Breaking the Frame: In Conversation with Todd Gray
Todd Gray (b. 1954, lives and works in Los Angeles and Akwidaa, Ghana) is a photo-based artist known for his lush assemblages composed of framed, stacked photographs-with his largest spanning over 30 feet. His imagery ranges from imperial European gardens, West African landscapes, and architecture, to rock icons and self-portraits, all carefully arranged to create critical juxtapositions that examine ideas of African diaspora, colonialism, societal power structures, and dominant cultural beliefs. Gray earned his BFA and MFA from California Institute of the Arts in 1979 and 1989, respectively. Among his many awards and fellowships are the Bellagio Creative Arts Fellowship (2016), The Rockefeller Foundation (2016), John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship for Fine Arts (2018), and Rome Prize Fellowship, Visual Arts, American Academy in Rome, (2022-23). In this conversation with Kanitra Fletcher, the National Gallery's associate curator of African American and Afro-Diasporic art, learn about Todd Gray’s multidisciplinary practice and his innovative approach to photography. “Atlantic (Double Dutch)” (2022), an example of Gray’s “photo-sculptures,” is included in the National Gallery’s collection.

Joy, despair, ecstasy, tragedy: these are some of the themes that Mark Rothko sought to express in his luminous art. Rothko is renowned for his towering abstract paintings on canvas, but few people know that he also created nearly 1,000 paintings on paper over the course of his career. He viewed many of these as finished paintings in their own right-not simply preliminary studies intended for h...

Wonderful presentation! Thank you for talking about the Corcoran Collection.
It's pronounced Con-il-yano (gli = sounds like 'million')
I don't think the Holocaust should be the pivotal defining event of western culture. You have to ignore so many other atrocities to make that your reality.
Wonderful.
where is part 5 !
Am a self-taught artist and it amazing to see an artist that is inspiring I am from The Bahamas and a survivor of hurricane DORAIN and many other direct hit mega storms i did paintings about the subject . Its amazing manmade super storms disaster is a commodity. I have the painting Dorain posted on my Facebook and Instagram Under Rupert Watkins
Benjamin Binstock's book, " Vermeer's Family Secrets: Genius, Discovery, and the Unknown Apprentice" posits that Vermeer's daughter was his uncredited studio assistant. In "girl with a flute" it looks he gave her studio scraps to play with, an old panel, a ratty brush and some gritty paint.
I am absolutely speechless
"They have essentiality" What gobbledegook!
I've never found Robert Adams work to be artistic, compelling, or even technically competent. All this flowery language used to describe his pictures is just dishonest fabrication... Aka crap.
Nice lecture but this guy’s constant apparent sipping and smacking of lips makes my skin crawl. Couldn’t listen on 😂
Thank you for posting this
i could not going to paris. is in the future a new exhibition plant ?
Adam is great and more importantly funny! Such a perfect mix. More of him please!!
Her pieces are highly inspirational and extremely unique. Such an inspiration. Thanks for everything you have done Lorna!
I was so moved by his works when he had an exhibit at the High Museum in Atlanta. I love that he gave credit to the Creator/God for himself, being able to create. ❤ Rev. 4:11
23:50 "sorry for the sexism". What a soyboy-academic king-hell jerk remark about a painting.
"Probably"... 2001:Space Odyssey was fueled with Occultic symbology...once again Art's intellectual short sighted research is a laugh...
This is like a spoof of the art world except it's real. Of course they chose a woman and Black men to comment on the artist known for KKK imagery. Guston was art bro hipster slacker alcoholic and an absent father. He was a tumblr artist before tumblr and the art world taking him seriously is why I cannot take the art world seriously. Devin is a literal art troll at the expense of his own race and culture who has no respect for Black women at all. White women arts administrators placing these burn out creeps on a pedestal is very horse girl energy. All parties involved participating in racism and sexism via irony and that's just as bad. You cannot make commentary on horror by embodying said horrors and still believe you are insightful, artistic, or intelligent. You are a jerk.
Great video; this is one of the very best presentations on David Smith I've seen (and I've seen quite a few). I will come back and watch Part 1 at some point. When I was a kid, my best friend's father was a good friend of David Smith. As a young teenager I was fortunate enough to go with my friend to visit David Smith's farmhouse/studio in Bolton Landing, in upstate New York. David Smith had passed away a few years before in an automobile crash, but I think his widow still lived there and there were still dozens of his amazing sculptures spread out on the undulating fields of the property. I feel very lucky to have a pretty vivid memory of that day! By the way, I had never heard that story about Clement Greenberg stripping the white paint off of a Smith sculpture...Yikes! Whether or not the white paint was a primer coat or the intended final color is somewhat irrelevant, because it was clearly not intended to be unpainted.
stopped after 2.00 mins...Art museum people full of self importance... I rather enjoy Vermeer ( the important one )without listening to this nonsense and keep the mystery of Vermeer alive.
Tnx
i would love to go on a road trip with Ed Ruscha
bore
Excellent lecture, informative, insightful, well-written and well-said.
Poorly done!!!
One of my favorite living artists
Sublime!
Hilarious! "Dream team" ? Yeah righ! Luckily masterpiece paintings , such as these by Vermeer, long outlive the alterior motives and short sighted views of lesser mortals...
Very monotonous low pitch voice. Somewhat very boring, sorry to say

I recently went to this show. It is great. I had never seen his smaller works.
Sometimes art talks can be long and tedious but not this one. Very well done, lots of insightful information, well researched. I learned a great deal listening to this, and I am well-read on Rothko. As a bonus, some photos of the artist that I have never seen before. I am sure I will watch this again. Thank you for posting!
Note to self: stopped at 31:30
Oh NGA, how can you have such incredible, high quality content and be so bad at getting it to the masses.
"With words we can quibble." Bismarck
I saw the LV Paris exhibition, the one in Vienna, and St. Louis Museum of Art...Rothko's son is no public speaker, I have to say. His daughter did a better job walking us through her father's art in Rome and talking about the family trip there (15 years ago)
Christopher is lovely and has contributed so so much over the years, it’s very unfair to criticize him like this
Church: what an amazing painter.
I used to like her, but she doubts and dismiss everything ...and do not offer her own answers and solutions ( I did listen all 6 lectures)
Excellent and amazing exhibition. A mini Rothko retrospective.
Great video
Interesting analysis and conjectures spanning decades of dick art; so convoluted and still only two women mentioned and barely at that!!! Imagine how the mention of even a a decade of art created by anyone other than American men, would have changed this analysis of abstract art!!!
Beautiful 🤩
21:17 “…in fact the *eastern* stela of this configuration of stelae around this four-part building with four different entrances is not only the largest, it is also one with a few more dates and it tells us that this king came from somewhere else. Where did he come from? He came from a city that is oriented physically, with respect to Ceibal, over to the *west* …” Wait, why would a king coming from somewhere over to the _west_ be commemorated by a stela situated on the _east,_ especially when 22:13, say, kings presiding over kingdoms to the north come through the northern doorway? _[Edit:]_ And then the text on the screen 24:06 refers to “new dynasty from east.”
6:42 “…no exact provenience…” _Provenience_ refers to the “findspot” of an artifact, most often, the _in situ_ location at the time of archaeological discovery. _Provenance,_ in contrast, refers to the entire “chain of custody” from the artifact’s place of origin (or location of discovery) and its current location (e.g., a museum or a private collection).
Great video of a great artist ❤❤❤❤
Having viewed countless videos on the subject of ancient Rome over the years, I have to say that my two favorite presenters and historians are Mary Beard and Andrew Wallace-Hadrill. Both of them are very original thinkers not addicted to past interpretations and orthodoxies and who are excitingly enthusiastic about their subjects. Their rigorous honesty and senses of humor are admirable, and I am grateful to have encountered both of them in their videos (and, later, their writings).
Thoroughly-and surprisingly-compelling talk about an artist that I, like nearly everyone else on the planet, had never even heard of. The story of the detective work involved in uncovering the work of the artist Europe Anguissola and its actual subject, Bianca, the wife of Pietro Giovanni Schinchinelli is fascinating, marred by only the smallest of details: the six words of the response of Rossana Sacchi “You’ll be very happy to know…” 52:54 It works a lot better if Ms Sacchi’s response was “Her name was Bianca. Why do you ask?”
