Fantastic! Love this series and especially love this particular interview. It's a pleasure listening to Carl Korsnes put words to complicated phenomena that others would have a hard time explaining. Hoping for many more episodes!
I am a painter writing on Virgil and illustrating my thesis. I would love to speak to Carl Korsnes. I trained at Chelsea, where speaking potatoes were considered paintings. Painting is disastrous at the moment.
Nevertheless self-expression is not the only criterion, but if someone without technique but able to have a recognizable uniqueness ....hasn't he o she done something very valuable from an artistic point of view?, same goes with appreciation of things that might have seemed less "well crafted" but has great non-narrative expression resources, as Cycladic art. Probably the most important thing on art is the sincerity on it, we cannot tell if a painter or sculptor is making artistic decissions rejecting his own ideas, just for fame, belonging or money, but at least, as expectators, we can decide to be sincere with ourselves and decide whether we find something worth a look for honest reasons. We don't always know why something is valuable, and we can change our opinion after a rational explanation by someone informed...But isn't it important that we value our sincere opinion and not be just social lambs? In the Spanish version of Anna Karenina ("La regenta") there is a part where a woman starts praising a xviii century chapel and the husband is ashamed of her because they were supposed to like the barroque Christ, that had more "layers" (the author was being ironic, as the Christ is "smoked" because of the candles), I found there was a great truth hidden in there.
Carl is right, craftsmanship comes first. Storytelling comes later. A writer or orator can tell a story , but here we're thinking about painting and sculpture, mainly painting.
Good interview. Just one question in regards of the house example. ( Just to put in context) Does a good built house makes (necessary) a home? Or a bad built house a place that you cannot call home?. My regards to The Cave Of Apelles
Loved sitting and jotting down random stuff on my notepad while listening to this great interview. Enjoyed it throughout....... ggrreaaat!! Would just like to add that in my opinion James McCanney comes close to topping Aristotle, talking about current era, 21st century physices explained for the layman, weekly podcasts and paidcasts at jmccsci.com
Doesnt matter what the building looks like , the foundation must be solid . Time decides what stands and what falls . If it speaks to the human soul today it always will . The problem is we have forgotten our depths and look at everything from half way up the ladder from a limited perspective. After all Rembrandts prodigal son , could have been painted by two different people and one would dissapear and the other stand the test of time. Painting , is something that cannot be taught , each artist carries it inside themselves. You either hit the human condition or miss , the "style" is merely an ideology nit necessarily the truth!
statement about writing classic with the first draft. And matter of fact that Latino poetry poet ,that is exactly how they write their poetry what is written first is the poetry that is best to be presented there is not a vision
You don't get it do you. They are against the far left destroying art and culture. That does not make them right wing. Besides, being normal and decent nowadays, means right wing to the indoctrinated left.

Craftmanship and narrative resources, great reflections!

Carl! I love following you
Excellent!
Good interview.

Hello Jan-Ove Tuv and the Cave of Apelles. Great videos. Mind letting us know who might be the next speaker?
You want common tropes but not cliches.

Fight the good fight! Don't let it die.
I love this channel! We need more videos. Maybe could Teresa Oaxaca help out?
Thanks, we will take that into consideration.

Guy looks exactly like Podrick from game of thrones
Keep in mind, Aristotle believed that men have more teeth than women.

Poesie and storytelling
Thank you. Until you mentioned Ayn Rand, I was on your side.
The guy on the left is so hot. Please relay that message to him, doing this "for a friend" :D
All painting is an abstraction on reality .. who decides where reality begins and abstravtion ends ?
When the art world wakes up to the fact that Picasso sucks, we can perhaps be put back on track.
Great format, interesting guests, shame about the right wing undercurrents.

It's the best part
