
I personally would love to see your take on Mark Rothko, Damien Hirst, and Ai Wei Wei. Those three artists are fascinating to me.
Isn't the lack of paint on the women also an exacurated form of nakedness?
Great addition, works much better for me than 'interrupting the scene as if some force from a world beyond.' Exacurated means ?
you're not thinking enough
DAVID FOSFORD Well I get that all of the painted bits are like the real world, and the canvas bare looks totally strange, but this dudes comment struck a nicer chord with me. The original has grown on me though.
what does exacurated mean
I just love your work. This series, "Understading Art" is just wonderful! Thanks a lot for the effort and time.
Câmera na Mão My pleasure. More on the way.
That moment when your own essays aren't getting done 'cause you're stuck in a Nerdwriter video essay marathon.
I Always enjoy these videos especially as someone who has little to no knowledge of art history. Would love to see some more videos on your favourite directors / films!
***** Working on one now. Like right now.
Loved this, totally intellectual but still so easy to grasp
Matthew Wood Thanks Matthew. That's what I was going for.
Ohmygod that ending was amazing
like....mind blown. I've never thought about art like that before. Arghhhehfu
What was he going for? can you help me out
yeah! So they main part that stood out to me was the perspective of the painting. The image of naked women bathing is a really common scene in art (1:55).

John Davids This makes me so happy. Van Gogh was my first favorite painter. Definitely going to get to him soon.
Nerdwriter1 Wow, awesome! I've never had any of my favorite creators respond or interact with me. Thanks! :-D
I've seen this painting a million times before and I always pushed it off to the side. After watching this video you've brought a new perspective to the piece that makes it into something absolutely wonderful.
Absolutely love your work, there are barely any other channels I've come across that produce such eye opening content! Thank you for these videos.
dana 24601 just curious, which other channels would you recommend? I would like yo visit channels with the same quality :)
these are so high quality.....amazing!
GG Kwak Thanks, GG!
You should make one on Rothko's work. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts and interpretations of his style.
I LOVE these art review videos so much! They’re so different from everything else on RUclips today. You can really appreciate the time and careful, meticulous study that went into each one. Thank you!! They make my little artist heart swell with satisfaction 😊

Flynn Gumshoe Thanks Flynn!
I just can't stop coming back. Hope you keep doing art videos like these! Just beautiful.
I love watching an old Nerdwritter video and knowing when the video is about to end because of the music cue.
This channel is so beautiful and I seriously like the art theory videos the most. It's such a shame I can't financially support this great channel
The way you make these videos without divulging into esotericism is wonderful.
Angus Gillies That's a lovely thing to say.
It's remarkable that Cézanne remained relevant to the emergence of new art movements right up until his death. Unlike Monet who spent his final years prefecting one style, impressionism, Cézanne proved to be prescient towards future movements, Expressionism, Fauvism and Cubism amongst others.

Your analytical abilities are impeccable as always! This series as well as your film analysis videos are extaordinary!

More or less anything that is written, film also, but less.

Love your videos. was recommended by RUclips and have binged watched 7 or 8 in a row. Such good stuff.
the real, perception and colour, pretty much the most important things to understand Cezanne :) great video
I love no nerdwriter videos more than those of the understanding art series.
Love Cézanne’s work!
spot on good sir, I've seen every Nerdwriter and Dicksoak video and these art ones are truly your best work, so bravo!
SuperFubar1993 Thanks SuperFubar. A fan of Dicksoak is always welcome here.
I mean, that was the best description of a painting I've ever heard. I always liked Cezanne but I don't think I ever appreciated him until now.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do more art and poetry videos!!!! I am totally in love and obsessed!!!
Your art analyses are the best
I'm not an expert or anything but I think this is the artist dream, u know how sometimes u get this wonderful dream and when u wake up u try to recap it, but u can't remember any of the faces, u only remember how good it felt ?

Please do more of these art videos! They're so highly transportive and somehow poignant.
Please do more art videos dude. I love hearing about artist's mind in their works.
Omg brilliant, just brilliant! levels beyond the introduction to art history class that I was required to take as an undergraduate at Columbia as part of the Core Curriculum.loved that class. without it I would not have been able to understand and enjoy this video as much as I did. Your videos are treasures. I look fwd to the day when i will see longer form programs exec.produced by you on PBS or Ovation 😊
Extremely enlightening, to say the least.
Dali would be cool! He was huge into math and science, so maybe you could bridge something in there?
Flynn Gumshoe Dali would be AWESOME.
I haven't heard this level of art review in a long time! thank you! do more! please!
Dude! what a fantastic channel thank you so much.
Always a good sine when I have to watch one of your videos twice! :) Really nice work! What I like about this masterpiece is also how for me the three bathing women look into the center which somehow looks like a crack which they try to fill or to unfold? This heightens the feeling how the senses and knowledge modifies our ability to see. All the best from Vienna!
Aron Marton Nicely put!
This painting is haunting
I would always find analysis of poems or any other work of literature very intriguing,never really thought that so much thought is put into any piece of painting. I'm actually really surprised.
I'm watching your videos at 1:25am and I'm realizing that I have to stop because I need all my mental capacities for your videos. Cats be damned
i love how dramatic you make the video endings
Thanks for introducing us to these beautiful works and the journey in thought! stellar
babblefish8 Thanks, babblefish. It's my pleasure.
This is incredible analysis
Please do more arte reviews! They're so amazing.
Dude your voice is so nice and soothing, love your channel. I'd love you to analyze some Diego Rivera. Maybe the "Man at the Crossroads" that he was supposed to be painted at the Rockefeller Center! Looking forward to see more videos. Greeting from Mexico!
incredible story telling.
Thank you, man. Please keep this up. Please keep doing Understanding Art.
jravary Will do. I want to expand this series into other media as well: novels, albums, comics (!!!), video games, etc.
Your "pauses" at the conclusion of your videos get me every single time. I fucking hate it! Respect.
Oh boy, that's very rare for me to put videos taking art theory as a subject on replay. But yeah, I'm doing it right now, like for the 5th time now. Good content dear Nedwritter, very good. You've got my subscription.
fuck dude i've watched three or four of your videos and every single one is like shit i need to find something else he's talking about that i enjoy and i'm sure eventually i'll get past that and watch everything and learn so much about stuff I dont even know much about! Keep up the great great work
Cezanne's landscape paintings and obsessive life inspired me to film a short biography.
Great! :) Can I see it somewhere?
I still remember when you schooled me on the cosmos, aliens, and etc... no one ever described the future of earth like that .. props bro
Amazing analysis!!!! Hats off!
Absolutely love this video, and all your art analyses. Please do more
You're absolutely stellar.
I found it interesting when they highlighted this exact painting in the movie 'split'
More like this please me and my family love them!
The what? I cant frikin understand the last word. Holy god I love this channel.
Cezanne made us a part of the painting he is watching!
Thank you for this brilliant informative video ! Really eye opening.
I do hope you will produce more painting analyses videos !
"Raw Trauma" the phrase triggered the memory of when i watched bridge to terabithia and when i got spoiled right before the spoiler event happened
This is beautiful
Your art videos are my favorite. Have you considered doing a Dali painting? Maybe "Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man"?
Really, really insightful video. Excellent
Really good videos!!!!!!!!!!!! few ideas; Edouard Manet, the execution of maximilian, anything of Salvador Dali or Pieter Bruegel's The Elder (the later is quite interesting).
Fergus Croston All great suggestions. Gonna check them all out.
Just finished watching every video you posted. Amazing work man 🙏🙏
Great! Incredible nice editing.

You make me like every painting you go over
Ethan Schoen My feeling is, the classics are classics for a reason. You just have to find a way to unlock them. So often I get into things I never would have because the person telling me about them is enthusiastic (e.g. I minored in archeology in college because of one extraordinary professor). That's my model for this work.
Well keep up the great videos man, this is making me excited for College a whole lot.
Please make a video about Michael Vrubel. His paintings literally drove him crazy, so it's interesting story to tell
After watch for sometime, If you look at the picture in two parts from the middle. Picture show two angles, one is ours, which is on the right, and the other on left is from perspective/angle of the person on the other side of the stream, so, when we look at ladies from our side the reality, we see image on right side but when we see through the man (standing on the other side of stream) eyes we see the image on the left.
5:00 looked like that scene in its such a beautiful day (big Don)

great vídeo but Picasso said that because how Cézanne studied realitty, sinthesising objects to geométric forms and the "facetado" (in spanish) a técnico of making volumes
Beautiful
***** Cheers, logan!
"They painted just what they saw to the canvas in front of them". And you follow that with the beautiful painting of a mountain @ 3:54. Was Cezanne the first to notice that a distant mountain appears pink? It's weird that we can observe a thing over and over and never notice how we actually see it.
