The Studio, The Painter and The Museum. Fantastic conversation (these types of interviews rarely are). The right two people speaking together; only slightly surprised that one of them doesn't just say it outright at the end - Pictures have agency.
I live near Philly and have been to the art museum a few times, but I would never have known to look through the peepholes in Etant donnes if I hadn't seen this video.
Hi--I have a painting by a 'Murry' and wonder if it was Jesse Murry--I've been baffled since I've had this painting--but now have this lead--but it doesn't seem to be his style--not sure if anyone here could help me identify whose painting it is.
Really nice insight into the how and who of Lisa. Thank you. I personally could do without the embedded toxic 'masculinity', dressed up as 'feminism', framing much of this convo. It trammels over the body of work. Rather poorly. Imo. Lisa is a great artist.
'its a painting', 'its a painting', and then finally 'its a painting, it has its own logic'. yes. i think those viewers understand that figures in paintings can be missing a leg, or be painted green. But I think they are wondering 'what is then the logic behind it?'. Matisse paints the face of a woman green and because of the colors that Matisse is seeing in the flesh, due to the light and reflections in the studio. Cubists dissect the figure but they are doing so because of their ideas about seeing and constructing space in a picture. In the PMA, right around the corner from that voyeur piece, is a Duchamp 'Nude Descending the Staircase' in which the figure is shattered. But for Duchamp, as a cubist/futurist, there is a logic to it that is not simply 'its a painting'.
For the longest time I hated her paintings. I thought they profited off the objectification of women - the fact she’s a women artist means little to me. And then I began to look at the backgrounds, how beautiful and far reaching they are and how impossible they are to look at due to these voluptuous, implausible female bodies in the way. I realized her work speaks to the Achilles heel our desire have, how our mentalities prevent us from perceiving. At the same time these women have lives of their own, they are through our perception of them realized, as well all are. I think she is a brilliant artist, many imitators but no one surpasses her.
Helen did a great job interviewing Lisa. And Lisa is a force of nature who really just inspires authenticity and courage in all of us.
Very interesting conversation, with very equivocal artist.Thank you!
Art is encouragement. Bon courage, luminous Lisa! (And thanks for the quiet Macke moment in the brilliant interview.)
Love it! Fascinating insights into one of the great figurative artists of our time, in a beautifully-crafted video. Thank you!
Love the conversation and learning abut this artist, what freshness and authenticity. Love the bold color!
Your paintings are a great experience thank you both for a wonderful conversation ❤❤

Really insightful. Loved it so much, thanks for this!
Props to the questions formulated! Well articulated and pinpointed in human language! Congrats
This painting in the background... Wow
Inspiringly beautiful feature..
Love how unabashed and blunt she is, she’s a trip and so is her art.

The interviewer sounds like she keeps eating something delicious.
Feast for the eyes
What is a id.? ❤
I was wondering too
