The Menil Collection
США
Добавлен 12 сен 2013
Houston philanthropists and art patrons John and Dominique de Menil established the Menil Foundation in 1954 to foster greater public understanding and appreciation of art, architecture, culture, religion, and philosophy. In 1987, the Menil Collection’s main museum building opened to the public. Today, the Menil Collection consists of a group of five art buildings and green spaces located within a residential neighborhood. The Menil remains committed to its founders' belief that art is essential to human experience, fostering direct personal encounters with works of art. The museum welcomes all visitors free of charge to its art buildings and surrounding green spaces.

In Conversation: Art Spiegelman on Si Lewen and Graphic Novels
It is My Back to the World, not Wind!
Why would she be making up fictions about her classmates (dinner mates)...better yet, why are we supposed to be interested in this neurotic stuff going on in her head? ? Artists talk talk talk theses days... way too many verbs.
Sorry but the work is really mediocre.
😅😂😂😂
Sobel’s work is fantastic and utterly gorgeous! Under appreciated trailblazers! Thanks for showing her work! 🎉
Sobel's work is an obvious precursor to Jackson Pollock, but for me, it points beyond him to Jean Dubuffet.
I love everything about your Museum ! Love, love. I wish I lived across the street, too cool !
How deftly and kind your presentation of this work is Natalie, since I imagine "key early innovator of this style..." is an understatement considering what came soon after her showing with Peggy, extraordinary to see this collection, one deserved so many years ago, here's wishing new eyes and ages appropriately weave her work into our cultural history and into their creative lives
super art
This has been one of the most inspiring talks I've heard, one that has been crucial to the molding of my art practice. I wish more people would be into this, but I'm so glad we have people like Dario, Ann and Carl that bring us such beautiful ideas. Thank you ❤.
Utilizing "uh, uhm, uhn" in every single sentence is too distracting from anything else said about the subject.
Lyric Suite, love it
Fascinating. So sensitive and insightful to the artists.
It's amazing!!!
❤

Amanda Harlech likes to play fashion muse, but when she’s in a panel with fashion scholars or intellectuals she doesn’t have a clue what to say…
great talk! I gained some new perspectives about Johns' work. Thanks for the upload <3 But what a weird crowd haha, I have to say.
I think it was Rodin who said something like, "Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump."
Lots of great questions from the audience. It’s too bad these two don’t have a clue as to what magnetism is and what kind of understanding Pythagoras had. First, in order to understand magnetism, you must understand the nature of light. You must understand that light is not an emission, and neither is magnetism. Check out Ken Wheeler here on RUclips at Theoria Apophasis.
Very underrated of the expressionists and not as well known as other artists of the period. The seaming simplified paintings and drawings will pull you in and have you reflect on form and colour. His work never seems overdone and has a strong yet subtle fluidity . He was one of my favourite painters. Hopefully one day I could see some of his work in person.
🤍
This was one of the most moving exhibits I’ve ever experienced. Thank you for capturing it on film!
A very interesting lecture. Thank you for letting us know (from Europe)t he important art works you have and the excellent artist is Michael Heizer.
This is wonderful ❤
So beautifully presented, thank you.
Astonishing that this poor guy thinks there erect satellites in "space"
GEOCENTRIC not heliocentric.
There all different yet in time period, work was accepted. Yet timing of non.
Judd among them
The minimalist of its time a course wk a difficult one as all of history in art.
A great work of its time!
Jetty was documented by being photographed. Otherwise wouldn't be any sense available of its 'existence.'
Super-stoked about the opening and the works being on exhibit for six months. Thanks! Excellent video.
Blows my mind that people think this is aesthetically pleasing.
The reason people like this kind of art is because of the philosophy involved, not just bc it looks good
Most people don’t know what kind of painting they enjoy.
Great video, just learning about thus artist and his work. Very enjoyable thank you
53:30 is a fkn gem
Furry Cup
A beautiful painting indeed.The fake hair does nothing for this woke art.Rather than focusing of the dispair of powerless ancestors,why not highlight their victories and strengths?
❤❤❤
18 mins in and no paintings by Magritte are shown. This lecture is more important than his art.
Excellent!
Best talk on Martin available anywhere. Thank you.
its a hole, its not a hole. Word salad, semantics, going in circles...
Absolutely worthless
The first national color broadcast (the 1954 Tournament of Roses Parade) occurred on January 1, 1954, but over the next dozen years most network broadcasts, and nearly all local programming, continued to be in black-and-white. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_television
Inward-eye is talking about the 3rd eye.
A very good work by one J. Carrithers.
Bois is as good at criticism as his subjects are at art.
