From Jan 2024. Dive into the provocative world of artistic "theft" as Ty and Nathan explore how creative innovation truly emerges from our influences. This conversation challenges the myth of pure originality, arguing instead that the greatest artists throughout history have been masterful collectors and transformers of ideas.Beginning with Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto's transformative quote—"Start copying what you love... at the end of the copy you will find yourself"—the duo examines how creative development flourishes through strategic borrowing. From Quentin Tarantino's open acknowledgment of film references to David Bowie's musical influences, the most distinctive voices often emerge from those who've absorbed the most diverse inspirations.They unpack wisdom from creative legends including Jim Jarmusch, Paul Schrader, and Jean-Luc Godard, who all emphasize that true originality lies not in where you take ideas from, but where you take them to. Art movements throughout history—from Impressionism to Abstract Expressionism—evolved through artists stealing ideas from each other while working side by side, proving that innovation rarely emerges in isolation.What distinguishes mere imitation from transformative theft? When does copying become finding your voice? The conversation offers practical advice for artists at every stage: diversify your influences, document what moves you and why, maintain an "omnivorous" approach to inspiration, and create systems to capture ideas when they strike. Ultimately, the episode makes a compelling case that the most authentic artistic expression comes not from avoiding influence, but from embracing it wholeheartedly.Follow us on Instagram @ty_nathan_clark and @nathanturborg to continue exploring how creative influences shape artistic development.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Known for her minimalist grids and soft color bands, she crafted paintings that evoke pure calm and joy, all while living in near-total solitude in the New Mexico desert. Martin's life is as intriguing as her art—she left the bustling New York art scene at the peak of her career to follow a deeply personal path. Though she struggled with mental health challenges, her discipline and commitment to simplicity made her a ‘desert mystic' of the art world. Her story is one of resilience, solitude, and visionary work. Discover her life and legacy on episode 24 of the podcast. About Michelle & EllenWe take a curious and open-minded approach to the work that we do. We ask a lot of questions and have an affinity for both referencing the past and co-creating the future. We value our clients, their trust and their brands over everything. Relationships above all else. Our work is far beyond transactional and the connections that we create with the people we work with usually far out-live the span of the project. We have a lot of repeat clients and we take that as the highest compliment. We don't believe that cold + pixel perfection equals luxury and we ardently swear by moments of wabi sabi and human-ness as drivers of resonance.

Along with our client work we have a tightly edited resource shop for fellow designers. We believe that a rising tide lifts all boats and anything we learn the hard way on this journey we happily share with others.Follow Nature:Instagram: @hellowearenatureWebsite: by-nature.co  ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

Francine Tint In the Studio Over more than five decades, Francine Tint has created a remarkable body of work. Her paintings display an exhilarating freedom of execution combined with an original and frequently surprising color sensibility, varying in size from 10 inches to nearly 20 feet. Her brushwork ranges from languorous and undulating swaths of paint to aggressive and agitated gestures. Her works speak of a powerful and unwavering commitment to the visual and emotional vocabulary of abstract painting, and they embody the artist's personal and deeply held belief in the power of intuitive creation. ​ Tint's direct heritage may be traced to Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting. Her admiration for those artists is enormous, but she also reaches more deeply into art history. Artists who are touchstones for Tint include Édouard Manet, Francisco Goya, Pompeian frescoes from the Roman Empire, and especially J.M.W Turner for his reliance on inspiration and radical painting techniques. She is particularly fond of 16th-century Mannerist painters; Jacopo Pontormo's idiosyncratic colors and anatomical and spatial distortions fascinate Tint. She also has a deep interest in Asian brush paintings. Recently, Tint has been mining her books on paleolithic cave paintings where she is captivated by their creators' profound identification with the animals they depicted, an identification which extends to handprints stenciled directly onto the cave walls. She is reminded of the foot and handprints that appear in her paintings. ​ Tint's work has been exhibited in over thirty solo shows in the United States and Europe, and is in the permanent collections of numerous museums including the Clement Greenberg collection at the Portland Art Museum and the Krannert Art Museum in Chicago. Her work is in private and corporate collections including Pepsi Co. and Mount Sinai Hospital. Francine Tint, Golden Flutter, 2024, Acrylic on canvas, 54 X 39 in.

How do Genesis chapters 1:26-29 & 2 - affirm the work of the human? What does it mean for humans to "subdue the earth" and "have dominion" as part of their work? How should Christians balance work and rest in their lives? Dr. Sarah Maple is a distinguished theologian and painter with advanced degrees in Ethics, Comparative Religious Studies, and Theological Studies from Drew University and the Pontifical John Paul II Institute, and she completed her Ph.D. at the University of St. Andrews, with joint supervision from the University of Oxford. Her work explores the intersection of beauty, sexual ethics, and Modern Art, particularly through the lens of John Paul II's theology of the body and Abstract Expressionism. Dr. Maple has published widely on topics such as marriage, liturgy, and Catholic imagination in renowned journals and has lectured at prestigious institutions including Oxford, Princeton, and Notre Dame. She has been awarded research fellowships from Oxford and The Russell Kirk Center and currently teaches Theology at Mount Saint Mary College, while mentoring emerging artists through The Given Institute.

In this thought-provoking episode of Exploring Art Podcast, host Emily and panelists Bianca and Anthony delve into the complexities of collaboration and the nature of art through Robert Rauschenberg's iconic work, Erased de Kooning Drawing. They explore the cultural context of the late 1950s New York art scene, highlighting the tension between Abstract Expressionism and Rauschenberg's Neo-Dada approach. The discussion covers Rauschenberg's bold decision to erase a drawing by established artist Willem de Kooning, raising philosophical questions about authorship, value, and creation. 

In 1924 a young Armenian painter changed his name and moved to New York. Arshile Gorky: New York City, features paintings and drawings never seen before by a seminal artist of Abstract Expressionism. The exhibit is on view today through November 2, and Saskia Spender, president of the Arshile Gorky Foundation and Cosima Spender, director, producer, and writer of the documentary, "Without Gorky," discuss the show and the legacy of Gorky's work.

When embarking on your mokuhanga journey, whether through making or collecting, one name stands out above the rest: (pause) Yoshida. The Yoshida family of artists have helped create some of the most important and exciting mokuhanga prints of the last 100 years. Their designs, techniques, and marketing transformed the perception of prints in Japan and around the world.   I speak with Dr. Monika Hinkel, Lecturer in the Arts of East Asia at SOAS (the School of Oriental and African Studies) at the University of London and an Academic Member of the Japan Research Centre. Dr. Hinkel is also the curator of the current exhibtion (at the time of recording)  about the Yoshida family of artists, titled Yoshida: Three Generations of Printmaking, being held at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London, England.   Dr. Hinkel joins me to discuss the Yoshida family, from Hiroshi to Ayomi, the exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery—the first of its kind in the United Kingdom—the Yoshida family's history, and their impact on the global art community.   Please follow The Unfinished Print and my own mokuhanga work on Instagram @andrezadoroznyprints or email me at theunfinishedprint@gmail.com  Notes: may contain a hyperlink.

Print publishers are given if known. Dulwich Picture Gallery - located in London, England the Dulwich Picture Gallery is the worlds first public "purpose-built" public art gallery founded in 1811.  Robert Rauschenberg (1925–2008) - was an American artist known for his innovative and boundary-defying work that blurred the lines between painting, sculpture, and everyday life. Emerging in the 1950s, Rauschenberg challenged the conventions of traditional art with his "Combines," a series of works that incorporated found objects, photographs, and non-traditional materials into paintings, creating dynamic, multi-dimensional pieces. Characterized by a spirit of experimentation and a desire to break down the distinctions between art and the real world, Rauschenberg played a crucial role in the transition from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art. Charlene (1954) mixed media Pop Art - was an art movement from the 1950s and 1960s that incorporated imagery from popular culture, such as advertising, comic books, and consumer goods. It challenged traditional art by blurring the lines between high art and everyday life. Key figures like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein used bold colors and familiar icons to both celebrate and critique consumer culture, making Pop Art one of the most influential movements in modern art. Yoshida: Three Generations of Japanese Printmakers - is the current exhibition at the Dulwich Picture Gallery from June 19, 2024 -  November 3, 2024.  Yoshida Hiroshi (1876-1950) - a watercolorist, oil painter, and woodblock printmaker. Is associated with the resurgence of the woodblock print in Japan, and in the West. It was his early relationship with Watanabe Shōzaburō, having his first seven prints printed by the Shōzaburō atelier. This experience made Hiroshi believe that he could hire his own carvers and printers and produce woodblock prints, which he did in 1925.  Kumoi Cherry Tree 23" x 29 1/8 " (1926) Yoshida Fujio (1887-1997) - the wife of Hiroshi Yoshida and the mother of Tōshi Yoshida (1911-1995) and Hodaka Yoshida. Fujio was so much more than a mother and wife. She had a long and storied career as a painter and printmaker. Fujio's work used her travels and personal experiences to make her work. Subjects such as Japan during The Pacific War, abstraction, portraits, landscapes, still life, and nature were some of her themes. Her painting mediums were watercolour and oil. Her print work was designed by her and carved by Fujio.  Flower - B (1954) 15 3/4" x 10 5/8" Yoshida Tōshi (1911-1995) - was the second child of Hiroshi Yoshida and Fujio Yoshida, although the first to survive childhood. Beginning with oil paintings and then apprenticing under his father with woodblock cutting. By 1940 Tōshi started to make his mokuhanga. After his father's death in 1950, Tōshi began to experiment with abstract works and travel to the United States. Later travels to Africa evolved his prints, inspiring Tōshi with the world he experienced as his work focused on animals and nature.  American Girl A (1954) 15 7/8" x 11 1/8" Yoshida Chizuko (1924-2017) - was the wife of painter and printmaker Hodaka Yoshida. Beginning as an abstract painter, Chizuko, after a meeting with sōsaku hanga printmaker Onchi Kōshirō (1891-1955), Chizuko became interested in printmaking. Chizuko enjoyed the abstraction of art, and this was her central theme of expression. Like all Yoshida artists, travel greatly inspired Chizuko's work. She incorporated the colours and flavours of the world into her prints. Jazz (1953) 15 3/4" x 11" Yoshida Hodaka (1926-1995) - was the second son of woodblock printmaker and designer Hiroshi Yoshida (1876-1950). Hodaka Yoshida's work was abstract, beginning with painting and evolving into printmaking. His inspirations varied as his career continued throughout his life, but Hodaka Yoshida's work generally focused on nature, "primitive" art, Buddhism, the elements, and landscapes. Hodaka Yoshida's print work used woodcut, photo etching, collage, and lithography, collaborating with many of these mediums and making original and fantastic works. Outside of prints Hodaka Yoshida also painted and created sculptures. Abstract (1958) 11" x 15 7/8" Yoshida Ayomi - is the daughter of Chizuko and Hodaka Yoshida. She is a visual artist who works in mokuhanga, installations and commercial design. Ayomi's subject matter is colour, lines, water, and shape. Ayomi's lecture referred to by Jeannie at PAM can be found here. She teaches printmaking and art. You can find more info here.  Spring Rain (2018) woodblock installation  Kawase Hasui (1883-1957), a designer of more than six hundred woodblock prints, is one of the most famous artists of the shin-hanga movement of the early twentieth century. Hasui began his career under the guidance of Kaburaki Kiyokata (1878-1971), joining several artistic societies early on. However, it wasn't until he joined the Watanabe atelier in 1918 that he began to gain significant recognition. Watanabe Shōzaburō (1885-1962) commissioned Hasui to design landscapes of the Japanese countryside, small towns, and scenes of everyday life. Hasui also worked closely with the carvers and printers to achieve the precise quality he envisioned for his prints. Spring Rain at Sakurada Gate (1952) 10 3/8" x 15 3/8" Shōzaburō Watanabe (1885-1962) - was one of the most important print publishers in Japan in the early 20th Century. His business acumen and desire to preserve the ukiyo-e tradition were incredibly influential for the artists and collectors in Japan and those around the world. Watanabe influenced other publishers, but his work in the genre is unparalleled. The shin-hanga (new print) movement is Watanabe's, collecting some of the best printers, carvers and designers to work for him. A great article by The Japan Times in 2022 discusses a touring exhibition of Watanabe's work called Shin Hanga: New Prints of Japan, which can be found here.    Impressionism - was an art movement that emerged in France in the late 19th century, characterized by a focus on capturing the fleeting effects of light and color in everyday scenes. Instead of detailed realism, Impressionist artists like Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas used loose brushwork and vibrant colors to convey the atmosphere and momentary impressions of their subjects. This movement broke from traditional art by often painting en plein air (outdoors) and prioritizing personal perception over exact representation, leading to a revolutionary shift in modern art. Wassily Kandinsky (1866–1944) - was a key figure in the development of abstract art, known for using color and form to express emotions and ideas without representational content. His influential writings and innovative approach helped shape modern art, making him a central figure in movements like Expressionism and the Bauhaus. Stars (1938) 13 7/8" x 10 1/4" colour lithograph  Charles Freer (1854–1919) - was an American industrialist and art collector, best known for his significant contributions to the field of art through the establishment of the Freer Gallery of Art. Freer was a wealthy entrepreneur who made his fortune in the railroad industry. In his later years, he became an avid collector of art, particularly Asian art, including Chinese and Japanese ceramics, paintings, and sculptures. Nakagawa Hachiro (1877-1922) - was a close friend of Yoshida Hiroshi and traveled to the United States together for the first time in 1899. He was a yōga painter and showed primarily in Japan. Landcape in The Inland Sea 13.94" x 20.87" colour on watercolour  The Great Kanto Earthquake - struck Japan on September 1, 1923, with a magnitude of approximately 7.9. It devastated the Kanto region, including Tokyo and Yokohama, causing widespread destruction and fires that led to the deaths of over 100,000 people. The earthquake also resulted in significant infrastructure damage, homelessness, and economic disruption. In the aftermath, the disaster prompted major rebuilding efforts and urban planning changes. Additionally, the earthquake led to social and political unrest, including widespread anti-Korean sentiment, as rumors falsely blamed Korean immigrants for the disaster. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) - born in Edo, Hiroshige is famous for his landscape series of that burgeoning city. The most famous series being, One Hundred Famous Views of Edo (1856-1859), and the landcape series, Fifty-Three Stations of the Tōkaidō (1833-1834). His work highlights bokashi, and bright colours.

This site hosts audio only. To see the video of this special episode, please go to, https://youtu.be/8NdUlrhpjHkMarie is an internationally exhibited painter. Her oil paintings address the tension of urban landscape and the natural world. Inspired by frequent walks through various trails and open spaces in California, her work reveals her observations of the changes and dynamics of nature in the face of the ongoing climate crisis. Engaging notions of abstraction, her work references the surrounding landscape using atmospheric color shifts, fragmented imagery and multiple viewpoints to suggest the ideas of flux, change and instability in the environment. Marie taught painting and color theory at CSULB for 30 years, where she developed an Advanced Studies in Color class.June is a recipient of the COLA Fellowship, the Guggenheim and the California Community Foundation, Fellowship for Visual Artists.  June uses abstract painting to explore how color, repetition, movement, and balance can serve as conduits to spiritual contemplation and interpersonal connection to her African-American roots. Exploring the psychological construct of skin color or tone through pattern and abstract painting has proven to be a revealing gesture and these ideas are explored in her two ongoing series: the Energy Wheel Paintings inspired by her meditation practice and her Flag Paintings, which explore the alignment of multiple identities such as race, nationality, gender, or political leanings.  June's public art works include a Venetian glass mosaic at the Metro Pacific Station in Long Beach Influences: Marie has two main influences: first, the New York abstract school where her formalist abstract artist teachers were students of the pivotal figure in Abstract Expressionism, Hans Hoffman. That experience that has always remained with her. Second, were her teachers Elmer Bishoff and Joan Brown at Berkeley, members of the "second generation" of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Marie always loved the California painting of Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud and the landscape expanse.June's influences include Varnette Honeywood, Romare Beardon, Jacob Lawrence, Charles White, David Hockney and Alma Thomas. Another influence was the 1976 LACMA show ‘Two Centuries of Black American Art.' These works had a profound, formative impact upon June. Other inspiration/explorations have drawn from cultural and African American historical references, sacred geometry and very recently, the Benin emblem of the river leaf.Find more information at: www.mariethibeault.com  and www.luisdejesus.com/artists/june-edm 

An interesting short article that uses Futurism, Abstract Expressionism, Neoclassicism as examples of aesthetic acorns that contain metaphysics of political movements, and in doing so are able to draw people who align with such politics.

EPISODE 107 | Traces of Reality: Abstract Art and the CIA (World Is Weird 13) Guest: Mandy Theis, founder and director of the School of Atelier Arts, academic director and professor at the Florence Academy of Art Maybe you've walked into a museum or gallery and seen a big white, blank canvas, or a huge circle, and thought, "So, this is art, eh?". But why is there so much of this abstract stuff around? The answer might be surprising - because the CIA promoted it as part of the Cold War. And then it rather got away from them. Today, the art market is the most unregulated in the world, and aesthetics and skill take a back seat to branding.  Like what we do?

In this episode, we dig into Gerhard Richter's lifetime of painting and his incursions in more conceptual works. We visited his first exhibition at David Zwirner, London, where we discovered drawings, paintings, mirror works and much more. Our research led us to his beginnings in Dresden and Düsseldorf, in post war GDR and Western Germany. What is fascinating is how the photographic image is the guiding light in his relation to trauma, to history, to the present but most of all, to painting. Pop Art, Abstract Expressionism, Duchamp, all had an impact on Richter who nevertheless built his own path in the always menaced painting genre throughout the end of the century. Indeed, how many times was painting declared dead in the 20th century?! Too many to count.We kept our relation to Richter's work personal and fluid (Emily even got to do some reading), as there are so many sources out there for further information, amongst which: the catalogue raisonné published in 2022 by Hatjze Cantz; the Richter Interviews published in 2019 by Heni Publishing; and much more, which you can find here: https://gerhard-richter.com/en/literatureInfo about the exhibition:https://www.davidzwirner.com/exhibitions/2024/gerhard-richterYou can also explore Richter's website:https://gerhard-richter.com/en/Music: Sarturn

Stepping through the doors of the Clyfford Still Museum, I found myself enveloped in the emotional intensity of an artist who revolutionized Abstract Expressionism. On this journey, Ty and I embark on a profound exploration of Clyfford Still's dynamic brushstrokes and vibrant colors that echo his internal struggles and profound emotions. As we navigate Still's decision to resist the commercial art market, we uncover the paradox of how an artist's demand for independence and control over his work can lead to greater public accessibility after his passing—a poignant discussion for artists contending with their legacies today.Amidst the gallery's quiet, our conversation amplifies the raw power of Still's canvases, which continue to command attention and evoke deep responses from viewers. This episode doesn't just honor Still's command over negative space and bold coloration; it's a reflection of my own artistic journey, inspired by his fearless integrity. Ty and I also share the stories behind Still's audacious actions to defend his life's work, including a dramatic confrontation that underscores the rights and respect artists seek when their creations venture into the world.As paintbrushes stroke canvases and colors bleed into one another, imperfection becomes a gateway to authenticity in our final chapter. We celebrate those moments where art's beauty lies in its flaws, and where the courage to be true to one's vision transcends the pursuit of flawlessness. This episode is a tribute to artists like Still, Pollock, and Rothko, whose legacies challenge us to embrace our unique voices and to continue pushing the boundaries of expression, no matter the medium. Join us as we honor the raw intensity and enduring influence of Clyfford Still, whose work remains a testament to the power of authenticity in art.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

Unlock the mysteries of artistic mastery with us, as we celebrate the remarkable Hedda Stern, who brought a revolution to the New York Art School and abstract expressionism. This episode is a treasure chest of insights, drawing from the profound connections between Stern's innovative use of commercial spray paint and her influence on art's major movements. Ty and Nathan bring to light the intertwining of technique, vision, and integrity in creating impactful art, reflecting on the patience and courage necessary to make lasting marks on the canvas of history, and how these virtues are essential to the artist's journey.Embark on a philosophical voyage as they explore the essence of mastery in art, looking through the lens of Michelangelo's work ethic and the role of technique as the bridge between vision and expression. Hear the artists dissect the character-building power of artistic practice and how it enriches our understanding of humanity. They also navigate the choppy waters of integrity in art, contemplating the courage required to commit to growth and truth rather than settling for superficial aesthetics. Through their engaging discourse, Ty and Nathan affirm the importance of continuous evolution in honing one's artistic vision while also discussing quotes from Helen Frankenthaler, Julia Child, Oscar Wilde, Maya Angelou and Picasso. Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

The Bay was painted in 1963 as Frankenthaler had refined her soak and stain process. While Mountains and Sea was made with diluted oil paints, The Bay is acrylic on unprimed canvas. She had found that using acrylics gave her greater control over the viscosity or how fluid the paint was. As I look at The Bay, the title indicates a landscape and the brightness, the organic shapes of blue and green give me a sense of a Bay, but it feels like it is more about a happy, contented sort of tone. There is movement, but it seems gentle like sitting out on a boat drifting in calm waters. The Bay represents a different sort of take on Abstract Expressionism. While many followed Jackson Pollock's and Willem de Kooning's aggressive and agsty style, Helen Frankenthaler's color fields are more gentle and at peace. Her work was a breath of fresh air showing that painting could reduce art to fundamental elements in line with esoteric modernist philosophy and still be beautiful and joyous.  Related episodes: Jackson Pollock Diego Rivera The Bay from 1963 is one of the required artworks for AP Art History.

In a remarkable moment after WWII New York became the centre of the art world, simultaneously seeing the development of new ways of hearing music, and new ways of seeing art. It was here that the American experimental composer Morton Feldman said, “What was great about the fifties is that for one brief moment - maybe, say, six weeks - nobody understood art. That's why it all happened”. The composer Samuel Andreyev shows how composers and artists in New York in this period went about the difficult business of wrestling with a new abstract language, often at great cost to themselves, to produce some of the masterpieces of post war American art. Samuel focuses on the powerfully productive relationships that Feldman had with the abstract expressionists, Philip Guston, and Mark Rothko, who showed him by example how to set his sounds free, in the same way their paintings set colours free. Feldman even called his own compositions, ‘Time Canvasses', where he said, he more or less primed the canvas with an overall hue of music. This is a clue to the unorthodox way Feldman's music - which can be both very long, and almost always very quiet - remarkably blurs what we imagine to be the boundary between music and painting.

Have you ever stood before a work of art, lost in its abstract forms, and felt a story unfolding within you? This episode takes you on a journey into the world of Cy Twombly, where art speaks in hushed tones of history, mythology, and a quest for essence. As we navigate through the intimate chambers of Twombly's mind, we begin to unravel the tapestry of ideas and emotions that his work provokes, from the echoes of his American roots to the whispers of ancient Rome that permeated his life after 1957.Join us as we share candid moments of personal discovery, where my appreciation for the textured and the imperfect collides with Twombly's layered canvases. The discussion traverses the artist's reluctance to offer context, leaving us to wander in the lush mystery of his expression, and challenges us to embrace the silent stories his pieces tell. With each brushstroke and scribble, Twombly invites us into a dialogue, a conversation that thrives in the spaces he claims through his art, leaving a resonance that lingers long after the gallery lights dim.As we wrap up, we reflect on the profound connections we forge with art, be it through cherished heirlooms or the fleeting moments we share with it in a museum. Discovering art becomes akin to a treasure hunt, where the thrill lies in both the anticipation and the unexpected joys. Whether you're whispering to a Twombly or nodding silently to a Joan Mitchell, this episode is an ode to the conversations we hold with art, the questions we ask, and the answers we find within ourselves. So come along, bring your voice to our exchange, and let's explore the narrative that awaits in the next gallery.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

The suit that Rothko's daughter brought against the executors and Marlborough rocked the art world with its shocking revelations of corruption in the international art trade: from the deceptions practiced on Rothko when he was alive to the scandals after his death involving conspiracies and cover-ups, double dealings and betrayals, missing paintings and manipulated markets, phony sales and laundered profits, forgery and fraud. https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-legacy-of-mark-rothko/lee-seldes/9780306807251 MARK ROTHKO Exhibition - Fondation Louis Vuitton The Fondation Louis Vuitton presents the first retrospective in France dedicated to Mark Rothko (1903-1970) since the exhibition held at the Musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris in 1999.

Embark with us on a journey through the innovative mind of Robert Rauschenberg, a beacon of artistic evolution. Our conversation weaves through the narrative of an artist who always moved towards new creative territories. We share personal reflections on how Rauschenberg's philosophy resonates with our artistic endeavors, embracing the beginner's mind and the allure of fresh experiences over the pursuit of mastery. Through his story and our own, we uncover the joy of constant change and the impact of collaborations, such as those Rauschenberg had with Jasper Johns, in shaping an artist's path.As artists, the canvas is merely a starting point; the true art lies in expanding beyond it. This episode delves into the shifting landscapes of art mediums, from sculpture to painting and beyond. We discuss the discipline required to flourish in artistic practice, the openness to new ideas, and the enriching power of diverse interests. Tapping into insights from David Epstein's "Range," we celebrate the generalist's advantage in today's art scene—a world where a wide-ranging palette of experiences can lead to groundbreaking work.Wrapping up, we reflect on how the pressures of the art market intersect with the creative process, comparing the strengths that Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) can bring to an artist's work. We share the importance of continual growth and the exploration of new artistic territories to maintain the spark of joy in our creations. By documenting our artistic processes, we underscore the profound impact of revisiting past works, allowing for a narrative of growth and the embrace of irresistible possibilities that guide us to meaningful evolution in our work. Join us for this homage to the indomitable spirit of artists who, like Rauschenberg, never cease to evolve.Send us a message - we would love to hear from you!Make sure to follow us on Instagram here:@justmakeartpodcast @tynathanclark @nathanterborg

In this episode of the Artist Business Plan we sit down with William Atkinson, to discuss his background in street art and how that influenced his career. Learn about the street artist's voice when you tune into this lovely episode.Guest: Contemporary artist William Atkinson has been creating art for over ten years. Working in his early years as a street artist under a pseudonym, William sought to use his distinctive blend of Abstract Expressionism, Street Art, and Graffiti Assemblage to anonymously create public discourse. While his work naturally transitioned from street art to formal galleries, his art has remained loud and subversive, keeping true to his initial form of expression. After starting his work in the arts, Atkinson founded and operated a gallery and artist incubator in Los Angeles, and later became operations director for two internationally-renowned galleries in New York. Today, Atkinson works out of his studio based in Dallas, Texas where he lives with his wife and child.For more information on applying to Superfine Art Fair as well as recordings of this and all of our past podcasts, just visit www.superfine.world IG: @superfineartfairIG: @william.atkinson.artIf you want to submit a listener question you can email it to joshua@superfine.world for a chance of it being answered by Alex, James, and our guest!Hosted and Executive Produced by James Miille and Alexander MitowExecutive Producer/Producer : Joshua GuicheritWritten by: Joshua Guicherit, Alexander Mitow, and James MiilleAudio Edited by: Christian Parry

The Bay was painted in 1963 as Frankenthaler had refined her soak and stain process. While Mountains and Sea was made with diluted oil paints, The Bay is acrylic on unprimed canvas. She had found that using acrylics gave her greater control over the viscosity or how fluid the paint was. As I look at The Bay, the title indicates a landscape and the brightness, the organic shapes of blue and green give me a sense of a Bay, but it feels like it is more about a happy, contented sort of tone. There is movement, but it seems gentle like sitting out on a boat drifting in calm waters. The Bay represents a different sort of take on Abstract Expressionism. While many followed Jackson Pollock's and Willem de Kooning's aggressive and agsty style, Helen Frankenthaler's color fields are more gentle and at peace. Her work was a breath of fresh air showing that painting could reduce art to fundamental elements in line with esoteric modernist philosophy and still be beautiful and joyous.  Related episodes: Jackson Pollock Diego Rivera The Bay from 1963 is one of the required artworks for AP Art History.

Piotr Rasputin is a trouble starter, punkin' instigator in the danger(ously) illustrated Excalibur #106, “A Portrait of the Artist.” And we're drawing on the artistic insights of one Adam Reck, co-host of the Battle of the Atom podcast, to illuminate the inner beauty and random chaos of these creative choices. Will Adam succinctly explain the unique styles and discursive contexts of Abstract Expressionism? Will Mav measure the distance between Sibera and Ukraine? Will Anna say the word “moist”? Anything can happen when Andrew's away and we've got too much space to play.

Musician, filmmaker, and  wearer of (many) hats Boots Riley has a new series streaming on Amazon Prime Video, called I'm a Virgo. It's as bizarre, serious, and original as his breakout feature, 2018's Sorry to Bother You, a workplace comedy set in a telemarketing office that unfurls as a scathing satire of life under late capitalism. I'm a Virgo is also about the urgent need to redistribute wealth, though it begins as a strange, sweet coming-of-age tale about a 13-foot-tall Black man named Cootie, played by Jharrel Jerome. Having been raised in hiding by his protective aunt and uncle, Cootie stumbles, in the series's opening, into a world of drugs, sex, and radical politics with a ragtag crew of youngsters, navigating an Oakland that is only slightly more dystopian than reality. Riley draws on a wide range of sources, from comic books and superhero movies to T.V. commercials and socialist propaganda, for a tale that is as much a furious critique of the failures of capitalism as it is a rollicking joyride. (There's also cameo from Slavoj Zizek.)  Riey joined us for a wide-ranging conversation that touched on the CIA funding of Abstract Expressionism, the history of the Communist Party of the USA, the Writers Guild of America strike, and the challenge of making politically engaged art in an industry dominated by corporations.

Walter Annenberg Lecture: Jaune Quick-to-See Smith Whitney Museum of American Art May 18, 2023 6:30–7:30 pm For over five decades, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, a citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, has examined and interpreted life in America through Native ideology, focusing on pressing issues of land, racism, and cultural preservation. Her pointed and often humorous works employ a rich visual vocabulary inspired by modern art historical movements like Pop and Abstract Expressionism and potent symbols of her own culture and identity, such as horses, bison, and canoes, to challenge the mainstream narratives and visual languages of American culture. For this program, Smith joins Adam Weinberg, Alice Pratt Brown Director, for a conversation about her life and work. In honor of the late Walter H. Annenberg—philanthropist, patron of the arts, and former ambassador—the Whitney Museum of American Art established the Walter Annenberg Annual Lecture to advance this country's understanding of its art and culture. Support for this lecture and for public programs at the Whitney Museum is provided, in part, by GRoW @ Annenberg, a philanthropic initiative led by Gregory Annenberg Weingarten, Vice President and Director of the Annenberg Foundation, and by members of the Whitney's Education Committee.

Mark Rothko (1903-1970) was at the forefront of a generation of American artists who revolutionized the scene, right down to the way we understand the very essence of the artistic process. Even as he rejected both the label of Abstract Expressionism and even the idea that his paintings were technical masterpieces, he is nonetheless a “key protagonist” of the Abstract Expressionist movement and a fierce advocate for the artist's freedom of expression.

Daniel Neofetou's Rereading Abstract Expressionism, Clement Greenberg and the Cold War (Bloomsbury, 2021) rereads Clement Greenberg's account of Abstract Expressionism through Adorno and Merleau-Ponty in order to contend that Greenberg's criticism in fact testifies to how the movement opposes the ends to which it was deployed in efforts of U.S. imperialism during the Cold War. With reference not only to the most famous artists of the movement, but also female and non-white figures whom Greenberg himself neglected, such as Joan Mitchell and Norman Lewis, it is argued that, far from reinforcing the capitalist status quo, Abstract Expressionism engages corporeal and affective elements of experience dismissed or delegitimated by capitalism, and promises a world which would do justice to them. Kaveh Rafie is a PhD candidate specializing in modern and contemporary art at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His dissertation charts the course of modern art in the late Pahlavi Iran (1941-1979) and explores the extent to which the 1953 coup marks the recuperation of modern art as a viable blueprint for cultural globalization in Iran.

Anyone familiar with Abstract Expressionism will tell you that this art movement was one where all the insiders or practitioners were more closely involved than many other art movements. Such close confines also made for some serious rivalries, too. But there were other artists who were more intimately involved with one another and their artistic process-- they were married, or were lovers. Such is the case with both Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning --both of whom married women who were incredible artists in their own right. Interestingly, and sadly, when these two spouses are mentioned, it's very rare that we are treated to sincere commentary just about their works of art. More often than not, we are, instead, given explanations of how these women measure up to their (admittedly more famous) husbands, and are relegated either to a supporting role, or just plain seen as not good enough in comparison. Why is it that such talented women continue to have their posthumous careers and stories marked and shaped by their husbands?  Please SUBSCRIBE and REVIEW our show on Apple Podcasts and FOLLOW on Spotify Sponsor ArtCurious for as little as $4 on Patreon Instagram / Facebook / YouTube SPONSORS: Lomi: Enjoy $50 off a Lomi Composter by visiting our link and using promo code ARTCURIOUS  Mau: Upgrade your cat furniture stylishly and sustainably at maupets.com.  To advertise on our podcast, please reach out to sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://www.advertisecast.com/ArtCuriousPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Greetings Oddities!    This week i finally take the initial dive deep down the rabbit hole on the history of the Cold War era Congress For Cultural Freedom. Talk about culture creators, and influencers. This group of mostly former Communists, and Trotskyites turned Social Democrats were behind various formed of art, literary works including Expressionist Art, Plays, Concerts, Festivals, Conventions, Movies like Dr. Zhivago, and Books From authors like Arthur Koestler, and Hannah Arendt. Odd Man Out Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/theoddmanout   Thank You For Your Continued Support.   Show Notes They had offices in numerous countries, & high-end magazines as well which featured articles written by authors like Bertrand Russell, & George Orwell. Congress For Cultural Freedom Code Name-QKopera Frances Stonor Saunders https://youtu.be/FYLoyyR1qtI Spawned out of group humanist, & Fabian John Dewey formed In 1939 called the "American Committee for Cultural Freedom” which continued on even after the Congress For Cultural Freedom was formed. Founded: 26 June 1950 Dissolved: 1979 (as International Association for Cultural Freedom) The CIA wanted to influence other parts of the world in order to combat the growing sentiment towards Communism, focusing especially on artists, play-writes, musicians as well as intellectuals. Both of whom they knew would go on to influence many others. Many members were former Communist Party members. Trotskyites specifically who'd turned against Stalin, & his totalitarian measures. Most were not pro-American by any means. They were generally Democratic Socialist types. Like modern Libs, they believed America was backwards, & lacked culture. Quite a few top members were of Eastern European Jewish descent. Obviously, they had no intentions of spreading traditional American rugged individualistic, or patriotic ideology. They were all about "dumbocracy" aka, the Liberal World Order.

Margo is joined by minimalist abstract artist, Anna Macdonald. Anna works in water based media on paper, canvas and wood and her work delves into the importance of negative space and the Zen philosophy "Ma" - the spatial relationship between structural elements. Her paintings and drawings incorporate Shibumi principles; a complex process not evident in the outcome, creating works of unobtrusive beauty. Anna's interpretation of Minimalism also incorporates influences from Abstract Expressionism, mid-century Abstraction and Japanese calligraphy with an inclination towards Constructivism.   Margo and Anna discuss: Her creative path How and why she went from shopaholic to intentionalist Intentionalism versus minimalism and the melding of the two Managing motherhood, a full-time career as a teacher, and her creative entrepreneurial work Her ADHD diagnoses and why she actual feels it's her superpower Her online courses How she teaches others to be intentional in their own creative pursuits Living more meaningfully And more!   Connect with Anna: www.annafmacdonald.com www.instagram.com/annafmacdonaldart www.Facebook.com/annafmacdonaldart  

Before Nita Patel applies a single brushstroke to her paintings, she takes a moment to sit with the canvas and pay close attention to its energetic qualities. She then marks the surface with an infinity symbol, or lemniscate, in an effort to imbue the surface with infinite possibilities for creation and reception. Aesthetically Patel's work shares similarities to the mid 20th century North American movement of Abstract Expressionism.She offers a dynamic contemporary revision of this style that draws from the glistening jewel-toned color palette of our post-digital “lossless” world. Her non-differential treatment of the two-dimensional surface moves with spontaneous gestural brushstrokes and rich, optimistic pigments. Yet, to see Patel's artwork as simply an extension of this earlier art historical canon would be a mistake. Her paintings must be situated within the performative power of the artist's broader social influence as an entrepreneur, author and success coach who provides public education on self-empowerment, personal growth, and mindfulness.In addition to her work as an artist – whose work has been featured in exhibitions throughout the U.S. as well as in London, Paris and Torino, Italy – Nita Patel is also an author, motivational speaker, and success coach. She is the author of “Boss Vibes,” and co-author of a volume of books including “The 13 Steps to Riches,” along with fellow contributors Kevin Harrington of “Shark Tank” and Sharon Lechter of the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” book series. Her combination studio/gallery is located in Richardson, Texas, and it's also often a gathering spot for gatherings for her fellow artists and entrepreneurs. Nita joins Mark Alyn for a chat on this editon of Late Night Health.

Ep.138 features Jerrell Gibbs. His work is often sourced from albums he finds of Black American families in the 70's-90's that capture moments of intimacy, leisure and elegance. Gibbs highlights subtle adornments found in these domestic spaces, which represent cultural symbols in an era where Black folks created beauty with whatever means they had. He leans into a method of painting that supports the duality of Black people who may not have resources, and yet are active in creating world-renowned culture and style that are both beautiful and classic. In Gibbs' work, he asks the viewer to come closer to witness imperfection in brushstroke and color, as well as other artistic choices that seem misaligned. This contrasts to the illusion of a cohesive image that he creates from afar. Gibbs celebrates this dichotomy because it portrays chance as integral to the process of creation, a principle found in the masters of Impressionism, Abstract Expressionism, Divisionism and the abstract movement. Gibbs graduated with an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD in 2020. His work is in the permanent collection of the Columbus Museum of Art, CC Foundation, X Museum, Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Los Angeles Museum of Art. Gibbs is represented by Mariane Ibrahim Gallery.
