The Artwork That Took Almost 40 Years to Create
For decades, the American sculptor Harvey Fite struggled to think of a suitable title for his ever-evolving earthwork, until the name “Opus 40” came to him. “Opus” meaning “work” in Latin, and “40” because, all told, he estimated that it would take him 40 years to complete his masterpiece.
In our age of mass-production devoid of quality, care, and craftsmanship, Opus 40 stands out as a monumental labor of love. Join us as we wander its meandering bluestone pathways, where Fite’s extraordinary story unfolded and, tragically, came to an end.

Exploring the Only American Museum Devoted to Italian Art 🇮🇹
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.Год назад
Join us as we explore Magazzino, America’s only museum devoted to Italian art. For many of us, “Italian art” prompts visions of imposing Roman sculpture; the regal Renaissance portraiture of Botticelli, Leonardo, and Raphael; and intense Baroque scenes immortalized by the likes of Caravaggio and Bernini. But Italian culture didn’t cease to exist after the days of the Old Masters. In the 1960s, ...

In the 1920s, the Russian-born artist and scholar Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947) led a mysterious expedition across some of the world’s most forbidding terrain. His purpose, he announced, was to document the rituals, monuments, and landscapes of Asia’s remote reaches. But he harbored a secret motivation. An age-old legend in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions speaks of a kingdom called Shambhala, ...
Know the Artist: Giuseppe Arcimboldo

In the age of regal Renaissance portraiture, artists were tasked with formally-and of course favorably-capturing their patron’s likenesses. But Giuseppe Arcimboldo (Italian, 1526-1593) took formality off the menu with his whimsical paintings that were good enough to eat.

As is often the case with free-spirited visionaries, the weird and wonderful William Blake (British, 1757-1827) was largely disregarded during his lifetime. Now we celebrate his blazing genius, which kindled a fantastical mythos of divine beings, profound works of poetry, and some of the most brilliantly bizarre images in British art.

There is something new about Albrecht Durer ruclips.net/video/YV4QN0ZSNcc/видео.html
The vocal fry outed me @ about a minute. Unbearable.
What a great presentation, full of thoughtful ideas and explanations.
Thanks!
Wow! Thanks so much 🐈
This was fun to watch and W. Blake is a very fascinating human.
No more new content? 😥. Hope you're okay.
We’re fine! Just doing other things
Great and succinct overview, exactly what I was looking for
Francis was charming when he hadn't been drinking, but when he was drunk he could be obnoxious. I saw him and his boyfriend being kicked out of an art gallery private view because he was drunk and his young boyfriend was picking fights with everyone. Francis like rough trade. There is no doubt he was a master of modern painting.
U remind me of, "mr finkle",... & the British museum .., It the persona...!!?
Thanks for the images, u have provided, I had some saved, (on the fone) But they r gone,.., Let's print...x Thank you, I'm in awe with her art...x Can u do , Klimt, also...,xx
I'm so impressed, with ur -, Review of the artis' life, I wish u the best with ur channel, Can u do " glimt
Talk like a normal human not like a dictionary.
At the Prado, three paintings stand out. The dog losing his meat (Aesop, and not Goya I think), but then Saturn eating his son, with huge mad eyes. And the execution scene.
This is so badly made.
He lost so much and yet he left so many behind.
I just love this shit. Bosch must have been an edgy dude tbh
In a perfect world, i would have met and had conversations with this incredible man. I recently saw a picture of the restored Anne of Cleves painting and it truly is impressive.
Filled with progressive optimism and then disillusioned by tragedy, ignorance, war, and despots. That's why I relate to de Goya's art. It's been a large influence on my own.
Congratulations on the inspiring presence and work!!! All the very best.
I wish art history and art analysis was practiced and taught like this in school as an elective for those who are interested. I have learned more about art from your channel and a couple others of similar quality and depth than I ever learned in my formal education. Thank you!
Japanese cats often have short or even rabbit -like tails.
Who else came here after watching “Ripley”?
I did….La luce…..sempre La luce!
Ripley, what? Show, movie, documentary? Would like to watch whatever brought you here...
@@mrwilson.1 Ripley the series is in Netflix, black and white. Personally I prefer the movie 'The talented Mr Ripley' with Matt Damon as well in Netflix. One of my favourites movies.
ofc kandinsky stole the claim from her
Cat❤
Can anyone tell me the name of the background instrumentals?
Great video & good kitty : )
hollywood art history? terrible
I love your intelligent and entertaining analysis of paintings!
Great video and if you like her art, please pay Tamara your respect by pronouncing her name correctly: it's [lempitzka] and not [lempika]. Cheers!
I love u
William Blake was as metal as they get. That is why I tattooed The Tyger poem on my chest.
Love this artist. Thank you for bringing his story. I was not familiar.
The detail in the landscapes is incredible. Thank you for posting these wonderful videos.
So original...I know his work immediately.
Great video!
Sad to see you not posting anymore :(
We’re focusing our energy on instagram/TikTok now. RUclips really let us down 🤷🏻♀️
@@TheArtTouristOh no...I just found your channel...
If you get to go to Nuremberg, the old city, you will see a contemporary statue of a giant cast bronze Hare emerging from it's den and cruising all of it's children and all other smaller creatures in it's path. I believe it dates to the 1960's when students and artists alike were feeling pretty dammed repressed and overshadowed by the dominance of art created hundreds of years before they had their voice
Yeah, only SOME New Yorkers go to the Hamptons . Regular folks just live in the same squalor your corrupt taxation system has imprisoned them in. Also - show the whole painting. They have some compositional interest but there’s not a lot going on there
u beautiful
this background music freaks me out
No wonder Madonna is a huge fan of Tamara . She uses her style with huge poster signs in her “ Open Your Heart”video. Love her work
Great video, thank you for posting it.
She's name not LempiKa, she is Lempitska or Lempitzka on yours language. She is from Poland
Love Bosch
Golly, you are a pleasure to both my ears and eyes. ☺️
The Global Anus Organization is moving the ships of Nazism (Nano chip) inside us. To organize people. White Nazi, Black Nazi, fighting shoulder to shoulder against humanity. We are at war. (With the cooperation of some Jews and some Brahmins, humanity is being corrupted and killed. EXACTLY AUSCHWITZ, THE SAME.) The same forces carried out the Second World War. He had progressed using the Brahmin Catholic church. The same situation is happening now. The Papacy is making "warning" statements to get rid of this situation. Same scenario. Stalin is expected! (The military age of Multinational Humanity is beyond Stalin. This is necessary.)
She was a fascist. And an aristocrat.
