You missed one, the one that bugs me - the concept of the struggling artist, the idea that the process is a constant challenge, blood sweat and tears; and that the art I produce is not authentic unless these qualities are present

One shouldn't forget van Gogh was an art insider, he had worked in an art gallery, his brother was a dealer and he knew many artists and was aware of the latest styles and theories of his time. If he had a different personality, lived longer and didn't have a sense of entitlement, which is clear to see in his letters to his brother, he would probably have died a rich and famous artist. Araki also likes to exhibit many of his photos without frames but is he a fine artist? It's debatable, he straddles, a pornographic, commercial and fine art world but he found success very early in his career and the context of much of his work is in books he produced. This video could really last for hours as one works through the careers of different artists but in general, the advice is common sense and one should never dwell on famous artists too much as it can make a young artist depressed and wondering is there any chance for him/her. I think most older artists have been there, I remember having to work through the depression of "what is the point" myself and eventually getting to the point that making my own work and not worrying about others is the most important thing. Being pragmatic and not blaming the art world for your failures is important.

Agree except with sense of entitlement which is clearly an asset when it doesn’t alienate the wrong people.

I definitely agree when it comes to Van Gogh and Araki and I would want to highlight your last sentence in bold here: "be pragmatic and don't blame the art world for your lack of success." Thank you as always for another valuable contribution!

I laughed to see VanGogh’s portrait looking out from the video artwork with this title. Especially based on further truths about his life and your mentions of fine, subtle details to be aware of. Consciousness is a life mastering trait… bringing it to interesting and skilled works of art by anyone of any age would be a good standard to reflect on. I agree, using this point in terms of our own artwork is vital… without over-intellectual -izing things. Thank you. Nice new glasses…it’s a joy to keep up with happenings with you and CAI. Hope you are having fun keeping up with the little one there… who must be well on her way to getting around on her own! In appreciation, sincerely, Janet.✨🙏🍌🖼️ ps… I too this year have been making works that are meant to arise from the white of the walls. I wasn’t aware of this Artist who has the same intentions. I’ll make considerations when it comes to showing them. I wonder… perhaps it’s considered a trend… about this fashion of hanging paintings from a rod. At times it’s Asian and traditional in feel… other times draws on a raw, natural sense… no stretcher…fabric or canvas just put on the wall, or akin to a hanging ‘tapestry’…Do you know what I mean? Thank you. Have a great Monday.

Dear Janet, thank you as always. Thank you for the compliment, love the new glasses. Our baby girl is indeed becoming a real toddler, crawling everywhere, standing up, and trying to walk with some help. Interesting indeed when paintings hang from a rod, it has indeed been a trend that emerged along with textile art. Wishing you the very best with your creative experiments! Cheers, Julien

the premise that most artists achieve success is unfortunately flawed. while few achieve success posthumously or very late and those stories are sensational might be true, most artists don’t achieve success at all is the more accurate premise

life hack : как продать одну картину два раза, а если серьезно то я придумала концептуальную выставку, одна и та же картина ( и как минимум диптих, но можно до почти бесконечности), ну и висят рядом 2 или более ОДИНАКОВЫЕ картины под РАЗНЫМИ названиями : "" окно" , " яблоко" , ... смотря что на картине изображено🤗 . И еще , на данный момент уже известно кто такой Бэнкси?

Everone who can google knows who the person behind Banksy is. I find it tiring that the general art world seems to persist in this marketing gimmick that he’s anonymous. An alias is fine, it’s just this myth building that his identity is secret that is getting old.

The myth building is not necessarily done by the art world in my opinion, as he is predominantly successful outside of the art world and in popular culture.

When you start learning the craft, start with drawing, then paint and don't look at other painters. Whether you will become famous is not important, but at least make sure you know your craft.If you want to talk a lot about 'ART' write a book, paintings should tell their own story, the rest is bullshit.

Difficult to master your craft without learning from the masters though. Art history is an ongoing conversation. One needs to listen before one can truly take part.

For God’s sake stop to patronize people with your “smart “ advises treating them like idiots who can not read, analyze …and make own decisions about possible art career. With this video you became one of millions KZbinR who are telling people that left is on the same side as left arm ( only if they watched one of KZbin channels to learn distinction between left and right) .

If you think you can make a real living making and selling art, forget it. Do art, but do not give up your day job. You will need that to afford art materials unless you come from a rich family. And the likelihood you will sell is slim unless you are a rare talented artist with your own vision. Most just repeat what they have been taught, i.e. not unique, and do it badly. Sorry for the truth.
@DavidSoto-et8yj3 күн бұрын
tbh this really depends on the person, their situation and where they are. A lot of artists I know do a mix of teaching classes/lessons, privately selling, art & craft markets, commissions, and galleries. Of course there’s usually hustling involved but they can support themselves through mostly art-making!
@careyyost49812 күн бұрын
Like many things art is a meritocracy (with caveats). If you devote your life to it and have enough time invested and are clever with (and similarly devoted to) marketing it’s not nearly so inaccessible as this. Think of the ways you can support yourself: commercial work, film & video, teaching, commissions, portraits sign flyer and poster design.. If you are an exceptional artist you will see exceptional results. That’s what it’s all about, no?
