Hardly dull. The greater your personal knowledge base, the more you know what to look for to fill in your own gaps as you connect with another's thinking. He's a visual artist. His thinking process and comparisons were great.
When I visited New York in 1980, found that there was a great divide between England and America. Conceptual art was going down well in England, while in America it was more about Photographic Realism. Since that time , it is possible to see that painting in England has returned to the figurative tradition with the help of David Hockney. It is now skill verses art inventiveness . Critics can reach back in the past for skill, but are not so precise about art inventiveness and the language does not come easy.
This is a REALLY GOOD Op Ed on the state Art criticism and how it might improve. Thankyou David Salle sharing your thoughts. So many comments here are frankly disgusting, Trolling is “so 2019” pearls before swine, thank goodness we’ve moved on…
The passion in an artist doesn’t express itself by imitating nature but by creating like nature does. Van Gogh has been one of the most powerful figure in that respect. Everything else is talk, talk and more talk.
A lot of mumbling and stumbling to say virtually nothing. The type of bull manure that surrounds art and alienates lovers of great imagery. It's either appealing or it isn't. Intellectual snobbery at its finest.
My god this guy is a terrible lecturer. He should try to test it out on someone "critical" before he offers it to others. He's disorganized and scattered. Please, David, read something about "How to Lecture."

Once again The "BIGGEST" ! factor in the price of art often isn't quality, or effort - it's "BRANDING" ! !
Love your work! Great talk also, thanks for doing it for us. Searched your work and loved it!! Your figures is devine!!
This guy...I think so. He is attempting to bring many different elements together in a free and thought provoking way... In my opinion.

Thank you. This is helpful.

David Dial / Dyall / Deeal - who is here talking about at the start? I'd like to see the work
David Diao
An aesthete first, a big intellect, a teacher to me. We should have a fresh loot at his work.

I fell asleep...what did he say?

Are those his works behind him? They don’t look like it.

This guy, I don't think so.

What makes an interesting speaker?? Hard to define..But Salle is RATHER DULL DULL DULL
Don't give up the day job.

Yeah no.
Perhaps practise speaking in public.
