Why is it important to know (learn) about Art History? I ask you. I know why I studied, and continue to study, Art History. But I want to know what you think. And since I truly believe it is quite important, for artists and non-artists alike, because everybody loves art in one way or another. All you have to do is walk by one of the museums in your city and if your museums are some of the famous ones you will immediately notice long queues in front.
So I have tried to make the experience easy and appealing by creating short videos that deal with important artists that have shaped art history in one way or another. I will be continuing the series little by little if I see a good response. But at the moment I have not noticed much interest. The artists I have chosen are not in any order and the ones I have chosen are not my favourites or least favourites. They, whether I like them (some) or not, are part of this great history, so they are included. But you will immediately understand and know whether I like them or not.
In any event, here is one of the videos that has not had much views and really, this is one of the great artists, at least for me. I hope you enjoy it.

Yes, not the one from the 16th Century… Maybe he was not too popular in America…

Yes, his strange, twisted, and sometimes morbid art somehow appeals to me. I like the series mon ami. keep doing them.

We like art history as it is cultural history, which tells you a lot about the state of the society in which the artists live.
Francis Bacon is very much discussed here. We saw a picture of him for the first time in Bregenz/Austria. Since then, we have seen a lot of his work that we find interesting, but we don’t like it.

Yes, art history is the history of our culture as is theatre history or dance history. And I suppose Francis Bacon is not for everybody but you are right, his paintings are quite interesting. Thank you so much!

I found that when I look at a piece of art, when it pleases my eye, I want to know more about the history surrounding the art and the artist.
