Customer Reviews

Be Inspired and Amazed!
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3HKKNII0OH8SR Hearing the numerous internationally recognized artists' ideas and inspirations is extremely moving and motivational. Watching this film will broaden your artistic mind and give you the craving to be creative in a variety of ways. It also gives insight into the artists' complex, talented lives. This film just goes to show that artists come in all different shapes and sizes. If you love traveling, exploration and have appreciation for art, I strongly recommend "Art 21: Art in the Twenty-First Century, Season V." Let's travel the continents together to explore the behind to scenes of who brings art to life!

Maybe the Best Yet
Every DVD from this series has been great. I find I go back to them when I'm stuck in some way. It is like having the best artists drop by your studio to talk about what they are doing. Season 5 as the most current, makes it important to dive into, but I also think it has several of the most important artists from the very end of the 20th Century who point the way to the 21st, and all these artists continue to break new ground. For those who are not artists, but love art, this is a doorway to understanding where art is going next.

I'd give this a -100000000000000 if I could
what a pretentious load of $#!+ !!!
WOW, these people are so great, so important, & so much better than you. It is incredible: the arrogance of these people. They think that the world would stop without them. They are so smart; there is nothing they don't know. They work harder than anyone. They are more imaginative. They immerse themselves in some sort of long-lost aesthetic. "they way I approach photograhpy is spontaneous". well, whooppdy-freaking-doo for you.

I want my money back.

in fact, I think someone owes me a few million dollars for pain & suffering.

I can't stand it. seriously. I'm going to cut these discs into a million pieces throw them into a toilet that has just been used for some #1 & #2 action, & I will call it art & that piece will be featured in the next installment of this series, & they will interview me, & I can talk about how inspired I was & how important I am.
