I love the idea of the Americas united and regarded to as one as a whole. Also the borderlessness of the cloud and internet, we unite as a species through the aether-as our ancestors always intended for us to do so🤘🏼🧛🏻👾🎆🌠🌄🌌🎶🎼
How wonderful is this! Delighted to hear my Sapphire and Crystals art sister, Younde Olu mentioned. I just shared this podcast with her. I wonder if she’s heard it before. I was just invited to curate an exhibition during Elsdtic Arts AfroFuturist Weekend which begins on September 23, 2024. Love this!
*6:08** Mister McGough made a little mistake... Or he simply did not understand what is written in the New Testament - John 1:1 ... I quote " **_In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God._** " ... Therefore, the word was not before God .. The Word was with God, the word was God...*
I think you're right that the word connoisseurship is generational. It's been replaced with "geek" which is fair. It has also been democratized because now you can be a wine geek or an opera geek. Geek is no longer an insulting term. A geek is just somebody who knows something about something. A dork is still an insulting term and usually it's earned since dorks are almost always rude and mean as well awkward.
I used time to explain connoisseurship to financial people when I temped in their offices by saying it was the difference between investing and trading.
No coverage of The Bellilli Family? It's not Olympia in importance but wow, the tension in that family, the oldere daughter looking to her dad. Her dad being excluded...it's amazing. It was on my bucket list for years and when I went to Paris it was out on loan. I was thrilled to see it in that show.
The originator of this "movement" decided he would choose a male, white artist to denigrate. He was trying to point out the white, male favoritism in the art world when it comes to the classics. He then chose Renoir. His original thought is not without merit. Yet he put the cart before the horse, making his opinion meaningless. And these protestors should really know better than to support someone with an agenda.
What’s is this hatred for a great artist when there are thousands of crazy modern art going for millions. Some may not like his art but lot of people do.
I’m glad the shark work was made but it has not aged well historically. When I look at it I just think of Hurst work as big money art for collectors to buy. No shock value left to it.
