Maggi Hambling - 'Every Portrait is Like a Love Affair' | Artist Interview | TateShots

[@blicky_bobby]

My spirit animal. She actually makes me excited about growing older and continuing my craft.

[@rachelg.8459]

I love; "If you're going to be an artist you must make your work your best friend..." yes I feel that. & "Every portrait is a bit like a love affair" and so so much more in this video that I plan to play over & over. Lovely.

[@Don.Challenger]

Maybe also taken in panorama (in whole field view) that might be rephrased to: "If you're going to be alive (or act so) you must make yourself a best friend"

[@brenttaylordotus]

"Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave." another great Brancusi quote

[@bankruptbritain6103]

I like that

[@driscollmichaelmd]

The World requires more people like Maggie Hambling.

[@KeepItRollingForLife]

i knew when she lit that cig this would be a good one

[@cdgarcia]

Best comment I’ve seen in awhile

[@gregorymorss8178]

With a combination of ‘oh no not another fucking one’ and ‘oh, go on then’

[@darksun3525]

🤣

[@Trusid]

Haha 😆 👍🏼

I’m 72 1/2. Been wondering how I could ever stop I’m so driven to paint or pout. Maggie says it...”unlike tennis players or ballet dancers we don’t ever have to stop”. She looks strong despite her cigarette and vital. Our work keeps us kickin! Her work is simply mind boggling.

[@lizbrown2925]

Love Maggie Hambling, I picked her as one of my inspiration artists when doing a level art. Her work is so expressive and yet captures the essence of a subject so well.

[@edwardfortae2350]

Absolutely fantastic. I've never had the pleasure to see her before now.

[@jennifergottliebel-azhari149]

GREAT artist and so damn cool as a person

[@waynemoran9101]

I love this lady. Pure motherly with a dash of your best friend added. Brilliant artist honesty bluntly true.

[@alisonhorton2180]

Unapologetically forthright and beautiful in her work .. fascinating

[@abstractbybrian]

I love: @ 5:10 once you make one mark then you probably have to make several hundred more. Very tough to leave it alone sometimes!

[@rayygun]

agree , its the hardest thing, its the art.

[@kickthefog198]

Her work is unsettling I love it.

[@richie6921]

The ability to express what is in your mind and put it on paper like this is an incredible gift. Because what is in your mind is only based upon what is real and enhanced in such a way that only someone who can directly put it on paper we can all see what is in her head. A photograph can not do this, because it can only take pictures in real life

[@백설이-y3o]

Her work is a good energy that makes me live harder.

[@alysfreeman11]

just love this woman...her own person...

[@ghoulie1313666]

You made me cry and happy at the same time. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you...

[@cliffdariff74]

Love her work, sculpture and painting... she's a creature of sorts...lurking around, groveling with her feelings.

[@elizabethwaggett6650]

She’s fantastic and so real

[@poo-nahnay3514]

What an incredible woman an artist. Beautiful and humbling.

[@hayleyanna2625]

[@youngiansorted1255]

I truly love this woman.

[@maureencalder9911]

All power to Maggie - love her outlook on life!!

[@lvan_studio]

Omg her work is so beautiful, in a widest possible sense of the word. I was literally laughing and crying.

[@sharongibson3673]

One more time Maggi is a true legend , I would most definitely spend some time with this woman .

[@petersolomon5227]

Wonderful Maggie Hambling. I confer: every work of art is like an affair, and every affair an elusive work of art.

[@davidmayhew8083]

Deeply engaged work. And engaging. Love her.

[@rinitabanerjee3075]

A short video, and yet the few words the artist speaks hold such power and insight.

[@PinkSallyProductions]

I like what she said about 'buggering about' when talking about the process of painting

[@oliavolha]

What an incredible woman 💞

[@elisavieira737]

The last painting of this video is amazing I love

[@sharongibson3673]

Tate these are some true jems wow , wow wow . God bless you.Thank you for sharing .

[@Tate]

[@shreeyatyagi]

Pure love and respect!

[@jamieroberts269]

Thank you for introducing us!

[@BRASISEX]

I Heard her before on the british museum interview.. i love her style I imedately can reckonize her painter imediately for her unic brushsbroke on canvas

[@lisengel2498]

I love your very raw and at the same time totally sensitive way of approching whatever you do. It seems to open into deep experience of life, death, mystery. It is so alive, so intense even if it is just here in youtube that I have seen your work-

[@johannebeerbaum1546]

Some of He paintings are extraordinary!!

[@lisalovelylpa]

Saw one minute of this and knew I love your art. Yes, get rid of oneself so the art can come through , so valid. Winks Lisa

[@ookiiani]

I adore her, she's great

[@patrickbell4314]

The cigarette. The hair. The artist!! A painting can come alive and die many many times....she said.

[@zahraroo9695]

Love you tate😭❤️

[@sentient24]

It seems like each moment and stroke of her work on the paintings had true significance, it was not arbitrary. It shows.

[@DavidPuckArtist]

Lovely video, the energy and pacing is really nice. Maggi is such a great artist and fascinating speaker :)

[@danielroperartist]

02:55 Yes, how do you know when a painting is finished - More could always be done - but a feeling washes over knowing when enough is enough.

[@keatsgipsy9991]

Always such inspiration

[@mattbray_studio]

Maggie is the real deal. legend

[@KevinRusso]

Fantastic insights.

[@johannebeerbaum1546]

The laughing man with the yellow back rough is the epitome of joy at it's pinnacle

[@danielgomezart]

Absolutely fabulous art.

[@AlexanderVerney-Elliott-ep7dw]

Maggi Hambling is our greatest living painter

[@theredpilgrim]

What a World-class Painter!! Awesome

[@marcs.1138]

HELPFUL FOR SOME FOLKS: she talked about the state of being ready to let art spread through you or something. i heard something the other day, where an artist said - its not that important. so try that out. just dont give a flying fock about how its gonna end up in the first place and that might help you to be more free about what you do. helps you to get there with love and stuff uknow? its all about that you do it. thats it. the universe will reveal itself through you if you let yourself be cool with it.

[@marcs.1138]

of course im not speaking against what she said about the love affair with your picture. im a fuckin perfectionist too and it can be quite difficult sometimes. but on the other hand that can be the fun about it too. to put it in a nutshell - do what u feel.

[@riahreginald]

Deeply in love with the biology miss who was invigilating the exam. That could be new netflix special!

[@vela-rn2jz]

I love her

[@deborahmeyers7839]

Thanks, Donna!

At 01:58, out of that early morning mist a true visitation ("this image of my father") of that muse/the beyond. At 04:36, the second from left is clearly a camel's head with human shaped (or just drooping? ". . . certain, uncertainty about . . .") ears.
