Lecture15 Cubism, Futurism & Suprematism

[@julyjuniper573]

Never been to college, but I get giddy every time you post a new lecture. Never edit out your laugh, it’s great!! Thank you, sir.

[@r.j3773]

When I listened to one of your lectures, I felt as if I had found a treasure. Being an art student, I did not get this valuable information except through your lectures and in this detailed and accurate way. Once to listen is not enough, from time to time I used to go back to listen to it as if I was listening to it for the first time. Thank you very much for this great effort.

[@edwardcalcutt3417]

Travis, your videos are so excellent. I'm not a Utah Valley student ( I am an ASMR enthusiast, but more with random people browsing antiques ), but am a tour guide in London, and have been taking long strolls and listening to your videos. It is a wonderful teaching into the world of art history. Brilliant job!

[@valentinamadrid-gd7yg]

I have an exam tomorrow and this is the most I've learnt of these topics. You covered everything that we did in class. What an amazing lecture. It was very entertaining and interesting. Thank you.

I once had the good fortune to visit an exhibit of Malevich's suprematist art. As I stood in front of, "White on White," "Black Square," and "Black Circle," I was struck by their painterly qualities. I noticed the brush strokes and how gracefully they were applied and how they (the paintings) worked so wonderfully as a paintings. Those qualities are lost in print, and yet they are so much a part of the character, aesthetic and joy of the works.

[@KT_571]

Thank you for these wonderful videos! I'm learning so much more than in my art classes and books! Love it!

[@robertwang7785]

Your videos on Art History are the best. Thanks for your father and mother who let you making your own career choice.👍

This is my new favourite channel❤️❤️❤️

I am not a student at Utah Valley, but I absolutely love your lectures. I know these are from 3 years ago now, but I needed something to listen to as I paint (I myself am a student at an arts college) and found these, and am thoroughly enjoying them

[@francescomanconi4241]

Absolutely loved your video , informative & fantastic.

[@judithcrannell5629]

Your series takes me back to Art History class at Parsons. I have been wanting to relive it, so I thank you immensely!

[@PrivateHaggard]

Honestly, I'm not an arts guy, but your lectures are amazing and I love being pulled into a world I wasn't involved in until know. I'll be staying all your video! Keep up the amazing work my man

[@missatrebor]

I enjoy immensely these lectures by Travis Lee Clark. And in case you are wondering what he is talking about at 6:10 minutes, it is saltimbanques and if course harlequins.

[@MsSwight]

Love everything about this video! Thank you very much.

[@Trimethopimp]

Very interesting and informative, good work. Look forward to watching more of your videos

[@devanshisaini8256]

Thank you so much❤ there are very limited art history educational videos on youtube and to find this gem of a channel is truly helpful, Love from India❤️

[@mmanzanox]

Great class professor. Thank you for uploading. Love the ASMR, by the way

[@SaltLake180]

Totally enjoyed the lecture. thank you so much.

[@donaldivanfontowitz8971]

Travis, I love your lectures! But I think Kandinsky is not the first person to create a non-objective abstraction. It was Hilma af Klint. Please what is your opinion on this? Thank you.

[@deborahmichaels7458]

Wow! Fantastic! Thank you!

[@luke6400]

thank you so much for another banger video sir

You have a great voice

Yes indeed, much chair creak, and my tablet computer Dolby settings make the creak very real

[@alexandrkurnakov9609]

Loving this! Just Russian civil was wasn't between Bolshevicks and Menshivicks. it was between Red (Bolshevicks) and White (mostly monarchists and some other anti-bolshvicks)

[@PaulMacklinAmazing]

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) created her first abstract paintings in 1906

[@moeaboulkheir]

I haven't made it to the end, but I'm hoping Wyndham Lewis gets some credit for working in "pure abstractions" circa 1912.

[@normanstratford9329]

Art history has to follow the fashion or style of the day. Picasso did a series of painting of past masters, but the art history authorities were not interested as other events had taken place and art attention was then centred in the USA. Movements come and go.

[@jrb4935]

'Les Demoiselles' is partly based on Titian's 'Diana and Actaeon'.

[@naughtiusmaximus110]

Everytime someone says that prostitutes from Picasso's painting are from Avignon, one puppy dies :( They are from Barcelona. More precisely from a brothel in Barcelona situated on Avignon Street.

[@zachhiggins1668]

What a coincidence film was coming into its own almost the moment art went to "heaven", went full abstract

[@RP-mm9ie]

Thanks

Synthetic Cubism. Juan Gris? Fav.

[@ryanoverfield5333]

Thank you Dr. Clark for posting your lectures for everyone. I am not a student of yours however I really enjoy your lectures. I appreciate your passion and knowledge of art history. Do you cover the history outsider art?

[@ericpham8205]

motion is bad because what you left behind is part of your spirit that was combining with gasoline would woven into the craziness ruled the city metal patient. otherwise why not create fuel less car of flying fuel less car?

[@spectralmelodies5979]

I'll never get over how modern art happened because painters started realizing how lit pre-colonial works are. Kinda makes me wonder about the whole "grand procession of history" thing.

[@capuchinosofia4771]

One could say it *is* a procession, but some of it was made by looking back. (If not most, in some manner or another) Cubisms looked at pre colonialist artworks (masks, the like) Renaissance looked at old greek sculptures and mannierists for inspiration And Pre-raphaelites looked at the quattrocento and more traditional biblical illustrations.

[@valerie_529]

Mark Chagal was Belarusian, Kazymyr Malevych and Volodymyr Tatlin were Ukrainian. They were just as "russian", as Van Gogh or Picasso were French.

[@meguidelnahas970]

1917, still during the war!

[@unknownunknown5822]

I wonder if pablo training for realism at a young age and making fantastic pieces after his father trained him had traumatized him and that's why he was on the hunt for a style that didn't represent realism. I remember working so hard to make realistic pieces of art, it's long and painful. Then once you pick up a pencil again the rules of bodies and life are so ingrained in your head that it's impossible to enjoy yourself

[@unknownunknown5822]

Then after all that hard work all I get is a "good job" like thanks, super worth it. Which is why I guess Cubism is considered revolutionary because it changes the standard for a good art piece.

[@TacseraEpSekahs]

There is actually theories that early works of Picasso wasn't drawn by him, but by his dad mostly. And he only finished them and put a signature. Cannot remember for sure all the arguments towards this theory, but I think there was something about style similarities, continuing picture right after his sister's death, and the difference between the same scene in his early and later works (how religion was portrayed etc)

[@poorgamerslobby9794]

The racism is wild

[@spectralmelodies5979]

oh for heavens sake Communism is not Fascism.

[@valerie_529]

Well, it was pretty similar to Fascism in the USSR.

@@Elkerjjrhebrnekalskdbrbtjel Both mine and my husband's families are Ukrainians. At least three generations of our families either died or were born in the USSR. My great-granddad was killed by the KGB. Several of my friends' relatives suffered from the KGB as well, some were kidnapped by the KGB and never returned home. What is worse, four of my husband's relatives died from Stalin's Holodomor - a famine that was designed specifically as a form of genocide against Ukrainians. You are more than welcome to read about it. These are the stories I know personally, because our families keep memories of the people who died under the USSR's regime. And that's not to mention how many Ukrainian writers, artists, scientists, philanthropists were killed by Russia just because they were Ukrainians.

@@Elkerjjrhebrnekalskdbrbtjel or, maybe, you need to be reminded of some more obvious similarities? Like the authoritarian regime, or heavy use of propaganda, or total economic control, or the existence of repressions? Militarisation?
