This was a much appreciated video. I have long admired Dix, never really knowing the whole story of his fighting in WW I and what might arguably be one of the greatest socio-political anti war painters of modern times. I just saw the Academy Award winning film All Quiet On the Western Front which immediately brought Otto Dix to mind and again I returned to his work to reflect on. A profound talent and equally talented communicator. It’s no wonder the Nazi’s were fearful of him. His works speaks only the truth and horror of fascism and war.
@@ArtHistorySchoolI have a very tiny painting by him but it is not from his famous German Expressionist era... it is most likely after that when his life was in danger and he had to stop doing that kind of artwork . It's a lovely tiny Seascape and it's absolutely flawless , really perfect ... it almost looks like a color photo .
I didn’t know much about Otto Dix; now I do, thanks to your excellent, well edited, with a real human reading the narration. So tired of AI already . I was familiar with the Sylvia painting from an Art History class; but did not know about the triptych featuring the trench, and all the hellish experiences of WW1. I will start a new board on Pinterest and pin absolutely everything I can get on Otto Dix. Fascinating artist!
I am amased by many great artists from the past ; not only because of their great art , but also because they kept on going with it allthough they experienced incredible bad circomstances .
I have heard of Otto Dix, I knew nothing about him or his art. I really enjoyed this video, what an amazing artist!! I now want to know more about him and his work! Thank you Paul to introducing me to an artist I feel I will like a lot!! I hope you are well, I love your videos and have recently been binge watching them ^_^ thank you again for a great video on an artist I wish I;d known about before!!!
Brilliant, literate presentation of a brilliant artist. His highly realistic depictions of war still resonate today. Der Krieg is the visual representation of Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun.
@@ArtHistorySchool Yes, check it out. JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN is (along with ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT) is one the the greatest anti-war books ever written. Dalton Trumbo was an extremely interesting character. Highly paid screenwriter and then blacklisted for his refusal to 'name names' before HUAC.
Artist Genius. And this extreme expression... It's something extraordinary and amazing. This influence appears clearly in contemporary artists who use equally brutal expressions. You can feel it.
Great stuff as usual , what a time to be around . But not the most pleasant as they say , I’m often of a mind if only he had experienced a less volatile period of history . Yes of course we would be denied his sense of time , but his ability to paint is so fundamental that I struggle to condemn his ability just to circumstances of history . Best wishes and kind regards as always 😀👍👍👍
I always look forward to your videos'. Is Turners life so boring it's not worth mentioning, or do you dislike him ? I will be patiently waiting for your next one. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Thank you for sharing your energic videos, you should do one of colombian artists, Fernando Botero, one of his sons died decapitated, greetings from Colombia
Very interesting artist, and the portraits of people were so sharp in detail. The eyes were very dark as if they had seen too much bad in their lives. As if they can't close their eyes to all the pain brought to their home land by war. Mr. Dix sure lived in interesting places in at the worst times.
Difficult to like. I've read a lot about him and admire him as a painter, particularly the Weimar Era portraits. However, I can't say that I would miss much of his work if it suddenly disappeared. Much of it is just plain ugly and, quite frankly, off putting.
Yes, his art is difficult, but like all great artists he was very much influenced by the life around him, which for most of his life was ugly, horrific and extreme. He had a lot of guts to paint as he did. Cheers
The fact he willingly, very enthusiasticly participated on the front line because he wanted to see truth, brutally. He never shyed from seeking it out.
There are two versions of this video. The first one TH-cam deemed to be 18+ and therefore withdrew Ads from it. The second version has all the controversial images removed /replaced and Ads are displayed. I earn my income from these videos via the Ads.
@@ArtHistorySchool I was the one who had to bail out after 8 minutes last time on the old version. You were very supportive. I’m sorry you had to redo it. But we all definitely need you. BTW, I did not report you to U-Tube, if one can do that, I was born in France and am very liberal in every sense when it comes to others. I worked in an art gallery on Via Monte Napoleone in Milan which specialized in Dada art (Arp/Duchamp) and studied sculpture with Marino Marini at Brera.🤸🏼 Well, sorry you had to redo, Sir, because all artists are not Renoir. We all look forward to your next masterful presentation. Thank you.
That's very kind of you. Thank you for your support. I don't think it was an individual that contacted TH-cam , I think it was more likely Advertisers that complained, which I guess you can understand.. Thanks again. Cheers

I've seen the film too and it does make you understand why he reacted as he did.

This is a great series. Keep it up
Thanks, will do!
I really enjoyed this thanks. I was aware of Dix but what I wasn’t aware of was his beautiful spirit. Love and peace. Tim
Cheers Tim
Now I know wgy Schaufhaussen has some marvellous Dix paintings. Loved this.
Really pleased you enjoyed it. He is a much under-rated painter. Cheers
I just love your channel and videos. They’re wonderful and very engaging. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and personality with us all!
Thank you for watching, much appreciated. Cheers

Glad you enjoyed the video. Not come across Dalton Trumbo, I'll look him up.

@@jimw.4161 I've seen the film, brilliant. Not read the book. He sounds agreat character, I'll certainly look him up. Cheers

You certainly can.
Magnificent! If you allow me a request for a next video: Max Hermann Pechstein.
I'll add him to my list

Yes of course we would be denied his sense of time , but his ability to paint is so fundamental that I struggle to condemn his ability just to circumstances of history .

Cheers. It was amazing he could produce the quality he did knowing what he went through.
I always look forward to your videos'. Is Turners life so boring it's not worth mentioning, or do you dislike him ? I will be patiently waiting for your next one. Thank you so much for your hard work.
Turner is hardly boring. He's on my list but so are any others. Cheers
Great video thanks very much very enjoyable
Many thanks! Cheers
Thank you 🙏 🌸
I need the Arabic Caption for all of you videos please
I'll see what I can do check back in a few days. Cheers
@@ArtHistorySchool thank you 🙏🌸
Great ❤❤❤
Cheers
I particularly like his work.
He was a great artist.
Çok teşekkürler.
Rica ederim
What powerful work!
It certainly was.
Thank you for sharing your energic videos, you should do one of colombian artists, Fernando Botero, one of his sons died decapitated, greetings from Colombia
Glad you like my videos. I'll have to look up Fernando Botero
Thank you for your brilliant contribution to my education.
My pleasure. Cheers

Excellent coverage of this master, Paul. Thank you very much. 💖
You are very welcome. Cheers
Wonderful video! I only wish that the paintings would not be run that rapidly:)
Thank you! Cheers!
It appears weimar republic was a fairly liberal time?..
Yes, it was a very liberal time, but then the right wing fascists took over in 1933 and the rest is history.
Thank you for this video. I appreciate very much the inclusion of lesser known works by the artist. Well done!
Cheers
Brilliant!

They say art Is subjective. I've seen more interesting pieces in junior highschool hallways.
Art is subjective. When you experience real life you'll be able to appreciate, maybe not like, this art work.
