From 1916-17, Henri Matisse produced two paintings from exactly the same point of view, both showing his son, Pierre, at the piano. 'The Piano Lesson' and 'The Music Lesson' might share a subject, but they couldn't be more different. In this essay, I look at what we can learn about Matisse and his family from these works, and consider how he thought about and painted music.

very interesting, best thing I've learned today.
Thank you Lauge!
Incredible. I always learn something new from your videos, even if (or perhaps especially when) I think I know the artist or the work. Thank you so much. Every single one of your videos is so impeccably produced and eloquently voiced. We don't deserve you and yet here you are.
Thank you Mark. This comment has made my day! I’m really enjoying doing them, and it’s made all the easier by reading kind comments like this one.
I am obsessed with the detailed analysis in The Piano Lesson, but I wish there can be more focus on The Music Lesson. Great work!
When you realize the picture of the statue at 6:17 was there since 5:40...
I love the editing in these essays.
I love this channel. I have no technical knowledge of music but I’ve always been intrigued about it but I find a lot of music youtubers a little hard to watch sometimes due to the technical knowledge they sometimes have to explain. These videos feel like storytelling!
Rêverie is my favorite music piece of all time. Thank you so much for this.
I love it and thought it was perfect for the tone I was looking for. Thank you for watching.
What a wonderful video! You articulate your perspective very well; thanks for sharing
Thank you Nic! Have a great day.
Outstanding. Truly excellent work here.
His cut out work is filled with musical expression
Big congratulations for hitting 10K!!! You really deserve it! With this video and the one or two others you've made, I'm actually becoming more interested in art. You've definitely helped to present the ideas of artworks in a more digestible and relatable way for me (the links with music are particularly effective).
Thanks Max! I'm glad you're getting more interested in art!
Keep making these videos. The quality of your content is EXCEPTIONAL. If you keep at this for a few years and slowly find ways to get the word out about you, then you could easily become one of the most important assest to art education on earth. Keep at it!
Your way of presentation is great thank you 🙏
Dude, who are you? These videos are outstanding.
Thank you!
Love it! Never realized I was a Matisse fan! I've seen that dancer painting on my Dover Rite of Spring score for years now, never realized it was a Matisse!
Excellent! That painting is often associated with RoS.
i love your channel!!! greetings from chile
Wonderful, you are exceptional ✨✨✨
This analysis video of yours regarding Matisse and his painting reminds me of some of the interesting points made in Stephen Sondheim's and James Lapine's 'Sunday in the Park with George', even though this musical is about a fictional Georges Seurat.
Cool graphic style here, like one continuous shot. You keep bringing in new and great aesthetics on this channel, I love it!
Your videos connecting art and music makes me wonder what would result from a music-painting telephone game where a musician writes a piece, then an artist listens to it and paints the music, then a musician writes a piece of music based on the painting, and it goes back and forth. Do you know if this has been done before?
Thank you - took ages to create the gallery. It's actually all internally consistent i.e. it's an entire gallery that I created and then added the camera movements. Interesting idea about the app - I'm not sure! Maybe you should make it?
Thanks for this excellent essay. I'm enjoying your videos, which are really well-produced and full of fascinating content. I'll be back for more!
You're very welcome!
Cool! Love the idea of painting music. Whenever I compose I imagine a painting that goes with it.
That's very interesting - do you have synesthesia? Do you see colours as well?
@@ListeningIn No, but I find that having a clear mental image helps me better use imagery and capture the tone colour of my ideas. I wish I could paint, I definitely will learn one day so I can paint an accompanying portrait for my pieces. I loved your video, such high quality and effort. You will be a household name for music and art theorists alike soon enough!
It's funny, because I've actually tried some painting to accompany my compositions, but it wasn't (to put it lightly) very good! You will probably be a lot better than me. It was definitely an interesting exercise - trying to access different parts of your creative brain. Thanks for watching.
There is an indisputable overlap between different forms of art. A musician can learn from cinema, paintings, architecture, literature, etc.
I adore your videos.
Well done! Students should be encouraged to study optical illusions, particularly Josef Albers’ actual vs. factual color theory lessons. #psychophysics
great video but i feel that the content strays from the thesis somewhat. you explain more of how matisse paints the psychology behind the playing of music, rather than how the substance of music is portrayed through painting. Kandinsky, Cezanne, Picasso or Mondrian seem to be more fitting subjects for such discussion
Fair enough. As it happens I had a different tile (the one it’s now changed to) but I thought ‘How Matisse Paints Music’ might be more appealing. Should have stuck to my initial title! Thanks for pointing this out.
Definitely Kandinsky! His synesthesia explains his art. As a musician I can “hear” the music of his art. I also have a similar experience when I read lyrical poetry and prose. It’s very musical-the rise and fall of the words, the emphasis on certain words or syllables, the ebb and flow of the words. This may sound bizarre, but it’s very much like Kandinsky’s synesthesia.
What is the music that starts at 4;25? I’ve heard it before but can’t remember for the life of me what it is.
Great video! Why were all the best artists such arseholes lol
