Exclusive Interview with Master Painter Michael John Angel. Cesar Santos vlog 058

[@billflamer543]

To see two masters sharing their craft is a true blessing way to go

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Thanks Cesar!! You are brilliant!

[@santocesart]

Michael John Angel what a pleasure to share your thoughts with the world. Thank you

[@MoMindSetCrypto]

Your insight and staight talk, is clear to the point, that one easily breaks out of fears and setbacks in creating art.-- inspirational and a true avan- gard artist.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Thanks, Mo Zaic Manchester!! (I come from Manchester!)

[@MoMindSetCrypto]

@@michaeljohnangel6359 Interesting-- ive started to do portraits-- following an accident, and 7 year disability ( now recoverd)-- any suggestions places/education in manchester to improve my ability?-- are you on Facebook?

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Ciao Mo Ziac: I'm afraid I don't know of any good schools in Manchester that teach Realism in the sense that we specialise in teaching it. Go on-line and watch Scott Waddell's webisodes (start with his Webisode 4, "Painting Form"). There are other great on-line instructors, too: David Kassan, Joshua LaRock, Casey Baugh, Michael Klein …. For landscape painting, watch Michael James Smith's plethora of free KZbin instruction (he is the best for demonstrating how layering simple brushstrokes, wet over wet, results in an astonishingly realistic - Photorealist - result); also watch Stuart Davies for a more Romantic (i.e. emotional & expressive) landscape. I do have a Facebook page, although I haven't posted anything on it for a year or more - facebook.com/michaeljohn.angel.9?lst=100001597721502%3A100001597721502%3A1500462385 I've posted some instructional step-by-steps on my Facebook page, dating from August, 2017. Several people have posted other things on my page since then; so, you'll have to scroll down. One of these postings is from an alumna, Trish Lowe, and shows my send-out (to our students and alumni) about the importance of keeping one's edges soft. (Edges will torment you all your life - they are so important!!) Buon lavoro!!!

[@brenttaylordotus]

Man, I love your thinking Cesar. The point about how our world tends to focus on the worst and not the best, and how the contemporary art world focuses on a very thin sliver of time and ignores a rich history of art really rings true. Excellent interview

[@gayesekula]

I so agree!

[@adriangrigore228]

All the new crap is because of picassso and His sticks ...

[@adriangrigore228]

@SaKuGa SeNsEi true! i hope artists go back to quality works. Classical and impresionist paintings are soo beautifull. Or abstract like Salvador Dali... but not throwing paint over a canvas and sell that junk for 40 milions...awfull...What leonardo and all renacentists worked for? they nearly maked painting into science. Picaso was against renacentists...

[@mantaj2906]

Looks like he is a great man. You should do more videos with him showing all his works

[@thomasbroderick6388]

I couldn't agree more.

[@pellis8985]

Mr. Angel seems like a fabulous mentor and person. Thanks for sharing your appreciation of him and his school with us!

[@bambeanie_zi]

The more you talk up the Angel Academy the more I wish I could study there.

[@bookowl1775]

Same. And I am a bit sad because I will have to wait 4+ to go there :/ The director looks old, I hope I am not late when I enter into the Academy because I want to meet him so bad :(

[@thebones]

you have to be rich

[@Dale_Blackburn]

@@thebones What is the price?

[@anaidashigirt5932]

[@srgusgg]

WOW! Amazing video, thank you very much, if the teacher Angel could give us so much information in 21 minutes, I can not imagine how it could be in years learning from him. Thank you very much for this incredible gift Master!

[@johncox3083]

WOW! Great conversation Cesar!!! The Maestro and his Maestro, could not be tter! I did not want this vlog to end! Please do it again with Maestro Michael John Angel!!!

[@thomasbroderick6388]

Absolutely captivating. What a delightful genius. Thank you Cesar for introducing him to us.

[@miroslaw2000]

I remember Michael John Angel's advertising posters for his classes in Florence in early 1990s outside of OCA in Toronto, Canada. Great school he created, I am so happy to see so many people benefiting from his expertise! I love Pietro Annigoni's art. :)

[@robertflorea3118]

Bravo Cesar! It's so great to see an interview with a man who speaks about a wonderful academy. Thank you for bringing forward a man who does so much for the artists. Angel Academy it's out of my reach, but at least I have two of your DVDs to bring me closer.

[@pchabanowich]

Thank you for this. I had an opportunity to study for two weeks with a teacher from the Angel Academy in Calgary. It was beyond my skills but I learned so much. If life were different, I’d have packed my things and moved to Florence and begged to be a student. Even if Mr. Angel threw me off the scaffold. Mr. Angel’s mastery is the bliss of devotion. And what a delightful personality! Bravo!

[@bodawei425]

It is actually beautiful to witness how grateful you are to your master. We really can see in your eyes how much you admire this person. It is so rare today people who can be grateful to others and are able to tell them, pay tribute to them with generosity in an humble way like the way you do it. Bravo & thanks!

[@albertavedissian327]

Thank you Angel Academy Thank you Cesar for your amazing hard work and contribution to the art world.As an artist my self ,I was in shock when I visited some of contemporary art galerries.It felt like a insult to my intelligence.Seemed like a great dumbing down of society had occured recently.A artist work can move mountains.The quality of the art ,the brush strokes ,or pencil work shows through.The time spent on the work.The Masters showed their love of humanity ,not their disdain.Of course as an artist I do not believe in censorship.But to the young ones,with out the masters you would not exist.So always take off your hat In respect.As an artist you have to learn the fundamentals solid.🙏🇺🇸🎨

[@andreea2007it]

Thank you for sharing with us all what you know ... good for yourself for having the opportunity to study with a real maestro

[@zachampsonartist]

The thoughts and the conversation was fantastic! Thankyou for this!

[@malcolmreese7777]

What a fantastic conversation. Two people who have obvious love and respect for each other. So inspiring, thank you both.

[@LoneStarRocker]

Cesar you get me all pumped up to paint when I watch your vids. I'm surrounded by mostly fluid artists and abstract artists (they are all very popular) in the local art group here but I'll stay true to traditional methods of oil painting and since watching your tutorials I have seen great improvements. I have to focus on my color mixing now. I'm hoping that two of my paintings will be selected for the next juried art show. I'll find out on Friday.

[@brownjh91]

Cesar -- thanks for your recent posts about the academy! I'm working now on my portfolio to apply in September to begin in spring trimester: these videos have been so helpful to show friends / family who don't understand WHY I would go around the world for something they think I could get at a community college.

[@Here_Today_]

Good luck to you!

[@bookowl1775]

Do I need a portafolio to apply? Oh I did not know, thanks!

very interesting interview, for me i see the 100s of millions of amateur artist all around the world doing what they do as the avant-garde. The child drawing a arm that you can not see is so right i have a memory of doing the same thing, thanks for a great video

[@MchArt]

Amazing interview. I learned a lot and it put a big smile on my face 😊. Thank you for sharing all of this knowledge! You have such a big influence on my own artistic journey and I know you have this influence on many others, thank you!

[@brenttaylordotus]

Oh man I just thought of this, how cool would it be of you to do a portrait of Mr. Angel.

[@jimmiesutton8468]

Mr. Angel and Mr.Santos: How wonderful to see you TWO of my favorite artist and inspirational persons in my life together! I purchased Cesar's Portrait DVD and Mr. angel, I am the Young Man who texted you several a few months ago stating that I was in Florence a couple if years ago but was not aware of where and or how to get to the Academy! You were so nice to let me know when I am there again,(this summer is my plan) that you would see that I was welcomed with a personal tour!!! I let you know because it will be the high light of my entire LIFE! I just purchased the Charles Bargue's Drawing course! Amazingly enlightening! look forward to seeing you soon , MR. Angel; Cesar I see, see you every day and would love to meet you as well! god Bless you both!

CESAR!!!!!!!!!! Fascinating!!!!! Thank you 😊 This is one amazing interview-- the one the only ANGEL !! My mind has been expanded AGAIN

[@marka9200]

Cesar Santos, I love your work and your youtube channel. As an artist myself, I always struggled with a question that I often fail to really have any master answer for me. Why do we still paint realism, when we have the incredible photography and even photoshop and other programs that can enhance photos in many possible forms? I gravitate towards paintings by the old masters, the impressionists. From the impressionist time one of my favorite works is done by John Singer Sargent... but soon thereafter photography became a thing, and before you knew it photography can perfectly represent a figure, a city, a seascape in total reality of the lens... even further came video, and with video not only could we see the person, city, or the sea, but we could also hear their voices... Picasso himself struggled with this, and eluded to abstraction since to him photography had replaced represental painting. How do you feel about the subject, perhaps it can be a future video of yours tackling this question from one artist to another... why do we still paint portraits? Is there still a market for it? Even harder to fathom is why paint scenes of a city or a beach, when one can buy a big photograph, frame it, and hang it for $100.00 instead of paying a master artist in the 1000s... I know there is a certain level of class and awe by a painting, but is there not more than that? Id love to hear your response :) Thank you for all you do, and perhaps one day we can collaborate and I can paint your portrait :) -Mark Alexander

[@mikhailv67tv]

Few study realism CAUSE we can't paint AS well as you guys. I love your ability, I'm getting better as a painter but doubt I'll ever be as good you guys.

[@pavletaa5562]

What an honor, Two Masters!

[@VicBxxx]

Refreshing conversation

[@eledelosoriogiddings5069]

This is great!

[@micheltrijsburg]

What a great vibe you two have going on and love the philosophy that you do so often. Quick question, but do you have an example of works comparing the concept that you two are talking about around 10:30? Multi figure paintings without wholeness and paintings that do integrate the figures in their surroundings?

[@elsagrace3893]

Michel Trijsburg I would love to see example too but I wonder if pointing out the inferior example would cause them legal trouble. Hope not.

[@studio.marilynbailey]

What a great conversation between two terrific artists.

[@harsh2art]

Thanks Cesar and Michael for this plethora of information ! Do you know any ateliers that also focuses on landscape / plein-air painting ?

[@patrickdoyle2510]

It'd be interesting to hear about how Angel worked with/learned from some of the people here in Toronto, Canada....

[@borealiswan2363]

He founded the Angel Academy in Toronto, now the ARA. He taught them, they didn't have anything to teach him ....

[@patrickdoyle2510]

Hi and thanks for the comment. It'd be interesting to review the history, as there seems to be some disagreement on that front. Take care

[@teresacutmore8431]

Just loving your videos and the editing is so neat - well done to your wife! Heard that on your chat with Andrew Tischler :)

[@MichaelWarthStudios]

Thank- you for sharing this interview, Cesar. I often think about attending an atelier and have been interested in Michael John’s academy for many years. I doubt I’ll ever make it happen, but I may someday. I wonder how old is too old for the academy? If I can ever figure out how to finance it, I’ll go if they will have me.

[@elsagrace3893]

Michael Warth I often wonder how old is too old. What is their experience with teaching older people? Does it compare to learning a foreign language which is about impossible after 40 for most people.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Hi Michael, we have no age limit. Many modern-day ateliers and academies DO have an age limit (30? 25?), but, at Angel's, we don't. It's enough that the student is passionate about wanting to learn and will do the work.

[@MichaelWarthStudios]

Michael John Angel I will definitely hold you to that one day, thank-you for the reply.

[@gordmacdonald9711]

After the art schools I attended in the 80s gave me horderves, in 1992 John served up a whole meal, 5 courses and coffee. ☺️☺️

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Thanks Gord. It's great to hear from you! Keïta keeps me abreast of what you're doing, and he tells me that your paintings are selling well. Bravo!

[@gordmacdonald9711]

Thanks John. Thankfully, you helped destroy my career as a Toronto taxi driver and I've had to make a living as a painter ever since. Its been two decades and I don't know how people in Toronto have been able to get around without me. The consolation is that 3-500 of them now have a painting of mine on their wall and most importantly, I haven't had to live there in 2 decades. ☺️

[@janefarley5047]

Love!

[@billypeek7186]

that is some good stuff right there...thanks

[@TheRedverb]

Sure, Sure, but there's a lot of captivating contemporary art too, and that's what I go to when I tire of looking at portraits. The boat is big enough for both mediums.

[@santocesart]

TheRedverb sure sure but they have dominated the art schools, galleries and museums for many years suppressing and ridiculing classical art. This is not about what people like to look at, is about artistic freedom of expression.

[@TheRedverb]

Cesar Santos, Because this is your channel, I'm going to respectfully terminate my argument. Although, I should point out that I follow your uploads and have always found your work hard to look away from. Greetings from Ft. Lauderdale.

[@michaeljohnangel6359]

Ciascuno al suo gusto (to each, his own taste). I have nothing against abstract art; I just find it vacuous and boring - it's nowhere near complicated enough for me. However, feel free to love it - abstract art has next to nothing to do with what we do, just as scat-singing has almost nothing to do with pole vaulting.

[@Plumsouffle]

What a treat! :)

[@MAC-ws8fz]

I'm into my third time watching this. Amazing!

[@elsagrace3893]

Hi Cesar, love this but I’m not getting as much as possible out of it because of the echo-y room. Could you consider this in future vids? Use a padded room? 😂😂

[@rogermari7489]

Excellent Maestro Santos and Maestro Angel, Their is something I am confuse about is the Allegory and Conceptual painting. I din't know anything a bout conceptual painting since to me is just stuff trout all over a room (modern Art) an on an exhibition another artist criticism my paint calling it conceptual I try to don't get offend until today I heard Maestro Angel talking about it, the other will be allegory, is not allegory trying to describe something with the use of multiple objects or subjects, some type of surrealism? Hope one day you can elaborate about the different concepts in painting on a video or answer this by replaying. Thanks, Roger from your City, !MIAMI!
