Appreciating Art in a New Way (BECOMING ARTSY 306)

Appreciate art in a new way and take a close look with Jessie at this masterpiece, and discover the life lessons it offers.

Thank you everyone for watching! We had an accidental number swap typo in the on-screen painting credit - please note George Segantini's Spring in the Alps was painted in 1897 (not 1987!) Thank you to everyone for looking closely at our paintings and our videos!

This is a fantastic episode, Jessie and Co. In 2014 after my wife passed away, The Getty became my refuge, my "happy place", the place where I would go when I needed a mental health day, which for a few years was often. I like to arrive when the museum first opens so that I can spend time with certain paintings without noisy crowds, while I do have my phone and I take a lot of pictures, it is an escape from screen time as well.
