Gustave Courbet -Understanding Modern Art Part 3
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- Gustave Courbet, French Realist painter and serial self aggrandiser, is the third painter we look at in our search for the father of Modern Art.
The hardest part about writing these things is having to leave so much out. I skimmed a lot of info about A Burial at Ornans and The Artists Studio in order to spare you a three hour video. I hope what is left is still interesting. This will conclude my little series on these French painters and the beginnings of Modern Art. I started with this topic as I wanted to figure out the process of making videos and get some practice with it before doing anything else. I also quite like the period and these painters. I think understanding why art changed in the mid to late 19th century is a great way to get a base in understanding Modern Art. Now that I've finished with this series and feel more comfortable with editing/recording, I hope to make more ambitious art related videos on a much wider range of topics. Many thanks to all of you who took the time to suffer through my handiwork.

One of the best commentators on art on CZcams.😊 many thanks.
I really enjoyed this video, your narration is perfect. One thing i want to add, he never proposed to destroy the column. He wanted to relocate it. It was a shock to him how it all turned out and how he became hated and alienated. He also lost most of his family before he started killing himself with alcohol.
Glad you liked it, and thanks for pointing that out about the column, That's an important distinction to make!
Perfectly narrated and full of interesting matters
I can't thank you enough for bringing Art into my life.
No worries, glad you enjoy it
Ive never commented on a video before..
But this channel is brilliant.
Keep on doing an important work..
Thanks, that's nice of you to say, I'll keep at it if its useful
this is a great video and was the best way for me to understand Courbet and his works better. my adhd makes it hard for me to read long text and your video was so well researched and lovely narrated. Thank you, I had fun! :)
Really glad to hear that, happy it helped!
A very good video on Courbet and the roots of Modern and Contemporary art! Thanks
Thank you too, glad you enjoyed it!
A perfect video filled with knowledge and facts
Thanks 🙏
The only reason I will pass the final art essay is this video
Glad I could help!
Quit
Quit what?
You deserve WAAAAAAY more subscribers and views please keep making more of these videos!
Thanks! I'm very greatful for the audience I've got as it is, I'll keep it up so long as you guys find it useful
absolutely brilliant , well researched, thank you
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant lol . Unbelieveable CZcams is,
Outstanding series
What a great way to understand, thank you so very much!
You're very welcome, glad you liked it!
Love Courbets art. Seen his big masterpieces in Musee d'Orsay, fantastic. Thanks for an interesting video.
Your very welcome. I'm a big fan of his work too, saw a couple in person a while ago too and they are stunning. Funny how photos never do paintings justice
So happy I’ve found this channel! 😄🌟❤️
Glad to hear that!
Thanks for your good work.
My pleasure!
Thank you for this video series; I watched all three. I particularly like the emphasis in each video on what the artist was after in his work, and less about the artist's life, as so many books and videos emphasize. Describing the contributions each artist makes helps put the pieces together to describe the evolution of art and its trends through time, and this helps us understand where the ideas and techniques in more modern works came from. And keep the humor going and ignore the negative comments! I'd love to see steps into modern art (Picasso, Matisse, and onward). Great work!
I love your videos, I feel like you have helped me opening my eyes, thank you so much
Thanks so much! Always glad to hear they've helped people out
Thank you for your work!
My pleasure!
Well done, glad I found your channel. Courbet like many innovators is bold, confident, and daring. Interesting artist to learn about, thanks!
Glad to hear you like it, I checked out your channel too, good to see more art history on CZcams. Loved the look at Napoleon Crossing the Alps and the Raft of the Medusa, top notch stuff!
@@theartshole311 Thanks, I appreciate it!
What incredible content with thoughtful insight spilling from the seams.
You should take pride in the production of this video; the script was well written, lines delivered appropriately, and the use of visuals were astounding.
Amazing work!
Very educational 🙌🏾
Brilliant!
Thanks for the amazing video!!
No problem!
great video! (I really loved the zoom in on Napoleons eyes) :D
Thanks! Love that picture, had to use it somewhere!
Love this channel.
Cheers!
Wonderful video
Only just stumbled across this but fantastic video! It explains so much. I definitely need to dig further into Corbet. Thank you for opening my eyes on this formative artist.
Really great video! Will subscribe and look for more =)
In music there was a purely architectural evolution toward modernism. The 1st step was the creation of our ostensibly modern tonal system via the miracle of tempering. This revolutionary development created a system of 12 equal and interactive interchangeable platforms for composition. So from the time of J.S.Bach untill the present it's been possible to write a musical composition that freely uses any or all of the 12 available platforms or keys not only giving the composer the freedom to develop ideas while freely modulating through other keys. But this system had compelling colouristic potentialities that were later to be exploited by Wagner Mahler Scriabin Satie Revel and Debbusy in the form of chromatically altered harmonies. But all of these possibilities were composer driven and quite architectural and not the function of the industrial revolution or the steam engine etc. Now I suggest this whole political point of causation while real no doubt wasn't the only factor.
Great comment, of course there's always multiple causes for these big shifts in culture. The development of music is fascinating in itself, though I am not as read up on it as I should be. Recently we've been looking at Vienna and the Secession movement there and in the course of my research I came across all sorts of fascinating tangents regarding the development of music and the 12 tone system in the city that I must admit I was mostly unaware of.
brilliant, thanks so much
very good video.
I've absolutely loved your videos and learned so much...I hope you will continue to make them
Cheers, more will be coming soon!
These are masterworks ...
Thank you!
Maaaaaaaaarvalous
no sufferance at all . Best wishes for your next art shows . the world is your oyster in that regard , hey ! Kenneth NZ
thanks for your videos! great content hope to see more from your channel
Thanks! I'll keep at it!
@@theartshole311 could you maybe do a video about rodin and how his work had impact on future sculptures?
Sure, will do. He's on my list of big names to cover but it could be a while till I get there
@@theartshole311 cool! Do you study art history?
@@tiktokuniverse4367 I've done a bit but I'm no art historian unfortunately, I'm a painter but I enjoy writing and researching too. Doing these videos is a great way for me to research things i'm interested in and make something useful while I'm at it
very well said though I had already studied the content long ago, but your video is great.
Cheers!
Brilliant. I'd love to see a video of yours on El Greco!
El Greco is on the list alright, next one is Joseph Wright, should be up next week
5:00 this painting was talked about in the art history book I read
So interesting. I did not catch the name of the anarchist philosopher he was inspired by... ?
Superb! Please find time to make more videos🔥🔥🔥🙏
Thank you! More coming soon!
This is very good and useful. Thanks for sharing.
Courbet - what an artist I still think he got off lightly for joining the criminal 'commune' in 1871, which he shouldn't have (foolish). That aside, excellent painter.
I wish the subtitles is also available
I really should have them alright, will see if I can find the text doc and add them for this and the other older videos, thanks for letting me know!
Thanks a ton. One suggestion. Please, please add the names of the paintings on screen.
Cheers, yeah that's a good suggestion, have been doing it in the newer videos, bit of a pain in the arse adding them in but it's worth it to clarify who painted what and all that
Modern art isn't mad.. modern societies ARE mad!
Now I got that out of me, I want to add that Praxis is something more and more artists are leaving behind. There is a revival of dadaist visual art, meaning there is no need to explain the work rather than trying to enjoy it for what it is. Intellectualizing the world that surrounds us creates madness, it is the reason people keep looking for answers when there aren't any and makes one forgetful of what simple pleasures life can bring without the need to be logical or have any reason. Life happens, and it is wonderful. What else do you need?
I know what you mean, there is a serious tendency to over-intellectualize everything in the arts and a praxiological approach definitely plays a role in that. There has to be room for enjoying things without driving yourself mad with Continental philosophy. That being said, i don't want to dismiss the possibilities the approach opens up, it just makes it way harder for people to get into.
Studying always offers another perspective on things you might have found too complicated, for sure. I completely agree we shouldn't turn into non-intellectuals, we simply should be aware that we don't kill the arts by turning everything into a game of illustrating our studies when we're talking about things that come to us naturally and how to portray them. I've already seen too many artists that try to be provocative, aren't critical of themselves and simply turn into another alienated symbolist. They literally turn the texts they read into textbook illustrations and to me that's just redundant. As an artist you're supposed to be critical, you're supposed to react against these texts and transform it into something personal so that you might offer a fresh view on things we would otherwise take for granted. Just illustrating a text is so.. poor.
I know exactly what you mean. I've been to countless shows and festivals where a certain amount of the work on show was simply illustrating concepts as you say. I think this sort of thing is somewhat encouraged inadvertently. Name dropping a few French theorists can go a long way in impressing a certain segment of the audience and so artists feel the need to do it.
I've thought for some time myself that this intellectual cheap hopping was a big part of why so many people don't get into more contemporary art. It often requires the person to have specialist knowledge before even beginning to appreciate the pieces themselves, and as you say, it can feel very alien, or at least inhuman. If I had to put it simply, I'd say reacting to a text is an excellent artistic pursuit, while copy pasting tracts about Foucault from Wikipedia to appear more critically engaged is not. As with most things in the arts, it's not so much what you do, but how you do it!
U are mad
A desperate man is his best
Lol “horrors of the human form”
😂
He painted some beautiful apples whilst in prison. Something Cezanne later became famous for🍎🍏🍎
Youre talking absolute nonsense about Courbet lashing paint on and having no detail . I suggest you look at "The Sea" by Courbet and you will see the fine art approach to his subject.
I know i'm just being overly sensational in my language, he was a very fine painter altogether, its evident throughout his work
I thought Origin of the World,no?
That's one piece that as much as I'd like to discuss would probably get me kicked off CZcams!
I did not like music it is very high
apologies! this is why I don't use music anymore
@@theartshole311 I loved the music! For me personally, it does wonders to get my mind honed into a certain concept that can be complex at times. It acts as an anchor. Although, I do think it would help if it was a touch lower. It makes for a fantastic vibe.
