Dana Schutz and The Meaning of Life (and Art)

This video is about the paintings of Dana Schutz, but it will not mention that Emmett Till situation. It's about the paintings she made before that.

Cheers James

[@edmond4005]

Great analysis and paintings. I did not know the artist. Thank you!

[@AmorSciendi]

Yeah. Contemporary artists won't bring me views, but I still like discussing them

[@arthistorystorytime]

These paintings are hard to look away from 😮 ooh and their eyes! Very meta of the art helping the artist make themselves.

[@timriehl1500]

Was saving this for a time I could psych myself up to watch it, lol. But it is much more understandable than I thought it would be. Thanks for the video!

[@fireplay6428]

Very good analysis, all the best for future projects

[@nigelbanksart]

Bloomin’ work of genius creative insight - thankyou so much for creating and reflecting (your self and your audience)!

[@bobshort2149]

I can only imagine that anyone who makes fun of your voice is doing so to compensate for their inability to comprehend complete sentences or anything beyond the most basic English vocabulary. Personally, I could listen to you talk about art, architecture, or literature for hours. Your voice is calm, yet compelling - and, yes, it does have a sort of warm sensuality. Plus. you seem like you'd be fun to hang out with. I enjoy your content, intelligence, analysis & empathy. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@AmorSciendi]

Thank you. This comment made my day

[@pisongsea]

Love your analysis, thank you!

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

Disturbing but nice to look at. Would love to see some geometrical analysis of these, there's some serious art going on. "I mean look at them, they stare directly at us" 6:55 Directly at "us" is right. There is a lot going on in these images. Freedom to do or freedom from, identity and the meme-ing of life...

[@AmorSciendi]

Happy you enjoyed the video and the artist. I've got another contemporary artist lined up for the next one as well

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

@@AmorSciendi excellent.

0:30 "Make fun of your voice?" Seriously? I thought it's seductive. Although I'm very curious to see for how long you can hide your residing hairline with your little quiff😂😂
