I'm from New Hope, PA, where the New Hope school of Impressionism began!

Fantastic video! I love how well you explain art. Thank you!

What an exceptionally interesting summary of this art movement. Many, many thanks.

A very welcoming video. No flowery words, no lingo of the trade.

What is really great was the decision to honour great artworks of world and human ingenuity and find a place for them in an institution such as National Gallery.
The scope of influence and friendships of Britain is just amazing, just as it was and is the Britains role in the world, so the choice of having great Impressionist was no surprise. But what was the most astonishing, was to see how much British artists have influenced the world's art (let's just mention Turner's foundation for Impressionism) how groundbreaking they were, and how they made their mark in history.
I can't wait your next video on masterpieces or something equally inspiring. Happy holidays

I really enjoyed learning about this art period

Thank you for these educational videos!

Am enlightened, thank you and I will watch again.  Fascinating

Thank you for this. It makes me want to dive into more art. And to visit the National Gallery.

Your work is much appreciated. The tone, approach and level of analysis is just right. What a precious resource!

Beautiful video. Would love to see this, sadly don't live in the UK. sigh!

Fascinating history, thank you for sharing this! Very well done.

It is always a great pleasure listening to these videos thank you so much

Excellent presentation!

Very good short

Van Gogh did groundbreaking work during the lae 1880's His art created a bridge to Expressionism.

I too like the Luce painting of the foundry. What stands out to me is that it is not a realistic painting of foundry workers. I say this not because it is stylised, which it is, but because from this huge cauldron of molten metal, a worker pours a tiny amount of molten metal into a tiny mould. There is probably some technical explanation for it, like sampling the metal, but to me as an uninitiated viewer it does look odd, and bearing in mind they were anarchists, I wonder whether there is a message there?

Most recent modern art substitutes weird for quality, narrow isms for scope, and trendy for depth. It also refuses to change or even talk about progressive ideas in art like those that follow

Too many treat art as a marketing scheme. Modern art has become a trendy clique and the art now is mostly over promoted footnotes to greater art that was done 100 years ago.  But art is too important to be reduced to a trendy clique.

Post-ism, is art for a new century, not a continuation of last century trends.

1 Mass Market Paintings like Prints. When any art form is mass marketed it enters a golden age. This has happened with books, records, and film. Let's add paintings. Most art is in storage in museum basements. Mass Marketing allows art to tour in copies and allows artists to make royalties on copies.
Why do you think the world gets so excited about a new great book, record, or film; but no one cares about a new great painting?  All are mass produced except the painting.

2. End a Century of Isms. Dump the genres and formulas and let all kinds of art be a part of the art world.

3. Shift Emphasis From Trendy to Quality. Shift emphasis from the latest trendy art, to quality art in any style. Just because art is weird does not mean it is great art.

4. Free the Art From Museums and Galleries. Get the art out of the ivory elitist museum and gallery towers and back into the world.  Have city art centers open to all artists. Make art that is relevant and communicates with people. Start with the first generation of artists online.

5. Postism is Part of a Bigger Revolution. Postism is part of the bigger art and media revolution out of Dallas, that includes art, music, lit, film, media, and a lot more.

6.  Postism online: Online artists are the new wave of art. We had all the isms of last century. Now we have a free for all, of all kinds of artists, that are not sanctioned by any museum or gallery, displaying their work. Out of that comes the next wave and revolution of artists.

Last century the goal was to fit the ism. This century the goal is to do great art – no ism, no boundaries.  Fractionalized art then, synchronized art now. Even calling something modern art is a type of ism that separates that art from the art of the past.

The 20th century was a century of experimentation in art. Now in the 21st we can choose from all those styles and / or start one of our own.

Then too if someone devises a way to charge and collect a penny per view on a webpage, that would allow any great artist to get money for their art and have a career without any middlemen.

Duchamp broke ground 100 years ago - but now his clones are just shoveling dirt.  Weird art is easy, you put a strip of raw bacon across an expensive violin, but it's not good art.

Join the art revolution and pull the art world out of last century.

Musea since 1992.

I don't like 'incredibly unique' - a superlative can't be qualified. Incredibly meaning very is an ubiquitous, mindless meme.

They forgot to mention that Seurat failed in realizing his theory of color on canvas.
