Working on the basis that only the examined life is worth living, this channel delves deep into the culture that has largely been forgotten in the endless "culture war". Just as good art helps you to look at the world differently, a combination of paintings, philosophy, literature, and poetry, is presented to help you see different facets of art.

"Rear Window" Ethics in a TikTok Time
มุมมอง 1.1Kวันที่ผ่านมา
An overview and context-provider for the first of 3 videos on Hitchcock's classic film "Rear Window". *Apology* - in an early slide, I attribute a quotation to Stella when it is in fact said by Lisa - doh! Big thanks to Trish for pointing this out in the comments.
Manet's Mirror

A deep dive into the social background of Manet's painting "A Bar at the Folies Bergère"
Vermeer's "Girl without a Pearl Earring" - The suspension of his belief
มุมมอง 9621 วันที่ผ่านมา
The significance of the fake pearl in Vermeer's famous painting is explored. Ironically, the fact that it is fake (polished glass) allows it, and us, to reflect much more on the sort of enigmatic questions only art can truly deal with.

Pissarro's Cabbage Field
มุมมอง 93หลายเดือนก่อน
A nostalgic appreciation of Pissarro's rural masterpiece drawing upon my urban childhood memories.
Mussel Memory - In Search of Lost Time
มุมมอง 123หลายเดือนก่อน
A deep dive into the classical Greek notion of ekphrasis via prehistoric art, Homer, Shakespeare, & Proust. I have used some long quotations alongside various images - hopefully, they work together to produce a different effect than either a painting or a written excerpt could achieve on their own.
Degas & Tolstoy
มุมมอง 112หลายเดือนก่อน
"The Bellilli Family" by Degas and how it illustrates Tolstoy's opening sentence in "Anna Karenina" - "Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему." All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
The most boring painting ever? - Menzel's "Balcony Room"
มุมมอง 85หลายเดือนก่อน
Adolph Menzel's deceptively simple painting is explored to demonstrate how much complexity can reside in the apparently simplest of paintings.
Van Gogh & Sartre
มุมมอง 232หลายเดือนก่อน
A look at Van Gogh's very last painting "Tree Roots" in relation to Sartre's description of Roquentin's existential crisis when he looks at the roots of a chestnut tree in the novel, "La Nausée"

An introductory video (first of a series) that links Vermeer's famous painting to the theme of Narcissism.
