Katherine Bradford "Mother Paintings" at CANADA
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- James Kalm has been documenting the exhibitions of Katherine Bradford on UA-cam for fifteen years. During that time, viewers have watched as her recognition and reputation has become international. On April 17, 2021, a brisk early spring evening, half an hour after closing time, Canada’s Phil Grauer accommodated an “un-masked” walkthrough of Katherine’s latest show “Mother Paintings”. On this gracious stroll, Bradford chats about her artistic musings, the role of mothers during the pandemic, and paint-head trivia. This latest selection of paintings has been called “masterful” and the artist’s close descriptions and explanations of both technical and aesthetical decisions are insightful. A musical intro is provided by Kid Krill, and was recorded on Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg Brooklyn. This program was recorded April 17, 2021. #jameskalmreport #jameskalmroughcut #lorenmunk
Love that she can talk in practical language and describe her thoughts that form such abstract beauty. So fluent.
Love her style thanks.
Superb show Kathy! Wow! Thank you James Kalm and Kate.
Great looking show! The work looks so vibrant, painterly and full of action. Thanks for sharing!
This show is so fantastic it brings tears to my eyes
And I love to hear Katherine speak about it
Thank you for reporting on this James
Wandering in the wilderness of unconvincing figuration .
Love her! Been watching your reports on her for years and each time it’s amazing.
One of my all time favorite artists! Thanks James and Kate for your constant dedication to bringing us the great shows in New York!
Thank you Katherine, Kate and James! Very nice work. Very nice artist.
Katherine has been around many blocks: she is almost 80 years old, raised two highly successful children, lived her life with two partners (separate times) and paid her dues in the art world. Age and experience and much study has raised her work to a high level of accomplishment. She relates to modern painters on back to Matisse, Motherwell and Diebenkorn but especially Marsden Hartley and others from the New England past. There is a great expressive quality with both muted/greyed and bright raw colors, and yet a stern held back aspect. She trusts her gut intuitive direction but she has the time of practice under her belt. She knows what she is doing.
Thanks Loren, really loved this one! Beautiful colors and shapes, and of course lines. And thanks to Katherine and Kate.
Love these interviews with Kathy Bradford: always understated yet always inspiring.
So many rare and beautiful insight's into the artist's process. Thank you!!!
To me, the eye-popping painting, 'Upsetting Times', embodies a current evolution of Piet Mondrian.
Keep up your fantastic, educational, & needed work, James.
Thank you Kate, & thank you Kathy B for another interesting luminous show. Looking forward to seeing the Rose Wylie show James. Another artist of a certain age showing the younger painters how it's done.
She should be a superstar ! Amazing artist ! Thanks for the report.
The wonderful Kathy Bradford is in the house. Thank you James and Kate for covering this.
Love the way you guys have that relaxed teasing, that only old friends can do
The pallete appears quieter, more tonal than previous works. Less obvious use of primary fluorescent colour, perhaps the reflective times we're living through
Rose Wylie please!
Greetings from lockdown France.
Absolutely awe inspiring. Thank you, James, Kathy, and Kate!
Thank you Kate, James and Katherine.
I recently acquired the “runner at rest.” I love it so so much. Thank you 🙇🏼♀️🙏
Lucky you...JK
😀 I do feel blessed. It’s so perfect 🙇🏼♀️ there’s a documentary on grounding on Amazon and this painting reminded me of how important it is to ground to Mother Earth 🙇🏼♀️🙏
There are painters you just love all around ❤️
fantastic dialogue - fantastic show ! Thanks James and Kathy
Great work, Kathy. I love color in these paintings. I am the proud owner of two of your smaller paintings and treasure them. It happens that I'll be in NYC and will make an appointment with CANADA to see your show on April 30 after I visit the Whitney to see Julie Mehretu's retrospective. All the best! Phil
I could not love her work or her more. Thank you, Kate, so much.
Just discovered the artist. Love her work! The subject matter, the poignancy the colour. I would like the interview to have allowed her to speak more as I really enjoyed her insights into her process. Pl allow your artists to speak!
Fantastic. Her work is always intriguing to me. So much to tickle the eyeballs
OMG Kathy Bradford!!!! Excuse me for being so excited but she is just the best and one of my favorite artists. No, my favorite. I hope to see one of her paintings in person one day. I’m so glad she is being recognized as one of the greats because she deserves all the praise bestowed on her. I can picture her in her studio, brush in hand AND JUST PAINTING. What color and composition and feeling. If people aren’t grabbing up her paintings they are missing out. She is my inspiration and I hope one day to be able to express the freedom in my work that I see in hers. Sorry for rambling on but I did say I was excited. I will watch this many more times. Thank you Kathy Bradford and thank you James. 😊❤️ Thank you Kate.
Fantastic interview! Love all the paintings 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Fantastic paintings, all in such refreshing color combinations, some of them look the way sporting goods stores smell. And love what she says about the people being the landscapes, reminds me of what Stanley Whitney said about realizing that the space is IN the color.
Nice work Katherine, thank you.
Thank you katherine Bradford for being there with art 😍 Svante Östlund gothenburg sweden art is magic
Thanks! What a good show, especially liked Mother joins the Circus, with that pink and turquoise. What a nice person she seems to be.
thanks kate, james and kathy.
Glowing Family Painting...colors exploding from her creative mind. GROOVY! Well done Katherine!
Thanks James (from Zencasso's Planet "Z")
James thanks for all your video reports, hello from Melbourne Australia.
Thank you kate, thank you everybody.
Eager to see the show. Thanks for the preview :)
What a great show and deep painting
Adorable paintings
She is such a good painter. I always love seeing her work.
YES...
These works are fantastic just like Katherine , they are her
Katherine B. is an Excellent! artist!
Thank you Katherine and Kate
I think her paintings are amazing. She's a mother figure to me and a lot of youngish painters. She's an inspiration to me of persistence and dedication
watching in Vancouver too
I love these.
I’m soooo inspired.
Thank you Kate. ❤️
Loved Katherine and her paintings...not crazy about the interviewer. He seemed to not know how to ask the right questions...And his audio was much louder so it was hard to hear Katherine quite a bit of the time. Still, I learned so much and will continue to follow Ms. Bradford's work.
So inspiring!
Good job!
Great stuff.
I gotta get me some of them special art spectacles she is wearing.
She got those from the eccentric architect collection at Lens Crafters. 😎
Gorgeous paintings! I wish I could hear her better, stick a mic on her next time!
Fantastic work
I forgot to mention, great music too!
Yup, Kid Krill, Great...
Like the paintings and agree that without the figurative aspect they would be just as strong.
Love to hear Kathy talk about her paintings. But ………… I have a need for better questions ie more specific and susinct seeing as the interviewer is an artist too.
Amazing that you don't really even let her answer questions without imposing your banal "insights" over them.
Whats her glasses
Underwhelming. If the goal is to make people cry like an opera (as she said) there is a LONNNNG way to go. The only thing propping these up is the pretentiousness of the NYC gallery scene.
You may not know as much as you think you know about painting, art, life, or anything else. Masterful work from an artist we can all admire. Thank you Kathy, thank you James, and thank you KATE.
