    No one is as original and imaginative as Waldemar when it comes to dry art history. He holds you captive and never lets you go on his fascinating look at the history of art.

    I wish university art history courses were this interesting. I took art history in high school and it was so colorless and bland, it focused more on architecture which is all good but it's just one pillar holding up the subject. My friend took art history in college, and she said it was all pretentious fluffy talk on the part of the professors who handed out tests meant to inflate their egos more than teach history. This stuff is fascinating? I feel like art history and culture studies should be an mandatory class... at least it would be more useful than PE.

    Met nadruk op dry,ja wat leert men op school goed luisteren en kijken, maar waren zij dan de ware leraren of kom men het ook op andere manieren het leren hoe men de wereld moet bekijken ,ja mijn levenslessen leerde ik zeker op een andere manier te betrachten en vaak leerde ik dat mijn vertrouwen in mensen eigelijk te groot was en dat was zeker teleurstellend zelfs gisteren nog moest ik het besluit nemen om fiks wat stappen terug te nemen het was zeker al een hele tijd dat ik dacht dat vriendschap veel kan hebben maar nee dat was blijkbaar van een kant die er zo erover dacht en dat was ik ,ondanks ik het al heel lang wist maar men moet eerst ook zichzelf ervan overtuigen dus vaak mijn voelsprieten moeten gebruiken en mijn gevoel bleef steeds haken op een punt van onraad ,met verdriet moest ik de knoop doorhakken en dat was gisteren zo zie je maar weer Waldemar men blijft op school heel je leven leer je levenslessen maar niettemin vind ik historie het verbeeldend vermogen een terugweg of met terugwerkende krachten uit het verleden beeldhouwkunst of schilders echt interessant zeker die het presenteerde ,ook al vind hij mij een van de slechtste leerlingen van zijn klas blijft dat beeldend figuur mij fascineren maar nu met al dat gekronkel zelfs gedacht als domme puber ( wel belegen😅) de Margriet bloemblaadjes eruit te trekken en zeggen ja / nee ja/nee maar durfde het niet bang voor het eindresultaat dus laat ik de Margriet haar blaadjes voorlopig nog houden ,ook zonder deze bloem marteling denk ik de uitkomst wel te kennen ,ben zelf het lijdend voorwerp 😔

    Besides the fact, that our host, Waldemar Januszczak is a brilliant lecturer, it is his vocabulary and inflection which lend so much verve, humor and vigor to the experience of bathing in the history of Western Art. His down to earth approach wraps its tentacles lovingly around you and you have no choice but to join in with him, and jump up and down like a child in a toy / candy store. This is how one teaches. Thank you. Oh yes, and don't forget: "...and try to forget she's wearing 2000 dead squirrels"! He may as well have said, "...try not to think of pink elephants"! Priceless! An especially warm thanks to Waldemar, for ending this episode with one of my heroes, Albercht Durer.

    It's funny, I didn't know that a lot of art history glossed over the Flemish painters. Back when I was in college, my art history teacher, here in the States, spent an entire section on them, (referring to them as early renaissance,) and Jan van Eyck in particular. Eyck has been one of my favorites ever since. That was one of the best electives I ever took.

    In Will Durant's book THE REFORMATION he mentioned all these painters and I had to google all of them up and their work while reading so I could understand the book a bit better. I didn't really care for the art of 15c and always went to the impressionist section at the MET. Now after reading that book I realized that I was ignorant and now would have to spend more time in 15 and 16 century section at the MET, and this film definitely confirms it.

    I know it makes for an entertaining narrative in this documentary, but I would like to note that the term 'primitive' to designate the Flemish Primitives does not refer to a perceived lack of sophistication, but rather identifies the artists as originators of a new tradition in painting ('primitives' as in 'first').

    Yes .. and when folks are willfully misusingwords e.g. 'sick' meaning 'good' and so on .. I am surprised we understand anything these days ..Ohh we don't (joke) .. There used to be 'reserved words' and 'symbols' that's all gone to the wall too .. in favour of errr ill-education, anyone's opinion is sort of 'gospel' .. and the very strange idea that all these sytmes and checks and double--checks just get in the way of err thieving, corruption, greed and so on... goooddd jaawwwwwbbb

    -Genus Tinca: It is *quite doubtful* that the narrator _actually_ means or thinks the Flemish artists of the period are *_'primitive'_* as it was (possibly) implied in the narrative. Rather he uses the term as a _"tongue-in-cheek"_ joke of sorts to indicate that Italians were "offbase" in their thinking by nearly two centuries--- as was pointed out in the description of the stone horse and rider carved on/in the wall of the Bavarian chapel, in opposition to the horse and rider bronze _monster_ to be found in Padua, Italy.

    @@nknatewood8226 he meant that the world of art and Italian artists of the time thought of them as "primitive" as in derogatory while it never was the case. As for the "monstrosity" as you say, I guess that's purely subjective on your part. The host comes by as biased and controversial with an axe to grind in regards to the consideration of Italy as being the birthplace of Renaissance or the most influential. I'm not the only one who had that impression. Still enjoyed the show nonetheless.

    @@Fox-86 : The term _monster_ applied to the Padua bronze of horse and rider is the term used by the narrator, not mine. Agreed that he, the *narrator* , has a decided _axe to grind_ concerning the subject of just _where_ (and _when_ ) the Renaissance began, as is proved by his discussion of St. George slaying the dragon as depicted in Flemish artistic formats, both painting(s) and wooden sculpture. Like you, found the show quite enjoyable, as were virtually all the *'Perspective'* Art History shows.

I like the way he explains the political agenda and general cultural atmosphere of the time during which the artist was creating his artwork. Waldemar does a good job explaining the art and interpreting the meaning of it. Each video is an art and history lesson all rolled into one. I like him just the way he is.

    A fascinating documentary, and I am so pleased that the utterly brilliant Flemish artists, and certainly Van Eyck are given ( to me ) their true and overdue consideration and praise. When I was young, the only art that counted was The Impressionists or Modern Art - realism in any form was discarded or ignored, but as an illustrator, these more recent art movements pail to insignificance. A beautifully explained and filmed episode - very well done indeed :)
