11. 'Never could understand how speaking in tongues (abstract expressionism) could edify me, unless some 'concrete message' is juxtaposed.
    Give me LIVE portrait artists where live sitters animate and collab with the expressionism … and their picture speaks a thousand words. Else … a song-painting by Van Gogh.

16. Thanks to you i got an 8/10 on my history test. XD

17. um most of this is read off of wikipedia????????

18. pronunciation … speak more slowly may be a good idea.

19. 33:10 NOT a Rothko, 13:45 NOT a Rothko, 33:46 NOT a Rothko

    I also seriously doubt this is a real Pollock 44:41

    I have no idea what this is either 47:25

    I am sorry to say there is much misinformation in this documentary. For starters, there are forgeries intermingled among real works of art. There are also incorrect examples used like the many Guston works from the 1970's, which not only is not considered Abstract Expressionist but is 20 years after the movement ended. I'm not sure what you're reading but your pronunciation of certain words was a bit clumsy, your pronunciation of Greenwich Village was glaring as was your pronunciation of Guston. It is not given a French accent it's just pronounced Gus-ton.

    Your summary of factors leading up to the creation of Abstract Expressionism ("AE") omits the most important element and that is the use of the atomic bomb and the blossoming cold war. Fear of annihilation at the push of a button, the growing Communist Red Scare, and a connection to Existentialist writers were profound influences. Many artists were in fact, Communist. Also, you show the work of Joan Mitchell at least 5 times you should at least mention her name.

    On the other hand, there are some great photographs included here, some I never saw before so thanks for that. Those early pictures of Hans Hoffman, never saw him as a young man. And some of those studio shots of de Kooning and Kline, nice.
    What are you reading from, if I may ask?

20. Let's see: poor information, frequently wrong. Plus mis-spellings, incorrect pronunciation. Even the reading is poor. I've rarely come across a more inept presentation.

21. well done

22. Please change the narrator, they can't read aloud well. mispronunciation, stumbling, and omission of punctuation throughout.

23. A VERY Heavy Duty video !!! … Art.Curator.2016@gmail.com

24. i'm sorry, i do not see the connection between intellectual theory and this art ..

25. straight off wiki

26. Amazing video. thanks for your contribution to my learning <3

27. HOW THE FUCK DID WORLD WAR 2 MAKE POLLACK THROW PAINT AT A PIECE OF CANVAS

28. would u mind checking out my abstract channel :https://youtu.be/X2u2Gjx2EW0 ? thank you!

29. In a nutshell, if you can convince rich people that it is worth a lot of money or will be worth a lot of money, then it is high art. The mastery of ancient traditions or skills requiring dedication, years of study, actual talent? Tsk, tsk, how passe and bourgeoisie. They call it an "art" movement, I call it a bowel movement. Fitting it should arise in new york city, the world capitol of shysters and con men. However, I am happy that some of these stuck up elitist dead beats were able to make a decent living for themselves. Though many of them may actually have been better off as male prostitutes or snooty waiters, seeing as how the ego can become terribly self destructive if being coddled to by the general public. I am just kidding by the way, I dig modern art, even though it is bullshit.

30. Okay- there needs to be new narrator.

31. Thanks for that. 🙂 Really useful.

32. The one true achievement of AE is that it so closely correlated experiment and beauty, giving way for the admiration of beauty in the scientific experiments in XX century, which led to reconstruction of our imagination about science on the emotional level. When I look at cloud chamber experiments I immediately think of Pollock, and when I look at spectrograms I immediately recall Rothko.

33. Very nice…but "Green Witch Village….?? Come on!"

34. good vedio

35. How I hate the preceeding adverts, they are so stupid!

36. So you worked hard on a video. Put in many hours. Should've hired someone besides yourself to narrate.

37. Κυρια Evanthia 3:53 και 13:17 εν χαλια ο ηχος. Για να μεν καμεις παραπονο οτι εν ακουμε

38. Thanks for this video. Very informative. Please consider re-posting this after removing the hum and bass pops.

39. i dont know why, but everybody is looking at me in a different way only cos im a refugee!

40. Very, very nicely done! Thank you so much! I loved the he exquisite balance of objectivity and subjectivity in this video.

41. This video is excellent! Enjoyably educational and cogently assembled. Pleasantly narrated, too. A real human voice here adds immensely to the overall presentation… Thank you

42. Worthy subject. dumb narrator or writer. Look up the word "infer."
