1/2 Norman Ackroyd - What Do Artists Do All Day ?

[@L.C.Sweeney]

I had the pleasure of helping fix this man's boiler, located next to his studio. You're greeted by dozens upon dozens of hanging pieces when you enter. I wanted with all my heart to walk around and look at every one of them but my manager had no such intention. He was a lovely man and gave me a book on the mysticism of the Scottish Highlands. Many thanks for your kindness, Norman. I hope you and your family are well.

This video has brought me untold joy and it's a video I often returned to over the years to re-experience that joy and the wonder of watching him work. What he does here is mesmerizing and extremely beautiful. I was very sad to read of his death this morning. The world is much poorer without him. RIP Mr. Ackroyd.

[@yelkcubnai]

A wonderful glimpse of this great artist at work. All the more poignant following Norman Ackroyd's death 16 Sept 2024. RIP

[@kagewilliams4475]

I have to say, this series is crafted so well that it is one of the great pieces of Television.

[@PHlophe]

ain't it though lol!

[@tayloraron6566]

i know I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to watch new movies online?

[@thomasdamian5322]

@Taylor Aron try Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

[@callencory454]

@Thomas Damian Definitely, I've been using FlixZone for since april myself :D

[@tayloraron6566]

@Thomas Damian Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it !!

[@liammcooper]

One of my favorite artist documentaries of all time, from the setting, artwork, and cinematography.

[@bengoodwin2141]

I’m watching this for an art appreciation class, very interesting stuff!

[@venjositman2]

Wow. a very inspiring artist. Unlike other artists featured in this series, this man never talked about how great he is. Everything he said is about how amazing the art of printmaking is and how he respect and enjoys this craft. Thanks for posting!

[@georgiachen2875]

so much inspired by this series !

[@KeyDyer]

I watch these as I make art all day ❤

R.I.P - Norman Ackroyd.

[@7kurisu]

my mom was a yorkshire lass, as she used to say, but I dare say I don't have to have that connection to appreciate the truly breathtaking work Ackroyd makes....perfect

[@Thirdfish]

RIP Norman. 😥

[@DeboraNorton]

This is such a true...on going...thing with artists. People who are not artistic might not understand so this is important.

[@mpking-ey7ys]

He seems to be the most down-to-earth and unpretentious one among the other artists I have seen in this series.

[@classicartfoundation639]

That's because he's good, the shit artists are always arrogant

[@StephenGrew]

Getting up early is key. I do it. Done me work by 11 am. Recording.

[@Mind-Candy]

Wonderful workmanship ,so rare to see thank you for sharing you life Steven-richardson5

[@Amandavyz]

Absolutely loved seeing and learning more about the artist and his wonderful work. The whole process is fascinating. We own a print, "Loch" done for the Print Club of Cleveland in 1975, that came from my husband's family. I have always been curious about the artist. Thrilled to learn he is a Yorkshireman! Me too, well, Yorkshire woman. May you keep producing your beautiful etchings for many years to come..

[@BoCopenhagen]

Two beatiful videos! Some of the best stuf I have ever seen about printmaking.

[@chicit1]

Keep coming back to check on new episodes! Had to watch the old ones again and again, even though they inspire me every time! I wonder if you are still making more! It's so inspiring! PLEASE!!!!!

[@AnandaGarden]

These docs are wonderful. Thank you for breathtaking camerawork. Very immersive and moving.

[@ratpat]

Great series and beautiful work.

[@PetitFlorals]

This really is one of the most wonderful series I have ever seen. I especially enjoyed some of the illustrators segments. I am also an artist and found their experiences to inspiring to me. Thank you for creating and sharing this series on youtube so that I can gain wisdom from other creative artists who have struggled with their craft and identity.

[@juliegriffiths224]

this is beautiful x

[@woodrowclose]

Truly inspiring!!

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super art

[@eyeshandheartcamerablack2349]

the music at 3 mins 30 secs is The Divine Comedy - A Lady of a Certain Age

[@johndaarteest]

Thank you for letting us know.

[@sutil5078]

great doc. I like the artist.. here for a mini debate, or me if I were to interview him I would ask him , you are an artist, and love countryside, and landscape, why would not you paint, draw, in the field, instead of being in a dark factory while "itching" for open aire and being on the the country with simple charcol, or pen, or pallette and enjoying the real thing, especially that you are secured financially? I love to dig our inspriation, motivation etc... a good interview need to go further in my humble opinion.. would love to talk to him about his art.. thanks for the upload.. anyone guess why he chose indoor while he loves landscape and nature?

[@psychosissafari]

probably because he likes the process and results of copper plate etching so much

[@sutil5078]

@@psychosissafari maybe it is that, as for some of us the novelity of mechinical process can not beat the pleasure of drawing real outdoor. Maybe UK weather has something to do with it.

[@kwillwhat]

The Sound needs to be fixed. Its off in the beginning and goes up in other parts.

[@taran333tula]

I had to remove some (copyright-claim) music tracks...otherwise the video was blocked..

[@richardjones186]

And out-of-sync.

[@saadilyas86]

Appropriately the music is by her daughter, poppy ackroyd.

[@sheilasinghal2922]

The content is great, but the sound (or lack thereof) from time to time is incredibly distracting.

[@johndaarteest]

Probably trying to avoid copyrighting issues.

[@plumeretbonnet]

😍

[@dallispuckery4561]

The sound is pretty pants. It cuts out to total silence whenever he’s not talking. It’s very disorienting... 😅

[@SuperVictorGaGa]

what is the name of the guitar musician / music at 3 mins 30 secs, does anyone know please ?

[@eyeshandheartcamerablack2349]

the music at 3 mins 30 secs is The Divine Comedy - A Lady of a Certain Age

[@flungingpictures]

BBC World News was showing this as a filler on 20181228

[@AMHC95]

Please, somebody knows the music we hear at 3:29 ? Thanks

[@eyeshandheartcamerablack2349]

the music at 3 mins 30 secs is The Divine Comedy - A Lady of a Certain Age

[@boukirnaim5938]

Can someone tell me the title of the music we hear to 1:35 PLEASE ????

[@taran333tula]

I believe it's : Ludovico Einaudi - Questa Notte

[@boukirnaim5938]

I just checked but it is not the piece..! However it is also good. thank you.

[@taran333tula]

Boukir Naim after 1:35 is from : Red Norvo - It Can Happen to You

[@boukirnaim5938]

Not anymore... It's a piano music, it starts at 1:35 and finished 2:29. I remember having heard, but I do not know the author or title...

[@taran333tula]

Boukir Naim the third track in the video is from : Dudas/Hart - My Baby Loves Me

[@unsungm]

The sound goes in and out. Is this on purpose? Is it an artistic device? It doesn’t work for me. Otherwise, thanks for posting about art.

[@angelwings7930]

Completely ruined it by adding the unnecessary footage of the bloody butcher shop. There’s nothing clever about that. It’s sad and upsetting. Whoever approved that is a complete jerk. What’s wrong with people? Can’t save this video to my playlist because I’d rather not see that again. 👎🏻 but as I watched it the first time I noticed it’s abruptly cut right off when he’s in a tapas bar. Why was the ending not included ?

[@johndaarteest]

That's the second time you've put this, seems like you seem to have issues to deal with if it's bothering you and you seem to be the only one to have complained about it. Considering that the animals that you saw are NOW - at this moment - dead and not suffering anymore, the only suffering being endured is your own for whatever reason that is. As I said, you seem to have issues that need looking at.
