There are so many people who comment about enjoying listening to Oddys soothing voice and I will add another one of my own. I have little patience for some of my favorite channels long episodes especially. Some times even the shorter ones. I've found that speeding them up helps me deal with it better. Oddy is the only one I never have and never would consider speeding up. I too enjoy listening to this lovely man. Thank you Oddy for giving us such rich content from long ago. 💙
I just love these clips. The stories, the scenes, and the narrator's voice (Oddie) take me on a journey each time I have the privilege to enjoy his work.
Absolutely!!! he is truly gifted. Normally I need a lot more visual things to keep me interested in stories but his voice is so captivating it keeps me so in tune.
I don’t know how TH-cam guided me to your video , but I absolutely love the content and your voice is Angelic and soothing. I’m getting off work from a 16hr shift and I’m finding myself in a newly relaxed state that I never felt before . Thank you for your contributions to us .
Yes I’m the same with his voice! I had a massive hemorrhagic (bleeding) stroke Sept 2020 right after my 42nd birthday and ended up having to have brain surgery and now I’m disabled with my left arm and hand paralyzed but I’m blessed to be able to walk with a cane but I find myself stressing over something and I go to him to listen to his voice even if I’ve already watched it/ listened to it before bc he’s just that good!! You found a great channel to follow!
@@beverlyrembold8516 I’m so sorry to hear about that Beverly, how distressing for you - I do hope your road to recovery is rapid my dear. Thank you for your very kind words.
I sure did not expect that ending. I won’t put what it was in the comments because I don’t want to ruin it for new people who watch it but it was extremely sad. Thank you for giving me a history lesson on Modigliani. I’ve heard of him before but didn’t know his story. Wonderfully done. I ❤️ this channel.
I have been waiting for this one. Brilliant story and as an artist, illustrator, and sculptor myself as well as photographer and designer it is a struggle to make ends meet sometimes but life is a one of interest and beauty in creating individual pieces of work based on inspirations and wonders life can be. He was a great artist and one I will recommend a good read into his works and life.
You just have such a way with tragic stories, and the human stories that go along with them! I loved the story of the lady feeding the artists, these acts of kindness ripple throughout history and our lives are changed in ways we can't know! Thank you so much for making me think and feel a little sadness today, I hope your Sunday is lovely with you and yours 💙 😊
Very happy you enjoyed it Andrew, it is indeed the human stories that appealed to me as well. It should be souls like Rosalie who are honoured in history, and not the mostly criminal political figures and plastic celebrities who are paraded daily before us. Hope you’re having a lovely Sunday as well.
Absolutely fascinating yet sad story. I find the term starving artist a reality when looking into different artist stories, so sad yet true!! Thanks for a wonderful story!!!
Out of everywhere I’ve been, I love Paris the most. I can totally see how an artist would have a love affair with the place. It seems to embrace and cherish the tortured soul, draw the beauty from experienced pain, so to speak. The art in this vid is amazing. Oddy, I really love your choice in music…especially the piano pieces… I have no idea if this would be interesting at all, but would you be willing to make a vid about Rachmaninoff? I’ve always thought he must have been interesting because of his music. I think he had massive hands as well lol… Anyway… great video, once again ❤️
First time I watched this was on Patreon last year I think. I cried so much at the end. Was just too sad. Watched it again on here and yep cried again. Such a deep and beautiful story, but mainly it’s the way you tell it that gets me every time. I’m such of huge fan of yours. Will never unsubscribe xx
I thought i had seen this b4! Yes, thanks to Oddie for all these great stories. As a person with no discernible talent for drawing, and perhaps BECAUSE of that, i find no appeal for Modigliani's art. It reminds me of my own silly attempts at portraiture. Flat and without dimension. Especially his later works. It is almost mocking. Perhaps some day i will develope an appreciation. I will keep my mind open. But as of the second viewing, i still see it as the indulgence of the mother of a sick child. No disrespect to you, Oddie. I have always loved your stories and eagerly await the next.
This was an absolutely fantastic video Oddie. What a tragic figure Amadeo was he had misfortune not long after he was born. Thank you so much for sharing this and as always thank you for all that you do. Looking forward to your next video.💕💕💕
I enjoyed the tragic artists. I mostly feel sad for the child left behind. Thank goodness she had a relative who took her in. His work was quite amazing! I love that his stonework looks influenced by so many cultures simultaneously. Beautiful and smooth lines almost fluid looking stone. Just lovely!
Wonderful video. Modigliani was so scandalous in his day; first time a modern painter had acknowledged pubic hair and sex in a portrait. He was way ahead of his time. 🌹
I love Oddies channel so much his narrations are always amazing, and I always feel like I'm being taken back in time, everytime. Thank you Oddie for another brilliantly told tid bit of history.
I just read that Johnny Depp is directing & co-producing along with Al Pacino & Barry Navidi this very story. Very excited to see it after watching this!
It gave me genuine joy to find you posted a new video about one of my favourite artists ( I, too, have many ! Could never pick just one, lol ) and during my lunch break so I can enjoy this before going back to work. Cheers, Oddie !
Happy day because of another of your videos. Thank you. Loved the story of this artist, another one ahead of it's time. Often this artists have restless spirits and short and tragic lives ...
Just out of curiosity, what's considered a heatwave for you guys over in London? It's worrying to hear about all the rising temperatures in places that have never had such weather.
Lately it has been about 34° in London, which is certainly a heatwave. The media are peddling all the usual doom laden statements about danger to life but there isn't much else to write about in August...😉
@@carolannemckenzie3849 oof. That certainly seems high for you there. I've never been but I remember fantasizing about the weather. I love cloudy rainy days ☺️. Right now I'd even settle for 34° though 😅.
Hands down, you are one of my all time favorite channels. I love your voice, the odd stories you find, the amazing information and the way you present it. 🎁 I appreciate your channel so so so much.
You never disappoint. I never heard of this artist his story is very interesting. I enjoy learning about the past lives of people famous and just people in general. I believe we can learn a lot about ourselves and even can predict our future just by learning about our past. Thank you Oddity for sharing these videos with the world. I appreciate all the time you put into researching, taping, editing and everything else you do to make these videos not only information but entertaining as well. Stay safe and God protect you in this currently unpredictable world we live in❤️❤️
Another wonderful haunting tale Oddie. It came at the perfect time for us because my son is studying Modern Art this year, so your video really helped us learn about another wonderful artist that we might have let slip through his studies had it not been for you. Now we can’t wait to delve into his beautiful work. Thank you again for sharing all of these wonderful stories with us and for all of the hard work you put into making them to share with us. We hope you and your family are all well. Thank you again dearest Oddie. Stay safe and take care everyone 👋🏻
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Oh that makes me very happy that the video may be of some assistance and inspiration in your son’s studies. I appreciate your very kind feedback, and thank you for sharing that with me. We are fine and I hope you and your family are also well - take care and best regards.
The care and detail you put into this is just beautiful! Your presentations, descriptive histories combined with all the pictures and narratives are stunning! The time it must take really shows through! Thank you for Modigliani. Art history is a great interest of mine and you made his story come to life. Thank you for all you do!
Your words are exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for this story. I have a son who is an artist and people take advantage of him . He does a lot of work for free and gives his art for pennies. I’m sure he will never be famous but to us he is a blessing and a treasure. It just breaks my heart that talented people are taken advantage and taken for granted until they are dead.😭.
So lovely to see another Obsolete Oddie video! Beautifully done, as always. The stories of greedy & unscrupulous dealers is something I've experienced, and it can be so soul-destroying. A painter pours his heart & soul into his work, and the lack of appreciation of that sacrifice in favour of haggling for profit is wearing. Another point I'm glad that you make is M's affair with poet Anna Ahkmatova. Two impassioned tragic artists of unique talent, it was destined that they found each other in the brief time AA lived in Paris.
Once again Oddie, you've surpassed yourself. Not enough superlatives to say how wonderful your vlogs are. Thank you, I enjoyed this so very much. He had a sad life, which could have been better if he would have taken better care of himself. Poor daughter, being left by both parents. Again, thank you, and I so look forward to your vlogs.
I cannot get over how breathtaking both Jeanne and her daughter were as young women. It pains my heart knowing that little Jeanne was left alone in this world, without even the baby sister she waited 9 months to meet. 🖤
jeannes visions were underestimated, she drafted studies, which i like very much, cos there is a light in the eyes she drafted, opposite of modigliani, who s mark was painting without gravity. the sacrifice she made, dying in the name of love is regrettable, also understandable, she couldnt bare the unbearable lightness of being, after she dived too deep into that passionate love.

Sir oddie bravo as always another wonderful story of history & life Goes on!! Thank you for all your hard investigation well appreciated!! Safe& well 💖☯️🎭🌎💯
Thank you for a wonderful story on a cloudy, relaxing Sunday...plus a well needed day off. Oddie, you never disappoint. Your work is always done with such grace, true, well researched info. Your work, dedication, love of history, oddities are such a blessing to many. P.s. The video, artwork to make these videos puts me in awe. I need the Oddie signs throughout ❤️ such as on Oddie's Palis.
Pastis is an aniseed flavoured liqueur very popular in France. I used to drink it and smoke Gauloises but I was a wannabe existentialist at the time, which was a bit odd for a Scottish lassie 😉
@@carolannemckenzie3849 I just seen this message Carol. Thank you for the info 👍 Now I know what to research. Oh, and don't ever forget or regret the fun, "odd" days 🥴 ...wish I could have been there instead of the crazy USA, then & now.
Oddie, such a sad story brilliantly recounted. It has always seemed to me that so many of the great talents burn brightly…and all too quickly. I liked his work from my own days in art school, among other greats who were exploring the edges of style. His work was always a little mysterious and solitary to my eye. I think the exploration of altered states had a profound effect on the art that came out of this period. I believe they enjoyed their wild lifestyles as Bohemians, and would have changed little given the chance. Thank you for this gem dear friend, and be well and happy.🖤🇨🇦
That’s so kind of you Tamarra, so glad you enjoyed it my friend. 😊🙏 I think you are right about the exploration of altered states - Modigliani smoked copious amounts of hashish and used cocaine - so he definitely would’ve had access to the astral/dream states. And yes normal civilian life was never for souls like Modigliani. I do believe I am more enamoured by Rosali, she was a Saint - what a wonderful soul she was. Hope you’re having a wonderful start to the week, please send our blessings and regards to Richard and stay safe my friend.
@@ObsoleteOddity I agree, Rosali deserves her own story, as I’m sure there are rich veins to mine in her relationships to so many of the great rebellious artists of the time. One might even say that without her, many masterpieces might never have been created. Artists always need the Rosalia’s of their time. I’m just sorry she wasn’t able to reap the rewards of the gifts she received in gratitude. We are doing well, every day is a little better, so keeping on the positive side. Please send our love to Odette, as always, you are often in our thoughts.🖤🇨🇦
Absolutely, I do wish somebody had recorded Rosalie’s life in more detail - but I’m grateful for the information and images that I found online - again that time machine would come in very handy to go back and have a plate of Rosalie’s spaghetti Bolognese…and maybe buy some art from the struggling artists! I’m sure karma has rewarded Rosalie for her kind heart. Happy to hear that every day is getting a little better! We just returned from France a few days back, had a lovely but hot sojourn. ☀️
@@ObsoleteOddity I would take that trip to the past with you in a spit minute…it would be a grand adventure. Glad you enjoyed your visit to France and all went well. Home safe is always a good thing. All the best of everything to you and Odette from Richard and I, light and love.🖤🇨🇦
Wouldn’t that be fun! Thank you, we did have a lovely visit to France which I will detail in an upcoming TH-cam video - we managed to get a night at the old Chateau again. And also got a tour of another chateau which has just been opened to the public for the first time ever in 2021 - they told me I was the first Australian ever to visit. The sunny weather continues for us as I hope it does for you both. Wishing you bountiful health and many blessings ☀️🧡
Maurice Utrillo was the son of Suzanne Valadon who was a model/lover of Henri Toulouse Lautrec. Valadon became an artist herself. Another fascinating tale Oddie. Thank you 😊
As a painter myself i have allways been fascinated by Modi...right now i have an exhibition of his works which i have painted myself showing the storey of his life...must visit his grave one day in Paris...see you soon Modi...
I just hear about his 🎨 s selling for millions, being acquainted w Picasso, I thought he was rich and now I discover penniless life. His story is similar to Rembrandt's. Good editing, I wish you made more videos. Seen most of them.
He does have a Patreon account that you will find more videos there. After a year & half, he does release & upload to YT. I believe a few bucks a month....it is because of Patreon members we get to see these videos.
You are my go to podcast now for some wind-down. Thanks for all your work and the interesting topics and people you introduce us to. I love your combination of narration, text, and images. This one's been wonderful. What a tragic story indeed.
Well, Oddie, you are yourself an artist in this very particular discipline. Your creations possess innately the power of in drawing, to we lucky viewers. Of your subjects, they are electronical worlds into which we enter with every one. Greatly forward we all look, I am sure, to your treasures-beyond-compare to come. . : .
Another piece of history I would not know about without Professor Oddie. How is it you don't have millions of followers? No one dies the research and tells these stories 1/2 as well as you.
Very glad you enjoyed it my friend, thank you. Well TH-cam keeps my viewership small by deleting my subscribers and not notifying them of my videos - plus a general shadow ban. That will do it! I am at the moment working on another French female artist, who was really amazing!
I'm so happy to see how much your channel has grown! I always let your videos build up to around 5ish then binge watch as I'm creating my pieces because your videos are mainly listenable with some artwork and pictures sprinkled here and there 💗 nothing that requires complete visual focus so I can place it right in front of me and "watch"as I'm painting and I love it!!! XOXOXO from Florida CUTIEPATOOTIE 🤗❣️✌️
I really enjoyed this story and the extra info you gave us at the end. I'm so glad that you decided to narrate your videos. It really brings them to life.
What an interesting life! Think I could listen to you narrating anything but you always choose fascinating stories and the pictures really add to the experience 😃
As a longtime lover of Modigliani I’m so happy to see this. I added it to my documentary playlist and only now finally getting to it but what a beautiful work you did in this one
I found this by accident amongst all the junk and gossipy articles. It is brilliant, a real, in depth and so very sympathetic broadcast. I a sure I am not the only artist in the world who hates the parasites and scabs on the true fine art world. The dark world of authentication (see the Fake or Fortune series) leaves one horrified at the outright stupidity and corrupton that is so evident. Fortunately it is the Internet which is breaking through the monopoly and now every artist, good, bad or indifferent, who can have their own online gallery complete with apps that show what the paintings look like in the buyers own environment. This series is splendid and O O's own comments about his struggles with French (don't we all?!) are endearing. Wonderful stuff, Dear O O , I can't wait to see other episodes!
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback, I’m very happy that you stumbled upon my channel and that you enjoyed this presentation. Much appreciated. 😊
There are so many people who comment about enjoying listening to Oddys soothing voice and I will add another one of my own. I have little patience for some of my favorite channels long episodes especially. Some times even the shorter ones. I've found that speeding them up helps me deal with it better. Oddy is the only one I never have and never would consider speeding up. I too enjoy listening to this lovely man. Thank you Oddy for giving us such rich content from long ago. 💙

Beautifully done. One of my favorite artists but such a tragic life.
So true, what a talent◇

jeannes visions were underestimated, she drafted studies, which i like very much, cos there is a light in the eyes she drafted, opposite of modigliani, who s mark was painting without gravity. the sacrifice she made, dying in the name of love is regrettable, also understandable, she couldnt bare the unbearable lightness of being, after she dived too deep into that passionate love.

Sir oddie bravo as always another wonderful story of history & life
Goes on!! Thank you for all your hard investigation well appreciated!!
Safe& well 💖☯️🎭🌎💯
I really appreciate that Frances, thank you so much for your lovely feedback 🙏
@@ObsoleteOdditymy pleasure sir oddie sincerely 💖🎭🌎🪔🪶🎼♾️
Thank you for a wonderful story on a cloudy, relaxing Sunday...plus a well needed day off. Oddie, you never disappoint. Your work is always done with such grace, true, well researched info. Your work, dedication, love of history, oddities are such a blessing to many.
P.s. The video, artwork to make these videos puts me in awe. I need the Oddie signs throughout ❤️ such as on Oddie's Palis.
It’s very kind of your Brandy, thank you so much for the lovely compliment - much appreciated 😊🙏
P.s. I got to typing to fast....I see the Oddie signs added in Oddie's Paslis (what does that mean).... Oddie's table?
Pastis is an aniseed flavoured liqueur very popular in France. I used to drink it and smoke Gauloises but I was a wannabe existentialist at the time, which was a bit odd for a Scottish lassie 😉
@@carolannemckenzie3849 I just seen this message Carol. Thank you for the info 👍 Now I know what to research. Oh, and don't ever forget or regret the fun, "odd" days 🥴 ...wish I could have been there instead of the crazy USA, then & now.
I'm off to Paris next month. I may even smoke a Gauloise a la recherche de temps perdu...😉
As always, well crafted, but that music is particularly enchanting and haunting.
Thank you my friend!
Oddie, such a sad story brilliantly recounted. It has always seemed to me that so many of the great talents burn brightly…and all too quickly. I liked his work from my own days in art school, among other greats who were exploring the edges of style. His work was always a little mysterious and solitary to my eye. I think the exploration of altered states had a profound effect on the art that came out of this period. I believe they enjoyed their wild lifestyles as Bohemians, and would have changed little given the chance. Thank you for this gem dear friend, and be well and happy.🖤🇨🇦
That’s so kind of you Tamarra, so glad you enjoyed it my friend. 😊🙏
I think you are right about the exploration of altered states - Modigliani smoked copious amounts of hashish and used cocaine - so he definitely would’ve had access to the astral/dream states.
And yes normal civilian life was never for souls like Modigliani.
I do believe I am more enamoured by Rosali, she was a Saint - what a wonderful soul she was.
Hope you’re having a wonderful start to the week, please send our blessings and regards to Richard and stay safe my friend.
@@ObsoleteOddity I agree, Rosali deserves her own story, as I’m sure there are rich veins to mine in her relationships to so many of the great rebellious artists of the time. One might even say that without her, many masterpieces might never have been created. Artists always need the Rosalia’s of their time. I’m just sorry she wasn’t able to reap the rewards of the gifts she received in gratitude.
We are doing well, every day is a little better, so keeping on the positive side. Please send our love to Odette, as always, you are often in our thoughts.🖤🇨🇦
Absolutely, I do wish somebody had recorded Rosalie’s life in more detail - but I’m grateful for the information and images that I found online - again that time machine would come in very handy to go back and have a plate of Rosalie’s spaghetti Bolognese…and maybe buy some art from the struggling artists!
I’m sure karma has rewarded Rosalie for her kind heart.
Happy to hear that every day is getting a little better! We just returned from France a few days back, had a lovely but hot sojourn. ☀️
@@ObsoleteOddity I would take that trip to the past with you in a spit minute…it would be a grand adventure. Glad you enjoyed your visit to France and all went well. Home safe is always a good thing. All the best of everything to you and Odette from Richard and I, light and love.🖤🇨🇦
Wouldn’t that be fun!
Thank you, we did have a lovely visit to France which I will detail in an upcoming TH-cam video - we managed to get a night at the old Chateau again. And also got a tour of another chateau which has just been opened to the public for the first time ever in 2021 - they told me I was the first Australian ever to visit.
The sunny weather continues for us as I hope it does for you both.
Wishing you bountiful health and many blessings ☀️🧡
A very sad story. 😔 Thank you so much for a beautifully illustrated documentary on a sad man with a big ego!
Maurice Utrillo was the son of Suzanne Valadon who was a model/lover of Henri Toulouse Lautrec. Valadon became an artist herself. Another fascinating tale Oddie. Thank you 😊
Which is actually my very next presentation on Patreon!
Ooh fabulous! J'adore Maurice.
@@carolannemckenzie3849 she was also Renoir's lover and most likely Maurice was his son.
It was a very sad one but I loved it as usual. I look forward to them all. Thanks
I appreciate that, thank you
His artwork is absolutely amazing; hangs beautifully. RIP Modig 🖌️
As usual I loved your video story. You're fantastic with your narration and knowledge of history. Already looking forward to your next pne.
Much appreciated my friend!
As a painter myself i have allways been fascinated by Modi...right now i have an exhibition of his works which i have painted myself showing the storey of his life...must visit his grave one day in Paris...see you soon Modi...
I just hear about his 🎨 s selling for millions, being acquainted w Picasso, I thought he was rich and now I discover penniless life. His story is similar to Rembrandt's. Good editing, I wish you made more videos. Seen most of them.
He does have a Patreon account that you will find more videos there. After a year & half, he does release & upload to YT. I believe a few bucks a month....it is because of Patreon members we get to see these videos.
Thanks! So glad to receive some illumination on this enigmatic artist!
You are my go to podcast now for some wind-down. Thanks for all your work and the interesting topics and people you introduce us to. I love your combination of narration, text, and images. This one's been wonderful. What a tragic story indeed.
I appreciate that, thank you so much for reaching out with your great feedback - very happy you’re enjoying my content.
oddie never fails to mesmerized me i always find my peace in your soothing voice thank u so much❤
I appreciate that Liza, thank you so much for your lovely feedback 🙏😊

Much appreciated, thank you kindly!
I really enjoyed the old photographs. You have a nice voice,very calming
Happy it was to your liking Lisa, thank you so much for your feedback 🙏
Well, Oddie, you are yourself an artist in this very particular discipline.
Your creations possess innately the power of in drawing, to we lucky viewers.
Of your subjects, they are electronical worlds into which we enter with every one.
Greatly forward we all look, I am sure, to your treasures-beyond-compare to come.
. : .
Thanks for your really great feedback James, a truly wonderful compliment - much appreciated :)
Thank you Oddie for an intriguing biography. As always lived your video
Glad you enjoyed it Carol!
Thanks as always for adding the little moving animals!
Another piece of history I would not know about without Professor Oddie. How is it you don't have millions of followers? No one dies the research and tells these stories 1/2 as well as you.
Very glad you enjoyed it my friend, thank you.
Well TH-cam keeps my viewership small by deleting my subscribers and not notifying them of my videos - plus a general shadow ban. That will do it!
I am at the moment working on another French female artist, who was really amazing!
@@ObsoleteOddity Sad but true. I have to resubscribe every 2-3 months.
Yes they seem to have me on the hit list.
I'm so happy to see how much your channel has grown! I always let your videos build up to around 5ish then binge watch as I'm creating my pieces because your videos are mainly listenable with some artwork and pictures sprinkled here and there 💗 nothing that requires complete visual focus so I can place it right in front of me and "watch"as I'm painting and I love it!!!
XOXOXO from Florida CUTIEPATOOTIE 🤗❣️✌️
Thank you! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the presentation my friend!
Another awesome video. Great mood, music and visuals. You are a great artist!

Thank you , thank you for this.............I've learned so much from your videos.
I really appreciate that, thank you.
Lovingly depicted and narrated.
Much appreciated, thank you kindly!
Thank you for sharing this story
Thanks for listening!
I found this by accident amongst all the junk and gossipy articles. It is brilliant, a real, in depth and so very sympathetic broadcast. I a sure I am not the only artist in the world who hates the parasites and scabs on the true fine art world. The dark world of authentication (see the Fake or Fortune series) leaves one horrified at the outright stupidity and corrupton that is so evident. Fortunately it is the Internet which is breaking through the monopoly and now every artist, good, bad or indifferent, who can have their own online gallery complete with apps that show what the paintings look like in the buyers own environment. This series is splendid and O O's own comments about his struggles with French (don't we all?!) are endearing. Wonderful stuff, Dear O O , I can't wait to see other episodes!
Thank you so much for reaching out with your kind feedback, I’m very happy that you stumbled upon my channel and that you enjoyed this presentation.
Much appreciated. 😊
This one of my many favorite stories you tell us. THANK YOU♡♡♡
Thanks for listening!
