Sargent's Watercolors: Making the Best of an Emergency 

The Whalens, I don't need to dream It, I lived it for 25 years around the world with projects as big as the Olympics and multiple America s cups. It's my choice to stop and live anonymously.

well ... she said it later on in the video! ;)

Oh snaps have you tried again lately?

Agreed. I appreciate the video and enjoyed it all the same but I dont know why we had to see her talking on half of the screen and little thumbnails of what she is talking about. I would have much rather seen full frames of the artwork and in between maybe shots of the speaker briefly before going right back to up close full frames of the art so I can better appreciate the subject and get a more intimate experience and not feel like I'm in a lecture hall. Either way it's still appreciated!

you need to understand his life to understand his ethics & style of painting

Tony Stencel yeah unfortunately that tends to be a problem with a lot of art historian/ critics, they clearly love art by the commitment to learning how to speak to the public about a subject which tends to elude being put into words but many fall short on how the engage their audience in that they end speaking in monotone without any inflection in their voice escaping any chance to show the public how much they love the art world. It really is unfortunate since most people tend to respond to the overall tone of a speaker rather than the specific points made in the talk especially in these informal talks with the public, most of these educators and teachers would get so much more out of their audience if they would share their own enthusiasm for the subject while speaking. It makes it much easier for the general public to learn how to start to appreciate something which they might not fully understand yet but due to the enthusiasm which should come thru any public talk shows the listener how they can feel about the work and subsequently the subject as a whole. This is why I feel the art world really lacks self awareness on how to speak with the general public. Many people within the art world end up developing toxic attitudes towards the uninitiated which is truly sad as art is something which should help bring us together as people and not be used as tool of oppression and class segregation.i speak from personal experiences within the art world as I myself am an artist and find the current state of affairs within the main art market aka the large galleries/ art institutions i.e. Museums and schools are in a real disarray especially with the rise of "outsider" art and the fact artists no longer need galleries to promote themselves and their work due to the many social media platforms which exist today along with the internet as a whole something which could not have been done just 20 years ago. Cheers

Yah show bobs and vagene baby
