Thank you for this and for introducing me to the Bay Area artists, its been quite a revelation. That quote by David Park's, towards the end, reminds me of my favourite quote from Anais Nin, 'Do not despair to reconcile yourself with your own image.' I mentioned before in a comment from one of your other excellent lectures the works of the British Neo-Romantics, from around 1935-55, and I think you would like the work of Keith Vaughan. Like you I was writing to artists back in the 1980s. People were incredibly generous with their time. Once again, I am really enjoying listening to your lectures. You speak so clearly and with a passion for your subject.

Thank you Andrew. That is a wise quote from Anais Nin and I'll be sure to look into the work of Keith Vaughan.

Once when living in Monterey, Ca I contacted his aunt Edith Truesdell & then drove far out in Carmel Valley in my VW Bus to meet her who was very friendly & treated me & my ex to dinner. Still remember that.

Very insightful talk on David Park and your trajectory with his work over the years. Yes, I saw that show in SF on Bay Area Figurative Art, I think it was in ‘89. Great painter - thanks 🙏

So glad I made you laugh. As a teenager I used to to puppet shows and kid's birthday parties and it taught me how to be loose and funny in front of a crowd... even without a puppet on my hand.

Not sure why, but YT cannot load and play the whole video. Maybe it's my service. It's ancient.

I checked the video and it does play to the end for me. So yes, you must have a technical problem. Glad you are interested in finishing it!

This was a great video. I am wondering what you meant by "somewhere in between memory and present" on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXK9YYilgpuSgLM

I was talking about the way that when an artist works from memory they portray a subject differently than if the person is present....something less literal.
