- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- Contemporary works and abstract expressionist masterpieces converge in "Shade," a collaborative presentation by the Denver Art Museum and Clyfford Still Museum that puts paintings by renowned contemporary American artist Mark Bradford in dialogue with work by American painter Clyfford Still.
In Shade, Bradford underscores the legacy of abstract expressionism and explores abstraction’s power to address social and political concerns. The exhibition examines both his and Still’s unique relationship to black in their paintings, whether it’s used to force viewers out of their comfort zones, evoke emotions, or confront conventional notions of race. Bradford reads Still’s relationship with black as an open-ended invitation for dialogue. Bradford says, "For me as an artist, I am much more interested in questions than answers. 'Shade' is simply putting questions into the public domain."
I'm told my work is neo expressionism,I have thought many times that abstract will dominate or convince me to experiment it .I love this great abstract artist.clifford ,simply dared to dare!great work!
best quote is " black, is the, its like voldemort, it will cause you to fail". I could listen to Mark Bradford talk for hours.
YES agreed
Refreshing and inspirational .
Truly lovely work.
Thanks ... wonderful! xx
Wow, just WOW !
Love it!
I think Still painted from the side and left to right, and then turned the painting to the orientation you see on museum walls. The brushstrokes suggest this.
Brilliant artist!!!!
I love your work. Do you have an website I have tons of questions being that I am a new artist
i like when he says "black is.. its like voldemort" lol
Beautiful abstract
hi. Thank you for giving us just a small part of who you are. I know it's impossible to put it all in one video. I am born artist (like you) with some college training . Out of fear of becoming..... my career path too another turn. It never turned off the artist in me. I see color and shape in everything. Have you got any advice.
Anthony, if you wan to be a successful artist: make a commitment to art as one does a marriage or religion. Never ever let one day get away without doing something toward your art. Never ever rely on being "inspired"... Work, work and work. Make a thousand good paintings, document them, then store away 10 and throw away the rest. The do another thousand paintings. Don't wait for opportunity. Make your own opportunity. Take criticism but always make up your own mind and try everything regardless.
Technical question: what is the method of joining the diptychs together?
Screws through the stretcher bars. 2"wood screws, and t-bars. It is very simple.
amazing
Love this.
super art
Son approche de la couleur et de l'utilisation du noir n'est pas sans rappeler Pierre Soulages.
Where's the paintings
@4:21 Shout out to Jagged Edge
Cawstons conifidant
Mark Bradford always looks 32
large paintings always wow people ,a huge stain of paint is more impressive than the same stain on little canvas .I'm not saying that all the large paintings are not good ,I'm saying that even a crap can look cool on a large canvas
Agree. And then there is the issue of needing a proportionately large studio in which to accommodate said canvases, and storage space to store them, not to mention shipping costs. So be a rich artist before you even start? Haha. Many are. Galleries like big work since they can charge more. Bottom line: the amount of high net worth art collectors for these rarefied blue chip art world cognoscenti pieces are vanishingly small and the amount of artists making art are multitudes. As in millions of artists, not enough rich collectors.
Mark Bradford is a savvy guy. The first time I saw him, he was crossing the street at that little Santa Monica airport where they put on those contemporary art fairs, and he really stands out since he’s 6’6” or more, and the ‘Art World’ twenty-five years ago was very white. He has good social skills and knows how to talk to people as you can hear from the video. Like David Hockney, he is astute at marketing himself, although neither would describe themselves in that way. Social skills are vital unless you want to brand yourself as a tortured Van Gogh, but you better be charismatic, young and good looking to try that route, and only if you’re male or a gay female. It’s all about connections, not about the work.
Having said that, Mark Bradford’s work is superb. I’ve always loved it.
More "politics"...the work should simply speak for itself? Bradford's amazing, nonetheless.
And not a single woman artist mentioned ... how can artists also be so blind?
cause they mentioned a movement from the 50, when not too many women were properly trained in modern painting. Not everything is misogyny, Elizabeth...
@@anatoos240 It so subliminal - Helen Frankenthaler - well known great painter - overshadowed by her husband Robert Motherwell. Lee Krasner - ditto - married to Jackson Pollock. Even now these women are airbrushed out of memory.
@@elizabethaspinall6967 they're not "airbrushed out of memory", Krasner just had an exhibition at the Guggenheim and Frankthentaler in both the Tate Modern and the New Britain Museum of American Art - and that is since the start of this year. Simply, there were MANY abstract expressionists, and this video only mentions the main ones. You will notice Adolph Gottlieb, Franz Kline and Kenneth Noland are not mentioned either...
@@anatoos240 in this film, “the main ones” excluded important women - they were some of the “main ones” - as you evidenced.
@@elizabethaspinall6967 yeah, I guess Peggy Guggenheim was just being misogynistic when she picked Pollock over Krasner...
The emperor has no clothes
I see no political content in mark Bradfords collages. Not in his use of materials or compositions. It's a shame he overstresses his political intentions then, as this could be misinterpreted as dishonesty or pretentiousness. Other than that- a decent artist.
You need to borrow Mark's glasses and watch this clip a few more times !!!...did you not witness the clips of historical , racial tension that he drew inspiration from ?? . If you get a chance to view some earlier content on Mark's earlier years ascan artist , you will see that in his work "They're not photographs" !
Mark Bradford is a blue chip million dollar artist who exhibits internationally at tip top galleries and prestigious museums. He is at the top of his game.
Nothing new same old same old give me a break make something no one else ever has meaning style and technique must be super genuine.
Another overrated nonsensical box ticking art fraud .....art history has a way of marginalising such pretentious nonsense
Okay, what art in your world is good?
How can something pretentious be marginalized? You just putting big words together lol very pretentious of you
I would love to be “marginalized” with an exhibition at Hauser and Wirth! You can tell me my work is pretentious nonsense if I’m getting Mark Bradfords accolades, thank you very much. Not to mention his prices on the secondary market.
Very un-interesting, mediocre abstract works. Perhaps if the "artist" concentrated more on the images rather than his own obsession with race, his works would be much more substantial.
Mark Bradford is one of the most famous artists in the world. He shows internationally at Hauser and Wirth and his works are way, way up there. Hauser and Wirth is rated as Number 2 or 3 in the global top galleries next to Gagosian, etc.
