Great production and wonderful narration. thank you and more of this please.

[@RintyRine]

Please keep these poetic videos coming! They are criminally underrated

[@milanvandergraaf9769]

Liked this one. Could you maybe talk more about the composition techniques in future episodes. I would think people are interested

[@ConfusedProud]

Fantastic video! The vaporwave reference made me chuckle.

[@camilopalomino8319]

Hola, muchas gracias por compartir. Me parece muy bien documentado y producido tu video. Me extraña que solo tengas 2 videos en tu canal...

[@GreatArtExplained]

This is a really great video, thanks!

[@muskanparekh9354]

Thank You

[@prog00017]

Wonderful video. Weirdly, a lot of the pieces reminded me of the JPN/EU cover of ICO, the ps2 game. I realize now where they pulled that art style from. I wonder if they got the title from Chir*ICO* too?

[@rgc93]

I thought exactly of this once I came upon Chirico's paintings! Amazing that both drew me in so strongly before even realizing the connection.

[@CONTACTLIGHT2]

The lead artist on Ico has explicitly said that he was directly inspired by Chirico's paintings.

[@PanzonVilla]

Dude you’re narration is so good. I mean the editing and everything is well-done as well but you’re a really good writer

[@xavierrocaalbiol8350]

Man i absolutely have 0 artistic talent and don't even have the intention or interest of ever learning anything... BUT You and your videos here and on Rhystic are my only source of Art Culture, thanks to you and your videos i feel like at least i understand the soul of many paintings and works. Thank you, really .I owe you a lot for teaching me so much

[@auroralee]

I really have to commend you for your research on the inspiration and drive behind his art. I dont think I've ever seen that name pop out to me at any art museum I've been to in recent years, but now knowing of his work I'm enthralled and eager for more. As a huge fan of surrealist art it is a treat to see these preliminary experiments in the art world around painting the metaphysical, and how it tries to the developing philosophy of the time.

[@nidza6514]

This is probably the only academic level/credible video essay I watched on yt. Sir, thank you, this is quality.

[@dingusdong]

I’m suing KZbin for not recommending everyone on the platform this video.

[@urrinor]

Interesting to know that scene in Suspiria was an homage to De Chirico. I have always connected that in my mind to his piazza paintings! Keep these videos coming Sam :)

Excellent work Sam!

[@cash_machi0896]

thanks so much for this, really helped with my art a level personal study

[@ACG721]

Magnifico

[@macklegros]

Lovin these, keep up the great work!

[@smartkaboose3806]

[@tommasomonaci3381]

So happy to see an other new essay from you! Always intresting and insightfull.

[@CodCats]

thanks for making this I really loved it

[@biegebythesea6775]

I should have watched your whole channel during lockdown.

[@xyzllii]

The man is not exactly a laugh a minute but I love his work.

[@noitidrep]

Thanks for making this video. Got really into the art of this man and there was an exhibition in Paris a fex months later which i went to and it was incredible. Just wanted to share :)

[@aragon58]

These are amazing keep it up!

[@krlbcn]

I wish this would actually become a source for learning more about art

[@dayanvaleriovazquez4263]

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@OGJackW]

Dude I totally love your essays. Doing more artists not with mtg would be awesome!

[@MAronson]

fantastico!

[@O1NKery]

I'd love to see a video about Alphonse Mucha's work. this one was really well made!

[@jpricej10]

Loved this video! Would like to learn more about the connection between de Chirico and Nietzsche... is there a particular resource you'd recommend?

[@BlueMapEssays]

a good starting point to get an idea of De Chirico's interpretation of metaphysics is here: fondazionedechirico.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/24.-n.56-Metafisica-Discorso-sulla-materia-pittorica-ENG-541-547.pdf otherwise, there are many interviews (written and recorded) where he points to Nietzsche as his favorite author and philosopher, and one of his greatest inspirations.

[@jordanbrown4779]

Hope you come back to this project. I know you for MTG but you have a gift at analyzing art.

[@TastySnackies]

Here’s to hoping you return on this channel

[@nicolasdelaforge7420]

A moment in life might come when you realize the 'materiality' of the world, and it's schoking. The quote at the end seems to point to that: that realization is hidden from us; but it is lurking in the shadows of everyone of us (and every empty Piazza). Nietzsche would have looked into the shadows...

[@remervision]

This is excellent. I would like to correspond with you about de Chirico, how can I do that?

[@krarksthirdthumb2506]

Miss(ed) you

[@arianjamali6183]

Why he doesn't upload anymore?

[@leontorresslightsketches8014]

Come back man, it's been 5 months.

[@johnappleby405]

Surely he was an influence on Edward Hopper?

[@envyxsavi8033]

Escher would be cool

[@2MeatyOwlLegs]

Though I can't really say I find his kind of paintings very interesting, I appreciate your work here. Thank you for exposing me to art that I would usually just look at and move on and make me think about it. But one thing I do not fully understand. When you mention his critizism of contemporary painters you state that he was of the opinion that those painters lacked in quality. What kind of quality did he mean?

[@mjolninja9358]

Dude left yputube after 2 uploads 😔

[@nexem9950]

Very inaccurate description of Italy. Really shows how little you actually know about italian people
