Oil paint발음듣기

(piano playing) Narrator: I think sometimes when we're talking about our history, we forget that the people who are making this are really artists.발음듣기

So, it's really important to have a sense of what this material feels like and why people used it.발음듣기

What we have up on the screen is a San Cassiano altarpiece painting by Giovanni Bellini who is known for this vivid color and very complex, sort of atmospheres, glorious luminosity in his paintings.발음듣기

In fact, he used oil paint in a really interesting way.발음듣기

Oil paint has a kind of translucency and he really used that to advantage, but in a way that modern painters don't generally.발음듣기

Female: Can you explain what that means? Translucency?발음듣기

Narrator: What is oil paint?발음듣기

Isaac, when you paint, you don't go and grind your minerals and add linseed oil to it, do you?발음듣기

Isaac: No, not at all. But that's what they would have done in the time of Bellini.발음듣기

Narrator: How does he get this kind of jewel like color?발음듣기

That's something that we might have expected to see in northern painting in the 15th century.발음듣기

Isaac: Well, it comes from northern painting.발음듣기

Oil paint have different consistencies depending on what varnish you use with them.발음듣기

If you use dammar resin with them.발음듣기

Dammar resin is just a natural tree sap.발음듣기

It looks just like amber. It's like a jewel and what you do is dissolve this into turpentine and then mix it with the oil paint in order to make these transparent glass-like, they're just panes of paint.발음듣기

They're almost like stained glass layers of translucent paint.발음듣기

Narrator: So, when the light hits this, the light is not hitting just the top surface of the canvas and the paint on the canvas.발음듣기

It's not sort of an opaque layer.발음듣기

What you're saying is that light is actually entering in, almost like a prism.발음듣기

Isaac: The light can enter through all of them and go to the white surface before it reflects back.발음듣기

So, they seem to glow from the inside.발음듣기

Narrator: So, that really is like a gem.발음듣기

That's really what happens when you look at a diamond.발음듣기

Light is entering. It's bouncing around inside before it finally comes back out again.발음듣기

Isaac: Yeah.발음듣기

Female: So, I think a lot of people have this idea of oil paint as being kind of a thick and gooey substance,발음듣기

but the way that you're talking about it with Renaissance artists applying thin glazes of color and many layers of that, it's a very, very different idea of oil paint application.발음듣기

It's not thick gooey-ness, but a rather thin layers of it. Is that right?발음듣기

Narrator: That makes sense to me.발음듣기

And so that means that when Bellini was painting this, he must have been painting ...발음듣기

Let's, for instance, if you look at that brilliant blue of the Virgin Mary's dress, it wouldn't have been that blue on his brush.발음듣기

It would have been that blue very, very thinned out.발음듣기

Female: Does anyone know how many layers they applied?발음듣기

Narrator: Well, I've heard in the dozens.발음듣기

Female: Really?발음듣기

Narrator: Yeah.발음듣기

Female: The paint had to dry in between each layer completely, right?발음듣기

Narrator: Right.발음듣기

Isaac: But what dammar does, is dammar speeds up the drying a little bit.발음듣기

Female: Oh. So, how long would it take a layer to dry normally?발음듣기

Narrator: Well, it depends on how much ...발음듣기

Female: Humidity is in the air?발음듣기

Narrator: And how much oil there is.발음듣기

I mean, there are those stories of very heavily built up canvases by Van Gogh.발음듣기

You have a skin that is dry, but inside there's probably still some viscosity.발음듣기

Female: Uh-huh.발음듣기

Narrator: So, this luminosity, this brilliance of color is a really important characteristic of oil paint,발음듣기

but there's another important characteristic of oil paint which really differentiates it from tempera before it, which is that if you're not using the dammar that the oil would have this really sort of wonderful liquid quality.발음듣기

And it allows for the paint to come off the brush in a very long stroke and it allows for the paint to be mixed on the canvas as opposed to just on the palette.발음듣기

This is Turner's Rain Steam Speed, The Great Western Railway.발음듣기

Female: So, you think Turner is actually mixing the paints on the canvas?발음듣기

Narrator: Oh, that's a tough one. I don't know exactly.발음듣기

Isaac: I think so.발음듣기

Yeah. I would build on what you said about oils.발음듣기

This tempera is relatively flat, as is acrylic and, sort of, the best tempera I think of is Botticelli's work where it's very linear and all the colors form these flat, kind of, interlaced lines.발음듣기

Female: Like hatching? Where it's like you're hatching.발음듣기

Isaac: Yeah, like hatching.발음듣기

The basic unit of the painting is line, but in oils the basic unit is surface or atmosphere.발음듣기

It becomes infinitely more complex.발음듣기

One color can penetrate another and just by working with two colors you can get an infinite array of colors.발음듣기

My position, I guess, on Turner, knowing the rapidity of his pace is that with this painting,발음듣기

yeah, he probably let the colors be alive and mix them on top of each other and allow them to penetrate each other and emerge and sink down beneath one another.발음듣기

Narrator: That sounds so much more as if the process of painting exists in this direct confrontation of the artist and the canvas as opposed to something that's much more premeditated, much more sort of worked out and more completely preconceived.발음듣기

What I'm thinking about is here we have a much more modest canvas and I'm wondering ...발음듣기

Isaac: Right.발음듣기

Narrator: ... how much of a role media played ...발음듣기

Female: Yes.발음듣기

Narrator: ... in the development of modernism as an aesthetic.발음듣기

In this canvas we have this ...발음듣기

We have a painting that was criticized.발음듣기

A perfect exemplar of modernity ripping through what have been a pastoral landscape.발음듣기

Female: So, what comes first though?발음듣기

There's a kind of individualist part of the, kind of, romantic sensibility at this birth of modernism, but it does fit so perfectly with the medium of oil paint and oil paint fits well in other ways with modernism, right?발음듣기

It's something that can go on wooden panels or on canvas.발음듣기

It can be bought and sold and moved around and treated as private property.발음듣기

There's so many things about oil paint that allow for this development of modernism in a way.발음듣기

Narrator: It's true.발음듣기

Even the heroism of paint, and that's something I think is worth touching on.발음듣기

The idea of this extraordinary, sort of, expressive brush stroke.발음듣기

Female: Right.발음듣기

Narrator: I'm thinking about the work of Velasquez.발음듣기

There's a kind of heroism in there that I think becomes very much rooted in this notion of the individual.발음듣기

Female: And it's kind of virtuosity ...발음듣기

Narrator: Absolutely.발음듣기

Female: ... that one can show off with the brush.발음듣기

Isaac: You know, oil paint is the most historical medium.발음듣기

It's the medium of modernity and I've never found myself able to use, what for some reason, the bias in my mind from my education considered weaker media.발음듣기

My latest thing is to paint with water colors.발음듣기

Female: The weakest medium?발음듣기

Isaac: Yeah. The associations of being feminine and delicate.발음듣기

Female: Yeah, women painted in water color.발음듣기

Isaac: Yeah.발음듣기

Female: As amateurs, so I can't take it as something that serious artists do.발음듣기

Isaac: Yeah, but now I'm kind of interested in those issues.발음듣기

Like, why are the materials so gender-ed?발음듣기

Narrator: Material is really sort of critical.발음듣기

It doesn't only allow us to create a work of art, but it absolutely informs what that work of art means. (piano playing)발음듣기
