If somebody had lost their young son going over the top against the machine gun and artillery I think they might see that war as pretty pointless. They might even see it as worse than pointless.

Edna, the best!

Thank you! Love everything about this artist - her attitude, routine, art, studio, style. Really inspiring. 💗

I love her work

… great insights, great studio, great video, great artist!! … 🙏

Fascinating, profound and poetic in her eloquent diction she expresses her thoughts with measured effect . .Her love of best literature and her experience of writing held me in suspense and in appreciation. At the end when answering the question- Why do you write? Edna O'Brien had me feeling what is so often hard to put in words. Her explanation was breathtakingly movingly honest, deeply spiritual and profoundly personal .

Brilliant 👏

I’ve never been envious of anyone but I certainly was of Edna O’Brien not just her ability to write such unique magical tales but the equal talent to convey them in speech. I am certainly not a misogynist but I’m always prone to compare her to one of my favourite actors and life’s characters Richard Harris and trust she would never have hated the comparison stated with sheer admiration. RIP uniquely special Lady.

What a fascinating woman. Loved her. The country girls my first read in the 1970's about her early life in Ireland. I have read it many times and many more of her books. She uses words like an artist paints a picture. A born writer.

What a delight! Thanks for making this available

Just seen this marvellous interview. Edna O’Brien - ❤️

You're right that Germany's “blank check” to Austria was a significant factor in starting the war. Still, Austria was Germany’s only ally, and Berlin couldn't afford to risk losing it. Germany was surrounded by enemies. On one side they had Russia, which everyone expected to become far stronger in two or three years because it was industrializing; and on the other side they had France, their foremost enemy. Most countries in that situation would back their only ally and hope to provoke a war that would block an enemy from getting stronger. Bottom line: I agree that of all the countries, Germany was most to blame for starting the war. Having said that, I think most countries in their situation would've acted the same way.

12:34 "War; and the sooner, the better." Yes, that was Germany's attitude-they felt that if Russia entered the war to help Serbia, Berlin could fight Russia before Moscow got stronger. And it would also boost Germany domestically, which they sorely needed, as you explained. How, then, can you call it reckless of them to give Serbia a blank check and risk war? They wanted war. They felt it was in their interests. If you had said it was foolish for them to think that war would be in their interest, I would have agreed with you. Germany made a calculated yet foolish decision, not a reckless one.

Thank you for your video, I’ve read Stanley Spencer’s biography and never realised the relationship between Dorothy and Patricia. Beautiful paintings

0:35 ‘Unconventional set up’ code for morally deviant behaviour, ‘The beasts of Bloomsbury’ poor Vanessa …

Thank you for those few minutes of peace

Speke was a cad and a bounder to use the terms of their era and i dont think his death was a accident, he took his last uncharted route that day,Death.

I’d never honestly realised the connection with clothes, thank you. I look forward to further insights from you into Charleston/ Bloomsbury 👍

feint audio

The present style is way too upbeat and fast like a BBC travel show. Totally inappropriate for the subject.

Brian was a national treasure! I'm just reading The Outsider books.

Terrible, TERRIBLE pointing behind Julian. Very parvenu.

Sadly missed.

❤

Katy, I suggest less hand/arm waving.

Brilliant book! This exhibition looks great too 😍

Excellent

An increíble inspiración to us all that love reading and learning about past autors and poets. Thank you Edna for amazing interview.

'promosm' 😝

This video is about the dress. Although I can't imagine why. It's ugly, and see-through at 45 second mark. Couldn't afford an editor?

yes do another vid entirely devoted to the pictures without even showing your lovely self

I don’t recall anyone ever denying that they adored Downton Abbey. Such as rude suggestion. Downton was massively popular because people the world over were fixated by it.

Thank you 💜

Great content! Love KH!

Fab!

The camera was on you 90% of the time just talking. The other 10% it’s just B roll footages of you going through the house like in music videos.

With all due respect, K Hessel is so vibrant and delighted, that she quite distracts from the art. But the work is well worth seeing on a second viewing.

literally my favorite video on the internet right now

Very interesting

Self-indulgent ramble. Quite dull. A pity Sewell owed his success to his camp entertainment value rather than any brilliance as an art historian or connoisseur.

The first hipsters

After longing to go there for a very, very long time. My husband took me as surprise 50th birthday present. It was wonderful.

The camera appears to be on you as versus this extraordinary house, somewhat a pity.

this was just lovely

Que pésima la calidad de imágen del video.

Love your enthusiasm. Sadly I didn't visit Charleston to see Nina's work. Have fond memories of her. A fantastic woman, Very spirited and courageous Lady.

Knew Nina well. I lived in Paddington and Nina was alway's at our house. Lucian Freud next door. Hal Wolfe upstairs. The lamplighter Stephen Fothergill too. Very Bohemian and lot's of action.

More Sewell please. Much more.
