Did you see the recent news about the "lost for over a century" Klimt work entitled "Portrait of Fräuline Lieser"?

I really appreciate that creators like James are democratising art history and our learning about it - thank you for making this beautiful art more accessible to us all 😃

Ironic that Klimt's use of nudity is still controversial and censored today

To please many is dangerous! Our art is now being censored by an algorithm designed to sell ads to the masses. Their objections to the original cut of this video are ridiculous, and the irony with this video in particular is devastating.

Censorship of great art and your informative videos is idiotic. Never change, your video style and structure aids in widening my perspective and interpretations of all art and artists!!

I live in PA and have been to Vienna 15 times to visit works by Klimt, plus his grave, his last studio, and a castle in Romania where he painted huge realistic full-length portraits going down a grand staircase early in his career. His muse was Emilie Fluge, a couture fashion designer, and I always visit her atelier, and sometimes attersee, the lake in central Austria where Klimt spent summers with Emilie, relaxing, boating, ang painting trees and water. I enjoyed your video and downloaded it. You’ve given me a new angle to study.

@@GreatArtExplained I was also about to ask this, as if guessing the answer in my mind... What sinister times we are going through! How is it possible to censor an excellent Art History class like this, the best approach to Klimt I've ever seen, when they allow swarms of disinformation channels to proliferate and promote alienating content from mediocre influencers?

One of the best Klimt analysis I have ever seen, specially for the dynamism of presentation, and this are hard topics. It’s important to support such high quality channels when they are attacked by censorship. Already looking forward to the next video!

How fascinating it is that the provocative nature of Klimt's work was apparent then, and still persists today in the very videos that discuss it.

I have had the pleasure of admiring Gustav Klimt's paintings up close on several trips to the wonderful city of Vienna and consider myself a big fan of his work...Thank you for this excellent summing up of who he was artistically, regardless of how he has been perceived by various groups or individuals throughout his own life and thereafter...

Vienna is indeed very heavily centered around Mozart, Klimt, and Schiele, as well as the famous Staatsoper. It's refreshing. The buskers sing opera and play classical music. The opera is the main social activity. Art is also at the heart of the city, especially Klimt.

It is impressive to see a modern city so truly grounded in classical music and art.

Beauty..is above the political manipulation or propaganda. I am so happy that Klimt genius was saved and cherished by serendipity. Your work, too, should be above the scrutiny of censorship because it is beautiful and valuable to humanity. Thank you as always.

I sincerely hope KZread sees how thoughtful, inspiring, AND edifying this channel is instead of obsessing and overreacting to minutia. These videos are a public service IMHO, and are well worth multiple viewings! Just like the arts they celebrate!

These videos make my day 101% better! I feel like I'm adding another dimension to my knowledge of the world, as if I'm seeing it form an different perspective: an artist's one. I'm very grateful for knowing your channel. Thanks so much for this!

I was not familiar with Gustav Klimt until I saw some of his paintings in exhibition, and then he became one of my favorite artists. Thank you for this video. As a side note, it's always heart-breaking to hear/see what the Nazis did with countless works they stole. The scene of the soldiers setting fire to all the canvasses is just disturbing.

Glad I could rewatch this one, censored as it is, as its one of my favorites of yours. The nazi's degenerate art show is one of my favorite stories from art history since it has so much relevance to today. I want to say that THIS video out of all of them would get censored is ironic, but i think we both just know its more a case of history repeating, or getting close to it.

An attack on culture by KZread. I'm here for the rewatch. Thanks for everything, amazing channel. Keep going💪🏻

Admittedly, I've never been very interested in art however, watching these videos has given rise to a curiosity in me to learn more and to seek out museums and galleries when I can. Thank you for the work you do.

Thank you for this. Klimt really could draw the human body, i find his works absolutely beautiful.

Realizing I would never have been able to see these lovely pieces. Thank you.

Fascinating! Thank you sooo much

Gorgeous colors in Klimt's works, such beautifully flowing lines! It's tragic that so many pieces were lost in Vienna and much of Europe during WWII, such a treasure trove of pieces we'll never get back. Thank you for the video, James, beautifully eloquent as always, and pointgnant in a world where we see missinformation and appropriation as a means to garnering support for violent ignorance and totalitarian tendencies.

These videos are works of art. In the US, we do not do enough art education outside of university. There is an underappreciation for art in our culture and education like this is sorely needed, especially when it is contextualized with retrograde gov'ts and history.

Rewatched and reliked, thanks for your work ❤

Bravo James and Joanne! I first saw Klint back in the 1980s at the MOMA in NYC. Despite being completely ignorant in Art terms I was immediately caught by the Sessecion Movement.
