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.

Tune in for a live Q&A with Corey on Wednesday, February 7 at 3:00 p.m. EST! He’ll be answering any questions you might have on artists, materials, and techniques. kzread.info/dash/bejne/gayHmrqYhpm6c7g.html
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.
Please never stop making these ..
I ve learnt so much over the last 2 years doing these courses. I feel so drawn to New York and the diversity of the people in the palettes. So interesting for me from across the pond to study and understand American traditions and movements. Amazing 🤩
I love your videos! I’m taking an art appreciation class (I just started college) and it’s introduced me to a whole new world. I’ve never been so eager to learn about something that I do hours of research outside of studying.
Many thanks Corey, it is always a pleasure to listen to you, both in the course and explaining the exhibitions.
I love that way you explain one of each paint, I love this channel! Please upload more videos like this!! ☺️
I like how you explain things so well out of your videos. Compliments! I hope this series will get bigger and bigger!
The Coursera course was amazing! I learned so much about Abstract Expressionist paintings and I studied art at university!
Mr. D'Augustine is always a pleasure to watch. Check out his videos demonstrating how to create works similar to abstract artists. They are fabulous and any artist would enjoy and learn from them. Expand your imagination!

Thanks so much! Here's the link to check out Corey's other videos in our IN THE STUDIO series! kzread.info/head/PLfYVzk0sNiGEZXlIltPP7Yy_s5gTM7hf8
This is a really great way to approach speaking about abstract painting. Mr Corey has the totally right approach to understanding modern and post modern painting. It is about the essence of the act of painting,
Nice work Corey, you do a great job! I love these videos. thanks to you and MoMA for making them.
I'm finishing up the course, and have enjoyed it very much. Corey D'Augustine is a wonderful instructor!
Corey, you're a Boss brother. Love your studio work and the confident approach to paining, and presentation in general that you exhibit.
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.
Your explanations are great, Corey!
You are a treasure, thank you for your explanations and fresh lively look at these artists! Love it!
Always love to rewatch all your videos Corey. You were the impetus of my new life of painting. Thanks!
I would like to see a new series with Corey! I love all the videos with him!
This was wonderful. Thank-you!
Thank you Corey D'Augustine, everything was elegantly explained.
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.
Thank you so much for your great explanations!
Thank you! Super useful and informative! (a student from your Coursera online course)
Thank you for this brilliant analysis. It was inspiring.
Enjoyed the art and your commentary, Mr. D'Augustine.
Really enjoy your videos, I've learned SO much and you've introduced me to so many new artists! Wonderful series!

This is so awesomely done! As a woman painter myself I feel privileged in this day and age to have the resources and inspiration to continue my career as an artist. Beautiful works! Thank you! www.RoseMurphyArt.com
Thanks for addressing the artists as artists, rather than just giving them credit for being women.
I always enjoy your very interesting way of looking at art - and really seeing and talking about the piece of art and because of that I also payed for your art course , but unfortunately I did never find out why I could not get access to the course. I still would love to follow the course but dont want to pay twice and then maybe once more not being able to get access to it. But Thank you very much for your very fine work - here in the free video.
Thrilling video series, tx so much :)
Corey, you're amazing. So much insight and info. Incredibly succinct. My painting is loads better thanks to you.
These videos are just fabulous ! So needed. Can't wait to see more
more more more more and even more Corey videos and courses PLEASE!!!!!!!!
I came here from the Coursera course. So good. Love the learning. :)
Concise insights showing a wide range of works!
At last I ´m learning something on modern art. Thank you.
i really enjoyed this tour ! :D
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.
Muscular Van Gogh, fantastic. Totemic structure assemblage, you just have a gift for musical delivery of these concepts.
I am passing course in coursera. Ilove this guy. He opens something new in my art vision.
Wonderful teacher - as always....
Thank you.
Thank you!
I got really interested on the first one!
I enjoyed the well expressed comments of such important women works
Beverly Russo: I am presently studying Women and the Visual Arts and was thrilled to see that this emphasis was on women artists. Thank you for your wonderful tour. I will return...

I love the description of paintings. Love the wood sculpture!
Great art by senoras presented. Thanks.
Love the Joan Mitchell. It reminds me of prairie wildflowers, or an aerial view of a parade.
Wow great video, thank you ! I think that Mitchell was most influenced by Cezanne's late works
I'm really enjoying all the videos- who are some of the better artist of the modern movement to watch today??
I miss videos from this guy. MOMA should really make more content especially series focused on different artists and their techniques, painting in a style of etc.
13:08 A blank canvas. GENIUS!
Great narrator and exposition!
Thanks man
Really enjoyable
Awesome!
Wonderful
Thank you for this vedio
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 :)
Corey has done of the best videos I’ve seen on looking @ ART. He’s clear, concise & very knowledgeable. Look forward to more of him. Thanks
Excellent!!🎩
At last ! I shall go to Cousera!
Thank you so much. What an insightful video into the exhibition. So glad women are finally being represented in the art world. and in museums.
unique arts
Enjoyed your video, but I don't know what to make of your comment about Kusama. There are various ways of reading a title and perhaps the whole point of this one may just be that because F isn't a number it stands apart when it is thought of as such.
May be the painting titled Number F" is referred for some reason to Number Fi (Fibonazzi) 1,61803... ?
Thanks Corey .Pls tell us somthing about Compmaturism Regards Jacek Pokrak
Corey does a nice job of presenting and speaking about these paintings. Having said that, now I say that none of these paintings or artists are very good. I bring long experience and credentials to making this assessment.
Thank you for this. I like how Corey D'Augustine explains art works, he appears to be very knowledgeable, but please can you ask him to stop saying 'if you will' so many times?
this man is a saint and i love him
excellent video and very interesting and informative narration also....pity about the overuse of the words? Ahh Amm and Umm
Warm greeting from bali

thanks for replying :) i like your video about her and the others in the link. regarding frida kahlo, i would like a more in depth cover about her numerous portraits. i've always thought that the best way to understand them is to look at the background or on anything else other than her face because i think that's the real inner portrait she was showing. for example, the one with cropped hair, that one to me looks more like the person is really diego (the clothes are a dead giveaway to me) and her real portrait in that painting is all the hair scattered all around. will you make a future video about that? i hope so, she's so very interesting
Even though I don't really like every painting shown here, I loved hearing about each of them. Great narrator/tour guide.
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*
thanks art drake
what about Judit Reigl?
I prefer the American expressionism to the traditional masters….seriously so brave and courageous
super 1
Please look at the work of Dorothea Rockburne
Big Black was the original Borg cube. There is indeed nothing new under the sun
Thank you: it's a great video and wonderful explanation but, please, use a tripod!
The first painting to me looks like a ship not a bridge.
Thanks. These videos have somewhat taken the backwater out of backwater.
F is not a number hahaha Mr. Corey is the best
