I'm thrilled beyond belief that I'm not in this particular art school, having to listen to "professors" like this man Fischl. On the surface he seems like a likable guy, but I'm talking about his paintings and what he doesn't know about making good paintings. I find it rather insufferable in that sense. I was aghast that in this video a comparison was made between Fischl and Thomas Eakins!!! This is absolutely preposterous! Just look at how well Eakins paints, and how well he composes. Now show me just ONE painting where Fischl can do the same! He cannot and never could! Gawd, this is just to hard to swallow that the art world is suffering from such a paucity of talent that we must elevate today's hacks anyway! Do curators, art writers, and Fischl himself really think we are dumb enough to buy these ruses?
The co-curator of the show thinks the painting of the old nudist covering himself is supposed to be a self portrait of Eric in his later years......good job! You are right on top of things! Love all of Eric's work.....especially his beach scenes.
Fischl is not just a great painter. He knows how to tell a story. If you don't get his work it's because you have no idea what it takes to compose a narrative and fucking paint it so well.
His composition style stays fixed from small to large canvas, anybody have an idea how he does that, he retains that certain photoshoppiness, yet he said he doesnt do grids or drawings. Does he draw at all?
This man CAN paint. Its just that figurative folks have that narrow view where ALL the weight is put on, well, the figure. Person equipped with that certain sentimental russian style would not be able to pull off these kind of scenes that Fischl does, without looking somehow too serious and too emotionally shallow. It's not easy portray certain decadent elements without looking like a naive street artist.
that one guy..@ 13:46.....with the red hair and the bag strap across his body, holding a cup of coffee, is so what makes art completely irelevant to so many. He should make a conscious effort to simply shut the fuck up, and then art can return to speaking for itself.

Wow, such a great discussion of his work and process! So cool that they videotaped this so all us RUclips people could magically attend the event..

I love his work! A true modern master....
A true talker.

awesome!... GREAT ARTIST!
great talk and it looks like a nice exhibition , with a lot of openness from eric, cameraman just get a tripod!

True about why not showing the art, while they talk ???
Because the stuff is mediocre.
Don't want pictures interrupting them listening to the sound of their own voices ,should be billed as talking not painting

those who can ...do...those who can't write snarky comments on art blogs

This guy is reason people make fun of artist dude your work only sales because your famous now it's really not that good
Mediocre art at best! If the consensus here is that this is great art...then it's easy to rationalize Trump is great Presidential material.
Why are you filming the guys talking. I want to see the work not some nubs face!!!
