I thoroughly enjoy the insights shared on these daily takeouts! I love getting a closeup look at the paintings! I tune in everyday. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! Every time I am on the east coast, I make sure to visit the Barnes! It is a magical place!

It was so nice to meet Beatrice in this unusual modigliani ...thank you, Nancy!

Nancy is the best! Her disposition is perfect for this type of medium. Hope you keep doing these!

Adam Martin I so agree. She's fantastic & I hope she continues.

I could listen to Nancy all day long...she transforms a picture I would normally walk right past into a moment of insight and appreciation. My only wish is that Nancy would present more often. Well done....and to think this insight is all right here on a daily basis. Thank you all for providing this.

I like his style very much, it are such meaningful paintings!

These lectures brighten my days. I get up early and go to the Barnes for a talk on a particular work of art. Thank you so much.

I have always admired Modigliani’s use of flesh tones, and at the same time how he eliminates a women’s most powerful asset, the eyes. He wants you to see the real women past them. Maybe he likes the way he could make her blush in her cheeks to her ears. Maybe her multiple personas are represented by the different colors, one white and one dark, that he sees, past her eyes, into her soul. Loved the history of Beatrice and your selection / description of this painting. Thank You

Thank You

Nancy Ireson you are a delight to learn from!!

I'm not an art history buff, but I enjoy art museums and I enjoyed the Barnes when I visited it years ago. Thank you for these talks.

M and his aunt Laura, a scholar and philosopher, wrote essays together... he was amazingly cultured, articulate, and thoughtful

Thank you!

How about more information? Interesting character? He experimented with drugs and alcohol? He was a drunk and a pot head, drinking absinthe and smoking hashish. He had a problem with women, probably starting with his mother who coddled and supported him. She was him most painted muse, wasn't she. How about a picture of her? I need your expert opinion, which is why I tune in, something more than what I would get from Wiki. Why for example did Dr Barnes buy this?
