In short videos, Barnes curators, scholars, and educators present off-the-cuff musings about some of their favorite works in the collection. Take a break during these trying times, and refocus your mind on something calm and nourishing.
On-site or online, our commitment to art education endures. Help us continue bringing the Barnes collection to communities near and far by supporting our Annual Fund: bit.ly/barnes-annualfund
The Barnes Foundation is dear to my heart. A visit to it long ago was formative to my life as a young artist. I was nervous to see it in it's new location, but the adherence to original installation organization, perfectly, has really kept its identity and performance in tact, other than neighborhood location. Thank you for the beautiful analysis, including some of his educational intentions in assembling the collection.
Barnes Take Out is so awesome!!! I watch it every day as I eat lunch in my studio - I love the different personalities of the presenters, the real-peopleness of their demeanor, and the wonderfully balanced content of art history, analysis, historical/biographical artist info, and what Dr Barnes might have had in mind, ie. in the room - SO great, and just the right length (15-20 min) . As I reduce my screen time as 2020 continues, this is one I will NOT eliminate. Thank you :-)
Wonderful presentation, Kaelin! I loved the way you brought in discussion of the second painting and the train connection. Fascinating!
Thank you Kaelin. I appreciate how the two Cezanne paintings correspond with each other. A journey taken by one's eye.
Being able to get this very close up views is the most wonderful part of these “ take outs.” They closeup visuals help me understand so much more clearly the many subtle elements of the paintings.
Thank you for your expert use of the cursor and zoom feature, to help me take in so many of the distinguishing features of this painting.
love that you considered other works on the walls. The display choices are simply fascinating to us! Thanks for including!
Thank you for an insightful look at this fascinating painting. I was surprised, through, at the omission of any mention of the impact that Japanese graphic art exerted on Cezanne’s style & subject matter. His countless renditions of Mont Sainte-Victoire are indebted to the many series devoted to Mount Fuji by Katsushika Hokusai, as indeed much of Impressionist & post-Impressionist art owes its inspiration to the style and spirit of Japanese woodblock prints and brush painting. Aimed at a general audience, it would seem that educational videos like this offer an excellent opportunity for pointing out the importance of Japonisme in transforming Western art.
That's a very good point, Lynn!
Thank you for a wonderful session, it brought back a great memory of Pond du Gard.
Excellent presentation Kailin. I never saw the parallel of the mountains forms repeating in the left as well in the landscape on the right! Wow!!
Thanks, Kaelin! It’s good to see Mont Ste. Victorie again, from a different perspective (vis a vis his Bathers, seen earlier in this series). Please continue this marvelous series.
Most enjoyable talk... it felt as if I was there. And it was so refreshing to feel this during this quarantined time. Thank you!
Thanks, Kaelin. I liked the way you dissected those interfaces between landscape elements. I never looked that closely at a painting like this before.
I enjoyed your presentation tremendously as you bring alive Cezanne’s incredible portrayal of this scene. Dr. Barnes has created balance on this wall and the connection between the two paintings would not have been apparent to me had you not explained it so clearly. So enjoyable, thank you!
Loved this talk! Great Job Jaelin!!
Love the details you provided. Very cool, thank you.
Yes, there are lots of ways to look at the mountain Cezanne painted. We, me and Sharon, hope you will keep informing us of them. Your presentation was wonderful. Cezanne always challenges the viewer, seeing the viewer as a friend and adversary. I have limited knowledge and constantly confront him. My art is portrait photography, a visual tool he eschewed, despite being a fabulous portraitist and self-portraitist. And he and I both share madness. Thanks.
Very interesting talk, thank you. I would appreciate more discussion of the artworks in the midst of other works of art and the relationships between them.
Is this an ancient scene? Is it modern? What a lovely and engrossing ambiguity!
Congratulations to the Barnes for their brilliant daily "takeout" idea. Most other museums during this time seem to just be showing previously shown videos.
I especially loved this one on Cezanne because of the speaker's delving into the timelessness of the painting. For example, she mentions the artist's interest in Virgil, and how the "bridge" might be a Roman aqueduct or a more recent train bridge, which exists today. Her comparison of the painting to the photograph also reveals how Cezanne altered "reality" from the "real thing."
I also appreciated how she discussed the painting in the context of the entire room. I would love to have more of this in other takeouts as someone else commented. Why is the Manet in the center?
thank you for making this painting come alive. i cannot wait to see it again in person
Wonderful. I loved the way you related it to ‘Gardanne’ with both shape and color palette.
Such a real treat to be able to "travel" to the Barnes Foundation to view this incredible work by Ce'zanne. Kaelin Jewell's offerings in interpretation of the landscape are so solidly informative, too! The small buildings in the picture seem to be an early depiction of what would not a few years later be known as "Cubism"--at least that's what I'm seeing. Thank you for this!
Perhaps Cezanne's omission of the cross on the summit was an attempt to imply the possible timeless quality of the scene.
Thank you for this wonderful talk. I really enjoyed seeing the entire ensemble and also liked the comparison of the painting to the photograph of the mountain.
I adore Cézanne !
I live near Aix en Provence
I copied 3 works of the painter : Nature Morte aux oranges, Nature morte à la trompette and Mont Sainte Victoire ( the other one)
So interesting. Thank you,
It’s interesting that the painted landscape is very “soft” (nostalgic?) compared to the rugged mountain. The mountain is a faulted Jurassic limestone anticline and the rock is highly eroded and textured. He painted it without giving any sense of the rough texture.
Yes, I was thinking it truly is a very sensual painting, more like a "model" or "flesh" mountain. Wonderful approach to landscape.
What are those metal things on top of the paintings??
Hi , you seem to be knowledgeable about the artist . I have a rather large picture of a landscape with trees . I think it's simply gorgeous ❤️ . But it's not signed . I know it's an old piece of art . Because the glass that was protecting the picture was not from our time era . I could tell because it had small bubble's in the glass and the glass looked kinda wavy on the edges and corners of the glass . But it got broken as time went on . But I've always had wondered who could of painted this picture . And it's not painted with paint neither . I believe it's done in pastel which I think might be a chalk or maybe charcoal colors . I don't know what the artist used . I wish I could find out who the artist is . Help ! Please .
