LOVE the sobriety with which he talks about his practice. "time to paint more dots, time to not paint dots"-- I appreciate hearing about more spontaneous/channeled practices, makes me feel good about my more improvisational/exploratory way of finding my work
I went to Oak Creek Ranch School just a hike away from Cornville. A lady taught art there named Marsha Foutz. At least that is how I remember her name as this was back in 1990/91. She exposed me and these other "troubled" teens to the Jerome art scene and it was another one of those experiences of youth that don't hit till later. Jerome showed me an entire life that this kid from the south plains of Texas wouldn't have seen for at least another 5years and not understand until....I watched this master of patterns. Thank you for this and a hearty "hell yea" to the artist. Amazing work.
Super articulate and focused work... old age is such a double edge sword.. so much knowledge, experience, knowing oneself mentally.. But the body become older also.
Happened to find the great PARC foundation book on Peter in Flagstaff, loved the work but didn’t buy it, then found it again in Knoxville and bought it. Was shocked he lives in Bisbee, always wanted to visit him and his studio. This popped up at the top of RUclips homepage - thanks for posting it!
He lived in the West Village, NYC in the 60s. Rent was dirt cheap. Made the cover of ARTFORUM when was 29. Solo show at Leo Castelli, 1980, who was the biggest dealer in the world at that time. Basically he was in the right place at the right time with the right stuff.
This is the way I work although my imagery and techniques are totally different, and I custom frame all of my work. So I really appreciate the way Peter's mind works.
Hirst's work looks like a clown costume, literally. That's fitting because he is a clown. He stole and exhibition work from Dali, the maggots eating a cows head.
I know all about how artists have big ego's and how they cherish acclaim and being viewed as unique and original, and even rather crazy. I also know that many artists gradually move towards a micro-focus, presumably to fit the modern view that, to be serious and be taken seriously, an artist needs to focus on one primary vision. The problem I see there is that this micro-maniacal focus usually excludes most of the important attributes of good design and good art. It also becomes a gigantic crutch upon which the artist leans while spending the rest of his life repeating himself. So if the paintings are not good, then we get a whole lifetime of not good paintings! That's what I see here. Paintings that, in the end, are poorly conceived, poorly composed, with a paucity of creative effort, and poorly executed. I would not wish to own one.
Theres one consistency that this man has and its dots, he loves what he does. I suggest being supportive of the general enjoyment of an artist and less critical. Because maybe youre so critical that its tearing away from even your journey of life- let alone others. As an artist support and positive enjoyment isnt a bad thing, thats what life makes beautiful- whats great about this? Instead of - how can i tear this down. This decision alone will change your life if you follow this on a spiritual core level
@@Son.of.4rt Sorry. I worked too hard for so long studying and working in this field, which I won't detail, to throw everything out the window in order to go with "Everyone Gets a Trophy". I suggest that this artist work as hard developing his own skills.
Literally, the MOST interesting part of this video starts at the 7-minute mark - those are fabulous and yet we get NO explanation whatsoever of that process ... are those huge blobs flat or 3-dimensional ... what was the inspiration ... acrylic or oil? How frustrating.
I love your Mandala’s! Beautiful! ❤
Amazing Art! Amazing Man! Right on dude .Thanks for sharing.

I simply need to see more CONGRATULATIONS 😊 Living it!
Beautiful- good for you man
Love the work. I just don't know how an Artist survives doing this kind of art. Especially in the early stage.
He lived in the West Village, NYC in the 60s. Rent was dirt cheap. Made the cover of ARTFORUM when was 29. Solo show at Leo Castelli, 1980, who was the biggest dealer in the world at that time. Basically he was in the right place at the right time with the right stuff.
@@jameswarhol442 Amazing how it worked out for him.
Very nice artist! Good art!❤
Beautiful dots. Great artist.
Although this work may appear simple at first, the artist obviously has a very good eye for color values. Beautiful and interesting!
This is the way I work although my imagery and techniques are totally different, and I custom frame all of my work. So I really appreciate the way Peter's mind works.
wow thanks
Genial video artista obra sutil de maestría .😊
his mandala fold series is my favorite
Years ahead of his time ... Presumably an influence on Damien Hirst ? Fabulous imagery and I love the weaving connection especially x
he passes, he is a good artist, hirst is worse than a fart.
True,he doesn't come close.@@armandogavilan1815

🎉
Bisbee or Jerome we'll all have to check for philedelphia hotel in a desert ghost town. EBabcock
haha... BUSTED Damien Hirst. So busted
exactly !!!

I do--n't understand
To short
This guy looks like Charles Mansons brother.

That's what good art does to the viewer.... beckons you to seek more from the work.
@@cliffdariff74 Uh, I already said they are fabulous but your comment has nothing to do with the fact that this video was not well presented.
Dots... y’all have been fooled. Choose passionate artists not ocd artists.
Nah!
similar to Australian indigenous paintings
You know ? There´s a well prestigious and rich british artist that is copying your work. His name Damien Hirst...
That's what he does......
