A great question. Actually, the rise of self-taught artists is similar to the discovery of all artists. We created a separate video on this topic, so feel free to give it a watch here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vrv3NPw5GeM.html
You can't become an Artist. You are BORN as an Artist it is a way ofliving. There is no education for it. Only for cratsmen. The most 'academics" are craftsman or just psychiatric idiots. ........... real artists are ALWAYS autodidacts.
Absolutely, I was thinking the exact same thing when I was writing this article. Creative minds with a refreshing take on art-a direct result of the absence of formal art training? Possibly!

What I see in this video is that there is room for self though artists like myself. I absolutely Basquiat artwork. However the little of me liking his work. At least the fact that he is self thaugh I can respect. But there is a comment that mentions that there should a video on who found these artists. So we can use this info toward our own careers.

Ontem assistia um filósofo assustado com a capacidade da IA produzir Arte e perdermos o emprego. Boa chance de estudarmos o quanto a Arte reside no apreciador.
I feel like today it is more difficult to be a real self-taught artist and have some recognition in the contemporary art world. Are we lesser artist or "artiste du dimanche" ? I don't think so... But still...
Basquiat should not be on this list. He might have dropped out of art school but he certainly did have an extensive art background, he really knew his art history thanks to his upbringing and was heavily influenced by artists like Twombly and Dubuffet.
That's the thing; self-taught. So he's a great example of a self-taught artist that did not complete formal art training but does have a strong frame of reference when it comes to art. Thank you for tuning in!
that's not true. You can't become an Artist. You are BORN as an Artist it is a way ofliving. There is no education for it. Only for cratsmen. The most 'academics" are craftsman or just psychiatric idiots. ........... real artists are ALWAYS autodidacts.
They are, however the term is used to refer to artists without formal art education. But in the end, we have to figure out our art ourselves. Thank you for tuning in!
Where are today's contemporary artist? Looks like a couple of generations are missing. Seen this list a hundred times at least. Can we get a new list? Did time stop in the art world? Where are Gen X artists and beyond expressing themselves? Art galleries online also feel like libraries Where is the transition? This is Boomer art. All great in its own way
Hi there, thank you for tuning in. Good question, and rightfully so. For our top lists we use an analytical research tool measuring the pertinence of artists in the art world using objective career facts and ranking them accordingly. As a result, longevity is valued strongly, artists with a long-standing track record, hence favoring the slightly older generation of artists. However, half of the list is still active today. And feel free to watch our videos where we showcase young emerging artists. Stay tuned!

Can we get 10 ST artist that are STILL ALIVE and idk have websites I can check out?! But seriously, ones that the bulk of their work is post 2000. Most them people are dead in your video. That’s a page in an art book. I want a living body of work that I could theoretically see their show one day.
Might you explore and make videos around these two truisms: 1. Warhol: "Art is what you can get away with." 2. Picasso said variously that, "Bad" and "lesser artists borrow; great artists' steal..." Similarily, Steve Jobs' version of that statement said "Good artists copy. Great artists steal." Those statements have history and relevance in most creative fields. Frankly, there is more truth than we care to admit in these statements regardless of their attribution. And in the reality that a lot of contemporary and modern art (and their artists) become (in)famous by their tacit compliance, hunger for recognition, acceptance, and greed by conspiring with "art critics" and galleries which, then as now, are pulling off immoral frauds. Thank you. P.S. Indulge me saying that the two self-taught artists utteerly undeserving of inclusion in your list are Yoko Ono and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Their works are shite; their resulting fame due entirely to statement one.
Hi Sebastian, thank you for your comment and sharing your thoughts. I must say I disagree with the overall message of your assessment. It sounds too much like an unlikely conspiracy theory and oversimplification of what we call art politics. The art world is more complex, as is the career path and work of the artists you mention and refer to.
This is ridiculous. In this video we are talking about artists born in the 1930s and 1950s! Of course in their youth the art system was completely different, the Internet had not yet been invented, for example. It would be very interesting to see the career of a self-taught artist under 40.

How is Max Ernst a contemporary artist though? Sorry, but that's where we falter when it comes to attempts to understand the unfolding of art history. The 'contemporary' becomes one of the most abused and misleading concepts in art history, thanks to these kinds of talks... (and I refer to Ernst because I stopped watching once the presentation gets there...).
No wonder most this contemporary "art" sucks. Learn how to do it by those who know then put your individual spin on it. You'll only get one Van Gough out of a hundred.

I'm sorry..but some of these people are not artists in my opinion. Frida Kahlo is an artist. I don't consider Yoko Ono an artist. Cutting off clothing is not art. Art is beauty...it celebrates the human spirit and creativity. Some people you showed on here are not artists...that's just my opinion.
It's so encouraging to know that the only good artist on this list has passed and the rest are total shit. This gives us all a great chance of success.

Apart from the fact that Basquiat has always seemed like a total joke to me, this impression is reinforced when one knows how Basquiat's career began. In the 80s painting was pronounced dead. There was a total lull in the galleries. So the big gallery owners in NY got together and then took a graffiti artist out of the gutter and made him a star with money (investment). That's all. Everyone can read about it and there is nothing ingenious or mystical behind it. Behind it is only financial strategy. So with art, this talentless child painting has absolutely nothing to do.In our modern times, the motto in art is: the more banal, the dumber, the more successful.
Dear Achim, painting was indeed proclaimed dead in the 80s, illustrated by the article by Douglas Crimp "The End of Painting" published in 1981. And that is exactly why Basquiat and consort are so popular, today, and back in the day. The Neo-Expressionists reinvigorated painting and at the root of it were not the galleries making stars out of nobodies just to annoy us-it was the people who enjoyed seeing the lust and sensual qualities of paint.
@@contemporaryartissue Dear CAI, I did not write that they wanted to upset us. You can read that,-I don't remember exactly, but wasn't it Gagossian and other colleagues who went looking? It was not about art or giving color to the world, as you beautifully put it, but only about how to make money. Which makes sense, considering that the galleries were pretty empty at the time, because no one bought paintings. So logically, the childish banal painting is not the background, but it was only to make someone big again, to create a direction to earn money. If that is so honest? Well.
