The Last Painting Anyone Can Make | Scorned by Muses Episode 2 

There are so many channels (some of whom I love) that portray the contemporary art world with an uncritical eye, only showing the "good" from an aesthetic perspective and never diving deep into what makes the works successful, or unsuccessful. I appreciate that there's finally a channel dedicated to contemporary art that is actually willing to offer a real opinion that is well-argued, nuanced, and bold. Wishing you future success with this channel!

Great video. I appreciate your blend of admiration and critique for the shows and artists changing in real time. It all feels very organic and is a refreshing take. Need more!

when some random "jerry guy" whisper you about t.o.a.d medicine, thats the universe giving a great clue

First, I love the video and agree with all of it. It briefly left me wondering whether art of any substance can be made today. The key to making art today is to accept this history of art and its conclusion. Compartmentalize it as a particular project humanity undertook and then step outside of it. It doesn’t encompass all human expression throughout history. People have always made art and always will. It doesn’t need to carry the burden of all our existential questions for the rest of eternity. Artists can simply make work about their lives and the world they inhabit. If they’re really paying attention, the work will speak to larger ideas. Some of the postmodernist and minimalist art is pretentious precisely because it doesn’t do that. When artists try to make art about nothing, they succeed in not creating anything. Pull your head out of your ass and pay attention to what’s around you. The art will come and it will be profound because people will recognize your humanity in it.

Love those David Salle works they feel like images of the world today.

I saw all of these shows too. As you know, David Salle was panned in the 80s but, to be fair, he did make some good work, though I preferred the harder hitting, Eric Fischl. Salle's current work is more saccharine than the old work. Vapid paint handling. Phoned in hastily. Genuinely disingenuous. Yada yada yada. The Reinhardt show was great. I agree with what you said about Serra too.

These are really great! I can’t wait for the next one

Love that Jerry dude

The Salle paintings made me think of what Ivy Haldeman has been doing with her suit and hot dog paintings. But her work is so much more playful and interesting to engage with.

that krebber exhib made me immediately wonder how the gallery is paying the rent

Speaking of starting off with Reinhardt, I can’t recommend enough looking up Brad Holland’s short essay “Express Yourself, It’s Later Than You Think.”

Can you feel the sickness folks?

Subscribed, keep up the great work

great stuff

I like when you speak to me like this

Just discovered and loving this channel. If you really want to impress the nobility at the next opening, Tiravanija is pronounced more like “tiRAvanit”. He ain’t nobody’s hija.

Great work. I appreciate your attitude and the tone of the video. Can't wait for the next one. One thing I am kind of interested in is: Are you familiar with the work of Daniel Richter? He was highly influenced by the group around Kippenberger.

good

A big, promising brain in the service of mid art

Thanks for the nice video.however I attempted to watch while driving a medium drive but was too scared to, only listening instead.

i remember hearing about that a long time ago ( not trying to date myself , but . .). .toad tripping, lick the toad and get super fried

I would love, as an artist, to buy someone else's art studio, to display in my studio, but like, not as my studio, just as art, in the studio

15:11 ❤️

*that buzzing may be frequency interference.

These videos remind me of KIRAC (compliment)

Salamat po

lol 15:12 that's art that's art that's art that's art that's art that's art that's art ... this is also art

does anyone know why art makes me angry?

more videos now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😈😈😈😈😈

ya thanks for laying down, alway hated Salle too hah hah . .but on the positive side, there's something THERE, unlike Hirst

On one hand the average person wants anything to be art and allows for anyone and evryone to be an artist but then when some guy drags in a bag of trash or whatever junk is in his office as the art peice, then hes called lazy, unimaginitive and questioned if he is an artist and if what he does or has on display is actually art. 😂😂😂

it's bufo

great watch. gotta cut it w the nose whistling though.

Perhaps you should remove the Tiravanija association because you clearly missed the point of his work (or his generation's economic reality). I was taking this seriously and found some value in the honest analysis, but the irreverent attitude in the final gallery was unfair to the artist. Maybe take it as an exercise to interpret art you dont care for in good faith rather be immature in the gallery (You probably dont even realize how seamlessly you interacted with the Krebber, even in jest). Also, since you brought up the legacy of these artists who's careers started at the juncture between late/ high modernism and pomo, why didnt you confront their careers? Would it be because all three trajectories would reveal contradictions?

Post Modernism is Boomer Art 😆

drumming is dead

Crap
