El día que conocí el teatro kabuki quedé hechizada porque es como una fuerza de la naturaleza. Para entenderlo dependo de las explicaciones en inglés. Pero debe de ser grandioso comprenderlo en japonés, sin la menor duda. Gracias por subir esta maravilla. Uruguay

👏👏👏

Brilliant!

As a wood carver, i could easily make Japanese masks by the dozens. They're really not that impressive. Carving the same things over and over again requires muscle memory, not talent.

Congratulations Suleiman and thanks for inspiring me to reread my Spring Snow - my birthday gift from Craig in March 2003.

incredible 🙌🏻

Glad to see you're still around! The editing style blends well with your movements.

I truly hope you find the time to make more videos soon, your content is always so fascinating to watch. I'd be lying if I said I didn't find them inspiring, and invoking such passion in myself to learn as much as possible.

Thanks for an enjoyable video. Ive just returned from a second visit, a lovely exhibition. Some wonderful paintings that I haven't seen before including a few Van Goghs and Gauguins. I also liked the sculpture of Balzac. Yes some music would be nice, Wagner another impressionists favourite.

"Does it doesn't matter to you to leave behind a body of work?” Yes it does but at the same time no it doesn't. I have a friend who is writing a book which is themed around this very idea. (They might chime in) Are we content to live a life without our own self expression? Just looking at the works of others. I think many just enjoy the works of others. But for the artist there's a suffering for not creating.

Inbelievably superb singing. Have maybe never heard Tézier this sumptuous (16 years ago this!). Exquisite. Thanks so very much.

Great concept !! Loving it !! Brown suit , is it so basic?.?.

El retrato que aparece en el principio de Vídeo, corresponde al infante Don Fernando, hermano del Rey Don Felipe IV, es obra de Velázquez y se expone en el Museo de El Prado. En infante aludido vivió en el S. XVII. El Don Carlos de la ópera verdiana, hijo del Rey Don Felipe II, vivió un siglo antes.

Though not a 'religious' person, I note with gratitude how the world's religions set out a wide menu for responses to your question....does anything we do or leave behind matter? And they allow us a certain artistry in the attiude we take to any answer. If you want to feel like a node of desitny, read the Wisdom of Odin, the Havamal (esp. 77: "Deyr fę,deyia frǫndr...) Cattle die, Friends die, And the same with you; But I know of something that never dies And that's a dead person's deeds;;. If you prefer tragic wisdom, King Solomon (AKA captain Bring-Down) is your man. A glance at any section of the Book of Ecclesiastes would turn the jolliest tambourine-shaking zealot into a nihilist I'm surprised it ever made the edit for the bbile, it basically says that nothing is worth doing, all our works turn to dust, no-one will remember, so nothing matters www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes%201&version=NIV

Fabulous story ~~~~ part of the essence being sheer joy :~)

very beautiful

Amazing👍👍👍👍

I think both theories are correct. IMO it is both making use of an established artistic convention and creating a 'brand'.

Always nice to discover a new garden in London. Thanks Suli for sharing this secret place - looking forward to my first visit.

Thanks Suli for eloquent film on this aspirational magazine. Saw Lady with a Fan on Tuesday afternoon - the first time ever, since it was painted in 1917-1918, that it has been exhibited in London (here to be enjoyed, for free and for all, at Sotheby's until 27 June. It has only been exhibited four times before - Vienna in 1920 and 2021-2, Tokyo in 1981, and in Poland in 1992 - interestingly all moments I associate with new, but fleeting, avant-garde developments in art.

dazzling

Lovely--location of garden?

❣❣❣

Brilliant.

Beautiful work 🩰🎹

Sublime 🎶

Many thanks for the suggestions! I know you are impossibly busy so here are two very swift snippets which may be of interest, though somewhat dark and left-field. ''Street of Crocodiles'' is one of the most mournfully strange and best-choreographed works of puppetry I know of. The whole show is around 20 mins but this, ''The Dressmakers'', is perhaps the strongest scene because it disrupts the slow tempo and tension of much of the rest of the piece... it hits harder in context. Riggots are a punkster duo from Lancashire and the pairing of their song with this dance conjures something which is, I feel, more than the sum of already powerful parts. Thanks again! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIiWlYpqrrJ_nKc kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXrVaH1ooc13bK8

I prefer Fischer-Dieskau to Bostridge, but thank you anyway for sharing this song and your thoughts!

Woohoo, I'm all caught up now! 😄 This has been a fantastic series, I'm glad I stumbled upon it. It's so nice to see someone engaging in artwork with similar tastes and aesthetics to mine. While I was familiar with Klimt, I hadn't known about Schiele and am glad to be learning much about him. In a future video, would it be possible for you to discuss the relationship between geiko/karyukai and kabuki? As someone more familiar with the former, I'm curious to know the similarities and differences between the two, from your perspective.

Here's another fun blue pigment fact that you may or may not have heard before: the famous blue and white pottery from China became far more abundant during the 14th century under the Yuan dynasty because of the Mongols. They had such a vast range over their empire, that it was possible for them to efficiently transport the cobalt blue pigment from Persia and send it back to China to make the pottery. Personally, one of my dreams is to go to the Jingdezhen pottery workshops where such ceramics have been made for centuries.

I once heard that a film goes through three evolutions: the story in the script, the story on the film set, and the story in the editing room. Or if you use the analogy of cooking, there's the dish in the recipe book, the dish as it's being put together in the kitchen, and the dish on the dining room table. So to me, editing is not something to be done in isolation or on its own, but a part of a larger gestalt or context. In other words, editing is only possible when there is something to edit.

Could a name be considered a tool? I know in the classical sense that a tool is a material object used for creation, but the previous discussions of Schiele's diversity in signatures in his artwork might suggest that the names we use to identity ourselves and others are like abstract tools. Anyways, I'll have to think about my own seven tools for my trade and come back to this!

Ah, what a perfect environment to feature Marx in for this video! The excerpt reminds me of a couple thoughts. I'm first reminded of Alan Watts, who often described an individual's relationship to the universe as analogous to a wave's relationship to the ocean. The way the water is described at the end as immense and solid as jade also makes me think of a lyric from a song in the 1974 film of Le Petit Prince: "Why is the desert so lovely at night?" "Why is the desert so lovely at night?" "Millions of reasons," "Tell me just one," "At night the desert is hiding the sun." Maybe the reason why the water towards to the horizon feels so deep and precious is because we know it's hiding its power somewhere within.

Just want to point out the surname, Munch, is pronounced /mʉŋk/ according to his family and bearers of the surname, though the most common pronunciation in Norwegian is /mʊŋk/. There has even been a pronunciation debate that peaked during 2005/2006. Now the /mʉŋk/-pronunciation is predominately used on our state owned news channel NRK, whereas the /mʊŋk/-pronunciation is used at the museum. Regardless of the pronunciation you choose, <ch> is pronounced /k/.

I love the spontaneous interactions with your dog throughout this experiment, I think they really highlight the conscious and unconscious movements you were mentioning in your earlier videos.

Do you know the name of the flower in the background of this video? (hint: it's known as the King of flowers in Japan)

😍

Fab I’m loving what you are putting up. My uncle has taught me a little of Kabuki. Thank you for sharing all of this ~~~~ I’m learning a lot from the way you present each day. Deep gratitude and thanks ~~~~~~

Your reflections around five minutes in remind me of something Robert Lenkieiwicz said to me: I think it was his very free rendition of something by Nietzsche, but he delivered it well. It went something like... ''Even when our life seems like a narrow bridge over an abyss, there are still choices about how to cross that bridge... we can cower down and look only at our feet as we creep across, or keep our senses open and stride over it courageously, like a dancer or warrior.''

Thank you so much for your wonderful explanation! I enjoyed it and learned a lot.

King Lear is my favourite play. Thank you deeply for your life teaching about the flower path as you journey life in mutli dimensional facets ~~~~~~~~ you are teaching amongst many things Hope ~~~~~~~~

Yes. You are right. The Japanese prints took Europe by storm . New artists wanted to incorporate the images into the design of their paintings.

I so enjoy your offerings.

Thank you for your video. Beautifuly comments!❤

Totally agree about mixing up the physical methods of writing. Working on a computer screen can be like ''writing through a letterbox'', having to scoll back and forth. What I find helpful is to work on large sketch-pads and loose A4 pages as well as on computer. Then when a certain mass of material is in place, print off the computer writings and have a day at a large table with scissors, literally cutting things up and re-arranging and selotaping things in place where the pace of the writing demands. Unless one has prefect recall, it is impossible to evaluate ''the big picture' of your work on a computer screen. Good luck and hard work will see you through!

Mortality is the essence of real art. Something that the filthy, shameful, con of AI art will never understand.

Noooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a fine testament to Sakamoto's character that despite his early and extensive training in ethnomusicology and classical composition, he never disdained the writing of great pop music. Not only does it show humility but it seems REALLY difficult for those whose skills are formed by years of music theory to be creative within the confines of pop genres. Sakamoto seemed happy to explore and create in any zone.

Another of the few deserved heroes of my youth gone. :(

Interesting and relevant find, since not only am I editing my activities in my life, but I'm also editing people in and out of it. Mars 27 2023 P. S. What is the name of the painting in the thumbnail?
