Women Artists and Postwar Abstraction | HOW TO SEE the art movement with Corey D'Augustine

Female artists of the postwar era have been largely underrepresented in modern art history. Conservator and IN THE STUDIO instructor Corey D'Augustine explores works of artists like Helen Frankenthaler, Louise Nevelson, and Yayoi Kusama, among others, and argues that their styles were so diverse and individualistic that just about the only thing they had in common was their gender.

    I love this series. Thank you so much. Just a comment on Kusama. F is a number in hexadecimal, F number is also a term used in photography. The F number diagrams are representations of decreasing aperture and hence smaller circles. Perhaps she borrowed the concept from photography.

    I really liked hearing the comment about gender very early on in the video. I wonder about the importance we give to being a male or female artist. I have always considered myself just an artist, attaching no gender to it. The degree of importance of gender for me is undetermined. What I believe is that the work is the thing. It should stand on its own, as do the works of these artists. Tis exhibit is great...if you are in the NYC area, it really is a must-see.

    Thank you very much for this video, I do believe that female artists were insufficiently presented at that time. for me personally, Frankenthaler's artwork stands the most, as I consider her a role-model. I think the most important thing for an artist, before and now, is to be experimental, just like she did. the Trojan Gates painting and a lot of her later prints illustrate this almost foggy yet tough colored spaces. YES, she was an abstract expressionist, authentic who brilliantly worked with the compositional aspects that capture the viewer's eye immediately. May she rest in peace and her art continue after her for generations to come.

    I believe the Hedda Sterne painting is upside down. If you flip it 180 degrees then it looks like the truss of a bridge, particularly, the Hell's Gate Bridge in NYC, which was only 1.25 miles from Hedda's East 50th Street studio. When it's flipped, the lighter portion appears to be the East River where you can see the reflection of the truss. Just an observation.

    Listening to this at 10:39 -> The Number F. Just a thought, was Yayoi Kusama aware of computing, because the standard number system in a computer is based on binary but scaled up to a nibble (4 bytes) the representation is called Hexadecimal, 0 through F with F being the highest digit at a value of 15. Just a thought :)

    Black is a shade because it is a absence of light and white is a color because it is the component of light. Black is a natural component of the universe and will always exist however you need other colors to create white which needs a visible light spectrum. 9:00 Art follows scientific and mathematical properties nothing can escape that even chaos has mathematical principle and shout out to MC escher. *dabs*
