"Personally i make art because...*sigh*... I don't know why i make art." that was my favorite phrase in this video XD i don't know why it made me laugh
It has, and it exposes the main reason Monalisa is the most important painting in Reinascence Art. The technique called sfumato was a revolutionary idea to reproduce nuance of light and shadow, by mixin of different pigments, which is essentially important to recreate a subtle face expression, (or the absence of it.)
When I was little all the kids my age told each other that the Mona Lisa was special and had some sort of strange optical illusion that made her eyes look right at you no matter where you were. Now, years later, I'm only half sure this isn't true.
Machiavelli and Da Vinci actually conspired to reroute and steal the Arno river in the background of the painting, but when several workers were killed in the attempt they went their separate ways. Machiavelli left politics and wrote The Prince, and Da Vinci threw the river in his painting.
+Roos Vervelde he did it on purpose in order to make the left side look bigger, therefore enhancing the feminine within the painting. considering the Mona Lisa is of a hermaphrodite, and Da Vinci believed in the divine feminine, I think it's a pretty important mistake d:
@@jasjkdgerclynregret3272 Exactly lol. I appreciate the fact he does it all dryly and does not make a big deal out of his jokes like he expects you to laugh but people get his jokes bro trust me.
In order to paint you must first learn to draw, because drawing is understanding how to see. And you can't create without understanding what you see. And someone else once said "I don't paint, I draw with a brush instead of a pencil."
"You don't have to be good at drawing feet. At all. Not even a little bit. You can draw feet...really bad" 19:25 That part is funny AND encouraging, since all the toes I draw look like diseased caterpillars
Whenever I see your videos it feels like when you visit a friend's house, but he's an artsy dude. And then he starts talking about art and/or showing you his drawings and stuff. I like it
I really thoroughly enjoyed your humorous critique of famous artwork, especially coming from an artist like you. I have always found it bizarre that to "appreciate" famous artwork, we must take classes like art history (which I did and always aced) to be told what to think about them. I think there is a correlation between poetry at its height and "drawings/paintings": At one point, poetry was soooooooo popular like pop music. It was the rage at the time. Then people tried to complicate it so as to come across as intellectually superior to the others in order to outdo the other poets while others read more into the poems than was actually there. Suddenly, no one liked poetry the way it used to be liked and poets could not earn a living off of their work. This kind of art is the same way. If it's too complicated for the average Joe to understand, people are going to stop paying attention. So to try be "the best" at art isn't necessarily a good thing because it loses people.
I have another example of what I'm trying to say. My sons were wonderful and greatly promising composers of a type of rock music when they were younger, composing many songs before they were eighteen. Their songs had great hooks, carried great weight emotionally, and encouraged the listeners even possibly to step into the spiritual side of things to bring about a kind of worshipful attitude toward God while listening to it. Then they met a little twerp who thought he was "all that" musically because his grandfather was a famous pianist. He corrupted their art by telling them the chords needed to be more complicated. But in so doing, their work lost the simplistic beauty they originally had, feeling forced and not emotionally uplifting and freeing, losing what was originally great about it. After the loser burned them, several years later, they came out of that problem with music and once again began creating the emotionally and spiritually rich music they used to create and love.
So no one should have to explain art if it is really art. If it moves a person in whatever way emotionally, it's art. If not, it's practice. But what moves one person might not another. The saying that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is really applicable here. To complicate it just means there is something lacking inherently in the work itself. And so I enjoyed the tongue in cheek observations with regard to these famous works of art since the art snobs have way overcomplicated them as well as other works, corrupting many new aspiring artists so that they create things like a dot on a white canvas. Oh brother!
yeah, art is supposed to be the opposite of science. so putting art in "borders", linearizing it and making it scientific (basically telling artists and audiences what they should or should not like) should really be unappreciated in the art world. I mean there is technicality in art, and you can be taught to appreciate it, but I dont believe for a second that (for example) people should flock to the mona lisa just because it's supposed to be "beautiful" or what not
You are a fantastic teacher. The art world needs the pretension to go. Goodness all the cruel art critiques I suffered through. Hopefully you are the beginning to new art education. You are awesome!
I see what you are doing, Sir. Lulling us into this tongue-in-cheek banter, all the while giving us a solid art history lesson. Not to mention telling us it's alright to feel how we feel about a painting, giving us agency to have confidence in our own opinion. The little caveats of intrigue to lead us into thinking critically for OUURSELVES. Kudos to you! (And yes, I wrote this purposely in a somewhat "high-brow" manner) wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
i really didn't see this coming, but it's a great idea for a series! i thoroughly enjoyed this, hope you'll do more in the future. have a nice day, peter!
I have been watching your videos for about two years now and you have inspired me to make my drawings more abstract, yet I have just started painting and I would love for you to do more painting to help me get inspiration. Keep doing what your doing because I love your videos
"Personally, I make art, because... I don't know why I make art... She's got a big earring" taken out of context, this had me giggling :D keep doing all the things!
As someone who’s been struggling with bringing himself to create more art work, this video has helped me a lot. Since I seldomly create anything, watching your channel was making disappointed in myself, and also envious of you for always creating with your unique style almost every day. Anyway this was oddly inspiring because I do know that when I put my all into something I want to make I end up pretty happy with it. So I’ve realized maybe I just haven’t been inspired enough to make those types of pieces recently, and if that’s so then it’s okay, because if I can bring myself to create something when I know I feel like it’s right then I think I can be happier with myself. Thanks Peter…lol also your goofy little side tangents always crack me up
In life now and forever, always assume people are joking. They usually are. Likewise, you yourself should never take anything seriously and always be joking. You're welcome
Your thoughts on art are interesting to someone like me who has only a little formal training in art history. Even when I don't outright agree with you, your ideas are still interesting and well spoken. Your theory that the Mona Lisa's fame rests with its having gone viral after the theft is plausible. Though in some cases-the Vermeer and Munch, for examples-the fame legitimately rests in the art itself though perhaps in subtleties that might be beyond my reach. My friend Hugh Starbuck has written about Botticelli's The Birth of Venus. This is a Renaissance painting, which means it's at the beginning of the Western tradition of classical art, which in turn means it is one of the first if not THE first nude, and this in Florence where the Church literally breathed down the necks of artists. Botticelli got away with the nude because an important aspect of the Renaissance was the revival of the classical Greek and Roman texts that had been preserved in the scriptoria of Medieval monasteries. The classical writings preserved civilization through the slow-motion disaster of the Dark Ages, so their value was highly esteemed. The Greek and Roman texts naturally referenced the pagan gods, but the Neo-platonic movement of Renaissance Florence tolerated these gods not as gods per se but as symbolic values in allegorical works. The Greeks and Romans had used nude physically perfect specimens to represent gods. So, as an allegory, the Birth of Venus represents the awakening at puberty of love and sexuality in an adolescent female, which is why Venus is born full-grown: puberty in the 15th century marked the onset of adulthood. But, allegory shmallegory, any adult human male, even a priest, isn't going to care about the allegorical value of a painting with a naked woman in the picture. He's going to be into the nude human form. That conflict is the cutting edge of the eternal conflict between authoritarians, who have always sought to shame women for their bodies, and the artists, who have always realized that the concept of beauty has its origins in the form of the nude female (or perhaps in the nude human). Art exploited the Church's tolerance for nude gods with a series of reclining nude Venus paintings ranging from Giorgione in 1510 all the way to Manet's Olympia (1863). In that 350-year span of reclining nudes, the allegorical value of Venus became more and more lip service. By the time Olympia comes along, she's become a rather emo whore ready for her next customer. Starbuck's book, which explains all this much better than I can, is at a.co/g9NDNyT
"Your thoughts on art are interesting to someone like me who has only a little formal training in art history." May I suggest you shop around a bit more, then? As someone who has a great deal of formal training in art history, I can tell you there are much more worthwhile thoughts out there on the subject. And I'm not just saying this because his views are unconventional. I couldn't care less about convention myself. I'm saying it because his views are ill-informed.
EyeLean5280 oh of course I realize I've not got the brass ring yet, thank you, so of course I continue when I can with dozens of searches. "his views" meaning the guy in the video or High Starbuck?
Hey, Peter. It's been a while. But dang you've grown huge! 144k subs? I remember back when you had not even 200. The good old days, well you deserve it, keep up the good work
I saw The Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel last year and it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Seeing the Sistine Chapel was literally the only goal I set for myself when I was younger. I'm 16 and I have no more life goals. Nice.
Dani Siclari Absolutely! When I first saw the Ceiling of The Sistine Chapel my mind was figuratively blown away and I literally had a stroke. Humbling as it is awesome!
Hi Peter! I just recently started watching your videos, though I have seen quite a few already. I really appreciate your art and your sense of humor :D please make another one of these videos, just for fun, you got me laughing :) You're incredibly talented and it's a pleasure to watch you work :) Keep it up, my friend!
A cool fact is that the "parachute" and the God's part of the painting in The creation of Adam, actually represents the anatomy of a human brain, Michelangelo didn't belive in God so he painted it like saying that God is a human creation... Isn't that cool?
the one thing I love the most is about peter is how quirky and amazing he is. i always find myself laughing at his commentary and i just imagine him being one of my teachers and i know that if he was one of my teachers, he would've been my favorite
So.. new subscriber here, im not sure if you're being sarcastic or for real or you hop from one to the other hahha Also you sound drunk and like you're going to burp at any time lol
This is probably a weird comment but I stumbled upon one of your videos during a mental break from thesis writing and your voice is really relaxing. Really helped relax, de-stress and refocus. Thanks!
Munch is actually good but after seeing a whole gallery of his work in Bergen, The Scream was actually the most underwhelming. Same with Van Gogh, tourists gathered around sunflowers, when its not his best-possibly the most mundane, and there's great other stuff around in the van gogh gallery people just walk past like zombies. And the last supper was just really shit(at least in person nowadays), compared to basically every church in Italy-or art in the very same church.. There's a massive door in the middle of it and its always re-edited in pictures for colours.
and yeh, same with vermeer....his other work is actually great and stands out......girl with a pearl earing is just a boring nice painting, someone wrote a book about it or something. Dali is just a bad painter, technically even in the modern sense. He improved 500% when he used film and photography...
Nighthawks by Munch is probably my favourite painting ever. You should watch TheNerdwriter1's video on Nighthawks. Actually, all of TheNerdwriter1's videos
After listening to so many art lectures basically saying the same things and analysing these same paintings far too deeply it's nice to just hear someones unscripted thoughts and honest personal opinions on these paintings. It's also nice to just hear some well researched context about each of the individual paintings :)
The Mona Lisa is famous because it is one of the first paintings that explored the idea of foreground, middle ground, and background. Davinci was one of the first Renaissance artists to capture a since of depth.
The vanishing point in the last supper is actually a big part of why it was famous. It was considered revolutionary at the time, because people were still figuring out depth and perspective.
I want a starry night umbrella. T_T I saw it at an art museum shop. But it was on display only. And they only had the other umbrella. WHYYYYYYYYY? Starry night is my favorite painting! And this video brought back tragic memories!
Subbed. You make me laugh and get me into art a lot more. I've always been an artistic person, in music, cooking, baking, but visual arts is something that's missing in my life.
maybe im just cynical, but why does every painting have to have a meaning and a message behind it?it can never just be someones idea of a beautiful picture.maybe that's why I only like realism
John Adams To me art is a way to express and idea, and emotion, a story, etc. I love to find messages in art, in photography. dance, music, etc. To me it's not all about skill, but sometimes just about the story you are trying to tell.:)
While I do like hearing the artist's thoughts, reasons, and meanings behind their work, I find others' interpretations a little nonsensical and pretentious. Some people have to look for meaning in everything just to justify why, for example, an okay picture of a plain woman sitting down is "so amazing".
I think one of my favourite things are ‘The Girl with the Pearl earring” is how the earring is actually just two smudges of paint, like, just wow. It’s a really good show on how paintings utilise illusion, idk, i just really like it🤷♀️
"Personally i make art because...*sigh*... I don't know why i make art." that was my favorite phrase in this video XD i don't know why it made me laugh
TowerProductions i can relate lol
For an instant it looked Peter would finally settle the Plato vs Aquinas feud. It fizzled.
His follow up and redirection is just as funny. ......shes got a really big earring.... lol
I never EVER noticed that the Mona Lisa had a veil. That's so trippy.
Same here!

Mandela effect
@@ricardorochadev I think the mina lisa as a man and a woman.
From one angle she is smiling and from a different angle, she's not.
Not same here.... I always knew
When I was little all the kids my age told each other that the Mona Lisa was special and had some sort of strange optical illusion that made her eyes look right at you no matter where you were. Now, years later, I'm only half sure this isn't true.
Did you notice that the two parts of the horizon don't line up? One is higher than the other. Pretty awesome mistake for such a famous painting.
A mistake easily avoided by drawing her headless.

not sure... is this a comedy- or an artchannel?
xelsor art requires high IQ, high IQ likes humor, art without a bit of humor isn't art. I think.
i take that comment is comedy as well?
Da Vinci, not Di Vinchi
what if he did, like inception innit.

i hit subscibe the moment you said "if they chopped off her head right here and i could see more of the background..."
My favourite part is all the unnecessary camera angles
Yup, that *painting* was really well *drawn*
Well, to be fair, most paintings have drawing at their foundation.
Of course, that's completely understandable.

My teachers always said painting is drawing.

He has my sub.
"You don't have to be good at drawing feet. At all. Not even a little bit. You can draw feet...really bad" 19:25

Athletes foot has been the bane of man since the invention of boots! Now that I think of it, sometimes my toes feel like hairless catapillars.

Great channel. I love his sense of humor.
This channel is a gem I’m so happy I found it
I love your voice so much, it makes me sleepy so I watch it before I sleep
peter! all your videos are so pleasant and calming, the way you speak is poetry to me.
So.. new subscriber here, im not sure if you're being sarcastic or for real or you hop from one to the other hahha
Also you sound drunk and like you're going to burp at any time lol
I am almost always riding the crest of a burp and sarcasm. And welcome.
***** Haha keep up the good work.
+Peter Draws HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
this is hilarious
You ARE new! ✌🏼
This is probably a weird comment but I stumbled upon one of your videos during a mental break from thesis writing and your voice is really relaxing. Really helped relax, de-stress and refocus. Thanks!
Munch is actually good but after seeing a whole gallery of his work in Bergen, The Scream was actually the most underwhelming.
Same with Van Gogh, tourists gathered around sunflowers, when its not his best-possibly the most mundane, and there's great other stuff around in the van gogh gallery people just walk past like zombies.
And the last supper was just really shit(at least in person nowadays), compared to basically every church in Italy-or art in the very same church.. There's a massive door in the middle of it and its always re-edited in pictures for colours.
and yeh, same with vermeer....his other work is actually great and stands out......girl with a pearl earing is just a boring nice painting, someone wrote a book about it or something.
Dali is just a bad painter, technically even in the modern sense.
He improved 500% when he used film and photography...
Nighthawks by Munch is probably my favourite painting ever. You should watch TheNerdwriter1's video on Nighthawks. Actually, all of TheNerdwriter1's videos
Sam Collins as in the one by Hopper or is this something else?
jorgepeterbarton The channel is TheNerdwriter1
@@jorgepeterbarton Yeah, it's hoppers'
Your voice and attitude is just plain relaxing, I feel like I'm in the library :)
Keep up the good work! All the best
"Personally I make art because... I don't know why I make art..."
It's fun to hear your thoughts on these topics. I'd be interested in seeing more videos like this!
22:13 I'm so glad he didn't start talking about the brown painting after American Gothic.
This is my favorite series by far
WHAT AN AWESOME VIDEO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK PETER
13:18 I love how done he is xD And the way he strokes the paper with resignation omg
After listening to so many art lectures basically saying the same things and analysing these same paintings far too deeply it's nice to just hear someones unscripted thoughts and honest personal opinions on these paintings. It's also nice to just hear some well researched context about each of the individual paintings :)
Please make a part 2!! I love this video of yours :)
I'm hoping that some day there will be a VR tour of the Louvre and the Chicago Art Museum....
The Mona Lisa is famous because it is one of the first paintings that explored the idea of foreground, middle ground, and background. Davinci was one of the first Renaissance artists to capture a since of depth.
I absolutely love this, Peter :)
Love this commentary, cant wait for part 2 Peter!!
Some people do not understand your sense of humor. blows my mind
I think this is AMAZING!!! Your opinions are SENSATIONAL!
what a wonderful show i just watched. you are hilarious, i laughed so much. thank you for being you. ;)
10:13 love your casual humor
I've never seen Woody Allen so relaxed
vizibongo you're the opposite of funny and/or likable. Stop existing please
that sounds about right, what A childish comment. But I guess your parents never taught you to think before you speak. 🤔
I thought it was funny.
IT was a funny comment tbh
Really enjoyed this video. Can't wait for the next one :)
13:14 "personally I make art because... I don't know why I make art"
He sounded so sad..
Was having a crap day and this cheered me. You're a gem, PD!
211,000th subscriber here, I like your vids keep it up!
"personally i make art cause... idk why i make art" lol that part made me sad...
The vanishing point in the last supper is actually a big part of why it was famous. It was considered revolutionary at the time, because people were still figuring out depth and perspective.
I'm dying to know. What printer did you use to print so big?
I went to a print shop
Do they sell big printers there?
why not just write on a piece of paper why waste your time and money for a print
"the disintegration of the persistence of memory" is my new favourite piece of art ever, thanks for introducing it to me
I want a starry night umbrella. T_T
I saw it at an art museum shop.
But it was on display only.
And they only had the other umbrella.
WHYYYYYYYYY?
Starry night is my favorite painting!
And this video brought back tragic memories!
Subbed. You make me laugh and get me into art a lot more. I've always been an artistic person, in music, cooking, baking, but visual arts is something that's missing in my life.
Girl with a pearl earring is my favorite painting. I don't know why, but it's so mysterious.
He is unusually funny for some reason. I know about all these paintings but his take on them is hysterical.
13:26 I love how distressed he is.
I love your creativity and these videos are the reason I subscribe we need more channels like this.
maybe im just cynical, but why does every painting have to have a meaning and a message behind it?it can never just be someones idea of a beautiful picture.maybe that's why I only like realism
John Adams To me art is a way to express and idea, and emotion, a story, etc. I love to find messages in art, in photography. dance, music, etc. To me it's not all about skill, but sometimes just about the story you are trying to tell.:)
I agree with you idea that it doesn't need meaning. But abstract art amongst others can also be very beautiful in itself ...
Because empty beauty is boring. But that's just my taste, i can see why people like realism tho.
While I do like hearing the artist's thoughts, reasons, and meanings behind their work, I find others' interpretations a little nonsensical and pretentious. Some people have to look for meaning in everything just to justify why, for example, an okay picture of a plain woman sitting down is "so amazing".
It could but it doesn’t have to. It depends on what approach that you want to take with art.
I think one of my favourite things are ‘The Girl with the Pearl earring” is how the earring is actually just two smudges of paint, like, just wow. It’s a really good show on how paintings utilise illusion, idk, i just really like it🤷♀️
Never noticed it before, but close up it seems Judas is already holding the bag of coins he sold jesus for later on. Interensting.
R2 very very interensting
Didnt he tell Jesus about it and He was ok with it.
You are a massive inspiration and I've known about your channel for around 30 minutes
This video makes me want to write lots of pretentious stuff, so here goes: lots of pretentious stuff
There you go; let it all out :)
You lofty scoundrel, you.
Me too
* Pretentious comment *
I would love to see more of this, it was great!
