Tune in for a live Q&A with Corey on Wednesday, February 7 at 3:00 p.m. EST! He’ll be answering any questions you might have on artists, materials, and techniques. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ham2aYuVi5uHebc

[@ericfoster5267]

After having binged several of these videos starring Mr. D'Augustine, I respectfully request a new run! He's so informative and engaging and I can't get enough of these videos!

[@mandykhoo2473]

Everyone could do this but nobody did: genius

[@jadamay8334]

Pollock had rhythm that made his art seem dancing with depth of bold to thin drips to dots within the lines

[@ceildiskin9545]

I'd like to see artists explored who work more specifically in shapes and color like Elizabeth Murray and Frank Stella. Thanks! This is a wonderful series.

[@bconigliaro]

There’s one thing you can say for Jackson Pollock. He never licensed a Paint-By-Number kit.

[@gurveenkaur4773]

Thanks for explaining it so well, I can now understand the significance and importance of Pollock and appreciate his work as well.

[@cliffdariff74]

Thanks.. standing in front of a JP is what really will make one decide to love it or not. I love his repertoire.

[@staberind]

There are those who are interested in the "worth" of an art work, and there are those who only see the eventual price. I think this series is more for the former than the latter.

[@sandywelch5957]

Corey is amazing....so talented ...xxx Love to watch his videos..keep them coming!

[@ManoloVintage]

I love how they can make a painting sound like a million bucks. Pollock was a dancer with a paint brush😂. He didn't even prime the canvas! Plus I see craze(cracking) from the fluid paints. He achieved some cells happening, with the denser white paint trying to sink below the less dense black paint. All in all its just fun cool paintings. I will make one for myself and copy his color choices. He may be the first 'non objective' (not abstract)-fluid artist. Pretty cool stuff.

[@nathanjaneisler902]

About to get started! Thank you!!

[@cejamieson2024]

I really enjoy this series.

[@ilhammagribi]

If Pollock never start this kind of art, you can never imagine painting could be like this before, dear genius out there.

[@supercharger5727]

Everyone can do what Jackson Pollock did but Jackson Pollock was the one who did it

[@Sun_Inside]

In my youth, I tried this technique on small surfaces, it is mesmerizing, at that time I did not know about the existence of such an artist as Pollock, amazing.)

[@bubandlisa]

I did too its called wasting paint and making a mess

[@josienicholson8479]

My granddaughter's cookies were decorated in his style and I'm pretty sure she captured his spirit in her.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

OMG, I LOVE his paintings. I can stare at a JP painting for like 1/2 hour, totally mesmerized.

[@soundorg]

My favorite space that I have visited ever.

[@Acquavallo]

I like the presenter. He's really good

[@nelsonx5326]

Do one on how to paint like Rembrandt.

[@eniren5181]

Love this

[@KarlAmade]

This is so fantastic... ah...The art by Jackson Pollock has always touched me, as said in the film - the sequence of images you make in your head concerning the creation of the art, whilst investigating it, is absolutely one way to feel the thrill.

[@victorugo3875]

I think what's interesting about this flavour of art is that you cannot possibly forge it.

[@LucyGodwinArtist]

Thanks for all you do Corey. Love ya and brilliant video as always.

[@learnerlearns]

This video is one of (if not THE) best brief explanations of Pollack's work. It is relative thorough but impressively concise. MoMA curators obviously know their business.

[@francescafolchi3790]

beautiful video! congrats for your communication and painting skills! As a figurative artist trained on the academic method, I wanted to clarify that in figurative painting colors are a composition as well, were reds, blue, yellows dialogue in every part of the painting just as Pollock did. They are never totally separate but just dominant.

[@jammorillo2151]

This is my number one favorite

[@ollydawes8186]

One can argue that even chaos has a sense of meticulous and planning behind it. It has to know when to start and finish

[@YoungShizzie]

nice !

[@AnaSanchez-ci6ze]

This is awesome

[@gayledaniel5901]

Excellent video, explained in a clear engaging way.

[@diogolenoir]

Portinari brasileiro,amazing MOMA.

[@sureshbalasubramanian6682]

Nice painting good for learning🤩🤩

[@Mikyda3]

A bit sad that halfway through all I could think of was his dark pants & shoes look exceptionally clean for illustrating a Pollock technique. 😄

[@zeynepungun3717]

Wonderful

[@Yzyxdolorza]

Very nice! I have often equated Pollack with Gene Kelly (dance), but had never considered that the distance between the tool and the canvas caused the mark to form in the air and then drop to the support. Thx.

[@thedreams8664]

Gracias por la enseñanza de l arte abstracto

[@Prodsamu-rz7nh]

MI PROFE DE ARTES ME HIZO VER EL VIDEO!!!

[@suzannedesylva3805]

Were Pollock's paintings done on raw, ungessoed canvas? Great video. Thank you.

[@manifestgtr]

I’m kind of divided on Jackson Pollock. On one hand, I understand the excitement of it. The motion that it preserves. The fact that patterns exist on a deeper level. The celebration of texture and emotion. On the other hand, his work proves that visual art, like any other form of “entertainment”, rests purely in the hands of the tastemakers. His vision was his own but his work isn’t uniquely outstanding when you stack it up honestly against many of his peers’. So why is it that we remember his name? Exactly...It’s not an indictment of his work. It’s just how we operate as a species

[@janjamm]

It helps to see his early works to understand how he got here.

[@spyrashic4280]

man this looks like every apron in an art classroom ever

[@JJI6881]

Wow so wonderful to hear people say nice, intelligent things about Pollock's work!! I myself have worked in Pollock's style I can also attest to the need for balance and technique--Its not just throwing paint around!!!

[@chris-pio]

I practiced with this tutorial, thanks!

[@thetruthonly4u]

Nice!

[@SonicVision360]

Thank you for the fine demonstration!

[@StephenS-2024]

Pollack made lines. He, Rothko, Barnett, Motherwell, and a few others were seminal in creating an acceptance of non-figurative art as " fine art". Kandinsky was pretty much the catalyst in my opinion. The forerunner. Abstract Expressionism ( stupid term ) changed everything but that doesn't mean that we should all splatter or do simple color-field paintings and expect to be nothing more than a cheap copy. It was a jumping off point. No need to go there again. But, now where? That's the question. That's our job as artists. To ask questions. Not answer them. Just saying. ✌ (Btw, I'm more of a DeKooning guy myself. He grew on me. )

[@etienne7774]

Make a video on Gerhard Richter and please tell me where he bought his big jars of paint. No one on the internet knows, it seems.

[@shawnmcnultyart]

You can imagine the disks in his neck deteriorating. I've started using prism glasses to keep my head upright and challenge my control.

[@juniorchavesopicassodeyahu988]

VERY GOOD

[@thebirds2406]

This is Japanese way of painting, it belong to JAPAN way of painting, and it is called GUTAI indeed it means painting in action they do everything in movement that is continuous from start to finish until the Art piece is done. with The Gutai Art this kind of painting they are dancing, swinging around, sliding on it full of paints, pouring it from 3 storeys high and like the way shown here also swinging a bucket with diverse style and cut full of paints

[@b_sugar1613]

Wow!!!

[@danielkaloczi6886]

amazing commentary

[@ireldavieillesse8874]

Hi everyone it so cool and beautiful

[@chickenyardproduct]

I wanted to see your finished painting !!

[@andrewmurray5542]

Yeah, me too.

[@walterjoemoore6732]

Very informative. I understand a little more now. Thanks

[@robinwitting2023]

Genius perspective on his techniques. I find Pollock's painting to be charged with atomic flux and modern day mayhem. Robin Witting England

[@Tabth3778]

Truly incredible, only the skills a literal toddler could provide

[@jammorillo2151]

I really like the paint, it's very simple and unique

[@howardhill3395]

One wonders how much of a design he had imagined before he started the painting, and how much he just let it evolve as he painted. I imagine at least a loose sense of the design or rhythm before he starts the painting. I'd love to see a painter/dancer doing this type of painting as a dance with music in the background.

[@etienne7774]

How do you prime an unstretched canvas roll?

[@juanfrandin5083]

Wuaoooo!!! Se necesitan litros de pintura.. y se hace fluido.. háganme una transferencia bien jugosa y seguro la creatividad es infinita..

[@jp6385]

Can you explore the painting of Leon Kossof ?

[@jacobmatthes2]

I wish this was a longer episode.

[@johnshadoe]

How many gallons did you use? For each color?

[@chopsbox]

amazing painting

[@shannonkendrick865]

I’ve been told some of my paintings look the same as his. it’s just a different way of expression to me. I’m more relaxed you might say, it’s playful to do it this way.

[@hidserdejong6532]

i love pollocks work

[@Hakobyan.]

Tell me ,please, what paint is this?

[@graceli3361]

What type of canvas is this??

[@eugenerevey9041]

Well could he paint an image?

[@ricochetsixtyten]

How to create a diversion when sneaking into a museum to steal a painting: Bring up the name Jackson Pollock and watch everyone get distracted in endless debate

[@UlangtahunRandu]

Does anyone know what type of paint he uses

[@deadpoolredsuit4892]

The movie 'Pollock' is worth watching.

[@plantplanetearth509]

Pollack first to create camouflage or 80s fashion clothes for Full House.

[@michealcurrie8272]

Jack the dripper........

[@grekori748]

I didn't know you can work on an unprimed canvas like that. Interesting. It is an unprimed canvas is it?

[@lactroc11]

nice

[@HddjxFkczfkkxcn]

what´s that paint?

[@mikeschneider901]

What so few people get is that there was no "hit and miss" with Pollock. Above all else he was a calligrapher as is evident in his style of putting down paint.

[@sirbantzalot]

please stop lying

[@arturoapilado8188]

imagine going to art school and they teach you how paint this and dance while painting

[@isbestlizard]

In the style of jackson pollock!

[@alinebaruchi1936]

What is actually hard about expressing colour gestures is details of movement It's mostly dancing and painting If you got no domain over your body and lines of movement, it doesn't work that well Best dancers are the best painters

[@felixpeaul5816]

which canvas did you use? and where could I find such a canvas? I can not really see if you chose a white canvas or a little brown canvas an where could i find such a big one

[@artpaintingdrawing8270]

amazing

[@isolateddemon9438]

The equivalent of noise music...great.

[@chaostears]

Jfc so many haters in the comments. Have any of you guys actually gone and seen some of pollock’s pieces? They’re quite moving and emotional. You can feel the motion of his hands and his feet, feel the charged emotions he must have had throwing the paint on the canvas. The sheer size of the piece feels like it’s going to swallow you whole in raw feeling. Saying your child could have done it is an immature way of seeing the piece. Understanding the story behind it can go a long way in appreciating abstract and modern art. Instead of shitting on someone who is undoubtedly one of the most prolific modern artists, consider for a minute why someone would view his art as something majestic and something to be preserved. Then rethink your tired and inane comments of, “my kids could do this” and “this is just paint splatters” and “this art doesn’t mean anything”.

[@DavidLopez-uh6pg]

from Pollock I took that you shouldn't always have to go for the most expensive paints available

Hello, could somebody write me the text down, what the man is saying so i can let it get translated into my language?

[@themuseumofmodernart]

Hey everyone, tune in this Wednesday, May 17 at 3:30 p.m. EDT for a *LIVE* Q&A with IN THE STUDIO instructor Corey D'Augustine. Corey will answer questions from previous videos, as well as from the live comments section. Watch live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYKVeHd_a5xmotE

[@Kerrsartisticgifts]

when Jackson Pollock began a piece, did he envision the end result? was he expressing an idea or sharing a view of something in a new way? or was he showing that he could convince you that a house painters dropsheet could be a thing of beauty?

[@robertokropff4324]

pollock usaba que tipo de pintura oleo acrilico

[@sabbottart]

Now let’s see you paint in his early style.

[@alinebaruchi1936]

Shapes and movement only work if you are good at senses And feelings If you can't feel, you can't even study art

[@noman3795]

watching this makes me never again want to buy art i can just make it lol

[@AarmOZ84]

It is so weird, but Pollock creates very conceptual patterns in something that seems totally random. While dripping paint on the floor is technically simple, the end result is beyond astounding.

[@arnavgovil861]

0:17 they show the painting
