    Sam Gilliam is wonderful to listen to. No platitudes that we are often bombarded with by experts or so called. Sam is talented and confident . Thank you for the interview I will now google more on him.

    I so like and respect this man, this artist. Mr. Sam Gilliam is very real, authentic, so human - the way all people should be. I'm going to look up his life and work as soon as I finish watching this wonderful video. I know that by the time I complete my reading and research, I'm going to absolutely ADMIRE this fantastic human being of a man. A true artist. Thank you for introducing him to me!

    I think he's beautiful and not only do I enjoy his abstraction and use of color, but his innovative creation of draped and "sculpted" canvas.

    …the greatness of the unfinished, in the sense that something can exist, and then it can not exist, and I don’t know if I’m really geared to just painting, and the manifestation of painting - painting through progressing, which has that strong begetting through, education of Giotto, having gone to Giotto’s temple outside of Venice. I’m in love with Tintoretto, not so much his paintings but seeing the flatness of his paintings, looking at a madonna you can feel the splash of the paddles in the canal. - thank you, Sam. What a gift to us

      His art is not political. You only add made up political pretension to your abstract art because it has nothing else going for it apart from being a complete childish mess. If you could actually paint you could create real adult art.

      Sorry to hear this a year later. Rip brother. Your work truly shines far beyond your years and will continue to do so.
      How lucky for us all. Sometimes painting really matters. Andbthat alone makes it a political, and perhaps a spiritual practice.

    I am very attracted to socalled abstract art. I Think its a way of catching the key qualities of the wonder, aliveness and beauty of a moment, a time-space-relation expressed symbolically through color, texture, sensitivity and movement. Its a multidimensional language of the body-mind-heart-world
    Thank you for sharing this wonderfull video 🙏🎵🎶🎵

    • @harima36
      @harima36 2 года назад +1

      i would recommend going out of your way to see some of Sam's work in person. You sound like you really have an appreciation for his painting aesthetic. I was a student of his when i was very young (in the late 1960's) and he was generous and influential to me. He's one of my favorite painters and I wish he were still around to continue following the thread to where his work was leading him. I have closely followed his evolution for 50 years and all of it is exceptional.

    • @rckadlt8
      @rckadlt8 9 месяцев назад

      Those are his paintings rather than draperies. He became famous in the 1960s for taking canvas off the stretchers and hanging, or draping, it. He had one man show at the Museum of Modern Art. He said, "It felt GOOD. I bought myself a new suit that day and wore it to the ooening."

  • @reddotartgalleryoax
    @reddotartgalleryoax 3 года назад +3

    Great interview with the master of Color field and form. I think that what he meant is that “Art is suppose to change...”, change as you see it more clearly, less clearly, with your own current perceptions, prejudices, likes, knowledge, exposure, light, humor, experience, etc. That is why he hangs his work differently every time. also, wd have like for the video to have subtitles as it was difficult to hear what he was saying.
