The magic of Ytube is being able to discover brilliant humans like Ms Miriam Beerman. Kudos to her family for introducing us to the enviable life of a consummate creative.
I had never heard of Miriam Beerman before I watched this video. Her work is fantastic and the boldess brings her work alive. I like her I don't care approach to her work and it pays dividends. I'm now hooked on her work.
the end where she’s drawing with her grandchildren made me so happy, it reminds me of my grandparents. My grandfather is a painter and my grandmother used to draw before her arthritis got as bad as it is now.
What an incredible life. Miriam’s work while admittedly tough to internalize narrates the suffering we choose to hide from in this perpetual search for happiness. Yet it would appear based on this documentary that she represents the best of a satisfied life - one lived as she sees fit, engrossed in her passion.
I've never known her before. But I'm too expressionist painter but from Brazil and Christian spiritism religious doctrine. I can't miss for too much longer her painting in this chanel. And I'm loving to find her out. Tears fall from my eyes. Thanks very much.
Why can I practically give a detailed bio on most important male artist in history but have to dig to learn about these amazing female painters and sculptors. By the way, I’m a male so...

Fabulous woman and artist. Wonderful caring son. Very interesting video of a dynamic painter I'd never heard of .....living in Ireland as I do....until now.
A wonderful and brave artist. The prejudice against representational art in this time is well documented. It was essentially a reaction to socialist realism. So brave to represent the horrors of her age. Thanks!
I loved when I heard 'I'm related to German art' and then she painted one of my German master Joseph Beuys after a photo from his performance 'how teach pictures to a dead hare'. Thanks very much for this video. Here in Brazil there's a museum of a Jewish expressionist painter from Lithuanian called Lasar Segall who also painted Holocaust and another suffering themas with compassion.
@spud potato German art here is modern expressionist art that antisemitism nazis were also against called them degenerated artists. All art from within against military and bourgeois rules that's her family and mine. Within with spiritual and/ or instincts to freedom and relationship to earth in pureness like non European people.
"The work speaks for itself, and you can interpret it any way you want. 😤The only reason to make art is to love and reveal yourself. We lost my Father in law to dementia. My heart goes out to your family. Your mother's life matters a great deal.
Very touching tribute to a most unique artist 🌾 Thank you so much for sharing with us 🍄🍀 What a fabulous person 🦩🕊🌼🍒🥂🍾 Paris of course 💝🇫🇷🎻🦚🦋🧚♂️🦢🙆♀️🐝🪐⚜️ So appreciate the story told by her son 🍆🥭🥑🌊 And she had a 🐈 🥨✨
Why do girls tend to infantilize the elderly? Several of my girlfriends, my sister, and my mom have all talked to my grandparents like they are children even though they are perfectly cognizant. Imagine getting talked to like this 47:02 I find it disrespectful and its not how her son talks to her. Talks extremely enthusiastically like they're a family pet. Even pets her fur.. i mean hair.
It's so interesting to see art from the era of the 2 world wars, I can see the influence of the German painters of New Objectivity style. The figures are grotesque shellshocked and ptsd survivors.
I agree, and I am surprised by so many negative comments about her work. I guess that some people feel like they are authorities on a subject if they can be critical of it.
I've been to an art fair in the Netherlands once and it was called Art Brut. There were lots of artist painters and drawers participating and most of them had a psychiatric background ( all kinds of disorders) and almost ALL painted /drawed exactly like Miriam Beekman. The sáme heads, the same brush handling, the same multi colorings. Extraordinary similar ! How come ? Isn't that something ?! ps: I stopped watching at 11:56 ; really had to go to bed; its very late in the night > contunue watch later
Most people on CZcams do not have much depth in understanding art, whether it is modern or traditional. I posted a short observation. I have been an artist too since my childhood. Who has not drawn in their childhood. The leader of this distorted facial gestures was the Dutch transplanted artist, De Kooning. There is nothing bad if you paint similar to him, but it is not new.

To answer your question is simple: Meriam Beekman IS a crazy & psychopath of the highest disorder, promoted by her ' chosen people " psychopathic propaganda. that's their mission, to destroy any beauty that decent mankind created. They are the evil.

She was expressing herself through her art and that's what it's all about. Love it or hate it I guarantee she works harder than you. Maybe you're just bitter... cause none of us have heard of Anna Hope, the great artist/youtube troll.

I am somewhat baffled that this style is labeled Abstract Expressionism. That said I am also struggling to see the great art that the speakers attest to. To me it looks formulaic and repetitive. I hesitate to grade art based on the artist's biography, with obvious exceptions for a rare, beleaguered talent. I do not recognize that here.
I'm sorry. I couldn't stomach more than 10 minutes of this pretentious drivel. Beerman grew up in a wealthy New England family, and she spent her life preaching to the rest of us about the HORRORS of human existence. At least Francis Bacon got a good rough beating to inspire his paintings of HORROR! Elitist. Pretentious. Drivel.
At 1:53 I'm taking your word for it about the rest of the video, because it's giving me a headache and I'm already wondering who she thinks she is. That stuff's not abstract expressionism either. It's figurative.

You are un educated moron when it comes to art ..Art is always expressing freedom emotions .It must have also socio political significance ..Art is not always all about beauty..It is also about expressing Emotions of the soull ..
There is little to understand about "visual art", as you put it. It either looks good, or it does'nt, to the viewer. The artist shoul'nt have to "explain" what they're painting, as if they were some sort of intellectual superior. Sick and tired of that as well. It's like telling a bad joke, if I have to explain it, it's not funny. "Art" is supposed to look good! Sorry for that!
She doesn't try to explain it. In fact, she literally says what you just expressed, that it speaks for itself and the viewer is welcome to interpret it how they wish. That being said.. its not true that "there is little to understand about 'visual art'".. (not sure why you put that in quotations as if visual art doesn't exist but ok). Some art is made to speak for itself and is made intuitively. Some has symbolic meaning that is very intentional. Both are equally valid in their own ways.
I agree with most of the comments here. Very pretentious, overly macabre, gruesome art, executed by a no doubt very disturbed person. I'm also sick and tired of hearing about all of the great women artist who never got the attention because of their gender. They never or seldom recieved any because guess why? They "were'nt" that good! Just look at their work...and be honest! Frankenthaler highly overrated and boring, Elaine de Kooning and Krasner only known because of their husbands.
Youre un uneducated person when it comes to art ..Art is not always its beauty for the masses tto see...Pure art is made for Personal expression not for others. .
Walter Johnson you were in a place where education or.understanding about " "ART" is in higher levelr but youre understaning bout visual art is very very low.. Sorry for.that.. .
How is she pretentious? She's literally so honest about it that she outright says there's no hidden meanings or anything like that but she just paints what she's feeling and what's in the subconscious. If anything she is modest and downplays her work. I'm a male realist painter and I can tell you there is more creativity in her art than what basically amounts to being a human copy machine when I paint realistically. I've been trying to make the switch for years.

Striking images and beautiful in their spontaneous mark making in the mire of materiality.

Thank you.
Miriam Beerman's work would hang perfectly alongside the 'Angry Penguins' in melbourne .... such bold, hard, brutal, violent and expressive work ...
Great! Really want to see more docs on 20th century abstract expressionism & abstract artists, e.g. Rothko, Bacon, Still, Newman, Ernst etc.
Fabulous woman and artist. Wonderful caring son. Very interesting video of a dynamic painter I'd never heard of .....living in Ireland as I do....until now.

She appears to be an Empath. Absorbing other peoples pain. And trying to release it to the universe. I empathize with her.
Externalizing demons > real Art and substitution of the "unconscious" in its covering of hell itself. Good to see it!

“I am in a way constantly protesting history.”

Within forst minute .. 'finger in the mouth' who did that .. was it Gaugin .. or van Gogh .. Gaugin I think (is it a reference, possibly)
RIP
She and I paint in the same style
Did Miriam see De Kooning or Bacon or visa versa?
I like all of it, but the animals are incredible. The NY Times makes me want to vomit.
I agree, and I am surprised by so many negative comments about her work. I guess that some people feel like they are authorities on a subject if they can be critical of it.
With all due respect, so am I. Please see De Kooning. Expromanticism founder,
Jesus, she's like the female Francis bacon, but honest about it.
Francis Bacon was brutally honest. He talked about eviscerating his friends via portrait. He would not let them watch as he took them apart.
Unknown for a very good reason.
