I love watching videos of her and am so glad her son videod her for posterity. I agree wholeheartedly with her views on art and wish she was still around. She is so authentic. Bless her wherever she is now.
Wow! She's used my own phrase for it! I'm a long-lapsed textile artist who gave up and got a 'proper job' because I became a dad and had bills to pay. Many years later I had a gf who is a good impressionist (?) landscape artist with Fine Art degrees. After a few years of trying, she got accepted as a member of an illustrious FA Academy, and decided to swap me for a fellow fine artist, saying "you just don't appreciate fine art". So I researched to see if I'd gone wrong somewhere, and after forays thru the Tate Modern and several galleries and collections, I realised that it IS a case of 'Emperor's New Clothes'. Yes, there's some incredible work out there, but a lot is complete talentless shite and anyone who expresses this is 'plebian'. It's all back scratching and brown-nosing to rise to the Great and Good in the art world.
Something I've always wanted to try was to take certain modern artists' own statements about their art and to do my own art in a way that achieves their stated goals far more directly. For example you could use coloured lights to produce Rothko-like effects far more effectively than Mark Rothko ever did with oil paint on canvas. Or you could go in the other direction and make intricate artworks with traditional materials. Either way if you had talent and vision, I think you could outshine a lot of the guiding lights of modern art quite easily!
Me walking through MOMA: "Crap. Rubbish. Ridiculous. Dross..." It took me about am hour to go through all floors. I went back to the Met just to see something of real value. Loved seeing Mary.
@ Hockney can not draw, obviously… a good analogy is Taking a calculator into a math exam which would save time. Only it’s cheating. Have you ever used a camera obscura? It’s impossible. It’s dark with a pinhole replica that’s upside down. Vermeer was a great draughtsman and it’s doubtful that he used one. But art historians that have no empirical knowledge keep pushing that theory with no evidence. Mary is a perfect paradigm of humble honesty who chose terrific and in depth subject matter and she painted it honestly. David Hockney with an ego out the wazoo traces stupid subject matter. Swimming pools are not too interesting.
@@cindyoverall8139When I first heard of him I was anxious to see just what it was that made him popular. It took me 1 minute to determine the "genius" of Hockney, MARKETING. His work is uninspiring and there is nothing revolutionary
If something is meaningless without a detailed explanation isn't it in essence meaningless? At least I understand a pile of rubbish. Why it ends up in an art museum is outside my understanding.
About time someone said it as it is.. most current "art" is rubbish.. Silly affectations to gain attention. What's worse is the "artist" then explains what the work is and does , primarily involving their inner being, moods, thoughts or feelings as if they are in tune with the universe etc. Trash. Reminds me of looking for a bottle of wine and the label on the back spews nonsense such as waves of fresh ocean air and then tells you what food to "pair" with it. That is my que to put the bottle back and look for something else.
@@TonyCane-Honeysett My favorite "artists" are those if have not yet encountered. I revere the many great, brilliant copyists who have been able to supply wealthy, duped dilatants into buying their works. Proof you do not have to be an artist to be an "artist". Meantime other "artist's" goofy works are auctioned for millions. PS. I am a craftsman/artist of many decades who occasionally creates a piece that actually astonishes me. All else is credibly utilitarian. Happy New Year. Excellent video. Liked and subscribed.
I tend to agree .Just back from NYC visited MOMA it was very busy over Christmas ,but it’s all in the eye of the beholder Starry night couldn’t get near it? Jackson Pollack I do like it as a design but I think he was a bit mad .But Piet Mondrian as a architectural platform are brilliant ,on the other hand Monet bland, also Cezanne,disappointing, Warlol not impressed . Impressionists yes and of course others. If you look at modern art history such as Dada Cubism etc they were frowned upon at the time . But I judge really bad art such as “as a banana with duck tape” jumping on the bandwagon making stupid money! I paint what I like not to con people
The problem with conceptual art is the concepts are so weak. They're like a mild visual pun told over and over again. Critics attribute profundity to these musings and the market backs it with cash. Like a member of the royal family telling a joke, everyone in earshot laughs even when the joke isn't in the least funny.
Love every film of her… she has humor and sure tells the art world what she thinks! 👏👏👏
Love this wonderful lady.
Loved her comments. If you are going to paint dirty laundry, you must use watercolour, otherwise it won't wash!
I love her work and she's such a darling !
I love this girl!, she really couldn't give a flying fart what people think, honest view from an honest woman!, well done Mrs! well done!. 😀
Love love love her. I’ve watched everyone and it seems that this is an excerpt from what I’ve seen but so worth seeing again
Too bad she wasn’t cloned before she passed.. a true truth sayer.
Excellent, and so spot on.
I love watching videos of her and am so glad her son videod her for posterity. I agree wholeheartedly with her views on art and wish she was still around. She is so authentic. Bless her wherever she is now.
Would I ordinarily listen to an artist’s opinion🙄…no. Would I listen to Mary’s opinion🧐…any day🤗
Fabulous to see another video on your adorable mother…. so wonderful you’re keeping her memory alive in this way.🙏🤎

Totally agree!
So what does your opinion change, NOTHING!
True, sadly.
@ not sad but vitally true. proceeds fromPerception to imaginination and not burdened by perception to representation.

You make an interesting point. You should try it!
Vermeer….all those beautiful bricks in his paintings!! ….she loves a brick or two!! As do I !!
Me too!
Me walking through MOMA: "Crap. Rubbish. Ridiculous. Dross..." It took me about am hour to go through all floors. I went back to the Met just to see something of real value. Loved seeing Mary.
Ha! Yes, I did the same thing at MOMA.
She's great isn't she, just brilliant
She certainly was! Thank you.
David Hockney uses a camera lucida which is tracing.
And he buffalos the art world with his genius. Laughable.
So what? It just cuts a lot of time out of the process…doesn’t mean he couldn’t draw it if he wanted to…Vermeer did too…and a lot of other artists…
