1
Have you ever seen a painting like this? Or this? Or this?
2
And thought to yourself, what's the big deal?
3
I could have painted that.
4
Well, you're wrong.
5
And not for the reason you might think.
6
Over the last few years online, I've seen the steadily rising opinion along the lines of abstract art isn't real art.
7
And this isn't a new opinion by any means,
8
but these days it usually comes in the form of people on TikTok pointing out famous abstract artworks
9
that they claiming they could easily replicate themselves so these couldn't possibly be real pieces of art.
10
Well, as someone with a degree in fine art who is
11
honestly just tired of hearing the same like really shallow critique of art that you don't like, I'm here to offer you a counterpoint, okay?
12
This is a peace offering.
13
I'm not claiming to be the expert, I'm not claiming to have all the authority, but I am claiming to have an opinion and a camera.
14
And that kind of seems like the only qualifications you need these days.
15
So let's talk about it.
16
The artist we're going to be talking about today is Piet Mondrian, and if you don't recognize that name,
17
you might still recognize his artwork because he's the artist behind this painting and lots of others that look very similar.
18
This composition is a great example because this is one that I have seen multiple people critiquing in this very specific way.
19
Looking at this painting, we can see it's pretty simple, right?
20
We've got straight lines, basic shapes, limited color palette.
21
This simplicity is usually the catalyst for the inevitable, I could have painted that, that everyone is just dying to say.
22
The issue is when somebody says, I could have painted that, they're usually only referring to technical skill, meaning I, regular
23
Joe, have the physical dexterity to replicate these straight lines and basic shapes onto a canvas.
24
And that is probably true, but you still couldn't have painted this.
25
Okay, teeny tiny speed run history lesson.
26
Are you ready?
27
Piet Mondrian was born in the Netherlands, 1872.
28
His dad was a professor who taught him how to draw from a really early age,
29
and his uncle was a professional artist and he taught him how to paint.
30
When he was 20 years old, he enrolled in Amsterdam's Royal Academy of Visual Arts to further his artistic career.
31
He graduates, he becomes the world famous artist that we all know today.
32
Good?
33
All that is to say, Mondrian obviously led a very creative life from start to finish.
34
He was an artist through and through, right?
35
He did not just sit down and put lines and squares onto a canvas.
36
Abstraction is not just an art style, it's actually an iterative process, and oftentimes it's a really long one.
37
When we see a finished abstract painting hanging in a museum
38
and we wonder what's so great about a couple lines on a canvas,
39
it's because we're missing the fundamentals of how those lines actually got onto the canvas.
40
Let's look at this painting.
41
This is one of Mondrian's earlier works.
42
This piece is from 1910
43
and it's safe to say looks a little bit different than the work we know him for, right?
44
You can look at this painting, I can look at this painting, and even though he's taking some inspiration from the post -impressionist,
45
he's got expressive brushstrokes, he's got vivid colors, we can very clearly see that it is absolutely, positively a tree.
46
Right?
47
That's very clear to us.
48
This is a painting of a tree.
49
Lucky for us, Mondrian actually loved painting trees and he kept painting them as his style evolved.
50
Now this painting is from 1911.
51
It's about a year later and at this point we can tell he's interested in simplifying the forms.
52
We've stripped all the color out so we're only working in black and white and we're down to the most basic shapes.
53
You can look at this painting and probably still come to the conclusion that it is a tree, but it's getting a little bit more abstract.
54
Now in 1912, one year later, we get this painting.
55
Would anyone like to guess what this is a painting of?
56
If you said a tree, you win.
57
I think you probably get it at this point.
58
Mondrian is essentially playing a years -long game of artistic telephone with himself.
59
He's painting the same subject over and over and over
60
and over again until it's stripped down to its absolute most basic form.
61
Until in 1929 his paintings start to look like this.
62
The least interesting critique that you can make of a piece of art is, I could have painted that.
63
Because we don't really care if you could have painted it.
64
That's not even really the question.
65
The question is, would you have painted that?
66
And every single time, every piece of artwork, the answer is no. You wouldn't have painted that.
67
And you didn't paint that, because you're not Mondrian.
68
You didn't grow up where he grew up, you didn't hear all the songs that he heard, you didn't see the trees that he saw.
69
You have lived an equally valuable but very different life up to this point, so your painting would have been different.
70
But While you couldn't have painted this, you could have painted something.
71
And that brings me to my other issue with this phrase.
72
Let's all picture our mutual hypothetical friend, Regular Joe.
73
We love Regular Joe.
74
He's walking into an art museum.
75
He would not describe himself as a creative or an artistic person.
76
In fact, Regular Joe is probably the type of guy where if he sees someone out in the wild drawing, painting, doing a wonderful job,
77
he gets in real close and he looks over their shoulder and he goes, I can't even draw a stick figure.
78
He loves seeing it.
79
He's that guy.
80
He's that guy.
81
But we love him.
82
He's our best friend.
83
Regular Joe's in this museum.
84
He's walking around.
85
He's looking at a piece of abstract art.
86
Lots of people gathered around.
87
People are oohing.
88
People are aahing.
89
They're taking pictures.
90
It's very famous, supposedly.
91
And Regular Joe sees it and he says, oh, come on.
92
I could have painted that.
93
What Regular Joe is really saying is if he of all people has the skills necessary to replicate this very famous artwork,
94
then this very famous artwork must not be worth anything, right?
95
If regular Joe can do it, it's meaningless. That is where regular
96
Joe is wrong.
97
If you are alive, and I'm assuming you are because you're watching this, you have artistic value.
98
Every single one of you watching this and every single one of you not watching it, could call yourself an artist today and be absolutely correct.
99
You don't need a degree.
100
You don't need any awards.
101
You don't need an exhibit in a museum.
102
If you are a human being who has put anything out into the world that was not there before, congratulations!
103
You have made art.
104
Art is a pre -programmed universal language.
105
You don't have to earn it.
106
So the fact
107
that you could make a piece of art just as easily as some famous artist could make a piece of art
108
doesn't really make either piece better or worse.
109
The only information that that tells us is that both of you are people.
110
And we already kind of assumed that.
111
So saying I could have painted that isn't even a critique on whatever artwork you happen to be unimpressed by.
112
It's just a criticism of yourself.
113
And an unnecessary one at that.
114
We're living in a world right now where AI art is becoming more and more prevalent.
115
I know you've seen it.
116
I've seen it.
117
Your grandparents on Facebook posting pictures of like Jesus made out of shrimp.
118
Yeah.
119
It's dark.
120
We're being encouraged to abandon our natural creativity in the name of convenience, and doing this disregards the only,
121
only prerequisite for something to be considered art and that is life.
122
The point of this video is not to force you into liking abstract art if it's not your thing.
123
I'm not even the world's biggest abstract art fan.
124
To be honest, I like a broad range of artwork, okay?
125
As long as it's made by people or animals or trees.
126
You guys ever seen that?
127
Just not AI.
128
My hope is that you can look at a piece of art, even a piece of art that you really hate and still know
129
that it's art and the reason
130
that you hate it should never ever be I could have painted that because that's not a very good reason
131
so the next time you see something and you think I could have made
132
that you should probably just go make something thank you guys
133
so much for watching this is your prize for making
134
it to the end of the video I would love to hear any thoughts
135
that you have down in the comments
136
they don't even have to be art related it can be about anything
137
we have lots of interests over here on the channel
138
and speaking of this channel if you enjoyed this video I would love
139
if you subscribed because we're kind of brand new and we're just getting started so see you next time

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
