Know the Artist: Helen Frankenthaler

[@danemorley86]

For the quality of this video, it is criminal that it has so little views. This channel serves as a great introduction to several artists. And while its probably not done for the likes or views - more a love of history and the arts - I hope you continue to produce videos like this and the show gets more views.

Thanks so much Dane! We’re definitely in it for the love of art so stay tuned...

[@lynndejager2110]

I’m very glad I stumbled upon this channel while looking for information on Frankenthaler for a school project. Amazing video, thank you!

[@TheArtTourist]

Thank you! Glad to be of service!

[@riffraftmusic8669]

Great colors in the artworks--thanks for taking the time!

[@stephanerichard6267]

I didnt know much about this artist, thanks for posting. :)

[@TheArtTourist]

Awesome! She’s definitely worth having on your radar :)

[@Purplelightningtiger]

Thank you guys for making these videos, really enjoy the information and paintings led by these artists 😀. As well as the cool animated drawings of them 😁.

[@TheArtTourist]

Thanks so much!

When I watched this video i was like, "why wasn't this suggested to me before?" then I saw how underappreciated your channel is. Such a polished video, good presentation too. I feel bad how underrated your videos are. I sincerely hope you get what you deserve from making such videos

[@TheArtTourist]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re growing slowly, but surely :) Above all else we just enjoy making these videos and love hearing when our viewers get something out of them!

Great video, im not much of an art enthusiast but this beautiful girl has me glued!

[@Cantwaittovote]

Very well done.

Dalton was her second private school, enjoy her work while you can her technique of staining required thinning which results in pigment pooling and cracking and fading in other areas.

[@basthejokester]

So from the videos you've made and looked at your channel, it's more based on more recent artists? Let's say from the late 1800s (like Mucha) to now. We won't be seeing any artist before the time range like Baroque, Neo-Classical, or academic to name a few eras. Or is that something down the line but first you and Jason would like to focus on more recent times?

[@TheArtTourist]

Thanks for your comment! You're right that so far we've focused on artists from the 19th through the 21st centuries - favored eras for special exhibitions in most museums and galleries - but all styles and time periods are fair game here! We hope you stay tuned, lots more videos to come :)

[@basthejokester]

@@TheArtTourist Yea I'll stay I've enjoyed your videos so far

Love the twin peaks-esque opening

[@TheArtTourist]

Precisely the mood we were going for! Thank you :)

[@mickaelriga8169]

Ahaha I just spotted the same thing. Love Twin Peaks!

[@mickaelriga8169]

Twin Peaks inspired title screen. Isn't it?

[@TheArtTourist]

We’re Twin Peaks obsessed over here

[@spectralv709]

The presenter looks a bit like young Frankenthaler

[@shirleydregergilbert34]

bruh

[@spectralv709]

@@shirleydregergilbert34 was worried I was the only one who noticed

[@seanfaherty]

Yeah, only SOME New Yorkers go to the Hamptons . Regular folks just live in the same squalor your corrupt taxation system has imprisoned them in. Also - show the whole painting. They have some compositional interest but there’s not a lot going on there

[@daviddemar551]

Very nice video. Please speak more slowly or abstain from drinking coffee before you record a video

[@TheArtTourist]

Lol. We used a teleprompter that was running a bit faster than we realized

[@ahumphr]

Thanks so much for making this. As a kid I was fascinated by Frankenthaler and her color-field contemporaries, yet with so much to explore and learn, my tastes drifted away. Now, looking at your video presentation with eyes decades older, Frankenthaler's paintings seem more vital than when I first saw them.

[@TheArtTourist]

How wonderful to hear - that means a lot to us! We’re so glad our video helped renew your interest in her work :)

[@Peter-yk2hh]

Good presentation but dont skream talk slow

[@billnickels6667]

I am binge-watching! Thank you

[@TheArtTourist]

Thank you Bill!
