The Outsider: Brian Sewell

[@Eudaimonia88]

Wonderful talk - ghastly photo sequence.

[@bobbieboe]

Sadly missed. Brought a lot of humour and laughter into my life. RIP Brian.

[@PlanetaryCitizen]

Brian was a national treasure! I'm just reading The Outsider books.

[@hindsighter]

Brian died on my birthday. That voice will be sadly missed.

[@DavidWoodArtist]

Brilliant, honest and correct...I love it!

[@juanlauda2300]

More Sewell please. Much more.

[@alankovacik1928]

just discovered Mr Sewell, he's a genius!

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

As a Jackson Pollock fan I was amused when he described 'blue poles' as... a nice linoleum.

[@BackToTheBlues]

Sorry to correct your grammar, but I think you mean 'than like what the queen does'. ;) I've seen Brian three times now; once talking about his life, career, dogs, cars and heart attacks, last year speaking about the importance of teaching the history of art, and this year with Sir Roy Strong in Winchester, speaking about all kinds of things. He's a fascinating speaker, forthright, interesting and relentlessy honest. The Outsider Vol 2 is out now, and a book about his dogs is on the way.

Thanks for this, very interesting but a shame it was cut short.

[@LikeItDeep]

Brian speaks posher than what the Queen does.

[@Adrian-hq5jk]

My hero. Can anyone supply us with the letter to The Evening Standard demanding his resignation as art critic? Can't find it anywhere!

[@revol148]

he's at the Cheltenham liteary festival this weekend....

[@gunsmpales]

Thank you so much

[@Iamsegesest]

A mentor us all.

[@DoubtingTom]

Still great

[@hindsighter]

I want an appointment with that Dr Lemon Tarney 5:23

[@LikeItDeep]

I also forgot to put an apostrophe in "does".

Here's a picture of an white pelted Pine Marten. They are not all dark brown with big fox-like ears. www.coniferousforest.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/White-Pine-Marten.jpg

Sadly missed.

[@SirPrancelot1]

Have just found part 2.

[@gunsmpales]

:-)

[@muzwot9603]

Interesting to me how Sewell always considered himself an outsider, I'd have thought his aristocracy would've not given the man any real sense of this.

[@kc3718]

he's not from the aristocracy

[@chel3SEY]

Self-indulgent ramble. Quite dull. A pity Sewell owed his success to his camp entertainment value rather than any brilliance as an art historian or connoisseur.

[@dis8011]

For someone who hates him so much, you seem to spend a lot of your free time watching and commenting on videos that feature him. Every Brian video I've watched on KZbin has your comments underneath - sometimes multiple times. Obsessed! He's dead and loved by many, get over it. Did he critique your art once and burst your postmodern bubble? If so, you clearly never recovered.

Next time you must get a close up of the cute black girl. Our future depends on it.
