Abstract: The Art of Design | Christoph Niemann: Illustration | FULL EPISODE | Netflix

[@PresidentNare]

As a teacher, thank you SO MUCH to Netflix for putting this series up on KZbin. I have many disadvantaged students who do not have Netflix at home, so being able to give them this amazing series to periodically watch as assignments is brilliant.

[@jenniferzepeda121]

Same here! These are so helpful for my high school yearbook class.

[@NotacarryZ]

bruh

[@georginikov5026]

Not having Netflix is making you disadvantaged you say?

[@hasalibaddewithana900]

@@georginikov5026 They said they have 'disadvantaged students who do not have Netflix', not 'students that are disadvantaged by not having Netflix'. As in, students who are possibly living in a poor financial situation, who also do not have Netflix. And in any case, not having access to a resource - if it's for the purpose of learning - would make a student disadvantaged in comparison to other students that do have access to that particular resource.

[@mmclovinn2453]

Everyone know the song 21:00 ?

[@MarcCardwell]

17:34 "it's about showing up and getting started, and then something amazing happens or it doesn't happen, all that matters is that you enable the chance for something to happen and for that you have to sit at your desk and you have to draw and do and make decisions and hope for the best."

[@LutraLovegood]

You miss every shot that you don't take. And like my mom said, If you want to win the lottery, you have to buy a ticket

[@nydh5647]

35:35 another profound moment.

[@СашаКуриџа]

OMG this is one of the best short documentaries that I watch! Anybody who has a little knowledge about German spirit, philosophy, and art must notice how much Christoph manages to overcome himself in his own progress again and again! The whole episode is outstanding! Thank you Christof and Netflix!

[@JB-ml6ir]

27:03 - Did anyone else notice the lamp's amazing timing?

[@davoxime]

Yes

[@EliKazybek]

you are so observant ! so cool!

[@clover-v3z]

Yes

[@OddClarity]

I love how this doesn't pull the punches it is really difficult working creatively but like Niemann and that other guy said "while others are waiting for inspiration to strike the rest of us just turn up and get to work." *thumbs up* indeed

[@malikafazliddinova6047]

One of the best documentaries I've ever watched! So inspiring!

[@jaswanthreddybora740]

" It's not about doing different things , it's all about doing things differently " - I think this sums up this video

[@Amiss_Artt]

"inspiration is for amateurs', us professionals just go to work in the morning." it's just about showing up and getting started, something amazing happens or doesn't. boy I love this sentence in so many levels. that's exactly what I'm trying to promote, I was stuck on not getting inspired for so long but all that matters is simply to show up and do it! and one day it will be amazing!

[@BeyondXXY]

The day when you get inspired. 😂

[@eimantasjukna2638]

27:04 the lamp as he said crashing down

[@einLome]

was looking for this comment. lol.

[@khwaishjain1341]

The details

[@vaughngaminghd]

so perfect!

[@aesthincipher5820]

they did it on purpose?

[@justlavra]

As an artist, I encounter the same problems, Chris. It is so relaxing to understand that you're not alone coping with them. What's even better is to find solutions to these problems. Thanks once again for making this episode public

[@RiteshManTamrakar]

Loved it. Fantastic. "if experiencing art is so amazing, How great must it be to actually make this stuff" :)

[@aadeshtripathi3969]

15:45 the mirror cupboard looks like it has a handle because of the reflection of the door behind christoph, insanely creative video thanks netflix for uploading it for free

[@carolinar.a.7425]

Just perfect! It's totally true when u said: If experiencing art is so amazing, wouldn't it be great to create it?, the perfect trap, then... office, clients, hurry up!..hahaha. Thank you very much for letting us see a little behind your work. Please Netflix, Abstract II ;)

[@alejmitra7483]

Love this guy, his POV about how create art. One of my favs "Abstract" episodes.

[@Black__Cat]

Wait! Did Netflix forget their password? 😆 Nevertheless thanks for the free content. Appreciate it

[@rohithpadikkal7082]

It's good marketing, isn't it? Releasing a few of your shows online for free so that even more people will join the platform. Anyways, why am I even complaining, it's free real estate!

[@OysterPir8]

This deserves SERIOUS awards. I am also a teacher. I learned so much from this and my 9-year old niece did too, right alongside. THANK YOU to all who made this happen!!!!!

[@jessicasgarden]

My favorite episode. Love the depth. Thank you for letting us in Christoph.

[@tsenthungo7228]

I never thought myself as graphic designer when I was just a kid but now I'm 24 and I've realise that I've been that think like a designer my hole life and I'm glade I chose my life an artist. Great episode to relate with.

[@Mackesomething]

Beautiful work, to the people who created this! Amazing, compelling, fun storytelling, beautiful visuals and perfect animations. And thanks you Netflix for putting this on KZbin for free!

[@KerrieRedgate]

Christoph Niemann: wonderful talent, wonderful mind. He may not realise it, but he is a Zen Master! Wish I could thank him for showing us how to see reality for what it is - something entirely different!

[@olaade730]

I'm in love, I think I became a big fan of Christoph, I just love his life and what he does for a living. A perfect example of making a living out of your passion

[@losangeleslovesyou]

Top 10 favorite series on Netflix.

[@aminjodeirie]

Can you offer other 9 series? 🙏

[@m.dziane4558]

What's the other ones

[@karthikpuvvula]

I am a software developer and Illustration is my hobby. It's beautiful the way he sees the world and the way he is able to express it.

[@KazenoniKakuremi]

This series and the one about video games (high score) are both unique and brilliant. This is pure genius... The storytelling is 🔥 41:20 😂😂 brilliant loopback to Charlie Brown

[@DUAREcanal]

Me encanta ese momento en el minuto 41:59, esa sonrisa de realización cuando disfrutas de la expresión de asombro y satisfacción de tu cliente viendo materializada la parte más importante del proyecto.

[@stefanoricci5060]

An amazing artist and an amazing documentary. It’s so inspiring.

[@octavioavila6548]

3:36 it’s like going to sleep, you have to lay down and pretend to go to sleep and then the body magically goes to sleep. Similarly with art and design, you stare at the paper and wait for the magic to happen. Or even pretend you have something already and go through the motions of creating it until it become real

[@pourdamghani]

Thank you @netflix for sharing such a wonderful documentary for free. It was very well-thought and well-produced, and totally captured the whole essence of the abstraction and art of design.

[@cloudforest4087]

Great advise for all artists! Practice! Get in there and do.

[@DUAREcanal]

Cada vez que me encuentro en una difícil parte del proceso creativo regreso a este video y mientras lo escucho supero cualquier bloqueo, es casi como una medicina.

[@gangstagrandma]

The whole New York description was me in 1979. Half an hour doesn't scare me. Spending day, weeks on a piece feels like a waste of time. Wicked how we work!

[@HarryHodgman]

How cool to hear Andy Shauf at 19:08, never heard his music in other media before.

[@rubiaalaaccion]

Uffffff pedazo de capitulo! Mil gracias! 💙🚀

[@thomash4810]

At 27:04 when he says, "but everything else would be crashing down." The lamp head tips over. Almost as if the lamp is giving a nod, agreeing with what he has to say.

[@linhtayo2309]

What a briliant art with amazing illustration pictures and scene of this video!

[@19gisel79]

Gracias Netflix por ofrecer documentales tan buenos!!😍😍😍🤞🇧🇴

[@bryanestrada5867]

como lo puedo ver en español?

[@keikalart]

Omg, this reminds me my childhood when I was constantly seeing images out of real world! He is such a great artist! Thanks for putting up this!

[@Makar-y7l]

It is not about design, but art, creativity, life

[@bl3ndor370]

perfect, down to the every minute details

[@kalalilingagoud6687]

Best documentaries I have ever seen. It has introduced me to the language of design that speaks to us. The anxiety of magic moments and the importance of showing up every day.

[@kymdouglas3012]

Thank you for adding this to KZbin! I can actually access these and show them to my Design Graphics kids!

[@SuperMaa3]

Does anyone know the german music 24:43 when they decide to move to Berlin ? Love it. ❤ Thanks for your help 🙌🏼

[@fparraolmedo]

I need it too. Do you know something about this?.

[@neurojitsu]

Brilliant documentary in its insight into the mind and 'real' work of illustration and design. Beautifully conceived and executed.

[@claudioviajando6184]

Que buena iniciativa Netflix, aun cuando yo tengo la subs, esto que hacen, ayuda a democratizar la cultura.

[@Mackesomething]

Is there any music credits I can find somewhere? Would love to find the German Intro song and a few other tracks used in this.

[@hotissue6634]

Just leaved a comment to get notified

[@11Virgo11]

This is my favourite. So far.

[@lilscottie2184]

Lowkey watching this for my illustrations art class☺️

[@melstampz]

Phenomenal content. Thank You!

[@weremiuk]

Half a million viewers of such amazing content?? N, this series is soooo amazing. Keep doing them, that's an art education on a new level.

[@MadhuSudhan-te7li]

Its awesome, every designer must watch this.

[@elle-up8si]

20:06 the way he described his third kid LOLL. sounds just like my brothers and i

[@khwaishjain1341]

I cracked up at that lmao

[@OppacaTube]

That Pixar lamp has got an attitude.

[@TheDodo222]

Ich wollte nur mal kurz reinschauen...war aber bis zur letzten Sekunde fasziniert! Vielen Dank! You made my day👏🏼

[@clover-v3z]

Thank you Netflix

[@judithmalan1502]

So absolutely DYNAMIC! THANK YOU!

[@adrianamatos6714]

This is gold. Good content. He is an amazing artist. Thank you.

[@avcvstg]

26:00 What is the title of this beautiful song?

[@WindSwirl]

No idea but the lyrics go something along the lines of "das was ich will bist du" and "du bist mein". Maybe that will help searching for it.

[@bratwurstmitbiryani]

I don't understand why do I fail to appreciate art like other people here. Why doesn't it mesmerize me?

[@andreaantonia8366]

Try to interpret and see it from the storytelling instead focusing on the art only. For me his way of storytelling is the charm point and his art style is the second reason why its mesmerising. But yeah everyone have different opinion about art its completely fine if you dont find it mesmerising, he himself said it some people will like it some won't, so its fine :)

[@riccardocolonna3322]

24:37 I dont know what that song is but it is really cool. Does anyone know the name?

[@yumthangnabi]

I feel grateful. Thank you so much 🌿

[@jabp301]

this is the only thing a teacher has recommended, that is good PS: sorry for my english

[@curvesashades]

Thankyou So much for this !!!! So inspiring!!!!!!!

[@iamrodolfooc]

It´s so good, thx very much 4 the history.

[@TENZING_]

[@leonjoy3750]

Stop waffling

[@ailtontenoriodasilva7613]

MUITO OBRIGADO Netflix, por permitir o acesso a essa excelente série. Sempre comento com meus alunos do curso técnico sobre esse episódio, mas não é todos que tem acesso à sua plataforma. É uma grande oportunidade deles aprenderem com os ensinamentos desses mestres retratados nesse série. Vou fazer uma aula com meus alunos só para assistirem esse episódio!

[@ricardowelbert1]

Olá, Ailton! Concordo totalmente contigo! Também sou um grande fã desta série e achei incrível que ao menos a primeira temporada esteja disponível aqui. Isso é a essência da valorização da arte e do esforço para torná-la acessível. Parabéns pela iniciativa de levar este conteúdo aos alunos!

[@cliffardsmith1313]

this is a very inspirer documentary because there is a lot of diffferent illustrators in the world who passes through the same path and tha path is represented with diffferent colors and textures

[@capritong628]

Soooo inspiring and creative!!Love it!!!

[@Anonymous-kp9rq]

Amazing artist, amazing work. Thanks for creating this series. Can watch it a hundred times & not get bored.

[@aricatrall]

Having to watch this in school takes all of the fun out of it, but this is kinda coolio

[@rishoir768]

As an aspiring artist, this was so fun and insightful.

[@nomadmcsheen9065]

Thank you for sharing Netflix !!!

[@overnights2572]

Amazing and deep... many many thanks

[@NTL00]

I enjoy watching this content and like all of his ideas ❤

[@sonnycorbi4316]

[@irenakovacevic2506]

Great film! Great artist! Does anybody know what is that german song from 60/70s "wer bist du, du bist mein" at 24:37? :?

[@scribbleem]

I'm learning SO much! Thank you Christoph Neimann for being so wonderful!! XD

[@designtarifi]

Speechless!congratulations for your [masterpiece]

[@AtulKumar-yi2wu]

[@basmajaheen9435]

"The only way to grow is to loosen up." Thanks ❤

[@hatersbeware5563]

1:23 @Netflix please, what is the name of this song, and also what other songs are in the soundtrack to this episode? thank you, much love!

[@RodriBustillo]

i need to know

[@RaMM613]

Tuve la oportunidad de ver este capitulo cuando se estreno en la plataforma y me encanta que iniciaran con el, me identifique con su forma de ver la vida el Diseño es increible como tenemos un perfil los diseñadores y de como interpretamos nuestro entorno y realidad Me encanta GRaCiaS NtFLiX x subirlo aqui es super genial lo compartiré mucho

[@MrBiswas123]

This series is a masterpiece !

[@yakurday9094]

Someone knows the name of the song and musical artist at 12:41? Please, I love this song

[@brancoruivo7307]

Does anyone know the German song name at minute 24:55?? :D

[@banyagodot]

Anyone knows the title of this song? 24:36

[@martingrigorov3349]

Dude i have been searching for ages. Even written the guy who produced the series and no clue.

[@pool7216]

I am in the same situation. Please, if somebody knows...

[@shubhamrana8018]

I don't know the song though you can actually search it through Shazam application. What it does is it identifies the beats of the song and shows you the actual song.

[@KosPerera]

@@shubhamrana8018 Shazam has no clue about this soundtrack. I tried many times. Even took a few screenshots when the song plays and googled images and had no luck. There is a readit thread as well and no luck there. I doubt the videos of those two ladies dancing is from the original soundtrack and the signs ain't German.

[@mifunevids]

Hi everyone. I created this song for the series. What you hear is the whole song. Hope this helps the mystery.

[@olabiyidaniel2688]

This really helped my creative thinking ❤

[@shivajikasote7699]

Lovely episode. so inspiring.

[@tweentycenturyrock]

Wow 😍 thank you Netflix for the episode

[@CKamera23]

Very inspiring...thank you!

[@iliassakalak]

This is great. Love the production done here as well.

Unreal. Thanks from Visual Republic

Can anyone tell the name of the German song which comes at 24:35?

[@krazyjazper1574]

[@kutaycan7]

i am also searching it and it seems nearly impossible to find

[@carmenn1911]

Dammit, man, i keep singing it in my head since a week ago. Looked everywhere. To whom could I write to Netflix and ask? :))

[@mifunevids]

Hi there. The song was created for the series and never existed outside of the show. Hope this clears up the mystery.
