I loved this work of the curator Anne Umland, which gives us an odd opportunity to appreciate through the net, a great plastic artist and his work. I did not know this artist and I was amazed by his magnificent work. Thank you very much.....

Thanks very much, Carlos! Be sure to check back in September for some new videos with Anne when her show "Max Ernst: Beyond Painting" opens!

This curator breathes absolute life into everything she explains. She is a brilliant fire.

I really love how Anne Umland (the curator/narrator here) talks and expresses herself! She has such a wonderful manner, explains things well and her enthusiasm is catching = she's BRILLIANT! Oh how I wish she would talk about my art work, dream on... I'd like to see her doing far more to enlighten us all about art, plus curating shows must be so very difficult - she's a STAR! Thank you MOMA from Jenny in France.

I think I enjoy the way Anne Umland talks about the art, more than the art itself. Thanks MOMA.

Her passion is undeniable. Truly an inspiring curator.

I could listen to her talk about art all day! 😍

She’s outstanding.

Saw this exhibit all those years ago and still think about it to this day

Anne Umland= vocabulary goals ♡_♡

I enjoyed watching the curators passion and knowledge of the art

This is so brilliant, never heard of Francis Picabia. He truly was a visionary

Put please more videos with this incredible woman. Great job! Thanks.

I could watch something like this all day. Keep it up MoMA!

The Museum of Modern Art BE STILL MY BEATING HEART

Dear Ms Umland, You have brought artistic evaluation to a new level. You have shone a light to brighten the ever-expanding awareness of so many talented individual artists who slip through the fingers of the art world and only get recognition thanks to someone as generous and imaginative and inciteful as you.

I find it interesting that almost all the comments here refer to Anne Umland's fine presentation, but virtually no mention of the art itself... Art can be studied and enjoyed, but fine art never has to be explained. My father once said: "Any food you have to develop a taste for, isn't worth eating...".

She’s such a lovely person.... her enthusiasm really should shines:)

She is outstanding in " art speak" just grand

Anne is adorable 🤩 and so much fun to be with. She's as excited and animated as a young girl chattering joyfully about her life; a world of beautiful art and artists.

Wonderful video - what an amazing, articulate introduction and insight to Picabia and abstraction! Thank you

great video,very interesting and insightful,Anne Lumand looks so happy talking about Picabia's work,it's infectious and draws the viewer in to want to know more.

I could listen to Anne Umland talk about art all day. She is so enthusiastic and natural and makes everything interesting :-)

Very nice introduction which makes me want to come see the exhibit. I may have to tune in for Anne Umland's live conversation because I'd like to know more about how she chose which pieces to put together, especially with Picabia whose styles are so diverse.

What a way to go Anne !!!. I enjoy listening to you like many others. Thx f.posting und merry 2020 christmas to all of you , there.

She's great, going to seek out more of her videos.

very lively presentation!

I’ve seen another video where Anne Umland guides us through the work of Max Ernst. I have to say she must be the world's greatest curator, she passes on her knowledge in a way that gathers you up in her passion and enthusiasm. Rather than be stand offish, like many in her position, she talks to the viewer in a very real way as an equal. I have never heard of Francis Picabia, but I will look out for more of his work with much better understanding. May I ask if anyone knows if he was affected by poor mental health in any way? I’m asking because of the clown. I have a friend affected by schizophrenia and when he is unwell he paints very dark impressionistic pictures through the night. When he is well he paints bright abstract images in the daytime. His art is actually the biggest indicator of how well he is, and I’m wondering if it was the same for Picabia? An absolutely fantastic video, thank you for posting it, and thank you Ms Umland.

I like to listen to this lady, I feel like I'm getting smart or something

Super video ) Thank you

Very beautiful work

THANK YOU MS. UMLAND FOR SHARING. I AM ALSO ARTIST, FIGURATIVE AND ABSTRACT PAINTER ANDI LOVE PICABIA. GREAT ARTIST, WICH PRODEUSED GREAT ARTWORKS.

What a presentation! From the art itself have i no opportunity to see. Maybe next time.

Wooow 😮; amazing video 👏👏

Thank you so very much!

The real magic is his integrity and maintaining his conviction a visual language which is composed by experience ,how do you measure beauty what makes it contempoary ,how does it fall into a category. ..

She is my dream History of Art teacher!

I love this woman

I'm a tiny bit in love with Anne. Lol.

Interesante 🌻

Very good

Shout out to Chicago!

I love this lady!

Thank you!!

great video

SUPER:*

2:35 - what is the painting on the right hand side of the screen? Any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

Anne Umland commands all facets of the exhibition from Picabia's biographical elements, to his contributions to art in the contextual avant gard scene to meta elements of how difficult it was to put the two centerpieces together and the trascendental fact that this might only happen once in a lifetime to the crucial consideration of what constitutes beauty... "blah, blah, blah", I'm a fan of her work and will watch anything she chooses to present.

As usual, I thoroughly enjoy Umland's commentaries...hmmm... I think she meant "iconic" group portrait... although, I suppose "iconoclastic" could apply to this particular group. :)

Really enjoyed seeing those two rare Picabias. Quite top notch, to say the least.

the scribbled on canvas was the "cast" for his eye... he had his friends sign his "cast"

i watched the Picabia, Ernst and Duchamp short presentation movies, they all are great, but i wonder why in these three cases the word Surrealism is not said one time... the heart of their art is surrealism, and the community of thinking they had with the frend ch group around Breton is central.

From Brideshead Revisited: "[The art-school students] never go near the Louvre,’ I said, ‘or, if they do, it’s only because one of their absurd reviews has suddenly “discovered” a master who fits in with that month’s aesthetic theory. Half of them are out to make a popular splash like Picabia; the other half quite simply want to earn their living doing advertisements for Vogue and decorating night clubs. And the teachers still go on trying to make them paint like Delacroix.’ ‘Charles,’ said Cordelia, ‘Modern Art is all bosh, isn’t it?’ ‘Great bosh.’ ‘Oh, I’m so glad. I had an argument with one of our nuns and she said we shouldn’t try and criticize what we didn’t understand. Now I shall tell her I have had it straight from a real artist, and snubs to her.’" (o;

This lady opened my eyes her words are can't explain but equiste for you somehow an olive tree crossed my mind inspiration the graffiti picture with the eye in it I'm a prolific writer I'm sure you get my gist can I say course i can you would be an icon in the art world yea imagine anything is possible. 👌🌌🌉 On my celebratory day artisan Kerri anderson ,***ooo***

Hay que mostrar las pinturas y la obra ... La voz en offf

I admire Pacabia quite a bit. I think he is more versatile than Picasso could ever be.

she skipped all the cool ones! haha. what a great artist and presentation. props to Anne Umland

Picabia was a fascinating artist-- of his time but also ahead of his time.

Now if we can be like this and use this language to make that one friend watch your fave tv show. 😂

I am coming lately. I was lucky enough because of this Pandemic. Everything is on the Internet that Van Gogh didn’t have.

U haven't had a LOUHAWK masterpiece in your collection? Why not ?

Who is she? The narrator.

Looks as if Picabia encountered Kandinsky . . .

never heard the words "blablabla" uttered in an art talk, and why did she call it a "funny carpet"? She is passionate though 🙂

She reminds me of Marianne in Normal People if she was grown up

such a cute lil lady!

Most ripped curator.....

But artistic talent , he didnt get rich ?

the camera guy need to respect a social distance from the artworks or what?

I am not convinced of his qualities

3:49 Wow, so basically it's a glorified yearbook page. :/

Duchamp?😂

If you have to tell us how to see a painting, then there is something wrong. Every person can view a work freely. Yes, it takes some knowledge about some art movements, etc, but the experience based on each individual is different. Art is not mathematics. It should be felt not understood, at least not the way these so called art critics tell us. Yes, some have put symbols in their works. Dali, for example! Please let each individual experience it on his or her own. Then, if they have any question, they can ask someone like you. "Expromanticism founder."

Looks like cubism to me

Easy to talk .

You can Pic-abia or you can Pic-asso…. but I'd rather pick JUAN GRIS.... king of them all!!!

Picabia was brilliant and funny. But I can't deal with the clowns--he did a bunch of them. Yikes!
