I can't stop watching. His videos are filled with art and ideas that are startlingly new. Januszczak is a genius.
These are the type of videos that are good enough to be saved for when I have peace and quiet
every time I look at his docs , the language he uses, the way he walks, I'm too late to go to my bed.This man is a real genius in making docs...Much thanks !
I can watch Waldemar all day. I love it when they release a new film.
Mr. Januszczak can make anything and everything fascinating and " absolutely fabulous." His unique intellect/ personality supersedes the content of his documentaries.
If we had all had an art history teacher half as imaginative and exciting as Waldemar Janus., we would all appreciate and understand art so much more!
I really like Waldemar. He is such a down to earth and sensible guy.
Waldemar's narration is throughly enjoyable.
"This isn't the handiwork of a particularly clever scientist, it's the handiwork of a particularly pessimistic visionary; in the mind of Leonardo da Vinci, exquisite knowledge had turned into exquisite despair." @ 12:51 Brilliant, Waldemar, simply brilliant!
This docu is a great find for someone like me who's just gone back to art @ 63 years young!
Love how dramatic this dude is about art. Makes me so hype
I took art history at university. I remember mannerism being described as a distorted style that grew out of the Renaissance period. This lecture explains it better. Thank you.
As a student of Medieval history, your works on art history of those times has enriched my understanding of religious complexities of the era. Thank you.
This is the second best thing that can happen on Saturday evening. Waldemar has opened my eyes to art better than anyone ever. He is an art god 🙏
i could watch and listen to Waldemar for eternity. Bold, questioning, thoroughly engaging and bloody funny!
Absolutely the best explanation of the seminal importance of El Greco to Picasso that I have ever heard. Thank you. I spent my childhood poring over my mother’s art books, and El Greco was always a puzzle and a weirdly entrancing painter. He made me feel uncomfortable, but I couldn’t stop looking at his work.
@ 49:17 ~ "Mannerism wasn't a reaction, it was a continuation, an enlargement. Instead of looking down on it as a decline, we should be looking up at it as a fabulous climax!" *swoon* Oh, Waldemar, you and your honeyed words.
I had a great art history teacher. He took us to Siena for one week to study roman, barbarian, medieval and Renaissance art. It made my life interesting. Thanks Sutter.
to be honest..I can't get enough of his vlogs! I studied art history and became an architect, and a LOT of what he is telling me goes against the teachings I've been tough. How can no informed historian figure out that the Van Eyke was not a wedding contract... I love this guy
