Always always refreshing to hear George in conversation about art in general and particularly his drawing practice. We are lucky to have his talent and his perception of art. He is incredibly down to earth, matter of fact and engaging at the same time.

I was thinking the same thing about listening to George Condo talking about art and his process. There's no "art mumbo-jumbo". I can actually understand what he's saying and it really makes sense.

Thank you for this!

[@raineterno8370]

I can see some similarities amongst Condo's art and Philip Guston's style. Both artists are very inspirational. 😊

At 14:06 the irony is Picasso was inspired after seeing African sculptures to push cubism. There photos of him with the African works at the time.

Really?

[@edwardferry8247]

Picasso was thinking about El Greco, Cezanne came from El Greco too.

I wish I could listen to this. I have misophonia which makes every tongue click from the moderator like an ice pick in my ear. I'm pretty alone on this one I know. tongue clicks are like audio bullet points and loads of people use them. They've become very fashionable

Lmaoo honestly a big fan of George and you’re not missing much I didn’t get any take away points or insight in these 50 minutes, except for George condo being denied ketchup at a restaurant that was funny otherwise I could’ve gone without listening to this
