This is beautiful. 😍

Wow

Ya you made it and your still in it , corrupt mother fuckers

First comment. Congratulations on this crazy awesome achievement, Hugo! Keep going!

Excellent. Thank you.

Tireless and dedicated. Thank you, Dr. Fauci. God bless you.

I worked for Portrait Painter Ralph Wolfe Cowan between 1985 - 1990. What a talent, he was !

Wonderful ❤

I just got the 1948 version of The Water Margin/All Men are Brothers and saw Covarrubias was the creator of the BEAUTIFUL illustrations and wanted to know more about him. Great video

did she have a ghost writer?

Still amazed by the direct simplicity of these charcoal portraits-- and glad that this exhibition was mounted even in a time when few could visit and enjoy the works, though the gallery was filled and waiting. We tend to forget-- here where I live a local museum (MART) had mounted a show to display a newly-restored Caravaggio masterpiece, along with related masterful works...and nothing but the video tour remains. Not a soul could visit the museum during lockdown. Celebrate our current open access to original works of art, and try to see actual works as often as possible. It makes a difference.

this is historical revisionism: not his last painting and deliberately left unfinished. Also, David Ward succeeded in make Keith Haring boring, a real feat!

Thank you for making this important discussion available .

Amazing

My grandfather, Stephen Elmer Ellsworth was probably named after him.

The first painting that you showed on video, can you make tutorial of it, please .....

No greater American ever lived!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always wondered how someone viewing such pieces of art are to analyze them in this way when we have no context?

Thank you so much for sharing these drawings with me!

Placing great importance on the value of master drawings, I simply cannot look at Sargent's drawings without stating the obvious. And that is, for those who have seriously studied the best drawings throughout art history, I find these quite minor when compared to all the better artists. There is a degree of insipidity of "vision", while executed with much crowd-pleasing flashiness using a whole slew of what I must call "illustrator's tricks". Again, for me, Sargent's drawings (paintings, too!) do not measure up very well in the annals of Fine Art. The vision is always quite maudlin. I can understand his popularity because, on the surface, general likeness is depicted, but always with an eye on commercialism.

Only African people can tell their story!😂😂

Another bi---

As is usually the case, the narration ruins the video. Ridiculous commentary.

I watched this with a smile on my face because these drawings are wonderful and I enjoyed them so much. Thank you.

❤❤❤❤

First

I can't believe the Gallery can't get a decent pa system up and running.

Healy holds many secrets!! Art and history

Amazing !!!

Excellent.

Very interesting. Loved seeing the portraits. Good interview. Thank you.

For as much as I don't like watercolors (of his- I don't like the medium specifically) his charcoals are mesmerizing. I could look at the detail of these all day. thanks.

I will die mad that this is not simply one episode in a dozen seasons of this.

Environmentalism = self-aggrandizing, oral-only (talking about it) exercise in futility and scamming government out of money by women and their simp orbiters. What a great panel to showcase how worthless environmental activists are, it's all an excuse to go for a vacation in Hawaii paid for by scammed donation money to speak to some 'village elder', like he's the global authority that has to be listened.

Colon Cemetery in Havana, supposedly the second largest in Latin America, has some very interesting graves. Amongst them is that of American hijacker, one time Black Panther Party member, William Lee Brent. During the last years of his life Mr. Brent said he was working on a book about the discrimination faced by black people in Cuba. Mind you this is in Castro's Cuba which was depleted of many whites. In Castro's Cuba where anyone would have been treated to lectures on the superiority of The Revolution because it did not discriminate amongst whites and blacks, men and women. Of course, Mr. Brent could never publish such a book in Cuba. And, as Kurt Vonnegut might have said, "so it goes".

There was a movement for autonomy in Cuba that even dated back before 1868. However, the Spanish didn't offer autonomy as a way to potentially resolve the third Cuban War for independence until the Maine blew up in Havana harbor, probably as a consequence of a coal bunker fire. The Spanish's reaction to the outbreak of the third war in 1895 is reflected in who they put in charge first having as Governor General Campos, who had "saved" Cuba for Spain in the Ten Years War, then appointing the "butcher" Wyler and penultimately the conciliatory Blanco.

The term "decolonizing" ceases to make sense in the context of Cuba. Now, yes, Cuban history is usually divided into phases. The colonial prior to 1762 and then to 1895-1898. The Spanish-American War/third Cuban War of Independence, The Republic, The Revolution, and post-Castro Cuba. But the indigenous population was early devastated by disease and secondarily the ecomienda system. Because of this Cuba can hardly be called a colony after the end of the 16th century. A generation before historians like Philip Foner sought to view Cuba's history through the lens of labor emancipation, and in particular through the struggles of Afro -Cubans. Much of this history was loosely couched as a Marxist struggle. Marxism and Communism having truly fallen on hard times, Dr Ferrer phrases this history as of it were through a personal lens. But she's a "white" Cuban who came as a child in 1963 with an exodus of mostly other white middle and upper class Cubans. Can she really appreciate what the experience was like for Afro Cuban families? Or is it academic. E.g. in another online talk* she suggests that Cuba is black. Well nonsense. As Dr Ferrer herself recounts the Spanish and many wealthy Cubans were very much afraid of Haitian style slave revolts. The Aponte "rebellion" of 1812 and the truly fearsome Escalera revolt of 1844 were very much on the minds of Cubans and Spaniards. In part for this reason Spain encouraged more immigration. By the time that Cuba abolished slavery in 1886, about 1/3rd of the island was pardo o moreno. It was not all black as coals. In fact, not only would Americans of the 20th century believe that most Cubans were white, but that despite Afro-Cubans having played such a large role in the Mambi army, Afro-Cubans were far more cast aside during the Republic than Puerto Rico were, that island being smaller, there was more miscegenation. In fact, for those who identified as white, race must have seemed to have stopped being a concern after the 1912 Partido de Color uprising. And indeed some of those may have even viewed those protests as a consequence of disenfranchised veterans. It's more logical to speak about discrimination on all levels, overt and more subtle, patronizing and slumming experiences than actually of decolonization. I am sure that even if Cuba had gained independence in 1820, and no the "most loyal isle" despite the sentiments of some intellectuals didn't even try until 1868, but even if Cuba had joined other Latin American countries in achieving independence early on, the Cuban sugar plantation owners would have striven to preserve slavery. Some wanted it to become a slaveholding American state! Was Cuba an American colony? And was it's experience colonial in that sense? I know that many Cubans of Dr. Ferrer's parents age if they had deep roots on the island would view Cuba's history of one of trading masters, the United States for Spain, the Soviet Union for the United States. And their overarching drift of Cuban history is of never really being independent. But that's not to say that Cubans really were a colony of the United States... And no I'm not going to examine how many resources the Hawley Sugar Trust "controlled." So it's not appropriate to talk about decolonizing Cuba. It's sort of a lame excuse for Cuba after 1990 having one of the most insipid economies in the Americas...as of it were obligatory suffering for past experiences that are the fault of the United States, or if all its problems in the first half of the 20th century a legacy of it as a colony to Spain. *Dr Ferrer's books are amongst the best in recent history of Cuba. Only Sugar, Cigars and Revolution is a better read. And that's saying a lot because of the broad scope of Cuba, An American History, which makes it more comparable to the similarly titled book by Hugh Thomas from 1971 reissued in 2010.

DH expressions detail the spirit for excellence in activism .

Thank you for detailing. My sorority sister HER life reflections are an essential narrative for leadership

Watching this program in 2024 is almost surreal given the events that have occurred over the past 10 years.in this country. Dr. Maya Angelou's presence is missed in this day and time. Thankfully, Dr. Cole is still here with us. Let us appreciate our elders and give them their flowers while they are still among us, while honoring the elders looking down over us to keep the legacy going. This recording is precious because Dr. Angelou passed just over a month later in May 2014 and her words still ring ever more today.

JEB was just as much handsome as he was dashing, thank you.

Love this.
