brilliantly interesting, many of my favourite artists and some I have never heard of

Glad you enjoyed it 😄 and allowed you to expand your knowledge 👌🏻💥💯

Wow, Nery nice !

Thanks 💯😀

[@tedwallen4056]

B A N K S Y. Thanks for putting this collection together.

Thanks for this! 💯💥😁

[@selwynr]

Quite a few of these artists aren't really painters. Maybe rename the video "ARTISTS"? Also, Cai is pronounced "tsigh", more or less. Also, Thomas Ruff shows John Currin's work. No Australian artists? Well, I enjoy your having some aggressive fun pronouncing the artist's names.

[@SkywalkerPaul]

😅

[@fireflyeloise3528]

Yea where are the contemporary Australian Aboriginal artists?

[@ObserveArtAdvisory]

@@fireflyeloise3528that’s a great question! It would be ideal to cover as many continents as possible when addressing international art scene. ❤ Thank you for your video its a great example for trending art topics.😊

[@message_service]

Excellent!! Thank you so much🙏 🌞👍🌟

[@artpatico]

You are very welcome!! 😄💥

[@Karen-jv2gh]

Gerhard Richter??! He should be in the top 10, let alone the top 100. Appreciate the work that’s gone into this, though, thank you.

[@fireflyeloise3528]

Yes he should

[@Saskia2602]

Alfie, you look terrific! I never thought you were a day over five. Happy Birthday!

[@XXOOjg]

Good list!!! but I will add few more. Miquel Barceló, Antonio López Garcia, Abraham Lacalle, Eduardo Naranjo...etc

[@artpatico]

Thanks! 💯🔥 will definitely take these names into account in the future!

[@laotseu2003]

Merci beaucoup c'est très intéressant. Enormement de peintres que j'ai aimé et que j'apprécie encore (Il y a Louise bourgeois mais je n'ai pas vu Basquiat ?). Avec ce cumul on se rend compte qu'ils font tous en fait la même chose et que rien n'a avancé depuis Duchamp et Dada. En fait en tant qu'artiste cela me montre tout ce qu'il ne faut pas faire.

[@tumblingrosesstudio]

Judy Chicago recognized? Instant new sub!

[@artpatico]

Thanks!🎉

[@Eiqiu]

And not only photo artists but also performers or installation artists...

[@cortezcabret9408]

Great video. (Btw it’s Banksy, not Bansky😅)

Thanks! 💯🔥 well noted!

Have I overlooked Gerhard Richter or have you actually forgotten him?

yeah it certainly seems like an odd choice of artist to leave out?? strange..

He wasn't forgotten. He was bumped to make room, like Stella.

[@Rose_333_Buds]

#33 is not Bansky, his name is Banksy

[@dohduhdah]

Thanks for the video. You have to be careful these days when searching for art, because often you will find AI generated garbage (like the artwork purported to be by Fang Lijun shown at 1:33:21).

[@roman-r3w2o]

This is great. But no Julian Schnabel? Any particular reason why he wasn't included here?

[@mrpaupie]

Not sure, but my best guess is that his work is just too mediocre.

[@frankpapandrea1]

is this in importance order?

[@reyannie7940]

Some of these surely are great art, some are meticulous self-absorbing experiments, some playful piecing together into some sort of “tapestries” waste and recycled/found items and whatever there is, and a number of works presented here are downright insignificant and ugly. Thanks for putting these together. Great perspective.

[@TheUntypicals]

Could do with chapters 😊

[@TomHendricksMusea]

Most modern art substitutes weird for quality, narrow isms for scope, and trendy for depth. It also refuses to change or even talk about progressive ideas in art like those that follow Too many treat art as a marketing scheme. Modern art has become a trendy clique and the art now is mostly over promoted footnotes to greater art that was done 100 years ago. But art is too important to be reduced to a trendy clique. Post-ism, is art for a new century, not a continuation of last century trends. 1 Mass Market Paintings like Prints. When any art form is mass marketed it enters a golden age. This has happened with books, records, and film. Let's add paintings. Most art is in storage in museum basements. Mass Marketing allows art to tour in copies and allows artists to make royalties on copies. Why do you think the world gets so excited about a new great book, record, or film; but no one cares about a new great painting? All are mass produced except the painting. 2. End a Century of Isms. Dump the genres and formulas and let all kinds of art be a part of the art world. 3. Shift Emphasis From Trendy to Quality. Shift emphasis from the latest trendy art, to quality art in any style. Just because art is weird does not mean it is great art. 4. Free the Art From Museums and Galleries. Get the art out of the ivory elitist museum and gallery towers and back into the world. Have city art centers open to all artists. Make art that is relevant and communicates with people. Start with the first generation of artists online. 5. Postism is Part of a Bigger Revolution. Postism is part of the bigger art and media revolution out of Dallas, that includes art, music, lit, film, media, and a lot more. 6. Postism online: Online artists are the new wave of art. We had all the isms of last century. Now we have a free for all, of all kinds of artists, that are not sanctioned by any museum or gallery, displaying their work. Out of that comes the next wave and revolution of artists. Last century the goal was to fit the ism. This century the goal is to do great art - no ism, no boundaries. Fractionalized art then, synchronized art now. Even calling something modern art is a type of ism that separates that art from the art of the past. The 20th century was a century of experimentation in art. Now in the 21st we can choose from all those styles and / or start one of our own. Then too if someone devises a way to charge and collect a penny per view on a webpage, that would allow any great artist to get money for their art and have a career without any middlemen. Duchamp broke ground 100 years ago - but now his clones are just shoveling dirt. Weird art is easy, you put a strip of raw bacon across an expensive violin, but it's not good art. Join the art revolution and pull the art world out of last century. Musea since 1992.

[@onecloudpoetry]

hardly any PAINTERS in this list

[@gstavella]

Rauschenberg, Johns, Richter???

[@AI-xs4fp]

What is the purpose of showing 100 PAINTERS and then doing sculptors and photographers? Why do you present Thomas Ruff but show John Currin's paintings? It's misleading

[@ITcanB]

Louise Bourgeois has passed away 1911- 2010 she was 99 years old ❤

[@TomHendricksMusea]

Graceful? Elegant? Beautiful? Charming? Enchanting? Warm? Loving? Attractive?

[@b00k13tub3]

#55 is painter John Currin, not Thomas Hartung.

[@108metaphors]

No selection criteria provided. Appears to be AI generated and riddled with errors as others have noted. Still good-if flawed-overview of contemporary art.

[@fireflyeloise3528]

Some of theae artists are not living eg Louise Bourgeois

[@alexiskiri9693]

Your list is missing a lot of great painters and has a lot of artists who are not painters.

[@1on1Animation]

Why did you use the word PAINTERS??? I think there’s only about 12 painters out of 100.😏

[@jvivant]

It's Banksy, not Bansky. Strange, because in kzbin.info/www/bejne/imjQe3pmjJ50jZo (17:27) you name him right...

[@Art_Travel_and_Hobbys]

👍🏿

[@Futuristbillpicone]

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Bill Pico-1

[@marypartridge5154]

There are few painters here. Really none of these people leave me inspired and I dont want to sound like a moron or bogan but most of this is a big load of bullshit. And it leaves me feeling I dont even know what to say. All of them trying desperately trying to be profound and nobody has the guts to say most of it is awful. I think we all have to start again

[@ShakirovUa]

Ilia Kabakov is Ukrainian born artist!

[@johnconn982]

Just glitz and glossy, no way to relate to for me. However, I think we need a new term to use so we don’t have to call it art.

[@LanNguyen-kw5rf]

Thomas Ruff is photographer-Artist !?

[@wolfsonn4061]

I went through the video, at what point do the artists come in? If the stuff you are showing is the art of today, why have I seen this kind of stuff 20 years ago - it is just repetition and only because of the short memory of people in the art scene does it seem as if it is present activity - or maybe because it's just not worth remembering.

[@artpatico]

Well, sometimes it takes an artists’ lifetime to develop their art and/or a specific style. If out of these 100 artists representing our lifetime you find nothing valuable, please let us know what you believe are better alternatives! Always happy to debate!

[@Eiqiu]

And why are photo artists listed here as painters?

[@PpinkasArp]

flawed list - many names spelt incorrectly, many are not painters and you don't include Gerhard Richter ...

[@eenkjet]

All those also-rans bumped Frank Stella? I don't think this is a serious list.

[@FrancoisMouton-iu7jt]

Watched untill no 60 and gave up. Could not find a single artist among them. It smacks of gee-gaws where the only redeeming feature is novelty.

[@frankblangeard8865]

What is the average age of these 'contemporary' artists. I watched a KZbin video of twelve contemporary american artists and found that the average age was 73. I am not going to calculate the average age of 100 contemporary artists.

[@lightsight3991]

Top 100, one man’s opinion doesn’t make it so, …”living now”…at least 3 of those mentioned are long gone from this reality…and the slightly or over mispronounced names…ouch!

While I wanted to like this, the consistly misspelled names, monotonously bland narrative and frankly disingenuous and banal delivery is obviously that of a poorly informed "AI" authorship. Go back abd try again. There is already too muchod this kind of pseudoscholarly pablum out there.

Top of what?

[@goodoverevil1617]

Let me guess, more contemporary expressionism.. haha let's forget the real talent that separates the real artist from the hacks looking to describe their work with cheap tricks and fancy words. Let the trust be known through realism. The study of humanity through observation of truth. Not manipulating people through words or cheap tricks that died with Warhol

[@cliffdariff74]

Actually dude, there wasn't any expressionism or abstract expressionist to speak of.. At least we know now you didn't watch the video.. haha.
