      t's completely unreal, isn't it. The film making in all the Waldemar stories is just awesome, and in every aspect of film making. . I have never seen anything like it. As well as everything else script, story, music, editing, he is a genius in front of the camera. That trademark looking over his shoulder to keep half your attention on the picture or the scene. And catch this character missing his lines, you don't. All except for one thing showing that Waldemar is just another small-minded progressive, the fork into Trumps photo. Small minded ugly and unecessary. Another Eurotwat .

    I watched the TV series "Impressionists Painting and Revolution" when it first aired in 2011 and I was hugely impressed with Waldemar Januszczak's efforts as a presenter. In fact, he changed my whole attitude towards art and what was boring and quite incomprehensible became very interesting and exciting with the help of Waldemar's enthusiasm and good storytelling skills. I love his approach to art such as that he sees great things in the smaller details and often focuses on the less obvious (and yet very obvious) that few have previously appreciated. To me, Waldemar is a wonderfully good communicator and presenter of art.

  • @tedclemens4093

    The juxtaposition of Simon and Garfunkel's "America" with the montage of small-town art at the end was brilliant. Waldermar needs to curate a traveling show of this whole documentary-art, props and music.

      I totally agree with your comment. His use of music throughout paired with the art was great. I have watched many of his documentaries but, until recently, they were all European art. I'm really enjoying his take on American Art. I docent at a University Museum and am always looking to learn more. I enjoy it immensely!

    Love Waldemar. His perspective is always fresh and thought provoking. Saw his series on the Baroque--I never understood it as the Catholic Church's sensuous, seductive answer to drab, plain Protestantism before. I wasn't interested at all in the art. seeing it through Waldemar's eyes made if fascinating. American art he discusses in this series, I love. I'm from the midwest; I've driven miles across the prairie in a snowstorm, I've tasted that Iowa corn, I've walked through those empty, devastated rustbelt towns. And I love this art. It is so profoundly American. Thank you WJ!

Grand Rapids is also a real surprise--great river front, restaurants and small shops. I was there before the pandemic and I hope it is the same as i was really surprised, being an eastern city person and loved staying there. Thanks again Waldermar for your insights. Series of 'dark ages' and impressionists was also the best of the art shows I have ever seen. Learned a lot about the evolution of the 'technology" of art materials that enabled the art styles and movements. Please keep making these shows!!!!!!!

    The Rivera murals in the Detroit Institute of Arts is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. It's almost worth a trip to Detroit to see. The DIA's surprisingly good collection and another world class museum, the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, make Detroit a must see stop on any museum lover's itinerary.

    Thanks, Waldemar, for these great documentaries. There are many I still need to see and I'm wondering if you visited the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota for you series on America? It is an amazing counterpoint to Mount Rushmore 30 miles away.

    I’ve done a few murals. Even if Rivera had assistants, the detail of his subject - and translating them into a wall, is mind boggling. Simply amazing.

    Again ... Out of the Park, GRANDSLAM. An Artist at Storytelling. Insightful, humorous and knowlegeable. A humble vagabond. Poetic expressiveness, befitting those Artist's passionate renderings!

    Once upon a time, in 80's or before...I have called for a book in an American Publc Llibrary at Montevideo. The book itself, "The Regionalists" told me about this great art movement, years before, at Gugenheim Bilbao Museum, I was surprised with a Regionalists' Exposition with Thomas Hart Benton a must ! - works. Now, finding Waldemar at You Tube, I completed the travel with an interesting information.....

    Wow, that post office in the beginning of this video looks just like the post office in Norway, Maine. Totally laid out the same! I don't go in much but will look to see if there's a mural on the walls in there.
