Howard Hodgkin at the Gagosian Gallery in Paris

[@OrlandoRafaeldosSantos]

I admire your works since the 80´s. Glad to see you here and to hear you.

[@albinobeach]

Really Beautiful and causes me to smile in my mind. To capture a place or a feeling so simply and deeply is very difficult to achieve.

[@alanjonsiwebb]

Had the pleasure meeting this man today in Norwich at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts. Was an honour talking to him.

[@jhb61249]

I'm afraid I'm late in making well wishes, but Howard left reminders for us to visit and to recall.

[@davidmcgee603]

the most beautiful show I've seen in years!!!!

[@jamesbogart]

spoken like a real investor.

[@StefanJUlrich]

This touched me even more deeply than Gerhard Richter's abstract paintings do (to which I see some parallels).

[@柳瀬治郎]

素晴らしい作品ですね！

[@FrenchyBunnyStudio]

Nice video!

[@lisengel2498]

I really like the paintings of Howard Hodgkin. I experience them as a kind of gestural dance - filled with sensuel presence and feeling

[@jamesbogart]

hahahahaha.

[@cliffdariff74]

Do you think he loaded his brush with oil paint then dipped it in Linseed Oil before making the strokes?

[@joeswampdawghenry]

Possibly lager n lyme

[@MrFernandoEmanuel]

Good video, thank you.

[@henrygrove100]

Awesome

[@theadoresmith2777]

The music is quite nice ...

[@andrelafeta9881]

👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

[@danutaogorek1205]

Interesujące...

[@frankfacts6207]

had absolute control of the wide brushes - minimalist painting at its very best

[@jamesbogart]

lol

[@EndOfEntertainment]

cool stuff :)

[@christianegonbarnthaler1426]

super art 111

[@MasterAlgae]

I painted like that when I was 5. I called it dinosaur prints!

[@EmlynBoyle]

Yawn...whatever troll.

[@trishahopkins8199]

And yet it still felt the benefit of your mum's bin. Never mind barista - you can't win them all

[@guidohirschhaeuser]

My understanding of art is, you see it and you like it or not. It talks to you in a certain way or not. With Hodgkin, for me, it doesn’t work... sorry

[@trishahopkins8199]

I'm sure Howard gave two f*cks.....not!

[@obliquefrontline9415]

Cretins! Grow up and stop whining because Hodgkin doesnt comply with your expectations. His works have qualities nd charms that are not strictly logical. Hodgkin makes use of a creative illogic. A negative capability. He takea risks- not always successfuly but hes willing to try. Hes willing to be risk being seen as naive and immature. But Its his boldness and his playfulness that make his work so poetic and fulfilling to experience. Like it or not- Hodgkin will continue to be an important artist for a very long time.

[@gloobnord]

Some painting, and it doesn't matter if it's abstract or figurative, is just not interesting. These paintings fall into that category in my opinion. They look as if Hodgkin is trying to imitate abstract painting, but just can't get a grip on it.

[@MatthewBrowne1959]

Oh dear....your comment shows a deep lack of understanding of painting...maybe better to keep it to yourself until so that you have time to study a bit more.

[@gloobnord]

@@MatthewBrowne1959 Oh, my goodness gracious.... your comment shows a profound lack of how to use a pallet to express ones vision.

[@ritamonaco8062]

gloobnord you maybe meant a palette...not a pallet?

[@gloobnord]

@@ritamonaco8062 I'm using the ancient Aramaic spelling.

[@adamblackshaw9151]

I really can't engage with his work at all. I like what he says but it just isn't IN the work.

[@dlc8281985]

all the people on here calling this good and works of art are no doubt british. They are so hard up for credible artists that they will try to push out all kinds of shit. This is a prime example of the british marketing machine gone awry.... smudge this shit some where else

[@MontyCantsin5]

Any proof at all to back up your unsubtantiated ramblings?

[@brianboreham604]

Wonderful, original work in the past but be honest. If he wasn't already successful & famous, do you really think any gallery would be brave enough to put these childish daubs on their walls & call them great art? It's all about money.

[@trishahopkins8199]

And you've painted what exactly? Probably nothing because you don't have the first idea

[@Frühobst]

biggest bullshit ever. without the stories these are just paintings thousand times made and seen before. and they are small, that makes it even worse. he is painting over the frame, wow. biggest idea ever and I ve seen this also before. the good old big brushstrokes...I am yawning. the ganges painting is the only acceptable one. sorry mr. hodkin.

[@MontyCantsin5]

You've seen thousands of artists who make work that looks just like Hodgkin's? Please do provide names; I'd like to see these paintings for myself.

[@Frühobst]

I am watching this channel: jameskalmroughcut he visits galleries etc. you can see a lot of this stuff there. of course with the stories about india and classical music etc it all seems so fancy, but without the story, just the painting as it is, doesnt look very special. ok he did the trick, that he paints the frame, but that s all. mute the video and take a look at the paintings again.

[@obliquefrontline9415]

Alexander Petrohv you seem very aggrieved. Angry at what the paintings are not rather than what they are. True- Hodgkin isnt a Turner or a Cole. His work is more simple and zen. But why get so mad when you see people treating them seriously. Chill out. Grow up.

[@lisengel2498]

I like the gestural approach - for me its not about whether its seen before - of course - like Music its possible to make a moment unique by the way you are present to it - there works Seem to have a very subtile sensualitet and presenceness - I can feel them even just in cyberspace - great video

[@EmlynBoyle]

Jealousy's a terrible thing Alexander. You seem like an awfully bitter, sad troll.

[@ThePolskiteddy]

Since about 1975 Hodgkin has produced some of the most sublime abstracts of the century. That said, he should have destroyed most of his output from the 50s and 60s which can be awful juvenile stuff! (one of my faves, Agnes Martin, had said the same of her early work and destroyed a lot of it - but she wished she had done all of it!)

[@justXaXcrushX]

ThePolskiteddy 40 odd years of ‘sublime abstracts’ has to be regarded as a good innings in any man’s language. And he had to do the earlier shite to get to the good stuff. Rothko’s early figurative stuff is equally dreadful.

[@jamesbogart]

Hodgkin is a fraud and comparing him to Matisse is laughable . Its just a scam.

[@EmlynBoyle]

Says the very creepy troll with all those Madeline McCann videos.

[@jamesbogart]

@@EmlynBoyle If you think they are creepy you should upload to your channel and be consistent.

[@trishahopkins8199]

Pretentious snob

[@jennyh5641]

Straight up crap. If this is considered good art why would there even be art classes and art schools? Just give everyone some paint and ask them to smear it all over a canvas without any direction, skill, or vision whatsoever

[@obliquefrontline9415]

Jenny H go make some jewellery, Jenny and stop wasting our time

[@cliffdariff74]

You're kidding right? No vision? Silly girl.

[@sumikosun]

Have you ever been in an art school?

[@EmlynBoyle]

Right Jenny, and I bet you can't even draw a circle. HH was a more than capable draughtsman and painter. Your comment is straight up, trollish crap.

[@stevenbodilly9350]

Truly poor work,I love abstract,but my god what a chancer

[@EmlynBoyle]

Steven The Troll, you're an an absolute nobody who's just plain jealous.

[@trishahopkins8199]

So where's your body of work exactly? In your mum's bin?

[@javiercifuentescasali5017]

Non imaginative painting,so boring,so small in creation!!!

[@EmlynBoyle]

More like you're non-imaginative, small and boring Javier.

[@comicjon82]

This is the kind of "art" that makes the general public make fun of artists, and the art world as a whole. It's ludicrous to call this accomplished on any level. Abstract painting can be worthwhile, but this is a joke, and he knows it.

[@sumikosun]

Really?

[@petermills2061]

comicjon82. You profess to have some understanding of abstract Art, 'Abstract painting can be worthwhile' . Well you clearly haven't got a clue !! Hodgkin is a true Master!

[@experi-mentalproductions5358]

Let's see you do better.

[@EmlynBoyle]

The only joke is your 11 subscribers Mr. Stand Up Comic. Stick to terrible comedy Jonathan. You're clueless on abstract art (despite you're claiming to be an expert).
