Art Is Life: An Interview With Art Critic Jerry Saltz
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- Do you remember “finishing” a painting, or a writing and looking back at it a few days later and realizing that it’s not quite done yet? Did you ever wake up at 3 am only to be plagued by the voices that say just how terrible of an artist you are? These are universal experiences all artists share and our guest shares more about these.
Today’s guest is Jerry Saltz, and he’s seen enough art to know what he’s talking about. Jerry is an art critic, a columnist, and Senior Art Critic for New York Magazine. He was awarded the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Criticism and is a two-time ASME Award winner. He’s authored several books including NYT Best Seller How to Be an Artist and Art is Life.
For many years now, Jerry’s days have been completely filled with art. From waking up in the morning trying to get to work as soon as possible, going through the New York art scene with his wife (who is also an art critic), discussing their thoughts over some classic NY pizza, and going home to write about what he just saw, he’s amassed a wide knowledge of art. And he talks more about the realizations he’s had throughout the years and the universal truths about art.
“Just get to work, artists. It’s not that hard to make bad art.” - Jerry Saltz
So what are these universal truths about art? Here are some that we talk about in this episode:
👉All artists make bad art
👉The impact of art and the statements they make
👉The process of making art and “leaving everything on the canvas.”
Art is powerful. Art leaves an impact. Everything you create will leave an impact, and maybe you’ll never even know what that impact is. But you can make a change. So keep on making art, even if it’s mediocre. Even if it’s bad. Because only you can make your art, and only you are capable of making your change. Listen to this episode to receive more inspiration, and hear Jerry’s story and funny, yet extremely relatable, anecdotes on art.
“Art does change lives and minds. And lives and people change the world.” - Jerry Saltz

Okay, started watching but saving to listen to at work tomorrow - this is so good! So many nuggets of wisdom - especially about just getting over yourself and do the work - just do the work. I think that will be my new Mantra when the negative voices and thoughts creep in. 'Get over yourself and just do the work. Go make some bad art so you can get to the good stuff." (will then watch the rest of the video while working in my studio) Will definitely be getting his books. Love that you have added videos along with the podcast. 😀
“There’s that green again” 😅
Men in open-bottom dress --- what about kilts and togas?
i was thinking the same--- also the Wizards in Harry Potter
@@schulmanartAnd so....? How, DID/Do those men feel about their sexuality and power? I have read that Roman's believed that friendship-love, especially between men, was to be prized over any other kind. And I imagine that the wizards feel pretty powerful with all that knowledge and all those spells between their ears. And make Scots? Hmmmm..... Enlighten me, please.
And the spellchecker betrayed me - - - I meant Romans, not Roman's.
This is the guy who said to shun Republican friends. Does he have any friends to shun.🤔
