The New York Academy of Art is a graduate school that combines intensive technical training in the fine arts with active critical discourse. We believe that rigorously trained artists are best able to realize their artistic vision. Academy students are taught traditional methods and techniques and encouraged to use these skills to make vital contemporary art. The Academy serves as a creative and intellectual center for all artists dedicated to highly skilled, conceptually aware figurative and representational art.
This guy is a fun and intelligent speaker. Just the right amount of self- deprivation which is what i’m convinced ( in my own foolish way) is the key component to the quality of “ charm”. 🧐 Anyhow, this came up after a speech he gave in Montreal- which i highly recommend if you like this. This guy has wisdom for/from Life,not just for artists and other crazy people… I sincerely think that there’s something here for everyone. There aren’t a lot of speakers i could listen to twice in a row but he has a particular cadence, rhythm and tone that makes him enjoyable to listen to, like a musician- which coincidentally he just started talking about jazz musicians as i was writing this. I’m gonna listen. Respect to this man; i thought I would hate any art critic🤷🏻… happily surprised. Ty, sir.🙏🏻AC
I just saw her new exhibition at the Broad in LA and loved it. If you have a chance to see it, I highly recommend…her work is a feast for the eyes and the imagination.
The conversation really only starts at 41:26, everything before that could be said by someone else, or simply made into a slideshow of the paintings and their name.
i really enjoyrd this conversation, being an artist in a small town, in my own gallery, I miss the opurtunities of New York. Mickalene Thomas and Jerry Salz are amazing. Fortunatly I agree with her personal motivation! Keep producing such wonderful work.

Jerry Saltz, you and Roberta Smith are about as authentic to art and art criticism as an old Soviet TV game show. You're the old dock parrot who's seen it all from your perch at the intersection of Non-Art Blvd. and Money Laundering St. down at the busy loading docks of art-as-financial-asset, yet you speak to the rest of us about the Art World in smug, self-congratulatory riddles. Does it ever feel bad deep down inside that you're a phony critic in a phony art world, perhaps indeed an underpaid but valuable tool of the rich for screwing the many, a champion of the expensive junk stored underground below sea level in freeports around the world as counterweights to tax liability and stores of value for laundered drug money? What a legacy! This woman is not an artist.

The problem with modern narrative painting is that only the artist knows what it’s about. The majority of viewers can make no sense of the images. It gets worse when a viewer tries to imagine their own narrative. . Narrative art needs a description next to each painting explaining what the hell is happening. At least during the renaissance the literate public knew biblical stories and educated people knew mythology.
Great conversation. Would love to have heard more from Carl Dobsky as I feel he is at the forefront of this kind of work and his images the most powerful
Love the talk on the “Sublime,” but don’t get caught up in the dualistic, bipolar, and bipartisan critiques of art or art-making. Just as “All Art is Contemporary,” all humans are born artists-innate to existence (Osho). 🙏🏼😊
She has done extraordinarily well in her arch of life up until now. I love how optimistic she is about life as a 90 year old artist! Yay! #punkisnotdead ❤
