Yes kenneth here again ! Good to here details often missing from other bio's of Gauguin , namely about his ear cutting and the time spent with Van gogh , the fact that they remained in touch by letter 7 finally that he suffered severe periods of poverty and hunger .
Good job with the wording for a young audience. A good example is why his wife needed him to leave. Plus omitting his questionable activities on Tahiti. Still, there's a quite a bit of strangeness. I am interested in HOW you wrote a age-appropriate bio on Caravaggio. Lol!! I will need to watch the one next.
@@mikeityike thanx for the reply! I know this may not be the place, but re: one of your other vids, Caravaggio has been deeply suspected of gruesome acts, himself, to aid in his artistic 'endeavors'.
Joan Miro and Rene Magritte are worthy subjects. And not so mentally challenged. It is important students do not equate artistic genius with suffering, depression etc. It leads to unnecessary trouble and destructive behavior in search of inspiration etc.
@@cherylcampbell9369 I try to expose my students to as many unsung s-heros of the art world as I can that have given us so many amazing works. One of my personal favorites is Lee Bontecou. I love her work.
Kenneth again . Mention of his health & sexual disease causing a dwindling of his well being ,the taking on of an offered wife or ( to become a pseudo muse of sorts because he spoke little tahiti language as did the girl knowing little english ) of aged 13 , demonstrates a clear connection with the primitive in him he wished to explore . But this as a ' noble savage ' approach which was noted to identify with anyway before he got there from his time spent peru ! We owe a lot to him for putting art amongst the people & less of the institutionalised version's promotion of the products of artists as seen in galleries & now beyond the reach of ordinarily placed admirers , meagerly financially endowed , & so of the general public fraternity .
Hi Kenneth, yes I would have loved to include a lot more information about Gauguin but these videos are for my jr. and sr. high art class students that have at best about 7 minutes of attention span. Those darned cell-phones really diminish their ability to focus on anything for more than a few seconds. Plus, I have to walk a very fine line about explicit sexuality issues and given the time constraints it seemed prudent to exclude some themes. Thanks for the feed-back, I hope you enjoy some of the other videos too.
@@mikeityike ¡ qué lastima! Yo no entiendo ni Inglés. Escrito puede ser. Hermoso video. Me gustaba Gauguin pero también Tolouse Lautrec,Vincent Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Manet, Picado, Klint, ,el muralista Diego Rivera, no entiendo de arte pero sus obras me hacen volar. Mondrian, Modigliani y muchos otros.
@@virginiaolivera3422 Hola Virginia, he intentado crear una copia de uno de mis videos con subtítulos en español. Aquí hay un enlace: th-cam.com/video/-Ht2cr54fok/w-d-xo.html Presenta el trabajo de uno de mis artistas favoritos: Maxfield Parrish. No hablo español (¡ojalá lo hiciera!), Así que tuve que usar Google Translate, así que no sé si la traducción es lo suficientemente buena. ¡Déjame saber lo que piensas!
Haha, sorry Kim, I'm stuck with the voice I have, combined with my dyslexia it makes it hard for me to read. I make these videos for my high school art class because I can't find suitable videos that are 1. Narrated 2. Short enough for their very short attention span 3. Not full of inappropriate material. I've never been compared to a crow before or is that a raven,,,I never could tell the difference. Take care, be well and maybe we'll see you again!

Gauguin did not die in Papeete, Tahiti, he lived in Iva Oha in the Marchesas from Sept 1901 to his death in May 1903
Interesting video clip about Paul Gauguin and a brief story of Vincent Van goah
the moon and sixpence...
I am an artist in my 60s, and I'm subscribing, for sure!
Hi Cheryl, I'm an artist in my 60s too! Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@cherylcampbell9369 right you are! I think his paintings of the Tahitian young women should be "Exhibit A" for the prosecution

Thank you for the great video! I was wondering what your sources were for this video as I would love to use the information for a research project
Left out the syphilis, and his sores. He was in alot of pain constantly,and could hardly walk
T.he cut off ear would fetch a fortune on E-bay

Is this the speaker you could find to narrate this video?
