After having watched hours and hours of Waldemar's videos for the past year, I finally decided to go the Fine Arts Museum in Springfield, Massachusetts. I went to see a glassblowing exhibit, but wandered off to another room. And there it was. A haystack painting by Monet. I actually felt that booming heartbeat that Waldemar so often talks about as my breathe was taken away. I cannot tell you how profound and life changing experience this was to me. Waldemar, you have brought me to so many marvelous museums around the world. You have opened my mind, and my eyes to the endless joys and inspirations that can be found in just one painting. I can't wait for my next museum visit. A simple thank you seems so trivial, but sir; thank you.
Ed, good for you! Happened to me with Van Gogh's painting of old boots on a chair, Boston Museum of Fine Arts. So humble he was. I've been to many art museums, that was for some reason revelatory to me. No substitute for seeing great works in person. All the best to you.
thats what the art world can do: open your mind. You dont have to enjoy it all, or even know it all. You just gotta get involved, and life changes for the better
I can't put into words how amazing this channel is. Waldemar's passion for art and these documentaries, the production value, the unique and sincere insight into art and history - and all of it for free on CZcams - truly put this into the category of masterpieces of the Internet's golden age.
@@treelinktree Just do a Google search for him to find out. An interesting background which well qualifies him to make these fascinating and educational videos. English. Much loved in the UK. Worshipped by some, life would be much poorer without his work.
Words fail me to describe just how wonderful Waldemar's epic journey through American Art is. Profound, irreverent, deeply intelligent. I Love you, Waldemar!! Thankyou!
What a wonderful program. Love how he shows the same passion in seeing in describing a Remington western sculpture as he does a Van Gogh or Rembrandt masterpiece.
I grew up in Salt Lake City, spent my youth camping in the desert, and never heard of the Spiral Jetty until I moved to London and saw a film about it at the Tate Modern. Now I’m a constant museum goer in New York and know so many of these paintings intimately, but these films are still teaching me so much about them. Thanks for posting and top marks to the entire team.
This was one of the BEST Perspectives yet! This is the most informative and artisic educational channel about art and art history on CZcams. Waldemar is the best🌌
As usual, I want-and will- go back and start all over again. As a visual artist-.and a simple human being- my life and vision has been profoundly enriched by Waldemar's programmes. Thankyou so much! Pure Genius!❤
Great series, Enjoy the Perspective channel immensely and Waldemars walk through time, history and art is unsurpassed in it's quality & unique delivery. Ive always been interested in history, but so many educators fall so short in keeping the student's interest alive. It's documentaries and content such as these that should be used to inspire both students and armchair enthusiasts alike, for those who care to dwell in such interesting subjects..
In the early 1970’s there was a show at the Guggenheim, where the up and coming artists of the time… ( minimalists, etc) were challenged to create pieces specifically to interact with the Wright’s building, it’s ramps, and concept. As a teenager, I was lucky to have a mentor, in the sculptor Michael Singer, who had one of his balance pieces in the show. He is best known today for his environmental works. And like the Guggenheim, Wright’s Chapel in Sedona is also an inspiration of light and space, enjoying the vista’s of the south western dessert. I’m so loving all these videos. Thank you for sharing them here on CZcams. 😁
Fifteen minutes in and it's good so far. I love that he's pointing out that many iconic paintings weren't necessarily based on reality and that much of what is remembered about the old west was made up.
You have to be in the room with a Rothko to experience it’s full effect. I used to sneer about them, but when I saw one at the DeYoung it dominated the room, so much energy was pulsing I off it.
@Nathan Childress Same! My late husband and i were DeYoung (& Asian Art Museum & MOMA & Academy of Arts and Sciences) groupies, for lack of better terms. Took my Ma when Chihuly’s amazing exhibit of blown glass creations were on display. Some critics claimed the medium didn’t qualify as ‘fine art’. Funny, i don’t recall any exhibits on art critics, come to think of it…
@@snuugumz Haha, agreed. Critics can be important for context, but it's ironic when people try to discuss rules when it comes to art. Leveling that criticism at Chihuly of all people is ridiculous, the grandest and most talented glass artist of all. I loved that exhibit as well.
This is probably my favourite of this man’s art history films. And it is the only one that i find myself adamantly disagreeing with him on what most will find to be a trivial point. The interior colour of that fabulous Duisenberg is no more mauve than i am a willowy thin fashion model. With all due respect, Waldemar, it is purple, and it is the finest shade i have ever seen. But, fear not: you remain the best art historian i have ever watched, and learned from. Also, i had a great-uncle Valdemar. Which means absolutely nothing, but is some sort of coincidence. Okay, i look forward to your next art film, good sir, sans mauve. Ciao!
The interior of the Duisenberg, I thoroughly agree with you, is not mauve. However, I beg to differ with you because it wasn't purple either, at least not on my screen (as can be experienced when choosing a tv in a store looking at the same program on different size screens or your tv vs your tablet). That might be the issue. The color may appear differently in person than how the color reads through the lens of the camera and then again how the light translated the color through whatever screen we are viewing the clip on. Although amethysts is beautiful, the color as it appeared on my screen had a great deal of regal blue in its undertone. Whatever color it was, the color, textures of materials, and craftsmanship were the complete and total embodiment and epitome of luxury and elegance to be experienced by a chosen few souls fortunate enough to be able to peak inside or own the vehicle. It was one of the many exquisite jewels that Waldemar Januszczak unearthed and so deliciously presented to us viewers.
Thank you..Thank you. I am having such fun watching this. I have not ever heard of many of these artists. I l am Canadian and British...So even though the Arts have been in my world, these guys slipped by...I wonder, given their obervational talents and how they might have been disliked by the powers that be, if their works have been simply 'not talked about' until you, now (as in big picture time) , tell us so brilliantly about them.. Thank you.
That is so cool. I have been watching the program for years. I never thought that he would be in Cedar Rapids. I not only have been to all those places I drive by it daily to work. That studio Grant Wood worked and lived in was so tiny.
I would never have guessed where this video would lead. It is different and far more interesting than anything I've seen or read on art in America. The story of Jackson Pollock's name is delightful!
I’m just going to watch one… for now. I’m saving the rest for Christmas as a gift to myself. No one tells the history of art and artists like Waldemar Januszczak.
This documentary, like most of Waldemar's art documentaries, was as delicious, satisfying, enlightening, and inspirational as the art it features. Thank you, Perspecive and Waldemar, for treating your audience with respect and intelligence. Note: I would enjoy watching Waldemar closely examine more photographers. Though this program did briefly address two photographers, typically, Waldemar approaches the subject of photography and/or photographers with a glancing or obscure comment, usually attributed to how it has contributed to a painting or painter.
Waldemar is an artist in his own right, his talent is bringing history and humanity to life, reminding us of that our heritage present and making the imperceptible matter.. He can transport us to real and imaginary places by just pointing at the road to guide us there. Even a blank canvas is an opportunity for him to fabricate an entire narrative just by envisioning the possibilities. This American series is glorious, refreshing and unique. Well done again Waldo.
At 1:24:28. Thank you for introducing me to Reginald Marsh. What a fascinatingly different American artist that one almost never hears about. The mainstream education in America makes it seem like no modern painters of worth came up in the U.S. until after 1945 and Jackson Pollock. But here you're showing me one that is an exuberant portraitist of the American every-man, as removed as can be from the stiff Upper East Side / Newport paintings of someone like John Singer Sargent or James Whistler.
Great to hear Waldemar (who I admire) talking about Detroit (which I came from). 'Although it's funny to hear him say Mitchigan.' The Rivera murals are a treasure & there could be a whole Perspective series on the city & its artistic influences & impact.
yeah im from Kitchener. Over the border. We all would rather go to Detroit than New York. Detroit got soul, real art, real culture. New York is just a giant shopping mall. Vegas with hiphop lol. Up here as many guys cheer for the Wolverines or Redwings as they do the Leafs or Argos
APRIL 15TH IS WORLD ART DAY! have fun! Connecticut USA artist here, thanking you for the grand tours of so many aspects of the arts worldwide and through the ages!
Holy person of insight(s) to artists... I'm not even half way through this video and I'm in awe with your perspectives. Thank you very very very much for the connections between time periods, artists, artisans... I'm in awe. Will write more later.
Whenever I see Waldemar show up in my feed I watch it. Whenever I can find one of these for sale, anything done by Waldemar, I buy it. Just brilliant as well as cleverly honest.
A+. And I'm not even a huge fan of much of the art here, but I find it fascinating, because of the way it is presented and contextualized. Fascinating. Brilliant.
So cool, I thought this artist looked familiar, then saw the illustrations she made for the In Trieste magazine! I believe I’ve spoken to her at the presentation, what a coincidence. And she’s so talented! As an illustrator myself - not quite as accomplished as Sofi, and definitely not as young 😅 I also appreciated the feedback you gave her. Thanks for such super helpful reviews! 😊
Waldemar has really outdone himself on this USA series, weaving together so fluently his themes, even coming up w/overlooked details that tell you something
I just popped over and fixed my Neighbour re this. He's an artist but despite having CZcams on his massive TV he sat there complaining there was nothing to watch. So, I hooked him up and left him happy and high. What a good chap I am.
Thank you for Highlighting Gorky. I'm reading about the women of the Abstract Expressionism. They talk about what an influence Gorky was to them and how deeply crushed they all were when he died.
I loved this. As an American and Waldemar fan, I have to wonder what he thought of this place. And how they found so many places to film without trash on the ground.
Yeppers any time I get bored with the inane content on all the streaming services.. . I turn to Waldemar J's infinitely entertaining and educational vids. Honestly I can't get enough and don't understand why his series aren't numeral uno on everyone else's watchlist also... I guess I'm a lucky freak.
Spirit of the place...Lake Ballard in Western Australia...humanesque sculptures standing in a remote salt lake by Antony Gormley...haunting and intense
Mind U Im very anti-communist, I live under a communist regime, regardless: Bob Marley's Buffalo Soldier is... like one of my three personal/national anthems!
I recently found the perspective series. Your the best moderator. I only wish the quality was better when I cast these on my TV. I'm looking for the the Rome's Vatican History & Museums. That would cover hours & hours....
i hope i'm supposed to...cuz i laugh every time i see Waldemar walk into a scene and the focus is on his cowboy boots lol. well done! i've just found this channel and so far Waldemar is the brightest gem(no offense meant to the others, just praise for Waldemar)
Thank you for such beautiful art. Thank you for an adventure. This was fun 😊. I enjoyed viewing the lovely art. Thank you for posting this video, I appreciate it. Waldemar is entertaining and insightful and fun. Thank you.
Val! You tease 😂@2:39 Really great episode, finally got to see this one. Very interesting, the American Gothic artist, Wood. Always so informative, Perspective. Thank you 💖.
Love your work. Studied art for 50 years myself. I guess you'll be making a separate film on the Ashcan School and the Full seeing school on Cape Cod MS inspired by Monet's apprentice. Loved it.
Your work, Mr. Januszczak, reconnects me with an ideal which relieves the chaotic disorder of current USA politics and is therefore a work of art in and of itself.
We love Waldermar! So easy to appreciate art even when he talks about styles that are not my cup of tea. Is it possible to know the bibliography for the edition of the Secret Doctrine book he's using as a reference along the video?
The crews of James J Hill blew up a cave in a cliff under what is now known as Mounds Bluff Park in St Paul, MN, where a few of the original Indian mounds survive. They blew it up to make room for more railroad tracks by the Mississippi River. The cave had ancient pictographs, which were irreplaceable, and the crews didn't even wait until someone could take photographs to record them.
@Susan Mercurio, It's deplorable how so many of the early Europeans came to the Americas to forcibly take lands from the existing nations and in the process also destroyed their cultures. There was little respect for their artwork. The Spaniards destroyed so much of the Aztec and Mayan texts and their temples were torn down because of their religious zeal and superstitious beliefs. It's amazing how much ancient remnants are left alone in Europe but unfortunately here in the Americas, they were just destroyed.
"Before the fall, when they wrote it on a wall, when there wasn't even any Hollywood, they heard the call. And they wrote it on the wall for you and me, we understood."
There is one towering figure from American art who is missing from this presentation: Georgia O'Keeffe. Just yesterday I visited a current show on her work at the Chicago. A large collection and well put together, concentrating on her time in New York.
After having watched hours and hours of Waldemar's videos for the past year, I finally decided to go the Fine Arts Museum in Springfield, Massachusetts.

There's a Van Gogh there too and Winslow Homer and much more.

Bull crap, do some research
Sweat, urine, stale tobacco & cheap perfume... hard to capture in a painting
I wonder if he saw the Grand Canyon IRL. Impossible to capture the grandeur and breathtaking immensity.
He's a bit ignorant and it shows.@@Whoishere2333
Murals are some of the most impressive forms of art. And Rivera is the first name that comes to my mind when I think of them.
You have to be in the room with a Rothko to experience it’s full effect. I used to sneer about them, but when I saw one at the DeYoung it dominated the room, so much energy was pulsing I off it.

I’m amazed of the quality and content of this series and Waldemar is such a fantastic narrator, he is one of a kind, espectacular indeed !!!
you shouldnt be surprised, its a BBC show. Theyve basically made every good documentary of the last 30 yrs
Hail!!!!
That's an impressive video . Thanks for creating this content 😍
the BBC created this 'content'. Its a tv show
I really couldn't have enjoyed this more. Great work and a beautiful showing of American art and hosted expertly. Thanks man.
Yay! I’ve watched all the other episodes 3x. Now, a new one to love 🎉
I also simply can't get enough
💜
These programs a such gifts. Waldamar’s ability to share his perspective and knowledge is amazing.
I wish I could give this 100 thumbs up , so good!!
Great to hear Waldemar (who I admire) talking about Detroit (which I came from). 'Although it's funny to hear him say Mitchigan.' The Rivera murals are a treasure & there could be a whole Perspective series on the city & its artistic influences & impact.

so well Researched !

I love this show! ❤
beautiful, as always...
Happy Birthday. FUN episode! My favorite birthday treat is a layered strawberry cake with whipped cream frosting. 🎂

Waldemar's whit is artistic as well as anything else he describes!
FANTASTIC. How interesting, all of these artists and their art and sculpture. Thanks so much.
Thank you for Highlighting Gorky. I'm reading about the women of the Abstract Expressionism. They talk about what an influence Gorky was to them and how deeply crushed they all were when he died.
I enjoyed this documentary a lot, but there's no women artists in it except for Frida Kahlo as on object of Rivera's painting
So glad to have reconnected with Perpective.
México lindo, mi amor. Superb documentary. Waldemar el bueno.
I loved this. As an American and Waldemar fan, I have to wonder what he thought of this place. And how they found so many places to film without trash on the ground.
i used to work with tv, Im pretty sure if there was trash the coffee boy would be forced to pick it up first! lol
Man that was great. Thank you for posting.
Yeppers any time I get bored with the inane content on all the streaming services.. . I turn to Waldemar J's infinitely entertaining and educational vids. Honestly I can't get enough and don't understand why his series aren't numeral uno on everyone else's watchlist also... I guess I'm a lucky freak.
All jokes aside this is excellent for regaining strength when going through a rough time. Stay strong head up, eyes forward.
Spirit of the place...Lake Ballard in Western Australia...humanesque sculptures standing in a remote salt lake by Antony Gormley...haunting and intense
Great Episode! Thamks!!
THANKS for Min. 40 onwards... as a Dadaist Punk Rock Artist, ot means a lot to see the "before NYC Subway Graffitti art" in the US!

I recently found the perspective series.
Your the best moderator.
I only wish the quality was better when I cast these on my TV.
I'm looking for the the Rome's Vatican History & Museums.
That would cover hours & hours....
How exciting and refreshing! Passionate about art and TRUTH!! Thank you.
i hope i'm supposed to...cuz i laugh every time i see Waldemar walk into a scene and the focus is on his cowboy boots lol. well done! i've just found this channel and so far Waldemar is the brightest gem(no offense meant to the others, just praise for Waldemar)

Thank you for an adventure.
This was fun 😊. I enjoyed viewing the lovely art. Thank you for posting this video, I appreciate it. Waldemar
is entertaining and insightful and fun. Thank you.
Val! You tease 😂@2:39 Really great episode, finally got to see this one. Very interesting, the American Gothic artist, Wood. Always so informative, Perspective. Thank you 💖.
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Love your work. Studied art for 50 years myself. I guess you'll be making a separate film on the Ashcan School and the Full seeing school on Cape Cod MS inspired by Monet's apprentice. Loved it.
So Good I Watched it 3 Times to Absorb the Gobs of Information!
Your work, Mr. Januszczak, reconnects me with an ideal which relieves the chaotic disorder of current USA politics and is therefore a work of art in and of itself.
Saturday mornings with Waldrmar.
We love Waldermar! So easy to appreciate art even when he talks about styles that are not my cup of tea. Is it possible to know the bibliography for the edition of the Secret Doctrine book he's using as a reference along the video?
Just - thank you. I learned so much - maybe even about my own art.
I just love to follow these art præsentations. They are so well done and very often eye opening. Here I was especially seduced by the rock art. 🎶🖤🎵
Only 2 minutes in and I know this will be great! How did I not know about it until today!!
Oh man Waldemar is definitely the prophet of art.
Gold. Bravo.
Thankyou for an incredible video, watched whole thing over 2 nights. from New Zealand
Glad you enjoyed it

incredible, had no idea jackson pollock went to manual arts high school in LA. a lot of my friends went there.
You can't talk about art in the Western United States without talking about Bierstadt.
I tought that I have seen this before, still, Waldemar it's a great teller
That's the description I was looking For (thankyou)... he's a great "teller". Yes
Freddie Remington seems to be Waldemar's secret best friend he doesn't want to admit to. 😂♥️
Love this channel!!!
Gorkys story is heartbreaking. Damn man, RIP
Fascinating and thoroughly enjoyable !!!!!
"Before the fall, when they wrote it on a wall, when there wasn't even any Hollywood, they heard the call. And they wrote it on the wall for you and me, we understood."
I suspect Waldemar etal had enormous fun filming this show, lol
There is one towering figure from American art who is missing from this presentation: Georgia O'Keeffe. Just yesterday I visited a current show on her work at the Chicago. A large collection and well put together, concentrating on her time in New York.
Ohh gosh I love your golden ring.
I have a clipping from the plant in the painting at 2:36:43 which has been passed down for generations and still lives on.
Nice
