He meticulously evaluated each artist in nine distinct categories: technique, inspiration, colour, design, genius, composition, originality, mystery, and authenticity. A maximum of 20 points was allocated to each category. Salvador Dali himself claimed the 5th position in his list, a testament to his exceptional self-awareness and creative prowess. In 4th place, was the legendary Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance polymath whose innovations transcend time. In 3rd spot was the masterful Diego Velazquez, whose groundbreaking techniques left an indelible mark on art history. 2nd position went to the great renaissance master Raphael, whose ethereal works continue to captivate hearts across generations. The pinnacle of artistic excellence, according to Dali's discerning eye, was Johannes Vermeer whose mastery of light and meticulous attention to detail probably earned him the coveted title of Salvador Dali's ultimate artistic luminary.

Born in 1891 in Untermhaus, Germany, Dix was a prolific and versatile painter who produced works in a variety of styles, including Expressionism, New Objectivity, and Surrealism. Despite his early training in academic painting, Dix's paintings often contained a sharp, critical edge that was in stark contrast to the idealized, academic art of the 1930’s in Germany under the Hitler regime. His paintings and prints often depicted the violence and suffering of World War I, as well as the decadence and corruption of German society in the 1920s. Dix's works were banned by the Nazi regime in the 1930s, and he was drafted into the People’s Militia during World War II. After the war, Dix continued to create and exhibit his paintings until his death in 1969. Today, he is considered one of the leading artists of the 20th century and his works can be found in major art museums and collections around the world. #arthistory Please consider subscribing to this channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/arthistoryschool?sub_confirmation=1 And supporting this channel on Patreon, https://patreon.com/paulpriestleyart many thanks!

From his early days as a Fauvist, collaborating with Picasso, to his ground breaking role in co-founding Cubism, Braque's artistic trajectory is a testament to innovation and creative daring. In this video, we'll navigate the intricate interplay between Braque's evolving style and the cultural backdrop of his time. Witness his mesmerizing fusion of form and content, as he skilfully navigated the realms of abstraction and representation. We'll explore his profound influence on Cubist principles, dissecting his collaborative efforts with Picasso and the birth of a revolutionary movement that transformed the artistic landscape forever. Georges Braque (1882–1963) stands as one of the seminal figures in 20th-century art, hailed for his transformative impact on the Cubist movement. Born in Argenteuil, France, Braque initially pursued a career in decorative painting before embracing the bold colours of Fauvism, collaborating closely with Pablo Picasso during the early 1900s. However, it was their co-invention of Cubism that catapulted Braque to artistic renown. Braque's ingenious approach to deconstructing and reconstructing forms revolutionized the concept of representation. His "analytical Cubism" sought to depict objects from multiple perspectives in a single composition, challenging traditional notions of space and dimension. His meticulous exploration of geometric shapes, fragmented planes, and earthy colour palettes gave rise to artworks that celebrated abstraction while retaining a sense of connection to reality. The outbreak of World War I temporarily paused Braque's artistic pursuits, but he resumed his creative journey with a renewed vigour post-war. The "synthetic Cubism" phase that followed introduced elements of collage and mixed media, showcasing his versatility and innovation. Throughout his career, Braque's dedication to pushing artistic boundaries left an indelible mark, inspiring generations of artists to rethink the way they perceived and expressed the world around them. His legacy endures as a testament to the power of artistic evolution and imagination.

Henri Rousseau exaggerates a great deal for example he claimed to serve in Mexico where he got inspiration for his jungle paintings – but there is no evidence from army records that he left France. He left the army in 1868, moved to Paris, France and married Clemence Boitard before getting a job as a tax collector on gates of Paris. He started copying paintings in the Louvre in 1884 and was totally self-taught. In 1885 Henri Rousseau exhibited his first pictures at the Salon des Refuses, Paris. The paintings had technical problems but had a naïve charm about them. His ‘paintings Surprised’, Old Junior’s Cart and ‘Scout attacked by a Tiger ‘are amongst is most important works. In 1908 Picasso presents him with a cardboard medal in his studio at the Bateau Lavoir in Paris. He died a pauper in 1910 and is buried in a pauper’s grave, 7 people attend his funeral. He was reburied in 1912 and again in 1947.

He was a prominent figure in the New Objectivity movement, which emerged in Germany after World War I and aimed to capture the harsh realities of life in a modern, industrialized society. Dix studied art in Dresden, and during World War I, served as a machine gunner on the Western Front. The horrors of war deeply affected him, and he would later produce a series of powerful anti-war works, including his famous triptych, "The War." In the 1920s and 1930s, Dix established himself as one of Germany's most important artists, and his works were exhibited widely throughout Europe. He was known for his stark, realistic style, which often portrayed the darker aspects of society. During the Nazi era, Dix's work was deemed "degenerate" and he was banned from exhibiting his art. He was even briefly imprisoned by the Gestapo. After the war, he continued to work as an artist and was eventually recognized as one of Germany's most important modern artists. Otto Dix died on July 25, 1969, in Singen, Germany, at the age of 77. His legacy as a painter and printmaker continues to be celebrated today, and his works can be found in museums and galleries around the world. #arthistory #historyofart #famousartists Another version of this video which depicts more works and images by Otto Dix, that some may find disturbing.

In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell, but the specter of Nazi-era atrocities still haunted the collective memory of Germany. It wasn't until the 24th of June 1995 that a remarkable transformation unfolded before the eyes of German President Roman Herzog and the world, orchestrated by the visionary Bulgarian artist, Christo. On that fateful day, Christo and his artist wife Jeanne-Claude embarked on an audacious artistic endeavour - the wrapping of the Reichstag, Germany's iconic Parliament building. This architectural marvel had endured a tumultuous past, gutted by a mysterious fire in 1933, just prior to Hitler's ascent to power. For decades, it stood as a haunting ruin, bearing witness to a dark chapter in history. The symbolic act of encasing the Reichstag in shimmering fabric became a profound testament to the resilience of the German spirit. It symbolized the nation's determination to shed the remnants of its painful past and emerge anew. The wrapping was a visual metaphor, signifying the healing and reconstruction of a nation scarred by totalitarianism. On the 6th of July 1995, the cloth cocoon was delicately unraveled, unveiling the rebirth of the Reichstag. Reconstruction, organised by the architect Norman Forster, commenced promptly, allowing the German Parliament to once again in 1999, convene within its hallowed halls, just as it had before the Nazis' devastating reign. This masterstroke by Christo stands as one of his most poignant and impactful contemporary art works, encapsulating the power of art to heal wounds, reconcile history, and ignite hope in the hearts of a nation seeking redemption. The work was known as Wrapped Reichstag.

Learn about his amazing life in this Sidney Nolan biography. The artist Sidney Nolan was born in Melbourne, Australia and is one of Australia's leading artists of the 20th century, best known for his depictions of the history and mythology of bush life in Australia. He worked in a wide variety of art mediums. He is best known for his series of paintings that explore Australian stories of loss, failure, and capture, in particular the shipwreck victim Eliza Fraser and the explorers Burke and Wills who travelled 2000 miles across the Australian outback from north to south in 1860-61. Perhaps his best-known series of paintings are those of the bush ranging Kelly Gang led by the infamous outlaw Ned Kelly.

Discover the stories behind the masterpieces, from the brushstrokes of Paul Cezanne's still life to the profound emotions captured in Edvard Munch's iconic 'The Scream' painting.
