Hey can someone help me out- How do you write the authors name he is talking about? 'Degger'? The one he mentions talking about 'self', 'experience' and 'the essence of beeing'? Thanks :))
That is exactly why he is a poor artist uncapable of making a portait with strength. He seems to me that he is a wealthy guy, with contacts and with lots and lots of blablabla.
Boy it’s amazing listening to other artist and hearing how they process and think and how similar it Is to the way you think etc. its actually comforting because you feel less alone.
George Condo is a brilliant artist, also a very generous one, he shares his vision and approach in tangible ways that most have not - I'm thankful for that....
He made me feel like I’m not crazy as an Artist, I love creating art and putting it together like a puzzle with a wondering mind. I see the world very colorful, fun and magical even when it’s not like that and that’s the type of art I like to create. Thank you for making me feel like my creative mind is not mental but just creative.
I too, always thought that making art was like putting together a puzzle...how can I solve it, how can I make it work... Others seem to have a visual perception of what they want to do before they start, but I think it's the journey, or the challenge of solving the unfinished that makes creating worthwhile.
This seriously aligns with my vision of art. It's great to hear someone put into words everything in my mind about this. This video encapsulates everything that a lot of the world doesn't understand about art. There is no ''better'' art, there are no rules to art. Art is pure self-expression and that is what makes it the truth.
Julie Delves do you know what a draftsman is? How can you consider this man a “wonderful” one? Have you seen a Dürer, perhaps? He is a “wonderful” draftsman
@@frncscbtncrt Condo is by all means a great draftsman,you can see his talent in his dinosaur sketches when he was 6 years old. Dürer is a "once in a few hundred years" kind of draftsman.
I swear this is one of the most valuable videos on youtube...a glimpse in the mind, studio, and work flow of one of the most interesting n prolific artists of this time
it's amazing that this was recorded in 2017 while the comments that he makes are even more relevant today around what is real and what is perceived as real 33:24
Listening to Condo speak was like enjoying a superb meal.... In that, I didn't want it to end. I always appreciated his work, but after listening to him express himself... I have even more respect for him & his work.
I like the metaphor of drawing “ kind of like you walk through a forest ....” and I like the focus on tempo and the meaning in the process....and very interesting to listen to the journey from abstraction into realism - and I truly enjoy the freedom possibility in art - that you do not have to follow any rules - you can play with them and use thectransformation that is possible from using different languages at the same time - and something happens And I truly like the play with languages of isms - and the funny thought that today everything is a kind of artificial realism and that art is about true experience -
The first time I saw George's Condo's work was in a gallery in Paris in 1984. I had just arrived from New York to push my career as a painter in France. I always wandered how a 27 year old from some mountainous region had made it to that gallery. Everyone having any kind of success in those days was below 30 years of age.
About the "don't need to follow any rules " very refreshing for me as just at my beginning of art gurney.. I .quite often afraid to do smth not "by the rules" :) thank you for that video. And also my admire of how confident all lines were done ❤
Condo is a genius...the part about how he merged his drawings and made them as big and important as a large scale paintings was fascinating to me. Why is their a hierarchy in the first place? Merging the two mediums creates a whole new style of modern art
I just found George while searching for great artist documentaries while I work in my studio. LOVE this dude! He's the kind of artist I strive to be as a person. Very likable, has a great eye, not perverse for the sake of shock-factor. Really enjoyed finding this. Thank you, George!
I come back to this video all the time. I absolutely love the urgency he has to just make stuff with whatever's around. Obviously, the pages were set up for the video but I'm referring to the simplicity of a piece of paper, some kind of drawing utensil and the right attitude.
George Condo is always one of my "go to" inspirations. Even more so after watching this articulate and expressive telling of his early influences and his point that painting is no hierarchy to drawing ( yes!). I will watch this video again. Thanks, George Condo, for sharing your views. Now, back to my drawing table...
Ugh! Gertrude Stein's Picasso! Thank you Condo for saying words that resonate deeply and help me feel less an alien in this philistine world obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses.
He's very engaging, I like him. I haven't been a huge fan of his work but it is interesting. After watching this I now see there is more depth to his work than I initially thought. He is well educated on art history .....which is not so common among contemporary artists.
This interview is really inspiring and it provokes an impulse to create. Loved listening to Mr. Condo; he's very insightful and articulate to a gifted degree.
I love the way Condo thinks and works. I would love to see his work in person; even more, I would love to own one of his pieces. He knows his stuff. He knows the vernacular. I think he's brilliant.
It's so refreshing to experiences the artists process of creating an artwork and having some insights of the work and thought process. We've started a conversations series with diverse artists ourselves at our website and our UA-cam channel. Louisiana Channel has been an inspiration for us throughout. Amazing work.
Classic art and classical music are tools that enhance integrated intellectual symmetry!. Thanks for the math and science review on dimensions in angel variations.
So many people have asked what he’s using to make these ‘drawing-paintings’ - the thick smooth drawing media are Pigment Sticks by R&F Paints. It’s like oil paint in stick form. Other paint manufacturers make them and have different names for them (oil bar, oil stick, etc.) but R&F Paints make the smoothest most buttery ones.
oil stick! they are like a larger (and smoother) oil pastel. Check out works by basquiat and richard serra and see how expressive this material is - so much fun to blast out large drawings. - oh and also super cheap!
*Get inspired by George Condo's advice to the young right here on our channel:*

@@annalorenzoni5502 Heidegger!
Guys what kind of pen he used in beginning of the video?
Thanks
@@dico787z Yes. Martin Heidegger- the Nazi
He makes every stroke with such confidence, never second guessing himself. That's pretty inspiring to me.
Larilee there is consistently second guessing. It’s the being comfortable with it being wrong that brings the confidence. :)
Yeah, well I don't think you have to hesitate to do something like that, he's basically going ape mode and fucking shit up lmao
That ability comes from having done thousands of drawings. Consistent practice will develop that kind of confidence and ability.
I do the same when I order a cheeseburger with such confidence, never thought to buy something else, now I can be your inspiration too ...
That is exactly why he is a poor artist uncapable of making a portait with strength. He seems to me that he is a wealthy guy, with contacts and with lots and lots of blablabla.
I’ve watched this video so many many times and I keep coming back to it! 39 minutes of Condo isn’t enough!!!
"Art is the truth and everything else is a lie." What an amazing human...
Pretentious statement. This guy said nothing insightful.
Kind of on the line of what Jonathan Meese would say who speaks of the "dictatorship of art".
kind of a stupid statement but k
there is Beauty.. and there is Schlock
@@northbay4619You are blinded by your own lies.
"Art is the truth, and everything else is a lie". What a great quote.
I believe it's contrary to Picasso's "art is a lie that reveals the truth". I like both approaches.
@@alexsandraja I think both ideas are compatible
It's a bumper sticker.
He's great at explaining his ideas.
being a good linguist is crucial
to paraphrase D.Chappelle, he has enough time and money to do something that most americans are not capable of: think about how he feels
Everybody has enough time, and it doesn't take money. They simply choose not to.
@@seigeengine Yeah. People use their time poorly. But using time well is a skill.
He doesn't have any ideas
I love how open he is to every art. Doesn’t seem to judge any of it, especially his own.
So judgement is bad?
@@timtench3334 apparently it is smh
@@timtench3334judgment isn’t always negative but I think it can lead an artist to be limited in what they do and that can be negative
lol johnhill? i see how u got inspired by him lol
That's bs
Even if you don't want to see it
The best 39 minutes and 2 seconds I've spent looking at a screen for a long time. Art is the truth.
It's all a drama one does to act in the society. It's acting. These people are influenced. It's not their og.
Timothy Lee I like that.
Art is the lie who tells truth...that said Picasso
MarkDavies definitely !!! 🙌🏼
@Timothy Lee Death is the only certainty of life. But love is truth.
I come back to this documentary over and over again with new feelings every time.
Boy it’s amazing listening to other artist and hearing how they process and think and how similar it Is to the way you think etc. its actually comforting because you feel less alone.
Dude....were all HUMAN...everyone is BLESSED with a gift...it's up to the human to figure it out! ☔
i come back every once and awhile to watch this, so great. thank you!
I love George’s work, to me, he is one of the greatest.

@Tauqir Reza توقیر رضاof corse, thaaank yooou for beeing nice!!!!!!!!!
Forbidden laughter is the most irresistible.
This dude just broke every rule my art teachers told me not to break. Especially adding cartoon elements.
You can't teach art, you can assist development though
i think of art teachers as foundation. not final products. breaking the rules is the only way to make it suprisingly
My art teacher always said can’t break the rules before you know them
Your teacher forgot to mention when you finish the course "And now break any rule that i have said"
@@Emcostanza As soon as a baby is born, he's breaking the rules...Until someone teaches him rules.

weird how the artists who cant draw and paint well insist that all art is equal LOL
The DeKooning comment made sense to me. This helped me. Thanks Condo

👾 He is
I would like to thank your Channel for bringing us an excellent opportunity to learn firsthand, from his beautiful introspective views...👍
I loved this interview so much. I love listening to him! I can’t imagine having a work of his. Fascinating stuff. ♥♥♥
It's so satisfying watching him at work. Also never seen abstract anime, so that's a first.
Listening to Condo speak was like enjoying a superb meal.... In that, I didn't want it to end.
I always appreciated his work, but after listening to him express himself...
I have even more respect for him & his work.
Awesome. I loverly open clean cut painting …………. Less than more but sooo bold , stunning Alrere
The first Artist i can truly relate to. The way he explain things is just so fascinating and authentic i have a big appreciation for this Genius.
Another Picasso simulacrum, and people spilling compliments. That's the brave new world, congratulations on your great open mind.
has nothing to do with picasso other than some inspiration
Drawing as a thinking, this is such a great example of visual language of an artist
Drawing-paintings. Nice expression and it is what it has always been for me. It is a basic pictorial language 🎵🖤🎶
I like the metaphor of drawing “ kind of like you walk through a forest ....”
and I like the focus on tempo and the meaning in the process....and very interesting to listen to the journey from abstraction into realism - and I truly enjoy the freedom possibility in art - that you do not have to follow any rules -
you can play with them and use thectransformation that is possible from using different languages at the same time - and something happens
And I truly like the play with languages of isms - and the funny thought that today everything is a kind of artificial realism and that art is about true experience -
The Prisoner piece is my favourite,it spoke to me even more when he explained this work that is unbearably relatable to my life...Art is life.
This is my first time seeing his work and hearing his thoughts and I am absolutely a fan now! Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.
Nice one George hope your ok......... really enjoy listening and watching
Love his work, especially that one done throughout the interview.
that will sell for 30k easy SMH crazy
thank you for sharing

What does he drawing on? I know what kind of oil marker he’s using but is that canvas or paper?

This may be one of the best youtube finds for me personally in a long time. Just outstanding perspective.

How confidently George draws lines, like a printer. I have never succeeded in this, I don’t even know where my line will end🎈

Thanks for the dialogue and the video. I like the ease with which Mr. George Condo works, it's captivating. Best regards from Prague.
I really resonate with how he describes how he paints, he's very good at explaining himself
Great presentation! Thank you!
Condo is a great Artist and seems like a great guy to boot!
He throws this up in some minutes. Genius shit for real. ❤

I would be so proud of him if he were my kid. Dear goodness. Enjoyed his conversation.
I admire his unique vision and approach. He is very eloquent in explaining his mindset. Wonderful work.
Really beautiful.
Mr. George Condo is so well spoken... Great abstract painter and cartoonist
Jahha H i mean... You know...i mean....you know...i mean ...you know during an hour Is it well spoken?
Freddy Felipe Gutierrez well you know, if that's all you heard then that's what you got from it. Doesn't take away from my opinion. 👍
This is a remarkable way of thinking... very inspiring, thank you for uploading!
Sheer genius...his Art, and his thoughts on humanity, Art, and artificiality. Kudos!
I could listen for hours to him .. big love.
George Condo is always one of my "go to" inspirations. Even more so after watching this articulate and expressive telling of his early influences and his point that painting is no hierarchy to drawing ( yes!). I will watch this video again. Thanks, George Condo, for sharing your views. Now, back to my drawing table...
One of the greatest CONDO
Wow!!!! This is the first time I heard of George Condo. He is brilliant amazing!
Sooting take on art and it’s parallels to life itself
Ooooo I like this tempo idea.
Very nice to hear this guy talk.
RIP POP SMOKE. "George Condo, cost more then your condo, wait"
A great artist,as genuine as can exist! I love his style and his work.
have never heard of Condo but im very now influenced by the way he explains art.
Very good monologue while painting my interior walls during the quarantine. 👍🏻👍🏻
I love the way he speaks about art

Really interesting, and I love how his art reflects his mind.
This interview is really inspiring and it provokes an impulse to create. Loved listening to Mr. Condo; he's very insightful and articulate to a gifted degree.
Brilliant artist. Great talk. Thank you for this.
I was painting in oil at 14 years old. It was never the mess George Condo described it to be!! I'm 72 year old, btw!!!
Beautiful soul George is. Wonderful Artist. Very inspiring and touching.
This was very dynamically captured
Thank you,sometimes I feel like an alien. When I hear George say things I have thought, I don't feel alone.
love these.. also: loving that CHAIR.!
using Oil sticks is so liberating (fire emoji x3)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Was just thinking I should get myself that.
Thank you for answering my question :) !
yeah ive been really into them lately glad to see others using them
Art
The human condition to create is Art , beautiful lesson

He’s one of my favorite artists this was amazing
I would love to spend an afternoon with this man.

Inspired to “get to work” !
Thanks
Very inspirational. It made me think and pick up a pen
grunntalll was he using some kind of a marker
?
grunntalll what tool is this artist using
oil pastels i guess, at least for the piece he was making in the video
oil stick! they are like a larger (and smoother) oil pastel. Check out works by basquiat and richard serra and see how expressive this material is - so much fun to blast out large drawings. - oh and also super cheap!
It is hard to know what is real or not today. Yet truth and beauty are always revealed in the end.
you're an true inspiration George. i hope our paths cross someday
Thank you for showing to everyone that you, like many other wannabe artists, do not know how to draw.
that was literally therapy
yes! - like a meditation!
I love his confidence and owned inspiration, very intresting to absorb such authenticity.
this was so deep, especially about him experiencing music
