Elizabeth Peyton: Faces Contain Their Time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лис 2015
- "I really like how people contain their time, in their faces." Meet the American artist Elizabeth Peyton in this interview about her interest in the power of the individual in the middle of history, and her fascination with love, creativity and the face.
New York and Berlin based painter Elizabeth Joy Peyton (b.1965) is an American artist best known for her stylized and idealized portraits of her close friends and boyfriends, pop celebrities and European monarchy. In this interview Peyton talks about how personality affects the features of a face. How one person can change the world, and how people are part of history, and "make their own time". People constantly change, which is why it's interesting to capture them in a specific moment, she says.
"I get excited by people who makes things" Peyton explains. Artists are heroic, because they are vulnerable and risk a lot. Peyton's paintings are about the people she is inspired by and admires, and hopefully her paintings will inspire others to also aspire to greatness, she adds.
The focus of Elizabeth Peyton's work is the small-scale portrait. Her work is most often executed in oil paint, with glazes that are sometimes encouraged to drip, but she also does watercolor, drawings and etchings. Peyton has exhibited around the world and her work has been included at the 1995 Venice Biennale, MoMA PS1 in 2000, and the 2004 Whitney Biennial.

“The better the artist the more vulnerable there making themselves and to be vulnerable you have to risk a lot personally”
Even if you’d like to argue her art isn’t technically impressive it has a magic of honesty and purity and I would argue anyone saying her artistic talent isn’t good is missing the whole point her art evokes emotions for some people if it doesn’t for you then you have to accept art is purely subjective and as long as people like it it’s impressive even if it’s not technically impressive
her art is definitely technically impressive though
perfectly explained
She is a very beautiful soul
Great artist! A great philosopher and a great master of his craft.
I have just met this, and yes it is real beautiful, the story of her and the way she tells it is beautiful, as well.
I love the way she paints lip(stick). That is her signature stamp. Love her paintings 😍!
her paint GLOWS !
Don't agree with her about the royals, but I like her art and the way she talks about it, really interesting! Also amazing background music :)
Finally. A young artist on the show.
Born in 1965.

Traducción de
cuando era más joven estaba pintando personas, imaginaba a la gente todo el tiempo y, a medida que crecía un poco, cuando fui a la escuela, se volvió un poco más concentrado estaba leyendo balzac estaba leyendo flow barre estaba sintiendo ilusiones perdidas comencé a enfocarme más en el tipo de mundo que me interesaba y me refiero a tomar fotografías de personas. Leí un libro sobre Napoleón de vicente cronin cuando probablemente tenía 24 años y simplemente cambió mi vida. Había algunos había un retrato en la portada. eso fue hecho por el barón gros y era de Napoleón cuando él era, creo que el segundo teniente, su cabello aún era largo, era joven y era como una especie de toma de convertirse en lo que era y no sé por qué La primera vez que lo entendí realmente entendí que la gente cuenta su historia, sabes que la gente una persona realmente puede cambiar el mundo a veces de una manera realmente mala, pero a veces de una manera excelente y la gente hace eso en sus comunidades todo el tiempo también una persona lo hará realmente puede afectar s o mucho consciente e inconscientemente y creo que comenzó a hacerme pensar en la historia de esa manera que la gente contiene su tiempo.
cuanto mejor es el artista, más vulnerable se hace y para ser vulnerable hay que arriesgar mucho la personalidad.
i love her work
Great work !
Great pants.
free will, original sin
What song is this pkaying in the Background?
Paul Panter walnuts & waltz - Rumpistols
"You know"
Figures look a bit similar to those of Hernan Bas.
She was right about Harry!
@MattGarstka
I like the artist, i like their work and i like the video, but dear lord the music in the background is like listening to someone chew food with their mouth open lol.
Agreed
''You know ?''
Literally every interview of every artist on this channel.
50 years old at the time, and not a single white hair. A. M. A. Z. I. N. G.
Sorry but I don’t get it. Technically she is a bit above beginners level. The expression is kitsch. Painting artsy people from photographs, and flowers. Everything she says comes off as pretentious bs „prince harry is such an angel“ „people change over time“ really? So deep.
Look at the painting at 9:39 min. Isn’t that from twilight movie? She comes off like a16 year old who just discovered, that there is more than anime and Justin Bieber out there in terms of artistic expression. People seem to treat it as some deep art. I guess she knows the right people.
Hating on things just cause they’re popular with teenage girls is isn’t cool anymore😐 , it’s not 2010 anymore
Stop dude. Art isn't a compition about who's more advanced than who. Art is an expression of thoughts and emotions. No one's thoughts and emotions are wrong.
I like her honesty, and her style. I don't care if she's at any level because her art is original and comes from the way she experiences it. Just enjoy it, or don't. She brings artistic beauty into the world, don't denigrate that.
저 손바닥 드로잉은 뭐냐 개어이없네 진짜 ㅋㅋ
개털린 기분이다 ㅎㅎ
나만 잘 그리려고 애쓴거냐 나만 바보냐 ㅋㅋ
Lotta sexism still lingering in the art world...
Copying photographs means your a photocopier and not a painter
John Castle Totally disagree, she makes paintings from photographs which is not copying and absolutely normal for an artist from the 21st century, many great artists like bacon worked from photographs. Plus she’s painting in her personal style & techniques.
John Castle God you're stupid. Also it's "you're" not 'your a'. How many fucking times has that mistake been made and then corrected and yet still...
@@khm2917 Bacon worked with live models generally, and when he copied he didn't copy mechanically, they were jumping off points. This woman's work is nice, but not my taste personally. I feel it lacks depth and I wouldn't put her anywhere near the level of Bacon.
Auriflamme obviously I wasn’t comparing her to bacon, I’m comparing her technique of painting from photographs with many great artists like Gerhard Richter, Luc Tuyman, Francis Bacon etc...
I understand that you’re not a big fan of her work but you can’t deny her artistic importance and influence. She’s one of my favorite artists of all time and she inspired many people like me.
Many of the greatest painters since the 1880s have used photographs as material to copy from ,including Whistler ,George Clausen, Samuel Butler, Fredrick Goodall.
Perhaps the most pretentious and overrated artist of our time.
Matteo One why you’re calling her “pretentious” ?? She’s one of the best artists working nowadays & one of my favorite of all time
Matteo One her artworks are simply beautiful
@@khm2917 Technically everyone is one of the best 'X'.
as artists we dont owe anyone to be humble, art is within our heads, our perceptions, its not necessarily all about the work we put out.
Another naff female "artist", along with Stella Vine, Rachael Whiteread, Rita Kahlo, Sandra Blow, plus others whose names I thankfully don't remember.
Who is this?.....Is this Jeff Koons?....Jeff honey,did you fall of the wagon again?.....cause
it's really so unlike you to keep leaving such
hateful comments.
You really have changed.
...The Bottle is not your Friend....
It brings out a very nasty side of you.
Just so you know,...I have had enough!....Im filing for divorce asshole.
Truly,
Liona
Another shit for brains youtube commenter.
There are plenty of naff male artists out there. Her gender has nothing to do with her artistic ability or inspiration.
