There is so much interesting learning in the world. School takes a great thing and ruins it. Turns it boring and sucks the life out of it. So happy that your teacher is trying to make it interesting and enjoyable again. College can be slightly better. Learning on my own outside of school has always been the best except for Arabic. All my teachers were fantastic.
@@elsagrace3893 I'm excited for college (that is if a graduate this year) and yes, some of my teachers are really good at keeping us students interested because they're really passionate about the subject themselves, makes it a whole lot easier. Sadly enough i don't have many teachers like that this year :(
Also I have daughter who loves the, as she puts it, “organized chaos” of things like vineyards, a flock of birds taking off and… jazz!! I bet she’d love Piet Mondrian work. Thanks for encouraging our love of art!
You and Piet made today's bus commute a joyful activity for me. I'm still amazed about the transition from paintings of realistic trees to the tile-like paintings that made him famous. Something inside me still makes it difficult to accept the latter, but thanks to you I have a much deeper understanding of its meaning. Really, a big thanks.
@@ArtHistorySchool Hi there I didn't mean my comments to sound somewhat flippant and degrading to other aspiring artists but what I really meant to say was that Piet was a complete artist in the very true sense of the word. He understood every angle, shape, perspective and size of every work he created I would say a complete artist in every sense of the word. This makes me appreciate his work even more. In fact being a cyclist too, Mondrian inspired a a whole generation of cyclist with his print that was used for the La Vie Claire team in France from circa 1985
I love most of his work--always have and always will. But I don't like his later work. All through his career he was heavily influenced by various 'isms'. Too much so, in my opinion. When he started to invent his own 'ism'-- he lost me completely. I felt that his work had lost it's strong emotional impact, and became too logical and intellectually driven.
Fascinating and very informative. So interesting about the early trees influences and Mondrian's love of jazz. Thank you for your hard work making this for us.
Mondrian did what we all need to be doing right now, growing, even with tragic wars at home and abroad underway. I would have loved to dance and paint with him as a friend and colleague, and collect his works, both tree and Neoplastic periods. At least there's a chance of doing a little of the third. It's nice to get a glimpse into the thinking behind his works when the artist is no longer with us. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to task, Paul. Greatly appreciated. 💖
As a Dutch person, it's hilarious to hear the presenter try to pronounce the Dutch names... We're really not angry German kampfcomandants ;-) Bless him for trying tough ;-)
I hold my hands up. I have never been great with accents. I guess it's the same when people try to speak with a Yorkshire accent. I'm from Yorkshire originally and our accent is quite guttural which probably explains the 'German' sounding accent.
great video again Paul. love the paintings, so inspiring, i think im going to copy one of Mondrian's composition with my children and hang it in my house! i love them. Thanks again for your effort. Diana
Paul Just subscribed.Your comments about Mondrian,s love of jazz and order clearly gives incite as to his Broadway Boogie Woogie Thank you.Great video.
I love the way you talk about art; you share and know a lot, making it interesting and bombastic, so we can hear and learn in a short time. That's amazing 👏
Excellent presentation. I saw a "realistic" painting in the Venice Guggenheim of a house on a street at night with one lamplight lit. It somehow enchanted me. Wanted to own it. I'm a musician. Love the rhythms and color harmonies in his work.
I'm afraid I find "Mill at Night" more appealing than his later work. But it's still interesting to learn how the artists you instruct on develop over their lifetimes.
Learned a lot from this Paul, not just about Mondrian's work- but also about how to talk about any artist in general. Not too much beginner's info, but not too esoteric and specialized either. Really enjoyable! P.S. I noticed your patreon link in your video descriptions is broken. It attached a "!" at the end of the URL.
Hi, I taught art for many years and I suppose pitching the video at the right level comes almost naturally. However, getting the balance right can be difficult. I had a professor of art history pick me on a couple of minor points in one video, but my videos at not aimed at that level. Most people want to know about the obvious bits, but also some context and some of the more unusual elements about the artist. Good luck with your talks about artists and many thanks for pointing out the broken link. Cheers Paul
Hi again, I just had a look at a couple of your videos. Interesting. Could I offer a little advice? It might be an idea to explain much more about Enneagramin in each video description. I have never heard the term before. A TH-cam description serves two purposes, one it describes and informs people about the video and what it is about. So imagine you are describing the video to someone who has no idea what you are talking about, that should be your description. At least a couple of paragraphs. Think about keywords, the words people are going to use to find your video, they should be in your titles and description. The second point is TH-cam uses the description to categorise your video, the more information it has the more likely your video will be recommended by TH-cam. Apologies if you already know all this stuff. Cheers Paul
@@ArtHistorySchool Oh thanks for the insight, Paul. I learned quite a bit from watching the composition of your videos. I think you are right about the Descriptions! It is an interesting challenge to figure out a strategy for starting with TH-cam content-- between making insider content for an established niche and making content that invites new people into the niche. I really liked the balance you found in inviting people into the art history conversation. People like Klimt feel more alive to me now than before.
I would love to see a video about Paul Klee. He has always been one of my most favorites, although his body of work isn't huge. Nonetheless, his work is unique and exceptional. Also, in the same vein, Amedeo Modigliani is amazing as well. I love your channel and your approach to art and the lives of artists. :-)
Really very good, engaging, informative... TH-cam Utopia! I have admired 'Fox Trot B, with Black, Red, Blue, and Yellow' (1929) in the Yale University Art Gallery for many years and yet I have never quite been able to give voice to WHY I love it so much. This helps me get closer to the context of Mondrian. Grateful, and subscribed.
Thank you for subscribing and for liking my video. Mondrian had this unique ability to create balance and harmony between colour and shape, which I guess is the basis of much great art.
You may be interested to know that kitchen cabinetry inspired by Mondrian's later works prominently features in the home of Rob Hodgson and Kay Ralph in Kevin McCloud's BBC TV series Grand Designs: Sn 12: Ep 1: North Wales (free on Prime Video: IMDB, see reveal near the end). Your video on Mondrian revealed to me that I have been missing out on Mondrian's earlier works. As a Pagan-Buddhist and artist, his Trees moved me deeply. For that enlightenment, I thank you very much, Paul, Emily and community. Please carry on. Namaste'.
@@ArtHistorySchool "Please carry one" was a typo, edited to "please carry on", meaning to continue creating and sharing your wonderful videos. Namaste' is a Buddhist salutation, done with the palms touching, fingertips to the third eye, sometimes with a slight bow. Translation: "I honor the Divine in you, and the Divine in me. When we are in that place together, we are One." It basically acknowledges the Oneness/inter-relatedness of all life. Re Trees: Part of Buddhism's birth story is founder Buddha sitting under a Bodhi tree for quite some time until he began having his spiritual awakening. As for Paganism, forests are our cathedrals, trees are our bffs. And our greetings are Merry meet, Merry part, Blessed be and Bright blessings.
Mondrian is everywhere it doesn't really get more influential he's become part of the fabric of reality he managed to represent a concept of vision in 1917 which became science fact in the 50s and 60s via cognitive research into the mammalian visual cortex
for those in mr hardys class who need the answers for this vid here are some of them snippet 1: he was born in amersfoort on 3/8/1872 snippet 2: moved to amsterdam and entered the rijksacademie. left 3 yrs larer 1897 became member of st lucas arts academy snippet 3: saw early work of vincent v. gogh visited donburg snippet 4: saw cubist arts from picasso
First, I enjoy your ten-minute biographies of great artists. Second: a small grammatical point. The ice hockey team in Toronto is called Toronto Maple Leafs. They are called the Leafs, even though 'leaves' is the plural of leaf'. Similarly, a painting can be a still life, and more than one still life would be still lifes. Not still lives.
I loved this. Thank you! I never cared for Mondrian. I think, when you learn a bit about an Artist, you begin to open up to them more and your appreciation deepens. (I learnt this from Sister Wendy! I miss her presence on the planet).
The first V1 missile was dropped at Swanscombe in Kent, England on 13 June 1944 and the last one at Orpington in Kent on 27 March 1945. During that time, 6,725 were launched at Britain. Of these, 2,340 hit London, causing 5,475 deaths, with 16,000 injured.
@@ArtHistorySchool You seem very informed on V1s ... If that is the case why not edit the mistake out ... it would be much easier ... and whilst we're at it Rousseau wasn't a customs official either ... it was a title he gave himself ...
@@ArtHistorySchool Ok, I will put this thing on a test. I put a copy of Mondrians best works in the street and check the reactions of the passers by. If the people show admiration then I must accept my stupidity. Otherwise ......you know.
I am not Dutch, I pronounced as an Englishman would. A number of Dutch people have already pointed out variations in the pronunciation. Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.
Great summary of Mondrian. I will watch again so as to not miss anything. A nod shall go to Hitler for declaring Mondrians art degenerate. This way I doesn't have to be ashamed for liking Mondrians art, which I think is anything but degenerate...
You are right, in Dutch his surname is spelt Mondriaan, but in the English speaking world his surname is spelt Mondrian. Just like the capital of the UK is London, but in the French speaking world it is spelt Londres. Londres is not incorrect, it is simply the French way of spelling the word. Thank you for the opportunity to point out this long standing convention. Paul
@@ArtHistorySchool Thank you for explaining your choice, Paul. I don't know if the convention you point to also regards the spelling (or change of spelling) of surnames. But in the case of Mondriaan there is another reason why Mondrian would also be correct: he changed the spelling of his surname himself when he left the Netherlands and moved to Paris, in order to fit in better with the Parisian avantgarde. Mondrian sounds more French. So, it appears that Mondrian is not the English version of Mondriaan, but rather the French one 😃. Another snippet.
@@ArtHistorySchool Well, not so much incorrect, but incomplete. I only found out later the part about him changing his name. Thought it would be only fair and interesting to mention this.
I doubt it will happen. Just as I doubt the French will stop calling London, Londres. We all have to live with the fact that pronunciation can't always be as locals would have it.
@@ArtHistorySchool I'd totally agree with you were it not that both English and Dutch share the same basis, thus a simple name as Piet... However, I guess seeing as Mondriaan changed his name so the French could pronounce it better has invoked the thought that his name should be pronounced were it French. I did thoroughly enjoy the video by the way!
I just don't like the newplasticism works. They lack feeling in my view. I understand that he strips away everything down to the compositional essences of size, color, value, etc, but so does digital pixelation. He was revolutionary in his time, and perhaps that's what fueled his fame to the present, but I much prefer his other works. Life isn't stripped down. Life is rich in detail, like his early work.
I feel a bit disappointed in myself that I prefer his earlier work that didn't sell, because it looks like Hitler did as well. Still, My eyes drink up his early paintings but aren't that bewitched by the latter. Wish that wasn't the Nazi slant, cause looking at Nazi culture it's all straight lines, hard edged, strict and nowt curvy, curly, soft, dreamy, evocative, beautiful.
I wouldn't worry about the perverted Nazi ideas. His later work has a certain balance and harmony about it, but doesn't have any narrative or objectivity which makes it much harder to appreciate. You're not the only one who finds his abstraction hard to like.
If you use the english pronounciation of his name "Pete" you are phonetically correct. pi-et is not correct love the series!!!!!! thanks for that Ed (From Holland)
I love your videos! It would have been wonderful to have had them back in the ‘60s when I was in art college. 😊 At least I have the time to appreciate them now. Thank you! ❤️ Shirley
People just want a pair of "Air Jordan's", no matter how stupid the shoes look. They actually hold their value and go up in price... Abstract "art", was a financial investment. This stuff was NOT hung in the main living quarters...ever 🤣 You were paying for a "name" and the prestige behind that name. It commands ZERO wall power (with exception to WTF were you thinking!?). Same goes for Jackson Pollock. I walk right past that crap. This is also why I stopped donating to the Toledo Art Museum. If you going to waste your money on nonsense like this, I'm done.
@@ArtHistorySchool I am a college professor of music but I also want my students to be art savvy so your video will help in that endeavor. Thanks again.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 I thought you were referring to school students originally, it's brilliant to know that university music students are having their knowledge of art broadened in such a way. I guess it's the Jazz link. Cheers Paul
One thing I truly admire about this video is your consistant insistance on returing to what Peit was actually profiting from within his artistic endevours. This information gives much needed context when digging though all of his life works. Seeing him produce some pieces that didn't quite refect his values makes more sence to me now.
Thanks for expanding your stated audience beyond school students. I am 64 and have followed, read, and observed visual arts since age 10. Nonetheless, I enjoy your videos and learn from them.
Yes, I am beginning to realise many people beyond school students enjoy my videos. That's great to know. Pleased to know you enjoy my videos. Cheers Paul

As he chose to change his own name to Mondrian in 1911, it would seem the statement you made in your first comment is incorrect.
@@ArtHistorySchool Well, not so much incorrect, but incomplete. I only found out later the part about him changing his name. Thought it would be only fair and interesting to mention this.
Last painting reminds me of block chain. .... and forerunner to the coming mark of the beast 666 system.
Interesting, you say he was years ahead of his time. Cheers
good
Thanks
When are art history experts, professors and such going to learn such a simple thing as that "Piet" is pronounced as Pete, not Piyet...
I doubt it will happen. Just as I doubt the French will stop calling London, Londres. We all have to live with the fact that pronunciation can't always be as locals would have it.
@@ArtHistorySchool I'd totally agree with you were it not that both English and Dutch share the same basis, thus a simple name as Piet... However, I guess seeing as Mondriaan changed his name so the French could pronounce it better has invoked the thought that his name should be pronounced were it French.
I did thoroughly enjoy the video by the way!
Your fashion IS a Mondrian painting.
Cheers
I just don't like the newplasticism works. They lack feeling in my view. I understand that he strips away everything down to the compositional essences of size, color, value, etc, but so does digital pixelation. He was revolutionary in his time, and perhaps that's what fueled his fame to the present, but I much prefer his other works. Life isn't stripped down. Life is rich in detail, like his early work.
I understand your view. But he wasn't stripping life down but the visual perception and the investigations he made into that.
Enjoyable and informative, as always! But hard to take you seriously with all the malapropisms. BOOgie WOOgie lol !!!
That's the name of the painting!
Do you ever talk about Mexican moralists.?
Maybe in the future, I have a very long list of suggestions to get through, but working on it.
I feel a bit disappointed in myself that I prefer his earlier work that didn't sell, because it looks like Hitler did as well. Still, My eyes drink up his early paintings but aren't that bewitched by the latter. Wish that wasn't the Nazi slant, cause looking at Nazi culture it's all straight lines, hard edged, strict and nowt curvy, curly, soft, dreamy, evocative, beautiful.
I wouldn't worry about the perverted Nazi ideas. His later work has a certain balance and harmony about it, but doesn't have any narrative or objectivity which makes it much harder to appreciate. You're not the only one who finds his abstraction hard to like.
Heel leerzaam.
Dank u
Unlike you're shirt and jacket
??
The order is correct - shirt under jacket - and the balance is also correct - a shoulder in each side!
El pintor que no sabía ni pintar ni dibujar a brazo alzado...
Sabía dibujar y pintar muy bien. Echa un vistazo a sus primeros trabajos antes de elegir la abstracción.
Piet is just pronounced as Pete, not Pièt
Yes, I now realise. Thanks
@@ArtHistorySchool I appreciate the effort you put into trying to pronounce the dutch words :)
@@remismith4012 I'm afraid my language skills are not the best, but hopefully my pronunciations are not too irritating. Cheers
If you use the english pronounciation of his name "Pete" you are phonetically correct. pi-et is not correct
love the series!!!!!! thanks for that

I had no idea what Mondrian's early non-abstract work looks like. Thank you for this revelation!
You are welcome

I have been to Den Haag and seen Mondrian’s paintings. His love of order and balance are very appealing to me. I am enjoying your videos very much!
He certainly is the master of balance and order, glad you are liking my videos.
I love your videos! It would have been wonderful to have had them back in the ‘60s when I was in art college. 😊 At least I have the time to appreciate them now. Thank you! ❤️ Shirley
Really pleased you enjoy my videos. Cheers
Not necessarily one of my favorite painters but I admit he had a huge impact on the abstract boom that was to follow the war. Well done. Thank you.
Yes, his work is not to everyone's taste, but glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Paul
People just want a pair of "Air Jordan's", no matter how stupid the shoes look. They actually hold their value and go up in price...
Abstract "art", was a financial investment. This stuff was NOT hung in the main living quarters...ever 🤣
You were paying for a "name" and the prestige behind that name.
It commands ZERO wall power (with exception to WTF were you thinking!?).
Same goes for Jackson Pollock. I walk right past that crap.
This is also why I stopped donating to the Toledo Art Museum. If you going to waste your money on nonsense like this, I'm done.
Bro, that's not how you pronounce "boogie woogie".
It is where I come from.
@@ArtHistorySchool okay then.
What a happy chap the presenter is 😊
I try my best. Cheers Paul
I shall share this with my students. The length is perfect and the content easily digestible.
That's great, I hope they enjoy it. Cheers Paul
@@ArtHistorySchool I am a college professor of music but I also want my students to be art savvy so your video will help in that endeavor. Thanks again.
@@stephenjablonsky1941 I thought you were referring to school students originally, it's brilliant to know that university music students are having their knowledge of art broadened in such a way. I guess it's the Jazz link. Cheers Paul
One thing I truly admire about this video is your consistant insistance on returing to what Peit was actually profiting from within his artistic endevours. This information gives much needed context when digging though all of his life works. Seeing him produce some pieces that didn't quite refect his values makes more sence to me now.
Really pleased you appreciated the video. Cheers
Very informative and easy to understand :)
Glad it was helpful!
brilliant video ! love all your videos and the passion for art.
Thank you so much 😀
Neo plastisism love that word
Art, like all disciplines, does enjoy creating unfathomable terminology for those not in the know.
MY 2ND GRADE STUDENTS IN MEMPHIS, TN SAY THAT PIET MONDRIAN'S ART IS THE BEST THING THAT WE HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!
That's great. I'm pleased they enjoyed it. Cheers
Amazing video explaining evolution of artist's expression. Just what i was looking for. Thank you!
Really pleased you enjoyed my video. Cheers Paul
Thanks for expanding your stated audience beyond school students. I am 64 and have followed, read, and observed visual arts since age 10. Nonetheless, I enjoy your videos and learn from them.
Yes, I am beginning to realise many people beyond school students enjoy my videos. That's great to know. Pleased to know you enjoy my videos. Cheers Paul
