How cool! Thank you for posting this. What a special thing to be able to see them.

Monet - what a landscape to work with! And all that smoking ...

Renoir - I didn’t realize he was painting with such a handicap ... and also so much smoking.

Rodin - what a genius to be able to sculpt like that! He also looks good, no smoking.

Degas walking the streets ... and the women turning around to notice. Nice

Amazing.

Cool.

Taken away for a few to another time and place

thanks for posting!

What an incredible treasure. It brings tears to my eyes. The joy of being able to see those I have spent a lifetime admiring is just so emotional I cannot handle it! It touches my soul. Renoir's hands, so crippled up by what looks to be Rheumatoid Arthritis. I have that as well and it hurts so much that I have problems playing and mine is nothing like his. Look at the art he made even with that crippling disease! Rodin looks to have been a happy sort. Clever little looks. Wow, this is just so wonderful to watch.

And stone chips in his beard.
Great link.

How much smoke one cigarette put out! But it didn't seem to bother anyone close to them.

Thanks. That was fascinating!

I can't believe that I got to see this in my lifetime. I have to remark what beautiful photography this was, each frame was a portrait of a living person. This was an extremely gifted videographer in a nascent art. It was greatness filming greatness.

I often forget these gentlemen lived in the "modern" era.

I love them all, Monet and Degas my favorites but then again every artist through the ages I love and admire, so much great talent.

But I had to mute the choice of background music. And put on some Steppenwolf
