Thank you Cesar for the video. I think theres a movement of artist coming out against the modern art machine of junk. Theres a lot of "artist" that can't do what you do so they tried to destroy it over the years or big wigs with money but no brains that wanted to re shape the industry. When I went to school for fine art they tried making me throw crap at the canvas and couldn't teach me anything worth while so I dropped out and went into the service. I hear stories like this a lot and its sad. After 11 years I'm still trying on my own and thank the new wave of artist on youtube that make videos like yours. Better seeing your videos then wasting money at most colleges for "art"

You're idea of art is the same idea of art back in the Renaissance. Don't be angry other individuals are trying the progress the medium while you hold onto out dated ideas and beliefs. Why is it such a big deal this individual can paint a portrait like a photo? We have cameras that can do the same thing but better. Art has no other direction but to be pushed into different boundaries and ideas. Van Gough work was scoffed at for being impression and not "life like". Now he is considered one of the most influential painters in the world. You're ideology is exactly like those who scoffed at his work. I'm glad you did drop out of art school, because judging by your opinion you didn't pay any attention and would have taken your cancerous beliefs and plague the art community with them.

Finally a great and talented artist who voiced just how I've felt about my art for years and I wish I would have heard him when I was younger. I used to just listen to the kind of artist you mentioned and put my art on a shelf to work at a regular job, being miserable. My love for art started when I was two years old and my parents gave me a small easel and paint set. now I'm older and my husband wants me to satisfy my desire to paint realism that I love to do. Thank you so much for putting this artist out there for us.

Thank you Cesar and Matthew for keeping the classical traditions alive. As a composer, I ran into the same garbage philosophy from the "academics" regarding the need to be "expressive" (i.e. modern and hard to listen to). As a result, I went in a different direction professionally and only wrote music for my own enjoyment. Cesar and Matthew were brave enough to follow their dreams into reality. Cheers!

Wow i thought i was alone. Something similar is happening to me where professors and students always make me feel bad about my classical art ( or bullied it). by saying the same exact two words=that has been done or you need to be more expressive. i starting asking my self what was i doing wrong because proportion, perspective and color are not bad and my still life and portraits look almost realistic. They never have anything to say about all the details and how well done the artwork is, but they just ignore it or say those famous words ( it has been done and more expressive). Thank you for such inspiring documentary.
@theguythatwillmakeit5 жыл бұрын
Sounds like jealously to me, I am not familiar with the ways within art school. But it sounds your doing something well, in my experience people only have something negative to say when that what they judge impressive. Think of it like this, if something is not worth talking about people usually don’t spend much time contemplating. When we as humans see something that reaches beyond our expectations, we are provoked. We realize that what is possible within the realms of art, we get anxious. Because it is one last reminder of what we could do as humans and simultaneously we remember it takes hard work an dedication. It takes energy to reach a certain level and as humans we are lazy, so instead of improving ourselves we play down other peoples work. So we feel better. So be proud, if people have opinions about you and your work you evoked their feelings.

"That's been done before"- I heard the same thing in my college. What is it? When you became a college art professor do you get a script or something?
@Ethanmor4 жыл бұрын
That was the same thing we were told forty-five years ago. It is in a sense a script. Its taken me a lifetime to understand how all this wonderful training and traditions were destroyed in such a short time. The rise of modernism did not have to mean the destruction or near destruction of the classical tradition, but it did. Both types of art can co-exist, but the modernists were in a sense the first proponents of a sort of cancel culture, they simply espoused this notion that because its "all been done before," that there was no reason to ever draw or paint realistically again. And, its seldom challenged. The idea that painting realistically should ever be abandoned because others have painted figuratively is preposterous, the same claim could have been made in 1800 or 1700 or 1600 had someone broken the mold and come out with neo-primitivism or abstraction then. But the birth of the modern coincided with the early art history classes, with the early art critics and because they almost all came from the avant garde, their views were institutionalized. It all trickled down from the influential schools like Harvard and Yale that had these classes (Oxford did not even offer an art history degree until about forty years ago) and so the "been there, done that" attitude became universal. It didn't matter where you took Art History 101, the same "Impressionism good, Academics and tradition bad," shorthand was what you heard. And, almost no professor even knew what academic training entailed because they had no interest and almost nothing was written about it. There were a few like Albert Boime and Gerald "Jerry" Ackerman who came around to do it in the last forty years. In general if you were a more traditionally oriented painter who had no established his reputation by about 1895-1900, you were simply forgotten, not worth anything because the bulk of your career was superseded (in the art establishment's view) by modernism. The American artist Kenyon Cox was one who defended and wrote about the classical tradition, he was part of what is now described as "The American Renaissance" with artists and sculptors such as St. Gaudens and Abbott Thayer. So, the techniques of the classical school were kept alive by just a few artists in the West (classical instruction was alive in the Soviet Union in St. Petersburg and Moscow) by painters such as Theodore Lukits in California, Mrs. Simi in Florence and R.H. Ives Gammell and his students in Boston and then Minneapolis. The classical methods can be used to express anything the painter wants to express, there is no limit to an artist's imagination and of course we still listen to operas and symphonies that were composed hundreds of years ago played by artists who learned classical techniques, so painting using these tools is just as valid today as it ever was.

Thank you for your film, Subscribed cheers : ) I think he's correct with modern art schools today. I enjoyed my time in both further and higher art school, I had wonderful teachers My graffiti background helped me, though some tutors would try to change my natural desire to paint realism, It still screws my head I long to paint urban street culture there's a 1000 different stories each day, I also want to paint politics. I need a studio for the large canvases in oil & Spray paint mix media etc. But going back to ceasar. He's so right about how many tutors want you to basically become offspring of their art usually conceptual art. usually trying to pull you from what your own style and art. You're already paying good money to learn about how and what techniques you want to hear or be inspired to produce art., Ceasar has so much style and gift and has that rebellious nature that I think is healthy as an artist.
