This video needs to be remastered. The sound is not good, Greenberg had that nasal inarticulate way of talking which makes it very hard to understand him at times. Even the interviewer who’s far more articulate, gets mumbled at times. Greenberg was such a narcissist! His ego so important… “I had said that, I had written that…” Pollock was wrong, easel painting will never die or become obsolete. The ones who become are the idiots who proclaim “death of painting, death of art, death of theater…”… humans will never stop doing what’s deeply within our very essence! Never! Some interesting insights, good material for research but only who doesn’t know what happened would think he was a great visionary. Sure he inspired the dictatorship, the institutionalization of abstract expressionism, conceptual art, minimalism, and for a time it was awful hard to be part of the avant-garde being a painter. As I came to adulthood in the 90s, I was vehemently anti-establishment, reactionary to these much empty philosophical ramblings by conceptual “artists”, to the status quo he and Alloway helped to create… art has to be able to affect us without a word, a paragraph or a book about it, a title even, or it’s something else… a philosophical or literary exercise… I don’t believe in throwing everything someone did away, but Greenberg was a passing shortsighted arrogant man who has totally been outlived. Oh, we’ll see some people trying to redirect him some time from now or a century from here… but it’ll not have the same impact… or at least, I certainly hope so.

❤Sina the option to make like is off.

That was super cool. I made a joke about a 10/10 time signature, and someone told me that's not technically possible, but a 10/4 time signature is, and they linked to this.

Just like Zeus, we kill our fathers.

I have seen things in my life any none of them have made me cry. This was a perfect and clean piano and then you ran your finger through it with you crusty musty dust old and rusty fingers like it was a guitar. I am going to cry. I have lost faith in humanity.☠️☠️☠️

>Proceeds to play a chordophone like a percussion instrument This was stupid and a waste of time

"Breaks the plane" & "It doesn't sit": wish these were explained more.

I like this guy. Thanks for sharing

Murals were the past (Lascaux, Diego Rivera), perhaps they used that reference point to predict the future (street art). Off the easel.

What a load of horseshit

Some pretty stupid comments here. Is it that hard to take a serious person seriously? But it's just youtube. The part about Pollack going beyond the usual body-part usage pins his contribution to art well. Greenberg speaks with soul. Good video.

An evil charlatan, and hypocrite

The way Clement pulls so audibly on those lung darts makes me want to start smoking again.

This is terrible. Sorry, but a 5 year old could do this.

The intro reminds me of the PS3 start up sound

If they ever make a movie about Clement Greenberg, they should get Phil Silvers to play the part.

عالی استاد

Henry Cowell is epic but this is pretty trash.

There is a recorded song with piano string plucking in the intro. "You Still Believe in me" Pet Sounds - Beach Boys.

HI

The critic mixing relationships and money with opinion seems problematic.

I was being? ........ a tie sales man!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil Silver look a like , just a comic!

Thanks for uploading this. I can remember watching this on a Saturday morning in 1982.

So good! Is this a synthetic skin tonbak? Who is the master?

Making it look easy as always Sina! :)

👍👍👍

People are kinda down on Greenberg these days, but for me he does always talk a lot of sense.

This is awful

14:49 THIS is what I wish my non artist friend could understand about art. They always ask, "so i can just scribble and sell it for a million dollars?" No, you can just TELL it's not good.

It sounds cool, but it still scares me a little to see. I just hope that piano is alright.

FAME AT ALMOST ANY COST 💅😷💅😷💅😷💅😷💅😷💅😷 OLD SPLASHES OLD MEN OLD DREAMS NOW DEAD

0:25 horror movies

Thanks for the upload! I've been reading his essays and it's great seeing him speaking!

i dont know piano much but i think dont see the relation with the title...rip waste my quota n time

Destroyed a piano with corrosion for a worthless improvisation - check

What is this garbage... Pretty much taping a banana on a wall and calling it art in piano form..

استاد سینا خسروی ، آفرین .

This was posted on my bday :D

me: what key are you playing in? him: *yes*

I've decided to read more Greenberg after hearing him here. Thank you for the new knowledge..

Rip piano

I loved it

this is a equivalent to a Richard Benson solo

Thank you for posting this!

Amazing number of articulations possible.
