- We visit the artist in upstate New York where she has been working on her latest body of work-a continuation of her Mama series-consisting of automatic drawings and paintings on canvas which reveal her persisting interrogation of line, color and form. #RitaAckermann’s solo exhibition, ‘Mama ‘20’, on view at Hauser & Wirth Zürich from 12 September - 18 December 2020, continues her distinctive approach to painting and the coalescence between the personal and collective experience within.

It's interesting and pathetic how many people feel the need to define and degrade artistic expression. She paints following her instincts, maybe y'all should try it and stop spreading your pointless negativity. Words such as good or bad are irrelevant when it comes to art. Art is about relationality . . . you either relate to it or you don't. What this relationship means to each viewer/participant is personal. Viewing and making art are both acts of care.
Attaching any sort of objectivity to art is ridiculous. A lot of the comments here sound like they come from armchair critics who have this idealized view of what good art is to them even if they are unable to elucidate what it is. It's also amusing how these negative comments, which are not negative as defended by the posters, are passive aggressive. The impressionists and their brood were rejected and laughed at until the tides turned. Even Pollock had his critics and decades later, now that public opinion is overwhelming on his side, these armchair critics say he has merit as if their opinions mattered in the first place. I agree with you that there is no point using the terms good art or bad art even though there are objective methods in making a work become more balanced and pleasing.
A lot of these critics might puke their guts out if they found out how infinitely more commercialized art was in the Renaissance era. Art and money are intertwined. That is the paradox and it won't change anytime soon. How can an artist work without money? Solve that problem and do whatever the hell you want.
I hear people say that all you need is a box to work in but my opinion is that you need a nice large studio space to really be able to create appropriately.
Along with the means to afford it.
.... & more often than not making self indulgent messy paintings
Ah yes human's needs and wants. Just work with all the space you have. Just work with all the materials you got and see where it leads you. Jeeesss... Always complain complain
@@91_gore sounds like you're the one complaining about my statement so you too sir for ma'am are always complaining complaining so take your own advice
cannot agree more. At least our studio in university are literally little cubicles, guess not many are painting but still.. a lifetime of depressing and compressed space def shows in the works.
Such a simple video, but visually powerful and intriguing. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing. That you may keep doing your work and express yourself to your best potential 🙏
Intoxicating art! Spontaneous lines, bursts of colors bobbing somewhere within the music...
I had an apartment all for my self like a studio once!!! And I couldn't paint!!! Took me being homeless living in my car and having the blessings of my ex-wife lettine live with here!!! And some how I painted more than I had ever paint and enjoyed!!! And like a divine girft from the heavens!!! She got pregnant and had the most beautiful creature a have care for to this day.
So you needed life experiences in order to paint.. God bless you.
hands on - love the way she draws!
I love Rita ❤ love from Hungary
Anyone found a link to this song yet? this is it for me
Beautiful artist... would love to get some information on the song playing in the background!
Beautiful studio
Love your work. ❤ Thanks
amazing soul
love love love
What beautiful flower 🔥🔥🔥
I like looking at the figures in her art. I see women and children. 💖
Big studio + esoteric music = Big messy paintings
You forgot the cat
You crack me up! What I took many long paragraphs to say, you said in ONE line!
Looks like this Artist is enjoying the creative process.
More than that I cannot say.
Excelente trabajo felicidades saludos!!!
awesome.. big love from indonesia ☕️👍
i love it, but then again my favorite is Twombly.
btw. I saw some of her early works and she is the master of classical drawing but there will be only people in the comment section who will question expressionist artist about their skills
MASTER?!?! hahaha
Rita is a beautiful child. The practice to understand is an art form just in its self. But to appreciate something when not understood is the true aim for pleasantry. Her forms are worth it imo
Being disciplined as a child. I was made to stand in the corner and all I had to do was turn around.
Nice Work!
Você faz obra- de- arte. seus pais fizeram uma obra- prima!😍😘😚😙😀
lindo
💜💜💜🍾🍾🍾💜💜
There was a time when this person would have been considered mad.
Perhaps you should adopt a different perspective. If someone told you they spoke to god today you would call them mad. When it happened 2,000 years ago, religion was born. Madness is always, it's just how we accept what type of madness is selective currently :)
DEEP
Please wear disposable vinyl gloves, the bad things in the paint will be getting absorbed through your skin which if you are doing it regularly can result in something horrible later on in life. Beautiful expressive paintings with a delicate fragile vibe, an expression of the artist herself.

👍👍👍🙏🙏
Wondering about the song?
what song is this
what is the song in the background?
can we see a finished piece?
Want to talk with this artist...
Oh dear. Lo!
No comment!
songs name please
Impact
Anyone know the music playing? I'd love to look up the singer/band. Thanks.
I'm also curious about this, wish they credited the song somewhere
Can you make out the lyrics? All I could really understand is some version of "Dont look back, Dont come back"?
It’s by Margo Wolf. The song isn’t uploaded online unfortunately yet but it will be.
@@marikanuss9256 thank you! How can I find music by them? The name doesnt bring up any results
@@marikanuss9256 Is there anything else you can tell me about the artist? do they have a website? Instagram? thanks!
Love it. But pretty sure those pigments can be toxic wear a glove!! 😅😭
All you need to be a renounced artist is to convince a rich or influential critic to think it is good.
If you get a chance to speak to one
You are right.... but it is "renowned".
please start doing some art
Looks like the stuff I was knocking out when I was 6.
This looks like trauma mixed wth inner child that never grew events,guess we All are
That will make her sick, using her hands in all that to toxic paint
No, no, no girl, that ain't no way ta do it.
crumbs
me gustan sus pinturas las comparto,pero no piensa que de kooning ya lo hizo todo
There is someone in the shower room..
😅😂🤣
really not fine art kindergartens have more talent
Hamparte
Christ what a lot of slop.
Interesting but omg the music sucks royal
I have seen monkeys in the zoo make more creative art !
haha
What dreadful music. How could anybody work with that horrible droaning.. Why doesn't she have the walls drywalled and painted white.. Why is anybody making figurative paintings in this day and age. Awful
Sa technique est la suivante : mettre un visage possédé tout en détruisant des pinceaux contre une toile. Un grand n'importe quoi !
vous avez raison!
Девушке нужно срочно менять профессию.
🤣
madness and rubbish work.. truly..
I find that most artists working abstractly entirely lack the skills, lack the art historical overview, and totally lack an artistic understanding of this important but generally abused stylistic choice. Almost no artists of any merit have ever produced wothwhile abstract paintings. By and large, it is usually sought by artists as a crutch for those who cannot draw, compose, or paint effectively.
Ackermann can paint figuratively. Just look up her early work, or the early work of any major abstract artist, like Rothko or Pollock.
@@lemonbeans I am extremely familiar with the early works of Rothko and Pollock, and when I said "almost no artists of any merit" I was making allowances for those two artists and a few others. But I do not make similar allowances for Ackerman and am in no way convinced that she has "earned her stripes" by way of justification to broaden into pure abstraction by virtue of prior accumulated abilities. You state that she can paint figuratively, and yet I look at earlier figurative attempts and conclude just the opposite: that she cannot paint figuratively. The whole idea of pure abstraction somehow being more advanced or sophisticated is a misguided premise to begin with. I suggest we drop this because it will lead nowhere. I made my point.
@@KpxUrz5745 You're impugning the character of an artist and by extension thousands of others like her by limiting the definition of good work to whatever doesn't deviate from a pretty specific European model of painting. Nobody is arguing for the privileging of abstraction over representation; your criticism comes off as reactionary. The ceiling of Warhol's technical ability was commercial illustration; Francis Bacon could barely hold a brush and started painting in his 30s. Frankly, I'm not even trying to prove a point because I think the record speaks overwhelming against yours! Look at all the institutions endorsing this artist. Hubris! I'm more concerned that you've robbed yourself of the ability to appreciate the value of anything that isn't prioritizing craft and technical proficiency! Are Julie Andrews and Ariana Grande superior artists to Tom Waits and Bob Dylan because of their wider vocal range? If you'd have said "I prefer representational, technically refined art," that's fine, it's your subjective taste. But you're calling entire movements (excepting a handful of superstars) ignorant and unskilled because their values deviate from yours. Baloney!
That is complete bullish-t. I've spent 35 years painting and drawing things that look like things, and I'm bored with the constraints. Sometimes it's much more exciting to start something and just figure it out as you go, not knowing where you'll end up. The question is, can abstract work evoke an emotional response in the viewer? And if so, it is worth making. Not everyone want to look at portraits and landscapes.
Christ almighty stop arguing about art and go and make some yourself
Enjoyed watching her work, some whiny-ass music in the background tho. To each their own.
Да уж. Это трата денег и времени.Русская школа живописи лучшая. Хотя бы в Хабаровске работы студентов на уровень выше.
It's a good life to be able to smear paints around all day, no wonder everyone wants to be an artist these days. The child from the Emperor's New Clothes would ask, not registering artistry, are we going a bit too far to justify the value of ART? How would audiences from the 23rd century read our spontaneity?
It is the same reason we have so many democrats. Money and opportunity without any work behind it. Soft times create soft people.
Kreativ auf grosse Kohle trainiert...? Klar!!
Just shows how lazy you have to be to be an artist!
No prepation, little thought, little persistence and little direction.
Lazy means unwilling, clearly she is willing, just in her own way that you have judged to be poor. Try not to project your heuristics to all, you will be able to find pleasantness in things rather than anger and jealousy.
@@brandonschachter104 definitely no jealousy. Maybe a little anger, in that I cant find inspirational artists that really wrestle with concept and work hard to to produce masterpiece s rather than splashes and scribbles of laziness on a canvas!
@@terencebarnett9891 Can you give me an example of what you consider to be an inspirational artist and "a masterpiece"?
@@BlazarAzul Turner, Constable, F Bacon, Degas have all proven to produce some great work.
Since the Americans started talking BS about scribbles from Pollock the art world seems filled with lazy artist prepared to talk BS about their scribbled rubbish and splashes of mess.
@@terencebarnett9891 _"...have all proven to produce great work."_
Proven? How?
Aside from your personal distaste or aversion to any splashed, dripped or scribbled way of painting... *_How do you prove, objectively, that Bacon's work is better than Pollock's?_*
Disgusting
Then she went and made a sandwich. Difference?
