Description
We can all make an impact on the art world, but imagine living long enough to see that impact for yourself. We were lucky enough to speak with 96 year old realist painting legend, Philip Pearlstein. Pearlstein has been part of a significant moment in history, when America took the art world by storm in the 50s and 60s with Abstract Expressionism leading the way.We contemporary artists are now so overly saturated with rapidly evolving and competing mass information, that it is hard to see what even matters these days, let alone think ourselves to be part of an “ art movement”. First, the photograph, Disney, then Google, high speed internet, and now instagram have changed the way we make it, the way we view it and even the way we think about art. We have become obsessed with what it means” says Philip.” But, painting, is a visual experience." Join us, as Marshall and Sophia are re-contextualized in real time with Philip Pearlstein’s magnificent meanderings through the past.Show Notes:0:40 Intro2:28: The beginning 6:20: Drawing lessons in the army9:44: Infantry causality replacements for the Battle of Monte Cassino 16:30: Mercedes Matter’s Sunday drawing class 19:50: Andy Warhol and 15 mins of fame24:20: Will Burtin’s influence34:20: Buck Minster Fuller drawings 38:55: Teaching at Pratt Institute42:50: Willem de Kooning’s secret career46:40: Mondrian’s forces of the rectangles1:01:00: The Alliance of Figurative Art 1:19:15: Martha Mayer Erlebacher 1:23:40: How do you know when a painting is finished?1:28:27: Duplicating vision1:31:42: The history of the art of the human race1:34:18: What makes a great painting?1:37:56: Advice for this generation of figurative painters1:41:46: Advice on starting a new body of paintings1:46:40: End creditsPhilip Pearlstein’s websiteGive us a call on our Art Grind Podcast hotline and tell us what's on your mind! 929-267-4830Support the show
