[keeke45]

i wasnt saying he was bad but i love henri

[keeke45]

he is sooooo self tought

[DesiPaddy]

i dont get art but i love the way he presents everything just as it is, no distortions!

[ikukoohira]

THanks for beautiful collaboration of work.

Nobody can say such a unique artist was a Sunday painter, I think.

[Lilyred888]

I always loved his woods... since middle school when I first discovered him... they remind me somehow shakespeare's

"a midsummer night's dream"...

so dreamy... and beautiful!! nice music too... :)

[Dobrib]

Marvellous Ravel's Pavane and nice paintings.Tanks for posting.

[paleophonus]

Waw , that man was ahead of its time in a strange way.Pitty the music oiece is played a bit to fast.Because it fits the art very well.

[rictit]

Henri was one of the best painters of the early 20th century. Even Picasso, always knew that Henri had the potential to become a genius, but unfourtanetly, Henri had a low self-Steem and not a strong character like a real professional painters should have.

I'm doing a research on HR . your video is very nice.could u pleasetell me where can i get on the web the painting of a woman nude in the forest and the white houses just after a portrait of a woman .thanks a lot

To the viewer: at 00:21 there is a painting that may not be a Rousseau. Should I remove the video and repost it without the image in question? Or should I leave it up with the comment of correction?

Post your opinion here and after a while I will count and decide what I should do.

Internally I know I should remove, correct, and repost. As I desire to never, ever, give incorrect information. My aim is to educate, not confuse!!

But I am thinking of the 87 people who fav'ed it.

Namaste.

brenda: I'm just suggesting this and I may not be right, but could the piece be a Delacroix?

[NGS712]

Is it just me or does the piece at 00:21 NOT look like a Rousseau?

[brendafohio]

You're right. It does not look like a Rousseau, more like an Orientalist painting.

I honestly have thought of taking this down and correcting it, I may do that still. But rather than do that right away, I am going to leave your correction for those who take the time to read the comment section. This is one of the first videos I had ever made and was re-edited to post here.

[NGS712]

brenda: But is it by him?

It just seemed too complex. Rousseau was an amateur [not to say he wasn't good] artist, but that looked like it was done by someone else.

[brendafohio]

Well, since I have been studying art history for six more years since I made this one, I am thinking it looks like Etienne Dinet maybe? I cannot belive now that I have more experience with styles that I did not see that this was obviously not painted by someone who's style was so clearly naive and primitive. That is why I keep trying to teach myself more. And also why I appreciate the chance to learn from others. I am sure you are right, but can't say who painted it for sure.

[NGS712]

brenda: This reminds me of the story of a Matisse painting that I think was hanging in a museum UPSIDE-DOWN! LOL

[brendafohio]

And thank you very much for the good lookin' out! I count on you all to keep me correct!

Peace.

[GronKarol]

J'adore Maurice Ravel :-)

[anselmej]

I love Henri Rousseau

[rictit]

The best painter of France at the begginigns in the 20th century. Then Matisse came and revolutionaized everything.

deux mêmes grâces à la fois naïves et savantes qui se conjoignent.

[brendafohio]

Merci pour votre commentaire, regrettablement mes deux semestres de français n'étaient pas assez pour moi le comprendre. Donc j'ai utilisé un traducteur d'internet. Il donne seulement une traduction de gisted. Donc peut-être que vous avez écrit étiez que n'il a pas traduit. « Deux mêmes grâces tout de suite naïf et sachant que cela se relie » La traduction est poétique et attentionnée, il a

sonné mieux en français ! : D

[thelonious127]

so lovely so lovely

[Luthval]

Very nice, I love Henri Rousseau paintings

;-)

Val

[brendafohio]

Thanks Val !

[biglumux]

todo esta muy bonito . gracias por la musica de ravel

[nevilleanimusic]

Nice to hear Pavane Pour Une Enfant Defunct again.

[PetitBourgeois]

It is a beautiful piece, I agree!

[BeauJames59]

the infant is unfortunately defunct.............

[brendafohio]

Please tell me that isn't what "Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte" mean, (insert confused face emoticon) here^!!! :D

[brendafohio]

meansssssssssssss (professional typo-ist)

[bonclebs]

pavane: old dance, noble and slow.

infante: the daughter of the king in Spain.

défunte: dead

Ravel imagine a typical dance compound for the death of a spanish king.

Automatic translations are always awful. Your french is quite better!!! i meant only that in the music of ravel and in the paint of Rousseau there is a mixture of naivety and learness very graceful. And you have been able to join these two graces.

[bonclebs]

for the death of a spanish king's daughter! (sorry!)

[brendafohio]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! Merci beaucoup! You have taught me something new......I love that!

[BeauJames59]

Time Out! What I read was that Ravel choose the name because he liked the sound of it, the alliteration. Please check it out for yourself, just wanted to point out what I heard............

[bonclebs]

there is a part of truth in this too. But really a pavane is a majestuous and slow music like that composition of ravel. perhapss a little too for my taste. I prefer in a similar kind le "menuet antique" and his deeper melancholia...

[aramburu]

¡Muy bonito!

Muchas gracias.

Muy buena aportación al mundo del arte

[lilamagritte]

Brenda, me gustó mucho el uso de fundidos para pasar de una pintura a otra. La edición se siente fluir con la armonía de la obra de Rousseau y conserva el aire de ensueño. Bello. Gracias.

[ozzyfuddjr]

Tres bien babe!
