Great job again Pete. Dulac is so hard to capture because of his adaptive and changing styles through temperament, shapes, gesture and palate. His ability to pull it off makes for a weak “brand” if you will, but gains him hero status in the field. Always a surprise and yet another jewel to be found his. My teachers at California College of the Arts(and Crafts) would share him like a treasured secret. In classes for illustration, watercolor, figure drawing, color, and graphic design his name and work would pop up as would the oooos and awwws . His work spanning; intaglio, letterpress, and litho.

The cultivation of the imagination is a blessing. Today, people are slapped with labels that may deter the mind from wandering, thus promoting a trend towards uniformity of thought. People become comfortable, and noninquisitive, when things are predictable. Fostering an approach that looks to the (inner, and outer) horizons, could be a great asset. I like being on the edge of my seat, or finding an escape from the mundane, sometimes. It makes me feel like I am ready for anything, and at the same time flowing into everything.

I have to say, your homages to the great artisits of the past are quite engaging, thought provoking and works of art in their own right.. Thanks so much!

It's a matter of having the education/background, and not insisting that your first, or 8th job is going to make you the artist you see yourself as in your own dreams. Plus a lot of, lot of, lot of practice and a bit of luck. Realizing, too, that jobs kind of close to what you want to do but still bring in a paycheck are better than giving up the dream, or stubbornly hitting your head against a wall (not finding "the job" the first time) that just isn't going to budge, this time. Better to bend a bit, but consistently bending towards the dream. If more you g people could (calmy) express this to their parents, along with the opportunities they would be willing to take before the dream job comes, or the money to have one's own studio and gallery, parents might be more comfortable with "I'm going to be an artist!"

Hello and thanks a lot for your enthusiastic respones to the video. There is undoubtedly a quality to his work that encourages the viewer to immerse themselves into his world.

I remember seeing very beautiful art pieces as a young child. Only now do I realize that it is this artist. The many illustrations I have seen was in an antique shop once when I was young. I loved picture books then before I started to only read chapter books and novels at the age of six, and remember stumbling upon one of the books that had his art in it. It was Sleeping Beauty, and the pages were very old and faded. I asked the lady who owned it where it came from, and she told me that it was passed down in a family for generations. How it got in her shop was due to the death in the family, and the members did not want many of the things that they found to be junk. She then showed me some beautiful faerie figurines and prints in a small corner of her shop. I wanted to jump into the illustrations and go to far off places. When my relatives came to look for me, I didn't budge from where I was standing. They had to drag me out of there. I remember being mad that I couldn't play with the faeries. My mom told me that I had my own Tinkerbell toys and fairy costumes at home waiting for me. I said "But they are not as pretty as these! These are art!", lol. My grandmother then bought me a bunch of art books. As I got older, she gave me a human biology textbook printed in the nineties, so the information was outdated, but I still loved to read and interpret the articles until I had my own way of understanding it. I used it to make art. I believed that you needed life to make art, so I studied everything. I would catch bugs and butterflies as well to use as models, then set them free. I wanted to know and understand how many of the well respected artists made art and music, so I would study and research as much as I could. I would go to the library at school whenever I got the chance. I never bothered with the picture books, but the ones about science. Many of the kids made fun of me for how odd I was. But thd art teacher loved me. She always wanted to display my art. When we did self portraits, (mind you this was third grade), I amazed the adults with my accuracy. Due to my age, they expected the typical drawing a third grader would do. But I had confronted my identity and went on a journey of how others saw me, and how I saw myself. I combined the two and just drew. I didn't know what it was until it was finished since I was so concentrated. I was very quiet and shy when it came to my art and reading books, as well as studying science books. When she wanted to have it displayed in the library, I was of course very embarrassed. But she said I was very good at it and had a strong sense of self image. I don't really draw myself much anymore, but do draw many other things. I love doing watercolors and mixed mediums to get unique textures and interesting colors. I still view that if art has no true sense or core of life deeply within it, and it is just flat and mundane(corporate art for example, Google, Facebook, etc.), it is not truly art. It needs to have a heart in order to convey it's emotions and theme if it has any. Art tells a story which is unique to every individual who comes across it. Art also doesn't just exist in paintings, sketches, or statues. It is us as well. We are living, walking pieces of art. We were the beginning of what art is now today. We created it. Whether it be by accident or purposefully, we created regardless. So look around you. Art is everywhere. It is in everything.

Hello and thanks for your appreciation. Glad you enjoyed it.

So I have been doing a ton of research on these older fantasy artists as I am working with a team on a huge fantasy trilogy project and we want to bring the older fantasy art styles back into popularity. I have always loved the creepy gritty beautiful style of older fantasy art styles.

Thanks a lot for your comment, and the best of luck with your project.

I have had that very illustration (4:39) saved on my phone for a few years now. I loved it when I first saw it, but it was not credited and I couldn't find out where it came from. I never expect that little bonus in addition to a great video, so thank you!!

ah pete I think im not only loving the artists you show but also your documentary style. Its honestly perfect! :D Its so cool to see how Dulac´s style changed through the years. I feel like there is at least a style for anyone to love in his work.

Hello and thanks. But just to nitpick (and I really don't mind) I'm from Manchester - the other side of the pennines. I did live in Leeds for quite a few years though so maybe I picked up a bit of Yorkshire there. Either way I'm glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you'll watch others on the channel.

Hello and I'm glad that our orbits have collided. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you find more on the channel to keep you watching.

I have a first edition 1908 The Tempest with 30 to 40 separate color pictures, each one covered and protected by sheets of tissue paper. It is exquisite. As a child I was fascinated by the pictures and my mother left it to me on her death. The colors are vivid and beautiful and it is one of my most treasured possessions. People have suggested that i should take the plates out and have them mounted into picture frames. What sacrilege.

Hello and that's a book I would love to see. I've only seen later reprints. It would be an act of barbarism to destroy the book - but you could scan the illustrations and have them digitally printed so you could have them on your walls and still have the book. Just a thought.

Also i have to say that i enjoyed your production and video so much that the excitement made me forget to thank you for your work and effort. You have greatly educated me yesterday.

The was a beautiful documentary. Thank you. I enjoyed the honest appreciation for the work and lack of cynical criticism.

Hello to you and sadly my own experiences teaching illustration confirm that most of those teaching the subject at university know very little and don't much care for the subject. You're better off - financially and educationally - teaching yourself.

What a splendid artist, very interestingly featured in a highly interesting presentation style. The narrator's voice is particularly soft, almost gentle, which is another attractive feature of this and many other videos available on his channel. I'll watch your other work with utmost pleasure, sir!
