Charlie Rose - The Age of Rembrandt

[TitoTarrrantula]

What a wonderful range of specialities - i enjoy the old masters every time i have the chance to see them, especially Rembrandt, Rubens and van Gogh, each master oft his own with an abilitiy to show life and its circumstances.

[ejdf870]

Van Gogh was nowhere near the same league as either Rembrandt or Rubens

[kasumisman]

indeed i dont see van gogh as a master but just an artist thats probably important in history maybe like picasso

[RsAnc1ents]

agreed

[wurrling]

"Das Zeitalter Rembrandts" macht mit einer Auswahl an Werken und Künstlern gerade Station in Österreichs Hauptstadt, Wien. Wirklich empfehlenswerte Ausstellung, die noch bis 21.06.09 in der ALBERTINA zu sehen ist.

Thank You -

Charlie Rose and Philip de Montebello? What a joke! These two are both suffering from the NO CLUE BETTY BLUE plague. They talk about a collection without the slightest idea what the art is doing. It's all literature to them. Charlie Rose, oh how you pander to the establishment. His latest fiasco, a date with Damian Hirst. Says it all. I won't even begin to broach the subject of Philip. Not yet. But it is being collated as I write.

Rembrandt is without a doubt the greatest painter in the history of what today is still called art. The so called artist of today couldnt even clean rembrandts pallette. Todays artworld is nothing but a scam, for critics, how can blind men judge the beauty of a sunset or anything else.

[ejdf870]

There are still a few good painters around today (Giuseppe Russotto, Rupert Alexander, David Leffel, to name a few) that put some of the lesser painters of the past to shame.

We tend to judge the art of the past by its cream. For every Rembrandt there were thousands of mediocre painters in his time.

@camargovalentino you're a fool

[tonireed1]

yes the ultimate experience in a museum as the curator says, is" the viewer with a single work of art." Isn't it true that when you are lucky enough to merge with the piece because you have recognized within 'it' the same light or feel that is your 'self' that for awhile you are of the other paradigm that most believe we have to wait for. And Vermeer and Rembrandt recognized the feel of profound silence for what it was. Would that more artists of today could infuse there work with it.

Show more paintings!

Charlie, thanks for contributing to this site. Always stimulating, always provocative, always makes me want to gather more information on a particular subject. I cruise the list with your name attached and become better informed. Your videos help me to discriminate from all the "stuff" out there.

[TOPSEXYVIDEOS]

Thanks for doing that. :)

[asianbee21]

the best of rembrandt are at the frick's collection.

[Cyanidespork]

in this age of digital, i pray we don't lose the traditional skill everything is based on.

[insomnia100]

Another conservative artist being paranoid. We're not getting rid of the skills, only the old methods. Geez.

[tonireed1]

perhaps Cyanidespork should have said I hope that there are some new artists coming along who will be able to infuse their art in what ever medium with the 'x' factor, the zone, the feel--the stuff that makes you lose yourself without thought inside of the painting-only to awaken knowing that artist and viewer had merged. That depth of 'feel' is rarely achieved in today's intellectualation of art. Kupka a grand exception.

[Cyanidespork]

dont think i'm being paranoid, what i'm refering to was the techniques. working with oils, watercolor, traditional media takes different techniques than digital. plus its always nice having something tangible at the end without the aid of machines. machines do make things faster though, a trade off i guess

[insomnia100]

They do more than make things faster. Software programs allow to do alot of new things with art you couldn't do with traditional techniques, so its more than just efficiency. There are new tangible options as well.

Dear Losers,

It's all a big lie. What is labeled as ART is actually DEAD, while what is truly shaping out lives is the immediate and very influential ADVERTISING. 

Oink,

[historywillabsolve]

the dutch had so many great painters.

[abe3443]

talk about pomp! i've never seen more obvious horn tooting!

[rastudio1]

Extraordinary body of work ! Excellent presentation.

[teflonmagnet]

curator reminds me of frank langella...especially his voice.

[sonofaspade]

I have an amazing still life in which the signature is so ornate on the painting...thankfully on the back on a stretcher bar, it says Langella...I have tried every search, and get the "Actor", was he also a Painter? It is very nice, pears, apples glass pitcher, and porcelain "English Victorian" ornate on back of table". excellent balance of light and nice reflection to enhance the realness of it...Just thought it was amazing to see the name here. Thanks for doing that. :)
