Exploring Vincent Van Gogh's Artistic Legacy |Perspective

Spectacular work. Not just Vincent's, Waldemar is at the top of his class. Tremendous depth and no nonsense insight. Bravissimo..

At 78 years old, Dutch born, and always a fan of his art,. no ducumentary I've ever seen has so empathetically and yet accurately filled in the many gaps of the stories most of us has heard. Your passion for your subject, and research are detailed, that at times you must have felt l ike your had been consumed by Vincent's soul, for you have found so many synchronicity with/ and works of art.🎇

I dunno... I unexpectedly found I had tears running down my face at the end of this marvelous episode. So sorry for Vincent's constant misery....amazed at his beautiful work...and the unfailing love brother Theo maintained for him...dispite all odds. And that final image of Theo cradling his older damaged brother in his arms whie he died only to follow him in death just six months later is devastating.Thanks for this very human story... of a Van Gogh who was often unbearable, yet brilliant & vulnerable... a real personality, not some impersonal abstract art icon. Thanks again Waldemar..🔥💥🙏🏾💥🔥❤

It’s hard to even hear Waldemarr when the music drowns his voice out. Whoever did the sound mixing really dropped the ball.

W, your brilliant lecture series on Vincent are truly illuminating ! But the cacophonic music is UNBEARABLE, muffling precious parts of your profound and learned insights. Yet, I learned so much about the Vincent genius. Thank you very much ! MJF, PhD.

The most absorbing 2 1/2 hour art documentary I’ve ever watched.

I love his documentaries but lately it’s all loud music, some not sung very well, and you can hardly hear him

Superb!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (However, you MUST rid yourself of the sound team.)

Just watched the condensed version this morning haha! And now this one! :) Weird audio in many parts where it's difficult to hear Waldemar talking over the music.

Waldemar I am obsessed with your documentary work and your thoughts on art. You have helped me become more cultured on art. Thank you for providing this content, it’s spectacular

Just discovered Waldemar and his documentaries. I’ve learned so much from this episode but the music was overwhelming and drowned out the dialogue. You’re so informative. Thank you

I loved this doc and I adore Waldemar. Perfect work.

I really enjoy & appreciate learning the real story of a person's life- their character assets & their defects, etc. Waldemar is a talented presenter. I never lose interest. I learn a lot, & I laugh a lot.

I can't say say enough about how much delight your Documentaries bring my life. Thank you

"..they ran him out of town, so now they're milking him for all he's worth." Brilliant doc!

I watched this early this morning. I love this channel with Waldermar on art. Vincent Van Gogh, one of my favorite artists. Read many books and documentaries about his life. There is one that Van Gogh may have not shot himself, he might have been protecting children that had been bullying him. One of them may have done it. Whatever, he was a fascinating artist. Thank you Waldemar , some of his artwork in this I have not seen until you showed me. I have had the opportunity to see some in person.

Personally I think that so many people are willing to accept a sanitized version of Van Gogh because his work is so accessible. His brushstrokes, his palate, and his sense of texture are all very unique so anyone with even the most casual knowledge of art can recognize his work. The problem with casual knowledge is that it doesn’t have a lot of room for nuance. It’s kind of like how da Vinci has become accepted as this profound genius but once you dig deeper you realize he was mostly a dabbler who faffed about a lot and hardly ever finished anything. In a lot of ways Vincent was a wounded man who suffered from rejection and likely some form of mental illness, but he was also selfish and erratic and many of his choices only contributed to his pain. What’s really amazing to me after watching this documentary is that someone with so little formal training could produce so much quality work in such a short period of time. Of course everyone knows Starry Night and the sunflowers and his self portraits, but it was wonderful to see so much his work both in chronological order and in context.

I know more about his life and death than any other artist. I relate to him.

Awesome video about Van Gogh. Always love Waldemar’s videos. I watched this while doing my sketch for a watercolor commission I have lol.

This is the greatest video about Vincent Van Gogh. I learned Vincent’s favorite drink and plants 🌱. Thank you 🙏
