OK, BA Honours in Drama and Communications here,... painter... WOW!!! This segment should be on every art college play list. AMAZING. It ties all of these luminaries together - in ONE painting no less!! It's true Philip - you and your son (and wife supporting I think) are a wonder! Amazing stuff. I'm a bit flabbergasted by this painting and the info surrounding it. But it does an amazing job of helping us understand how friendship, sharing, knowledge and nature come together and elevate all of us. Bravo!
Even though there is no human activity in the picture, it seems to have a joyous feel to it. Or maybe it's just me. The picture has a fascinating history. The photograph is a priceless bit of historical information. Once again, thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much. The peace and calm that exudes from your films is a balm to the soul. You have a gift for telling wonderful stories out of these objects. You make them ten times more interesting. It's so nice of you to share it all with us. From what I've read about that Bloomsbury lot and their ilk when people nowadays behave like that they are generally chavs,but not rich and artistic! Sorry my philistine side asserting itself. Back then I'd have been their scullery maid.
What an incredible serendipitous discovery. If you use Google satellite, it is possible that Morrells house is number 47 on Southend road in Garsington and that numbers 45, 43, and 41 Southend road are also seen in your painting. I believe the back section of number 53 is the brick section in your painting. It is very clear of the love that you son Oliver has for your home through his choice of the beautiful pictures and superior editing for your introduction for each of your programs. Both of you are creating a great lasting treasure for all who have a love of art.
@@philipmould7898 Take a look at 49 Southend road, it could possibly be the barn, renovated into a house, and the gates thirty feet further to the right may be your blue gates. Garsington manor, Morrells home, may be the prominent house you mention in the painting, which is about a hundred yards down the road from 49 and 53 Southend road. Again, beautiful productions.
Our lives are full of these experiences if we take the time to notice. It’s really quite wonderful - as if time really isn’t just a continuum. The older I get the more I recognize things from the past that were right under my eyes that I never took the time to focus on. Time is really all about focus, smell, taste - our senses.
It is interesting how backed in 20’s and 30’s you can gather around together amongst your artists friends and have a intellectual discussion about ideas and current events. (love the old photos)
I recently rewatched Carrington with Emma Thompson and Jonathan Pryce. I’d first watched it in the 1990s in my very early 20s before I knew anything of the Bloomsbury set and now older and a bit more knowledgeable, I appreciated the movie even more. Your Art In Isolation series also made me appreciate the creatives depicted in that film even more. I think Carrington is probably the best movie or series about the group it’s definitely worth a watch or a rewatch.
A moment on time, with a mini-vacation into a painting, a story to unfold, and a little something to learn. Always a pleasure to see another video from you... Thank You. Have watch your other shows for years, you do a superb job.
Thank you for putting on such a fabulous series about art. My wife and I have enjoyed every episode and look forward to seeing more. Cheers and keep safe.
What a revelation , this provenance .And thank you again for a fascinating episode ! Always a pleasure to know there is another episode coming from your beautiful house full of treasures !
Thank you so very much! This series has been such a gift and your generosity of spirit, time, and creativity have made many evenings so much brighter and more interesting. We are getting by (in Pennsylvania) better than many but still it's been a difficult year. The art history, descriptions of techniques and informed view of the paintings have enriched our lives in the stressful short term, but will also stay with us the rest of our lives. Again, thank you Philip and Oliver (and the rest of your family - this is obviously a concerted team effort!)
I do appreciate these glimpes into the other side of paintings you do. I especially liked the photographs this time. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have those kinds of artistic communities now and equally for the artist's, at that time, to recieve the amount of monies that their paintings would often fetch, after their deaths, in auction and dealer houses. How an artists life could be so much improved.
I can imagine the twinkle in your eye Philip when you spotted the same painting over the fireplace in the photograph. Was also thrilled to read about the discovery you recently made of the Henri III portrait miniature. All the best!
thank you so much for giving us these beautiful insights into wonderful paintings, I am always waiting for the next one, there will never be enough for me.
How exciting to have found that photograph containing the painting or a version there of. He did a wonderful job of smoothly drawing the eye into the center of the horizon line.
Thankyou, brilliant ! I am very interested in Gilbert Spencer, especially as I lived for 5 years, in an old cottage on Hook End Farm, where the farming family the Adlers, had been gifted some of his sketches of the farm, as he prepared to make the large painting of Hook End Farm. I noticed years later the Royal Academy also has one or two paintings by him of woodland, fields and pathways on the same farm, which I was thrilled to see displayed at the R.A. one year. Hook End Lane is a hidden beauty spot in the ancient hills of Berkshire, and I keep my own little oil painting view of it from the cottage window, for 30 years ago. I sometimes go back to visit. I don't know how he discovered it originally as it is really tucked away. However the farmer who grew up there very proudly remembered him.
How fun is this! A mystery ‘solved’ as it were, hanging above your Telly with a story of it’s very own! How the mind would play on a wintry day just gazing at it’s form! Love, love your posts Philip Mould, stay healthy as you are already handsome and wise!
Thank you for another great story. I live in a 1920s bungalow and always take away something when I see a period interior. This time I see the earthy tones of the picture with the blue doors. I think I'm heading in the right direction.
This series continuing through our lockdowns has honestly been a gift for me, as soon as the opening music starts I feel myself relax - it’s like a duvet of comfort 😊. I just love it ....and Philip Mould....and Oliver’s filmmaking......Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou 🤗
A wonderful Video. It is really something to see all of of those famous people together. I really like the Painting. It has a relaxing quality. and it has a warmth too. Hi to the Beautiful Dog. She looks as though she ran out of the house out of excitement to get to the Snow before you could get her coat on. It made me laugh. Thank You for an enjoyable Video. Jeff
Wow! Just watched this one twice, and will again...What an interesting series of discoveries ; all due to the name Philip Morrell on your Gilbert Spencer painting. (Just based on the self portrait by Spencer’s older brother, I’d be curious to see more of his work). It goes without saying that the photos of 1920’s literary luminaries, (such as T.S. Elliot and Virginia Woolf) are of interest, but the one behind the lens-Lady Ottoline Morrell-really stood out! So iconic in the photo, and active in the portrait. She, too, could be interesting to research, starting with her first name, Ottoline, which I’ve never seen before. How great that you ended up with this painting (which literally has your name on it), “eight or nine years” after it first caught your eye. And now, after a bit of research, you’re able to share both the painting and its satellite stories, with all of us watching online. Thank you, Philip Mould-I really needed this reminder of serendipitous connection today: Through Art, through story, through this platform, and through this Pandemic.
It must have been thrilling to see the image in that photograph, taking pride of place above the fireplace. I live only about three miles from Garsington, so this episode was exciting for me, too!!
You have really succeeded in making a gift for us in isolation. I'm watching this on the "other side" of the lockdown in the US - people are just now revealing their faces in upper NY state - suddenly, the deep chasms between people are closing. I'm about to have a Vaccination Jubilee Dance Party in fact - planned months ago as an outdoor party - now it can be indoors too. Woweeee! Thanks for this great show! Warm regards Jennie
It’s amazing when you find the history of a painting. My husband once bought a photo of an Edwardian gentleman stood at the front door of his country home complete in plus 4’s 😁. He bought it for a few pounds from a vintage market for some strange reason. Imagine our surprise when visiting Cragside a year or so later, there hung in the main entrance was this same photograph only a much much bigger copy!😂😂
Love all the back ground on each artist and your description and ideas on all the paintings, I would just look at them and think they were lovely, but you bring each one alive !
That’s so fascinating! I think I’d be a terrible guest in your house as I would gazing around the room all the time at all your eclectic art works. Each one tells such an interesting story.
Another interesting story behind a painting. Read a good book beats watching Netflix. I'm enjoying Irene Nemirovsky at present in between watching these lovely videos. Thank you.
Always enjoy watching Art in Isolation and did have a giggle with the Netflix reference. Keep up the great work and stay safe and healthy. Regards from Down Under 🖼🎨🇦🇺🦘
Simply magical....only just today found your youtube account. How you demonstrate Art Communicates on sooo many levels, really quite fascinating, inspiring, and what a revelation to find in lockdown, or is it? Wonder if you have produced book's or video's on Your favourite artworks? I must check that out. You are surely an inspiration to us all. Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness and loving kindness in sharing your great passion for Art during these emotionally and physically testing times.
I have always considered you to be a man of wonderful artistic taste and exceptional scholarly approach to art that you transmit with ease to your viewers. Your taste also extends to the fact that you have a normal sized TV , an exception today judging by the number of households with Odeon sized screens adorning their walls !
Oh what a wonderful painting..and your frame is far better than their choice too. It could be the setting for Downton Abbey..which I believe the village was filmed in Oxford ...I think 🤔. Thank you for another great episode.
That is a nice painting. And, fascinating backstory through Google searching. Seeing that photo with the painting on the wall with the people standing around is is a great backstory. And then, you wonder what trip that painting took from that time on that wall to now being on your wall. A very interesting video. Thanks.
What a Fascinating story and thank you so much for all the beautiful portraits and wonderful old photos .I met Dorthy Brett a long time ago in Taos, New Mexico
I have to admit I was overly keen on the painting and had to agree that like many others was more aware of the works of Stanley Spencer. However, to hear the history behind the painting and all the people he mixed with I was blown away. Oh to live at the time of Siegfried Sassoon, Virginia Woolf, Sackville-West. Have to say surprised to hear you watch Netflix Philip! Desperate measures in times of lockdown?
Un excellent tableau,j'aime bien ce genre de peinture.en passant,cela est dommage que l'on ne voit plus vos émissions de télévision sur les recherches de ''faux ou fortune'' ,car c'était d'excellentes émissions sur l'Art.Difficile de trouver ces émissions en langage Français. Une très bonne continuation pour vos projets,vive les Arts et portez-vous bien avec ce covid. 🎹Théret Jean-Luc.
Philip I could listen to you each day! Thank you for your lectures and knowledge.

Talk about perfect provenance. Always a pleasure Philip and Oliver...
Love the old fire place Philip, always makes a room feel real, homely and befitting good company and fine paintings.
Thanks! Agreed.
Thank you Phillip for another wonderful discussion on a favourite painting. Thank you too Oliver for your gems.
Thanks!
Even though there is no human activity in the picture, it seems to have a joyous feel to it. Or maybe it's just me. The picture has a fascinating history. The photograph is a priceless bit of historical information. Once again, thanks for sharing.
Always a pleasure to spend time with you Philip
Take care and stay safe
I just noticed that the Art of Isolation series is back again. How wonderful! Thank you Philip & the team, and stay safe.

Haha - different times different expectations! Thank you for your kind words.
Great story! Wonderful painting! The gate and sky are a lovely balance, just lovely, thank you✨🕊🙏🏻🌹
How fascinating that you found a photograph of a copy of this painting (or the original) in the artists' drawing room. What good luck!

Take a look at 49 Southend road, it could possibly be the barn, renovated into a house, and the gates thirty feet further to the right may be your blue gates.
Garsington manor, Morrells home, may be the prominent house you mention in the painting, which is about a hundred yards down the road from 49 and 53 Southend road.
Again, beautiful productions.
How fabulous that the similar painting was at the heart of the manor.. How superb! What great countenance! ❤️
What a marvellous bit of storytelling
Thanks. The art does the hard work.
