Possibly best content on all of YouTube. This series is expansive and so succinct it is jaw dropping in its clarity and precision. So relaxed and informative!!! Who needs art school when you can just go on YouTube ! This is seriously the best thank you

Art went from cave painting to hyper realism to kicking a paint can over and selling it for 100 million dollars.

Loved the series, very well done.

i have seen hundreds of videos about the arts and i can say that your videos are unique .. quality sound .. quality information .. quality photos .. quality subjects too .. please more .. thank you Jill .. i really y admire of you .

John Singer's Sargent struck me with a huge wave of emotion. What struck me so deeply was the use of reflective colors in the emulation of quality of light. Instead of using just whites mixed with color to convey light, he has mixed in the color of the reflected surfaces to create an almost life like representation of light.

I really enjoy listening to your soothing voice.

If I could suggest a topic, it would be the influence of profit and corruption of art by individuals and how it has forced changes.

The art world is not a democracy. It is run by rich investors who only wish to profit. They dictate what “good art” is.

I believe that with the help of the internet everyone can judge for themselves.

You do a great job of not introducing biases in your descriptions. That is where I would fail. If one investigates the success of some “modern art” it is clearly the influence of rich investors that make poorly made art important.

This series show that art is not just about millions. That art is really about discovery of new ideas and understanding the self.

Your documentary is really the best arts education I've ever received. Grateful!

[chezceleste]

It's so wonderful that all these artists have contributed to our dreams and imagination. I don't understand why so many people get angry about modern art...it's not as though it makes the past disappear and lets face it, we don't need to endlessly repeat the same things and, like food or drink, we don't all like the same things...and why be angry about the price...only one person pays for it...I have seen the work of all the artists featured in this series and I haven't had to pay a penny.

[kirtg]

Thank you. This was a terrific series.

I love your videos, this is the first time art has been presented to me in a clear and well thoughtout manner. I have a foundation now, these are things I'll remember the rest of my life, so thank you again. I believe I watched each one 3 times.

With that being said, the art styles invented during and after the 1950's, I hate. Espicially works like Pollocks, but even I didnt consider that art prior to watching these videos. Art has really taken a nose dive recently and continues to.

Paintings that drew from spirituallity, dedication and real emotion is amazing, even paintings like Bob Ross' to all the artists you mentioned in parts 1 and 2, their work is inspiring.

I am amazed by efficiency of short topics that are covered. Even more amazed by not allowing commercials and adding just simple proposal at the end.
Thank you Jill Poyerd, for blessing us with generosity!

Fascinating analysis of fine art brush work through the centuries. Thoroughly enjoyed this series.

[elsie]

I am looking forward to more videos from you. Thank you

[guillermoperezrosillo]

This was fantastic. I enjoyed watching it. I agree with a comment made earlier: Art is now just splashing paint on a canvas and selling it for an outrageous amount of money. All these artists are trying to convey 'emotions' with such abstract art! How are we supposed to understand what they feel if we are not able to understand the subject? That would be like me speaking gibberish and then expect people to understand what I'm saying...

[artconversation]

Your video is from a very unique perspective. In fact, the entire history of painting is an evolution of brushwork.

[nonsibi]

I liked this series very much! As a painter, it provides me with much thought & reflection on my own inate & learned techniques. Thank you. One historical note which I feel you might consider mentioning, assuming you had no room to include it, is the point made by British art historian Waldemar Januzczak in one of his documentaries that the invention and availability of the modern flat pig bristle brush in the second quarter of the 19th Century and the invention of readymade oil paint in collaspable tunes at the same time helped make convenient, even possible, the style of quick outdoor painting explored by the Impressionists.

[onstageinlondon]

Sensational. I will refer back to your videos many times in the future, I'm sure. THANK YOU!!!

[Armafly]

Your videos...your soft, precise voice...the fluidity of images and explanations...is by itself a masterpiece. I was hypnotized. Thank you for all three videos.
