right on helen, that's bang on. .i knew Ms. Miren could do Kandinsky justice in 4 minutes or less, it's from one artist to another as you can see & she gets it, bang on : )

"A song can make you feel something. Likewise a painting can do the same thing." I appreciate these thoughts from an actress, when painting is so very often seen as an artform in decline compared to film these days. Speaking as a painter that is. ( :
Wonderful to see this side of Helen Mirren.

Fantastic artist she understands Kandisky better than lots of crap (so-/self-called) critics. Love Kandisky too. So grateful to his magic. Thanks for sharing this video.

"Art is the correspondence effected between inner necessity and outer color, movement and gesture." V. Kandinsky.

Anything Helen Mirren does is right on target! I had no idea how much she enjoys and studies paintings the way I do..Kandinsky..WOW!

[makkein]

Helen Mirren serve the justice of admiring Kadinsky, not to mention she's beautiful and knowledgeable as well.

[rtillman]

I love the randomness of the order in his paintings and that was a great quote to learn.

[hanna]

What a lovely, articulate and sincere lady.

In the presence of a Kandinsky work, I feel as if I am falling into music.

[aryehfinklestein]

Love the wonderful Helen Mirren, and Kandinsky a favorite artist of mine - so thankyou for this.

[codymason]

cody) I love the way she explains that when your sitting there your in that artists space. you start seeing how kadinksy's layout isn't random at all its actually incredible how it has its own way of organization. if you just 5- 10 minutes of your own time and sit and gaze at a painting you get the feelings the painter had as when they were painting it.

[Doppeganger]

Very nice. Kandinsky one of my all-time favs too, it's just unendingly interesting to look at, never bores me

[kerryklaassen]

Helen is so insightful and speaks it like poetry.

[NoufAbdulmajeed-ph]

I most certainly agree with you Madame.. When I look at a painting I am taken away from my own space and engulfed in the artist s work.. I look deeply at his brush strokes... Color schemes.. Shadows.. Depths.. Light.. I move away from my space to get to the atmosphere.. the air.. the ambiance of the painting.

Beautiful Helen in front of such Beautiful paintings.❤

[meryemsalem]

I can listen to her talk all day...Indead Kandinsky is the example of the perfect combination between chaos and a well organized and calculated work

[kathysemrau]

Art is a love all of it's own. Thank you.

[sethuraman_g]

Wow.. this angel has limitless surprises.. how damn articulate..

[touchheartyoga]

Helen, you give expression with such emotional richness, so naturally. You are sunlight chasing shadows. Your gift seems to be expressing love, how elegant, how perfect.

[Joe-ofob]

an artist/actress speaking on art like this is so much more informative and helpful than most other resources you can find. Thank you Helen. Time for me to watch some of your movies
