I love this era so much. Just looking at the paintings I feel inspired and motivated the energy I feel is so compelling it’s so different to put into words lol

good documentary, only spoiled by that repetitive music..

I married my wife who's from Tanger and when I went to her city, I fell in love twice. Bowles was right, it is a dream city and even with its modernized streets, its overcrowded streets, it still retains its classic North African ambiance when you walk around the Madinah Qadimah. We're planning to live there once the kids turn 5 and 6.

Merci

“The Sheltering Sky” is the most well-written book that I have ever read out of the hundreds of examples I have enjoyed. His style and exposition is rather palatable and unforgettable in how I digested his thoughts and diction. He is the most eloquent writer of the last century and I am so thankful have known his works. Bless your soul and May you be remembered for a long time.

I love his voice and long and masculine arms and hands

I had to stop trying to watch this because of the intrusive music. Do the makers think that words and images alone are not enough?

Shame a documentary examining such beautiful art is presented in such terrible video quality.

Bro's yapping

yes he is her hubby

Good exposition and illustration of this pivotal point in English painting. The vigorous narrator adds to it. His crisp diction matches the crispness of the painting style. Thank you.

Bouleversant de beauté..merci..

Can someone post : the age of genius by Andrew Marr?

Nutty violin music.

He is the ultimate INFJ . But I know an INFJ from Morocco. And I am INFJ .

Thank you so much for sharing such a perfect performance of Jeremy Irons. I had never heard it before. Only him could do it.

Sack the band.

his impressions are sound!

I love the Pre-Raphaelite arts, and enjoyed watching this very enlightened documentary, only that, the tick tick background music makes the whole series sounds like a forensic investigation program.

Fill my life with beauty. All the light I can not see. Suffuse my mind with glory. And pure and hallowed be.

at 34:00 Burroughs 😄

A tricky individual. Interesting life with all he knew. A kind of centerless life with himself in the middle; fiction and fact become one. Thanks, really enjoyed it.

18.36 there is a person playing a statue, watch closely. they move

"insalubrious"...good word

More blind liberal academic revisionism of a that nation's most darkly decadent painters. To ground oneself down on the social context of art always automatically entails a leftist orientation. It's laughable to see Brits trying to make these Decadents analogous to Impressionists dragging easels out to parks and cafes. The Pre-Raphaelites recreated nature from the Decadent ritual solitude of black-velvet-draped chambers. Their painting has a hieroglyphic exactitude and cold pictorial stoniness that SEPARATES itself from its social background by its Apollonian incised edge. What these eggheads call detail of nature is really mummification, hyper-objectification and fixation. They show too-muchness, the hallmark of decadence. It's why even their landscapes are paralyzed in stasis. Turning nature’s perpetual motion to perceptual stasis, they're the polar opposite of the freewheeling Impressionists. It's why the petrified nature of Art Nouveau evolved out of the Pre-Raphaelites. Everything is flash-frozen into a radiant, iconic materiality for the eye-playground of Decadent Alexandrian connoisseurship. Even Ford Madox Brown's landscapes might as well be vegetation candied in bell jars.

LOL! They were total Decadents, even the "Pre-Raphaelite" label is itself a lie - there's nothing "Pre" about them, they totally corrupted Pre-Raphaelite medievalism with Italian Renaissance style, specifically Mantegna’s Donatello-derived Apollonian hardness. These egg-headed homely British art historians do their best to fantasize this away - the one at 19:30 actually makes the ass backwards remark of Millais' "Mariana": "she desires sexual fulfillment." This is COMPLTELY missing the lassitude and closure of Decadence, hallmarks of a style of exhaustion and solipsistic self-embowerment. Decadence is about dead ends. It repels sex. It's not "addressing a social issue" (yawn), its haunting women are Romantic apparitions in a Victorian salon. Even evangelical Ruskin, , for whom medieval Venice is a Virgin and Renaissance Venice a whore, has to admit they're painting 'what seems to them' to be there. In other words, a subjective fire burns behind that supposed medieval moralism.

His comments regarding Americans in general is spot on.

Back then when art was actually good.

This man has recorded a musical chant of some girls from Rif who was brought to the recording palce mandatorly by the fascistic regime of moroccan regime. It was just after few months of the massive genoceds agaisnt these Region but he when there anyway and he knew they would force them to sing, but the Riffain girls were so intelligent to pass underlying messages of what was going by the words which the moroccan colonialists don't understand. In those recordings The Riffain girls explained how the whole region was crushed by the army, and in horrific manner women waped, children killed, men killed and tortured. and they added that How the Caid of the moroccan police brought them forcely to sing this stranger who care less about the mourning of the whole region after 1958-59 genocies of the Moroccan monarchy againt Rif region.

@27:00__ I wonder if Bowles met Gerald Heard __ it seems he uses Automatic Writing, which is unfortunately considered phooey fakery, however using another Name- as Bowles does, qualifies the reality of "unconsciousness automatic writing".

Crazy to see how they were doing what the Impressionists 10 years before Monet or Cezanne

William Hunt's painting is intense ....

There is so much meaning in art before Modern art or Abstract art ... just my opinion ....

So much reading into these painting's ....not like today .. ALL Mish Mash Modern art 🎭 with color being the predominant theme ...so different ....

Thanks for posting this!!

I think he might be my soulmate.

'All his books remind you of something you forget yourself and you find when you read his books.' Here in this sentence is the reason why travel, exchange and migration are so important to our development as human beings - because people get to see themselves through the eyes of the newcomer.
