Waldemar is an amazing art storyteller. He makes me want to learn more. His love for art comes through in every word. He is, as his subjects, an artist himself.
Thank the art world for Waldemar Janusczak as I've never had the life to go to an art gallery and I'm not saying opportunity will never come but my health and mobility isn't so good now. Waldemar has brought art to me and explained the art/artist to me in such a cool way, I get it. Keep doing what you do as they'll be more of us outthere. ☃️👍🖼️🎨👨🎨
You can see a lot of virtual tours and exhibits in different museums all around the world. You can also go to Google maps street view and see holistoric cities all over the world. You don't have to go outside to see the art
Waldemar is a tour de force, a one man show, a light in the dank and dreary dungeon that could be described as the world of art. One of the few meaningful channels on YT with some intellect and substance. A rare find in such a narcissistic medium as TH-cam/ MeTube. Thank you Waldemar you've taken me places I've only aspired to travel or often dreamt about of visiting & embracing. I hope someday you can present your interpretations of our culturally rich and complex indigenous art throughout the ages in the Americas.
Imagine.. him being your friend. You walk around visiting galleries, and he educates and informs you along the way.. Oh wait, he is my friend. Right here on TH-cam ☺️☺️☺️ I take your hand and travel along..
I love this show! Even though I agree with some others that it is not two “old boys” - it is an older man and a young man. And the older man is not an “old man”, feeble and dependent - he is a middle-aged man, at the height of his power. I love the equation card game = life. The interplay of skill and experience with luck and creativity. What is the role of the divine in this? I have always loved Cezanne, but really knew nothing of his roots. I can really see how his sensibilities were formed by the stonework of the cathedral, the landscape, and the religion he grew up with. Some art history reduces the work to a jaded kind of analysis. Whether or not you agree with all of Waldemar’s interpretations, this video does the opposite - it illuminates the artist and his work. It is educational and a great piece of theater. Bravo, Waldemar!
Thank you. Had not seen the cave where Mary Magdalene is said to have lived. Would not have ever guessed The Card Players was religious art but now can see it. And I like your modified mohawk.
This is an awesome demo. I always had a problem with the acrylic drying too fast on the palette (even with slow dry medium). I eventually moved to oils. But its awesome to see this
I think that the research on Cezanne and his turn toward religion in his later years flows with observed psychology of many people. It is interesting that all the other books and videos neglected the "hidden" religiousity (especially Catholicism) of Cezanne is there. Never read or heard the vaulted arches in the bathers, but now it seems to obvious and more beautiful and depth. The Card Players as the Road to Emmaus gives me hope and a sense of Easter liberation in the modern world.

This was a lovely journey. Thank you, Waldemar. I do want to add, though, that the "banal" card players underscore to us that Cezanne was born into a luxurious existence, not needing to work at anything else, with a household and grounds staff to meet his every need (including serving as models) and a generous budget for paint and canvas, unlike poor Gauguin, who had none of that, and who died penniless. The card players were real people, people who worked hard and enjoyed their small bits of leisure, although in Waldemar's interpretation, they are reduced to illustrative, perhaps religious props, for a wealthy painter. Bottom line, though: I do love Waldemar's refreshing commentary!
I have often thought that medieval carving might have influenced Cezanne. The slabs of colour and his construction of space and solid structure. Linking him to cubism through Picasso. I wonder, are the box shaped houses in the Pyrenees and the aboriginal sculpture Picasso saw in the Palau’s du Trocadero the other two influences that make up the trinity of cubism and modernism.
@@joseffinat966 the cards that Waldemar and the other man use to "play" are actually the Tarot of Marseilles, one of the most antique set of tarot cards known today, from which the death card is also displayed at the end of the video (when he said "this is just one of them")
Now that I've watched this, I know a lot more about Cezanne than when I started, but I still think it's a bit of a leap to say that this is objectively what the paintings are about.
Courtauld Institute of Art - One of the best gallery collection of Paul Cézanne's artwork in London England Paul Cézanne (19 January 1839 - 22 October 1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th-century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne is said to have formed the bridge between late 19th-century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism. Born: Aix-en-Provence, France Why paint a card game? Saint Miter - A local saint who was beheaded - so now he is the patron saint of headaches 8:15
What is the song that starts playing in 3:24? I would really love to know, I have been trying to find the answer for couple of years already, ever since they showed this on TV here in Finland.
Best art historian ever. So...is there a Waldemar released a video alert app yet? I'd sign up ... Doesn't matter what it is. Could be a video on how to obtain a lady wife using a piece of cheese or an hour of watching paint drying... Sign. Me. Up. 😂😂
Nowhere in the NT does it say explicitly what Mary Magdelene's "sin" was, nor that she was necessarily a prostitute. Great series, this with Waldemar Januszczak, and we give thanks for it.
I watched a video where you talk about sculpture and its importance. Last week here in Boston MA we uncovered what was supposed to be the monument to Martin Luther King. I could hardly wait for it's unveiling. I have kept my disappointment to myself until this moment. Yes, i know nothing about art except for the feeling it evokes in me. The city of Boston paid $10,000,000 it.
Thanks Waldemsr, you’re always compelling but I’m not convinced by the way you connect the themes, interesting as they are. I wonder what Cézanne would have thought of this video?
I@angusmcmillan8981 think Cezanne would have liked it and said, "Finally, someone who sees me not as a nihilistic wastrel bohemian (akin to Gaugin), but a modern seeker in the ancient spirituality that has yet a lot to say to the modern world and sensibility."

Mary Madeline was never a prostitute, an edit, as *"admitted by the Catholic Church".* (that was another forcing of patriarch).

Interesting to call out the myths of her intimate relationship with JC as non-biblical but perpetuate the less flattering but no less non-biblical myth. Called her a 'prostitute one too many times. Couldn't get through it.
I love learning about artists and their works. Thanks for that insight. Please, however, check your history on Mary Magdalene as she was NOT a prostitute.
Another interpretation: It is a painting of an old man and a younger man, (not "two old boys")a father son relationship, a possible reflection of his own relationship with his father. Notice the different size hats and the more 'senior' is smoking a pipe - superiority vs inferiority. I suggest that The 'older' and the 'younger' men also reflect the inner turmoil of Cezanne between his younger self and his now older self. The 'older' man does not have much light on his face compared to the brightness and beauty on the face of the 'young' man. You either win or lose at the game of life - in Cezanne's case it is the 'Old Man' who will win because it is he who will die. While it was a 'younger' man who died (murdered) on the Cross. Theologically, God the Father and God the Son are the real players of human life.The shadowy figure (a milo de venus shadowdy look alike) in the painting behind them is the Holy Ghost who is passively (armless) overlooking the card game between the 'Father' and the 'Son', ultimately the game of life. Yes Cezanne became 'dark' in his later years because he lived by the theology and canonicals of a dark and frightening religion. I suspect that Cezanne was fearful that his final 'redemption' would be determined by a game of chance. The influence of this most dark of religions and the concurrent fear it generates in its followers is also depicted in Cezanne's very dark painting of Mary Magdalene who supposedly lived her final days determined by a patriarchal dark religion where being a man is far more powerful and important than being a woman. And this holds true today in the theology and canonicals of that still dark religion.

Hey People do you think that Cezanne really used Gothic arch from the front of cathedral for the position of threes in his bathers and the position for his card players, or is it just a Waldenars interpretation? 😊
Nee het duidelijkst is dat ene kerkje met die gestippelde olifant en Jesus in het geel ,op het borduurwerk heb ik die olifant met stippen op die olifant zitten twee figuurtjes en een op een Ezel dus drie in totaal en die poppetjes hebben ook een soort van een Fes op eigelijk een heel bijzonder borduurwerk en boven op de slaapkamer een groot borduurwerk voorstellend het paradijs ,dus hoe vreemd wil je het hebben je moet het gezien hebben daarom toeval bestaat niet ,ik heb het gewoon zoiets gekocht zonder bij stil te staan dat het een soort puzzel is die straks compleet is net zoogde een werk van iemand die een figuur uitbeeld een mooie vrouw die de liefde dans uitvoert voor Krishna die heb ik gewoon gekocht ook jaren terug omdat het in zwart/ wit was uitgevoerd dat vond ik mooi hangt alweer jaren aan de muur waarvan er 15 van gemaakt is en dit de derde versie ervan steeds als ik opkijk op de klok steeds heel vaak drieën zie verschijnen, zoals 333 of 331 / 31 / 53/ 3 ga zo maar door nee is geen toeval maar hoe werkt nou zoiets dit verbeeld je,jezelf toch niet deze cijfers of zoals het viooltje en zijn betekenis ( doodmoe wordt ik ervan )
Love and appreciate you! But... the dual thesis is really a stretch. I think 2 different vids would have been much clearer. 1 on the card players series and the POSSIBLE influence on C of the Gothic statuary and 2 on the Mary Magdelene painting and her supposed final years in the cave. To propose that of his hundreds, if not thousands of paintings of stoic faces, is absolutely directly attributable to the Gothic stues of his town church is a real stretch. Still love everything u do!!!!
Also, the title of his vid is disappointingly sensational. It implies that there was a cult that venerated Mary Magdalene and C was apart of this group or influenced him, and there are secret references to her and the cult in his works. Overall, the vid was a bit too ambitious and fell short.
Waldermar, I am held spellbound by your art history posts, they are informative and enlightening, I am in awe of them. But, your puffing and panting suggest that you should get yourself in shape, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy your convivial company for very much longer! I would suggest regular cycling.
Isn't it the case that card games and card playing emerged first in Provence in the late Middle Ages? And I think it was Tarot cards (as shown in this wonderful video). Weren't they (Tarot cards) associated with the legend of the Holy Grail? And isn't this legend associated with Mary Magdalene who, according to some narratives, took the chalice with Christ's blood and sailed (with Joseph of Arimatheia) to Provence? Pure guesswok on my part, I know. Would Cezanne have anything to do with it? Anyway, here is one of my favorite paintings of his.
I’m of more than two minds regarding all the comments that Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. On the one hand, what people in that time and place believed was that she was a prostitute. This is context in which Cezanne was working. Despite believing that she was a prostitute, the people there revered her. She is the patron saint of Provence. Jesus accepted her into his inner circle - this was radical just because she was a woman. Jesus set an example of compassion, kindness and love for everyone, even if their role in society was lowly and despised. Mary Magdalene symbolizes this attitude. She represents sorrow, devotion, faithfulness, endurance, love. If she was a prostitute, well, she was just trying to get by. If she wasn’t a prostitute, she was lucky. Either way, Jesus accepted her - he loved and respected her as an equal to men. If she is the patron saint of Provence, if this is their ideal - Wow.
This is a real stretch, a dislocating one at that. They say that a bricklayer would cut his bread with his trowel if he could get away with it. Januszczak manages to cut almost all of his bread with religion. It's an oddness that is almost refreshing, albeit somewhat misplaced.
Tarocchi is an ancient card game that bought the tarot deck to Europe, recorded as early as the 15th century. It and its variations are still played today in France and Italy. And the modern playing card deck is derived from this original tarot game deck.
Imagine the widest length of the Mediterranean and that would be the distance she would need to travel to reach France. It is an impossible journey, a ridiculous one really.
@@reuterromain1054 I agree. And all art from Egypt, South America, Iraq and Iran, Africa, and all other contries whose art has been stolen over the years, should have it all returned to their rightful homes.
@@enlightenedhummingbird4764 in a perfect world that’d be ideal.. problem is so many other countries have destroyed their own historical artwork, so if anything European museums are doing the world’s posterity a favor by professionally preserving art of all kinds.
I wonder if painting of the Mary Magdalene in the cave who looks like a man, which was painted when Cezanne was young, was a kind of self-portrait? His paintings became lighter as he got older, Waldemar said.
Just imagine of the thousands of paintings by famous artists hanging in the homes of so called royalty, aristocrats and very wealthy people never to seen by the public. It is ironic that these same artists were usuallly destitute. The ones we see in galleries are said to be stolen. Thank God for the thieves. The ones hanging in the homes of the rich were acquired by money from exploited peasants etc. How do you define theft?
Magdalene was not a prostitute.She taught the apostles too as she was very close to Jesus. St Peter was not pleased. In 2022 brilliant women are still trashed.
I took it as Waldemar describing the French lore, but that could have been made more explicit. This could be taken by people as justification for persecution of Jews.

Als dat de hand van God is ,zal ik jouw gelijk in geven 😊
Any new Waldemar documentarys coming up
Another interpretation: It is a painting of an old man and a younger man, (not "two old boys")a father son relationship, a possible reflection of his own relationship with his father. Notice the different size hats and the more 'senior' is smoking a pipe - superiority vs inferiority. I suggest that The 'older' and the 'younger' men also reflect the inner turmoil of Cezanne between his younger self and his now older self. The 'older' man does not have much light on his face compared to the brightness and beauty on the face of the 'young' man. You either win or lose at the game of life - in Cezanne's case it is the 'Old Man' who will win because it is he who will die. While it was a 'younger' man who died (murdered) on the Cross. Theologically, God the Father and God the Son are the real players of human life.The shadowy figure (a milo de venus shadowdy look alike) in the painting behind them is the Holy Ghost who is passively (armless) overlooking the card game between the 'Father' and the 'Son', ultimately the game of life. Yes Cezanne became 'dark' in his later years because he lived by the theology and canonicals of a dark and frightening religion. I suspect that Cezanne was fearful that his final 'redemption' would be determined by a game of chance. The influence of this most dark of religions and the concurrent fear it generates in its followers is also depicted in Cezanne's very dark painting of Mary Magdalene who supposedly lived her final days determined by a patriarchal dark religion where being a man is far more powerful and important than being a woman. And this holds true today in the theology and canonicals of that still dark religion.
Die beste man met witte hoed heb ik al paar keer gezien voorbij zien lopen bij mijn huis, en eenkeer ergens anders en wat mij opviel was zijn witte haar ( halflang plus baard) maar zelfs zijn ogen waren helder ( heel mooie trouwens en lachte ) te laat om te stoppen anders was ik het gaan vragen

10:12 The original stove was not there. 17:26 No, he did not sit there, it was near a pillar behind that area.
Hey People do you think that Cezanne really used Gothic arch from the front of cathedral for the position of threes in his bathers and the position for his card players, or is it just a Waldenars interpretation? 😊
Nee het duidelijkst is dat ene kerkje met die gestippelde olifant en Jesus in het geel ,op het borduurwerk heb ik die olifant met stippen op die olifant zitten twee figuurtjes en een op een Ezel dus drie in totaal en die poppetjes hebben ook een soort van een Fes op eigelijk een heel bijzonder borduurwerk en boven op de slaapkamer een groot borduurwerk voorstellend het paradijs ,dus hoe vreemd wil je het hebben je moet het gezien hebben daarom toeval bestaat niet ,ik heb het gewoon zoiets gekocht zonder bij stil te staan dat het een soort puzzel is die straks compleet is net zoogde een werk van iemand die een figuur uitbeeld een mooie vrouw die de liefde dans uitvoert voor Krishna die heb ik gewoon gekocht ook jaren terug omdat het in zwart/ wit was uitgevoerd dat vond ik mooi hangt alweer jaren aan de muur waarvan er 15 van gemaakt is en dit de derde versie ervan steeds als ik opkijk op de klok steeds heel vaak drieën zie verschijnen, zoals 333 of 331 / 31 / 53/ 3 ga zo maar door nee is geen toeval maar hoe werkt nou zoiets dit verbeeld je,jezelf toch niet deze cijfers of zoals het viooltje en zijn betekenis ( doodmoe wordt ik ervan )
Love and appreciate you! But... the dual thesis is really a stretch. I think 2 different vids would have been much clearer. 1 on the card players series and the POSSIBLE influence on C of the Gothic statuary and 2 on the Mary Magdelene painting and her supposed final years in the cave. To propose that of his hundreds, if not thousands of paintings of stoic faces, is absolutely directly attributable to the Gothic stues of his town church is a real stretch. Still love everything u do!!!!
Also, the title of his vid is disappointingly sensational. It implies that there was a cult that venerated Mary Magdalene and C was apart of this group or influenced him, and there are secret references to her and the cult in his works. Overall, the vid was a bit too ambitious and fell short.
I wonder if Picasso's Sleeper by the Shutters is based on Cezanne's Mary Magdalene.

Waldermar, I am held spellbound by your art history posts, they are informative and enlightening, I am in awe of them. But, your puffing and panting suggest that you should get yourself in shape, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy your convivial company for very much longer! I would suggest regular cycling.

Card playing isn't ""fun." It's a battle of wits and skills. Serious business.
Isn't it the case that card games and card playing emerged first in Provence in the late Middle Ages? And I think it was Tarot cards (as shown in this wonderful video). Weren't they (Tarot cards) associated with the legend of the Holy Grail? And isn't this legend associated with Mary Magdalene who, according to some narratives, took the chalice with Christ's blood and sailed (with Joseph of Arimatheia) to Provence? Pure guesswok on my part, I know. Would Cezanne have anything to do with it? Anyway, here is one of my favorite paintings of his.
The Card Players would now be sitting staring at their Smartphones.
“As two merge into one” INRI
I’m of more than two minds regarding all the comments that Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. On the one hand, what people in that time and place believed was that she was a prostitute. This is context in which Cezanne was working. Despite believing that she was a prostitute, the people there revered her. She is the patron saint of Provence. Jesus accepted her into his inner circle - this was radical just because she was a woman. Jesus set an example of compassion, kindness and love for everyone, even if their role in society was lowly and despised. Mary Magdalene symbolizes this attitude. She represents sorrow, devotion, faithfulness, endurance, love. If she was a prostitute, well, she was just trying to get by. If she wasn’t a prostitute, she was lucky. Either way, Jesus accepted her - he loved and respected her as an equal to men. If she is the patron saint of Provence, if this is their ideal - Wow.
This is a real stretch, a dislocating one at that. They say that a bricklayer would cut his bread with his trowel if he could get away with it. Januszczak manages to cut almost all of his bread with religion. It's an oddness that is almost refreshing, albeit somewhat misplaced.
I prefer the "Card Players" in New York to the "Card Players" in London.
Why the tarot cards in the beginning?
Tarocchi is an ancient card game that bought the tarot deck to Europe, recorded as early as the 15th century. It and its variations are still played today in France and Italy. And the modern playing card deck is derived from this original tarot game deck.
Imagine the widest length of the Mediterranean and that would be the distance she would need to travel to reach France. It is an impossible journey, a ridiculous one really.
Very good documentary.
Weird, I thought Cezanne's "Card Players" was sold just a couple of years ago in an auction for a ridiculous price...
It was. To the Qatar family. Cuz the whole world is their gameboard, don't'cha know...
@@enlightenedhummingbird4764 European art should stay in Europe, in my humble opinion.
@@reuterromain1054 I agree. And all art from Egypt, South America, Iraq and Iran, Africa, and all other contries whose art has been stolen over the years, should have it all returned to their rightful homes.
@@enlightenedhummingbird4764 in a perfect world that’d be ideal.. problem is so many other countries have destroyed their own historical artwork, so if anything European museums are doing the world’s posterity a favor by professionally preserving art of all kinds.
@@takethepowerback83 this is sad but true .
Are you sure you may bring Mary Magdalene into this?
Wie betrekt haar in deze ik niet en heb ook niet anders beweerd alles heeft betrekking op mij zelf en niet van Magdalena’s,ik weet nog wel wie ik ben
Mount Fuji may be the most depicted mountain in art maybe?
Well Cezanne is too dark for me. Poor dude was unhappy. Lighten up Paul but I love the tour of Aix wow very cool.
I wonder if painting of the Mary Magdalene in the cave who looks like a man, which was painted when Cezanne was young, was a kind of self-portrait? His paintings became lighter as he got older, Waldemar said.
I would guess that is his son playing cards with him at the end.🃏
Just imagine of the thousands of paintings by famous artists hanging in the homes of so called royalty, aristocrats and very wealthy people never to seen by the public. It is ironic that these same artists were usuallly destitute. The ones we see in galleries are said to be stolen. Thank God for the thieves. The ones hanging in the homes of the rich were acquired by money from exploited peasants etc. How do you define theft?

Magdalene was not a prostitute.She taught the apostles too as she was very close to Jesus. St Peter was not pleased. In 2022 brilliant women are still trashed.
Maybe the experts are reading way too much to these paintings.
👍👍👍
For those who are without sin cast the first stone…
I want to know if Waldemar was playing cards with his own son. If that was his son, is the lad a budding art critic as well?
Waldemar! Meow.
Music is too annoying.

I enjoyed this the 1st time. Recycling seems a little misrepresentative.
All the symbolism. All the interpretation. Maybe the guy just wanted to paint some guys playing cards...
Mary Magdalene settled in southern France. She wasn't a prostitute.
The "Jews" did not put Mary to sea. This is just another slander of the Jews by the French which slander should be identified for what it is.
I took it as Waldemar describing the French lore, but that could have been made more explicit. This could be taken by people as justification for persecution of Jews.
