Some of those clips look like they were shot at The Nelson-Atkins. True or not?

Google French Tonal Impressionism. Dare ya history girl.

@polymath7 The golden bracelet around her wrist was a common symbol for prostitution, as well as the necklace and hair style. Her shoes were also mostly worn by prostitutes. Have a look at Lefebvre's 'Chloe'. She is also a prostitute, shown with the golden bracelet.

What"s the name of the song at the end of the video?

Act models were normally prostitutes in this era. Prostitutes are often much cheaper than professional act models.

Very nice video, good job.
But I'd like to point out that Vincent van Gogh didn't die in the south of France. Most of his famous work was done in the south and he suffered from mental illness there. However, Van Gogh shot himself in Auvers-sur-Oise, which is located in northern France.
Peace!

Dammit. That should read "Modernista phase"

If you're going to include Picasso, it seems to me it would make a lot more sense to discuss the pictures of his "Modernista" of around 1898-1900.



I adore your comments, including the ones that leave me with egg on my face (like saying that van Gogh died in the south of France)! Thank you for taking an interest in enlightening me--and others--to some of the infinite nuances of art history.
I created this video as a "sub plan" to help my high school art history students study for an exam while I was away (in case you're curious) and the little boy's voice is that of my son, who was five at the time and wanted to help.
Cheers,
