I just assumed that this was some promotion by Games Workshop when I first saw the painting.

I think thus is something we have all felt - surrounded by people but still feel lonely. Really love Hopppers work.

I just watched the debut of the new HoloLive EN.. "Hololive Justice". I gotta say.. it was quite interesting to be honest! Expecting more from the company xD

I never took it as anti communist, but as a cautionary tale of revolutions being co opted by authoritarians. I see your point, but wonder if many will see it as a strawman. Not sure - think on this, I must.

He was never talented and his paintings involved little to no effort.

I think that you have got this wrong! Go and do more research. But that’s just my opinion.

Really helpful video. Thank you!

Red,Pink,color makes me sick!

all media is propaganda

It’s American Regionalism, a movement supported by FDR New Deal programmes. This painting seems to be iconic to Americans but when I introduced it as a good example of Regionalism to my English art group, nobody had ever seen it! I agree about it having a hint of tension and danger and,to me,the farmer comes over as just about holding it in whilst his daughter is stoically hoping he doesn’t loose it completely. She’s scared. Where’s the wife? I’ve never really held to the ‘country bumpkin’ theory but the fact that there’s two entirely opposite interpretations surely makes it an ‘interesting’ picture even if not likable. I’d never have it on my own wall! Far too creepy.

Bacon is lying.

Between "Nighthawks" and "Soir Bleu" I find "Nighthawks" more compelling. However, "Gas" is more compelling to me than either of the others. As so often there is a lonely figure, but in addition to the usual sense of loneliness, there's a suggestion that all of this character's social interactions are few and fleeting.

Like buying a vintage american gibson guitar. Its just an investment not better than joe shmoe's guitars

14:43 I'm Chilean and I approve this message

Excellent video! Thank. you!

Is this where he ends up when he dies?

Johnny Cash was also southern, the south will be free yankee and your head will be on a pike waved around like a rebel flag

i would go further and say that it literally creates a new history

Mirror the image, flip it upside down, mirror it into4……… and you will see hell. Sad cursed dark image

I'm on the exact opposite of the video narrator. He is a real person with a very real problem. Not knowing the problem and imposing ones own feelings is shallow. There are different reasons to be sad and some are a ton more serious and devastating. This is the later, he becomes much more empathetic

thanks for the video

I remember coming across this painting in a U.S. history book when I was about ten years old, and I was so entranced by it that I must've stared at it for an hour without knowing what the subject matter was. Thank you, Shawn, for unlocking a childhood memory!

A brief but -once again - high quality relevant critique. I am proud to say I am a descendant of Jean Baptiste Richards et Marie Youe of the Peoria (Great Lakes before borders)Nation from the late 1600s. And even in my grandfather that history was revealed in his constant love of the north country. Thank you so much for your work.❤

Interesting!

You have a warped view of Fascism, not based in reality. In typical leftist fashion, you assign postmodernist meaning to that which has no meaning. Pouring urine over a crucifix is not art and takes no skill. Gluing carpet to a canvas and throwing paint at it takes no skill has no meaning, and is not art. I don't hear anyone debating modern art other then when they find out how many tax dollars are pissed away on it!

The proportions of Wolf's arms are rediculously long.

Gen. James Wolfe was only 32 when he died. The victory was not an easy one defeating Marquis de Montcalm de Saint-Veran who had caused a lot of problems for the British during the 7 years war. The painting is a significant moment as it marks a turning point: the rise of the British & the decline of France as a world power.

I know that this video focused on the historic use of this painting in building the British empire - but this painting still plays a big places in contemporary (Anglo) Canadian identity. When you say “textbook propaganda” you’re not wrong: most Canadians will first encounter this painting in their history text books as part of the “founding” of Canada.

The not use of the togas, imo, could be seen as a statement not only about how history is happening now and you, the today viewer, should sacrifice as well, but it could be a "this is the new Rome" statement The toga ofc brings images of ancient Greece and Rome, so it'd be fitting to proclaim, trough the choice of the dresses, that the UK is the rightful successor to Imperial Rome I mean, everyone stole from the Roman imagery. Whether you be the zar, a jacobin or a fascist

I remember studying this painting in school over a decade ago

Art transcends political or personal thought. Richard Wagner was a racist jerk but produced some of the most sublime music the world has ever heard. Once an artist creates something and then it's out there, their motivations become irrelevant. The public now decides for themselves.

I haven't looked at art as propaganda as often as I should. It seems obvious but many times I'm looking at a painting for other elements.

I've been watching this and getting tiny jolts thinking " thats not what i remember" but geez you pushed it with that communism not being anti christian ai. religious. The project seems was nice but has quite a bit of mistakes or wishfull misinterpretations just to make the square peg round. You seem nice, just ad an astorisk or smthn.

Is this painting related to the 1949 movie Isle of the dead, from Boris Karloff?

another excellent look into the past

It varies to be honest, when jack Kirby came back from war he co-created the fantastic four, modern Thor, the hulk, the avengers, black panther, the diver surfer and many more

We have evolved morally where those who stood for expansion of empire whereby natives were tortured are not dubiously held as hero or matyr anymore. Only the native who defended their lands against any form non native invasion are held as heroes .Even if your books say so,this factoid matyre may be studied to navigate thru the capitalist system for living but will no longer held as ideological belief.😅 We can have many matyr for the french among those who defended France against German takeover but not in the colonies ex. True matyr exist in many tribal African nations, Indigenous people in America and Americas,China,Japan,and Eastern Europe and some few in the Northern Eastern Africa(Middle East) and in India.However,there is no such thing as a matyr British along the line them fighting against the colonies,including in the fight against the USA,nor does it exist any matyr among American fighter against the British either, for , the very land they were both dying for was never for either of the twoLet's this sinks in ,matyrdom is Not a subjective notion but a universal principle for if that is not the case,the random suicide bomber with no territorial arguments will qualified as one ,which creates incongruency morally.A martyrdom over artificial ideology that cannote the takeover of anyone lands is never one.Matyrdom along the line of defending historical indigenous physical assets against an invaders or a death over defence of a superior moral principle within the native country qualifies as martyrdom

bruh who made that map with great britain in yellow, France in green and spain in beige? Everyone knows france is blue, spain is yellow and GB is red.

So many genocides started with that painting, and here we are.

2:35 as far as I know, i believe, TUNIC were used to worn during wars and TOGAS were meant for formal occasions. Even in the picture show at 2:35 man is wearing Tunic and not Toga. I know this the most nonsense piece of information you'd ever know of; but still, 😂😂

Excellente video, comme toujours ! je me pose juste une petite question puisque tu dis être de descendance française est-ce la français est ta langue maternelle et si c'est le cas pourquoi ne pas faire tes vidéos en français ? je me doute que c'est pour touché une plus grande audience mais je suis tout de même curieux. thanks a lot for your work.

You could talk about other countries with similar paintings

Thanks!

I've never heard surrnatural before

Thanks, m' Man, for showing Us great 'Art', and giving Us Your insight -- not only of the Works, but of "the times". You've got a "good eye". Illustrated by Your inclusions like, "... the pencil of an Artist must be governed by...." and, "... People have been primed..." Excellent composition, this 'multy-media' piece You've created and presented. 🙂 Rick Bonner Pennsyltuck

Are you still streaming on twitch or diskord? I don't find anything anymore.

And now we have memes of Trump depicted as a martyr. Textbook propaganda.

hell yeah

No. The youth font like the monarchy in the UK as many of us have grown up hungry, wearing rags, living in damp and rotten victorian era housing, live in violent and run down towns and cities and we have very little in ways of employment or life oppertuntirs. Its not just the royals. The UK still has a caste system in the form of the lords, dukes, duchesses, ladys, earls.... 1% of our population control 50% of our total wealth. Not once have the royals done ANYTHING to helpnor benefit their people.dont be fooled bybtheir "humanitarian" work. Go here, take a few press photots, give a little speach. They have not and never will help any of the british people. I understand why it would be in the interest of the rich and old world money types to promote the monarchy. Whatbi will never understand is all the poor who STILL support the royals and defend them, theyve dine a fantastic job at conditioning the public from birth. Wake up people, only by being concious aboht whatnis going on can we make any meaningful chnage.

Oh, un marcheur blanc..
