"I'm James Payne, a curator, gallerist, and a passionate art lover. I am on a mission to demystify the art world and discover the stories behind the worldโs greatest paintings and sculptures". This is one of my favorite YouTube channels. I know some people say that art is up to interpretation but I find myself more invested when there's an explanation to the context in which the piece was made, who did it, etc. I love it when people explain things, I love history and art ๐ค
Good selection of videos that just take you through a bunch of examples of famous artworks and how they contributed to a greater movement or genre. Hosted by esteemed art scholar Sarah Urist Green, whose also the wife of John Green randomly. I liked this channel a lot in high school and find it more informative than pretentious.
