I am finishing up the series on Mythology in Art with Post-Impressionist painter Paul Cézanne and his painting Leda and the Swan. I briefly go over the myth of Leda and the Swan, how Cézanne's interpretation compares to paintings of this myth from the Renaissance, and I take a look at the composition and style of this painting.

A quick look at the painting Ariadne by artist Giorgio de Chirico. This painting is included in the series I am doing on paintings depicting mythological stories. The story of Ariadne is complex and entertaining which the viewer wouldn't get right away from de Chirico's interpretation of it.

The last video in the series on the nude figure and how male and female artists portrayed this subject matter. In this video I discuss Suzanne Valadon's approach to painting the female nude figure and her painting Nude Lying on a Couch in particular. I also compare this piece to Titian's Venus of Urbino.

The third video in the series on the nude figure and how male and female artists portrayed this subject matter. This video goes into the the approach of Henri Matisse with the female nude figure, culminating with his Blue Cutout Nudes. I also spend some time discussing how we get from highly naturalistic art to an abstraction of the figure.

The second video in the series on the nude figure and how male and female artists portrayed this subject matter. This video goes into the resurgence of the nude figure in the Renaissance and also the stylistic elements of the painting. I also spend the whole time mispronouncing Urbino as Urbano, so there's that to enjoy as well.

Hello everyone! This video is a bit different from what I normally do, but I hope you enjoy it. Even if you don't plan on trying this painting technique it can be helpful to understand the context of how Abstract Expressionist and Color Field painter Helen Frankenthaler worked with her "soak-stain" technique. Here is a link to check out more of her work- https://www.frankenthalerfoundation.org/artworks/paintings

The first video in a series on the nude female figure in painting as portrayed by female and male artists. This first video is a discussion on the Self-Portrait Nude with Amber Necklace by artist Paula Modersohn-Becker.
