Thanks, everyone, for a great Live Q&A! If we didn’t get to your questions during the live-stream, leave them in the comments below and Corey will address a few in writing or in the next Live Q&A. Also, for those of you in NYC who would like to paint with Corey in person, be sure to check out his class here at the Museum, “The Modern Studio: Pop Art.” There are still a few openings left for the class, so be sure to sign up soon! mo.ma/2EoZFmF
How does a living artist get their works in the MOMA? Some do, correct? So then, what was their path(s)? Has there been any artist alive or deceased that has been self taught that has had their works in MOMA?
Missing Corey’s artist tutorials & Q&A sessions. Requesting the MOMA bring Corey back for more time exploring abstract artists for In The Studio, RU-vid addition, very soon.
It's been a while since the last Q&A and even more since the last "How to Paint Like". Corey is an awesome teacher and for all of us not living in NYC would be very exciting to see some new contents soon. I know it's a lot of work, but it's truly invaluable! Come back to the scene Corey!
I missed the Q&A since I just found out about these videos and I have to say they are absolutely fantastic. Thank‘s for making a lot of the „fuzz“ about certain artists a lot clearer
Thank you Corey ! Always so inspiring and informative,such a pleasure listening to you! Taking the course was one of the highlights in my life and love to come one day and take one of your lessons @MoMA . Meanwhile inpatiently waiting for the next video. Learning so much xxx
this video was not as loud as some of your previous ones. Great session, love learning so much from you! Wish I lived in NY to come to the museum and take classes too.
If you ever do another in the studio about abstract expressionism, or another Q&A, I'd love to learn more about the techniques used by Zao Wou-Ki. His paintings have excellent texture, line work, and color. Seems like he uses any layers of glaze and impasto. In my opinion, he is an excellent gestural painter and somewhat underrated.
Interesting Question and Answer video. Absolutely loved the course ,and your extensive knowledge is astounding! I was struck by the personalities of the artists in the New York School. Both women were said to have mental health problems while two of the men committed suicide and, of course, Pollock seemed to have his own self-sabotaging tendencies. I'm wondering what might have moved them in these directions. I would love to see the work of Richter, Motherwell, F. Klein, and Frankenthaller explored In The Studio. Thank you so much for your exceptionally fascinating treatment of the painters, and for the beautiful recreations of their work you present in the videos.
Thanks for presenting technical aspects of painting it is very useful and you have done a great job in your presentation. Having spent time sharing studios with painters from the abstract expressionist era, I would have appreciated hearing more about their motivations. Possibly money? What is amazing to me is that regardless of what is presented in a painting the viewer always seems to find something in the painting beside a painted object. A mystery to me.
I love the how to paint like.......series. I have no skills, paintbrush, paints or canvas. However, I love watching someone paint and learning the process and thoughts behind their choices. I wish I were an influencer so you would get more views but I hope to continue to make them
Absolutely love the painting in the style of... videos. There are not a lot of musea where I live at the moment so maybe it would be possible to show some footage of the artwork of other artist from the same time period as the artist discussed? And point out why the artist discussed stood out? Some artist suggestions Van Gogh of course and Mondriaan. Thanks again for the inspiring videos.
Hi Corey! I really love your approach on teaching! I bought accidentally preprimed canvas but i want to use it after all. The texture and the quality of the linen is quite good, but I am not satisfied with the priming. What do you think about stretching it primed side backward? So i could make a better quality priming to the raw side. Thank you!
I have fallen for Kyffin Williams. Would like to learn how to do the thick pallet knife style of landscapes... How do you build depth, foreground and background, how do you work with light, how do you focus on a color and work with a bunch of tones of the same color, sweeping with the knife looks fun to create sky and clouds. I like the richness and beauty of the paint itself.
Hi Corey, wonderful videos. Humble but fervent. I'm interested in the way Scottish painter Peter Doig builds layers in his work. Adding linseed oil, you mention, is a way to make a glaze however with the fat over lean principle adhered to, this could make for a very long dry time by layer 4 and onward with the amount of oil added to the pigment. Are there glazing alternatives to linseed oil that could afford a faster dry time? Thoughts on Liquin and fast drying mediums? Looking forward to hear your thoughts.
I've looked into lithography, but still can't fully comprehend it. Or at least, can not comprehend an artist like Alphonse Mucha's work. How did Alphonse do what he did in poster making, in the late 1800's?
Hi, I love your program and the content is so fresh One thing is a bit disruptive - please check the sound next time Was too low and hard to follow Thanks again for your efforts
Greetings from Portugal. I’ve participated in the course edition of March 2017 and enjoyed the practical approach of hands-on-the-job. I keep receiving your news and I’ve just watched your vídeo answering to peers’ questions. As new editions of the course take place it may become a little repetitive for those who have previously engaged. Though I understand that this is a MoMA initiative and the painters adressed are /were US based with their major works exhibited at the museum, it might be interesting to broaden the scope of painters worldwide that may relate (direct or indirectly) to the abstract expressionists and other modernists. Amazing artists not so well known or marketed might be interesting to reveal , i.e Hundertwasser. It might be interesting also to address mixed media and encaustic (as a peer mentioned ), eventually visiting other contemporary artists’ studios who may work on this medium. Thanks for your tutorials and knowledge sharing!
My question about body of work and different abstract artists strategies on it is still not addressed. I have another question now. How to have space in art galleries to get your work displayed is there any procedure to follow? Thanks
I tried doing a kusama painting after watching your video, I used acrylics (chromatic black) to paint the under layer but after it dried there is a white-ish patch in the middle that goes away when I apply a wet coat. Help please!
Hello Professor Corry DA Gustin, Im Homa Hassani, one of your student in Coursera in MoMA, I have some questions about paints and some materials and some chemical things in paints so where can I ask my question and how can I have conversation with you about this?
Hi, Homa. Feel free to drop your questions in the course discussion forums and we will route them to the instructors! www.coursera.org/learn/painting/discussions/forums/BQBZ-DanEeyTcArjghhIVQ
Hi Corey, Thanks for responding. I have a second question: I made an oil painting with many layers, using high -quality paints. But after 6 months I noticed that the paint in some parts (ivory black + Prussian blue) is seen with soft white patches as if it were rusty. Could you help me with this problem?.
Hi Diego, It's hard for me to know exactly what this is without seeing it, but it's possible that there is some local blanching of your paint. Take a little mineral spirits and wet the whitish area-does it disappear while wet? If so, it's a surface disruption that you can help by gently rubbing a bit of dammar in that area. Other possibilities are mold or a waxy efflorescence of your paint. These would be trickier to take care of...good luck! Corey
you say dekooning was one of the best draftsmen of the 20th century (!). really? though his drawings ARE amazing (especially that early portrait of elaine de kooning) it seems like there's very little of his realistic drawings around upon which to base that contention. are you thinking mostly of his pastel works on paper? at the same time, i seem to read critics saying that de kooning wasnt a very good colorist. im always taken aback by this. his colors are fantastic! isn’t that enough? wasn’t there a whole section of his retrospective at the moma where he was "with" matisse, who seems to critically be the god of all colorists? why is matisse considered a better colorist than de kooning? does it have to do with innovation, using color combinations *for the first time*? also: many of de kooning's works say “oil on paper on masonite on wood.” can you describe in practical terms how something like that comes about?
Great!!🎩I am from the Amazon, Brazil and would humbly like to present my video art work. I know MoMA and I know the strength and importance of this great work for humanity, especially now. Manausmacaco 👓
