The most powerful closing ever made by Simon Shama

This is the video from "The Power of Art - Mark Rothko". Just listen to Mr. Shamas' ending. Perfect in every sense.

I think Simon Schama may be my biggest influence in studying Art History. He and Sister Wendy have made this so fascinating to me. I hope I get to meet him in person one day! Thanks so much for posting this. I think it's his best work.

@spirited154 Indeed t is people like Simon Shama that make seemigly haphazard history of Art an interesting and stimulating part of human life.

@psgsummers Surely you realise that's one of the ways male homosexuals telegraph their orientation--and an indication of the at least partially social nature of homosexuality. Nobody comes out of the womb with that inclination, yet it's rampant among gays.

Never noticed how he pronounces 'ssssss.'

@porfavormeudeus Firstly, I'll take "being nuts" as a compliment, if only because normalcy is overrated. Secondly, yes. You can, in fact, ruin someone else's day with that comment. For example, the person who posted this video probably doesn't like having it ruined with your pointless statement. Thirdly, if this video isn't about deeper meanings in art than what is on the surface, then tell me what it is. Simon Schama's videos are about going into depth about things.

@spirited154 "Appreciating the deeper meanings of life than day-to-day bodily functions"? I hope you're fucking joking. And how can I ruin "someone else's day" with a comment? You, my friend, are a bit nuts.

Now and forever are the same thing for Rothko.

@tvpaker2008 XD I'm just glad most people have more respect and decency than that.

@spirited154 thank God for people like you who can put my feelings into words. :D <3

@porfavormeudeus Why bother posting that? What purpose does it serve other than to tell us how immature and impolite you are? If that's the impression you want us to get, then you've succeeded, but I'm amazed you would want people to think so negatively of you. This is a video about appreciating the deeper meanings of life than day-to-day bodily functions. I'm sorry you've failed to see that. And more than that, I'm sorry you had the gall to ruin someone else's day with your comment.
