Robert Motherwell at KASMIN Norman Bluhm at HOLLIS TAGGART
Вставка

- James Kalm was thinking about the “BIG PICTURE” as he gallivanted around the New York art scene last weekend, and he took time to capture video of some of the huge pictures he encountered. In “Sheer Presence: Monumental Paintings by Robert Motherwell at KASMIN, viewers will see examples of the late works of one of the founders of Abstract Expressionism, and perhaps get a inkling of why the AB-Exers were perceived as profoundly American.
Then we visit Norman Bluhm: Works from the 1970s at HOLLIS TAGGART which is a serendipitous opportunity for historic and stylistic comparison. Here, your correspondent notes interesting points of similarity and contrast, a generational distinction between a member of the original Abstract Expressionist sensibility, and a stalwart of the 10th Street/Action painters group. A musical introduction is provided by Daniel. This program was recorded March 30. 2019.
AWESOME! Thanks for showing.

Thank you so much for this and your other films James. I was so moved by the Motherwell paintings. The gift of being able to see them in my little Derbyshire house in the middle of England is much appreciated.
Thanks, sending positive vibes and goodness to Derbyshire...JK
Merci de nous faire partager toutes ces belles expositions avec vos vidéos. Hallucinant tous les grands artistes exposés dans ces galeries New Yorkaises. Une véritable féerie pour un amoureux de la peinture comme moi.
As an avid and longtime James Kalm fan; I genuinely feel like this is one of the best shows you've ever posted. Thank you Sir.
I love the huge rectangular pieces. This is a small show without a lot of pomp, however the gallery was limited on what was available to show. I guess I really appreciate his views of abstract painting the most. TY
I genuinly admire and appreciate your commentary. Thanks to K.
Great show! My first introduction to the work of Norman Bluhm, dazzling... thank you as always!
Very nice. Loved your care to detail and explanation of the paintings. Wonderful artists and paintings you selected for this video. Thank you. I had never seen Norman Bluhm's work.
Motherwell never disappoint, mates, less if are big format. Maybe both of you should have paid to watch it... A great visual experience for those living thousand of miles far from NY courtesy from Mr Kalm.
Thanks a lot!

Thoroughly enjoyed this....thank you SO much 🙏Namaste.
I had to stop at 18:30 just to comment on... What a treat this JamesKalm journey is! Love the spring and seeing more of your art report. People don't understand how precious this is. Thanks JamesKalm.
Thanks @Ola Renato, I'm glad you appreciate these Reports, and for your kind words...JK
James, I moved to Panama, so now your shows are like oxygen for me! Thank you Brother -- And Thank You Kate
PS do you review work? One of my clients says he has original Basquiat drawings -- looking for a un-paid (ie non-biased) authenticator
Great video, love your narration as well!!
Really like the paint quality of Bluhms work. Good show. Thanks James
Loved that one, really like Bluhm. Thanks from the UK James - always really enjoy your videos, especially the last 6 months, you've been a godsend.
Great video. Thank you for uploading. Motherwell is a big influence on my art.
Thank you for your up spirit as always. And mentioning Basquiat. ❤️
I love Norman Bluhm, thanks Kate !
Thank you, James. I have a new appreciation for Motherwell that I lacked prior to this video. I am a tried and true stuck-in-the-early-Modernists fan, and have had a real psychological wall (unwarranted) of dislike for this period of artists. Thanks to you, we can attest to the fact that Old People CAN continue with intellectual evolution well into their 50's. Heh heh. Cheers to You (and Kate) for who you are and what you do!
Nice going James - loved both - Appreciated. :)
Thank you Kate
Best handling of acrylic paint; possibly ever ever. (Bluhm)
Particularly exciting to re visit the Open Series.
WONDERFUL ! WONDERFUL ! thank you
I loved the cameo bump into Mr. Artman (J..S) walking down the block. We’ve met!
Spring has sprung so I’ll be out and about. Great job as usual.
LOVE IT! Thank you.
Thanks for making these videos!
Not sure if it was in this video or not, but you mentioned something about Motherwell viewed some of his pieces as looking out through jail cell bars. Wow! Really gives a new perspective on his work-thanks!!!
Hi love your reports.... fan from New Zealand .
Jamsie!, shout out right back at ya bru, lets not forget Kate, with all my common wealth, Toes, also I would love to send me you Thesis I just finished it I will send it to your website email. I must say that I must credit both you and kate for keeping me connected to an international scene from South Africa. It would have contributed into getting into the MA programmer here. I would like to tell you about it as I know you have spoken about art education in your videos before and it doesn't sound like your a fan, but it is so progressive here and completely free. What a wonderful experience it has been. Thanks for all your hard work and insights into one of the many hearts of the kunst world
Thanks Mr Kalm.
“Juicy colors” , I love that description.
Thanks for continuing to walk us through shows... Are you going to make it to Austin Lee at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery? Would be great if you could!
Love Motherwell! He was the most intellectual of all the American painters of his generation. Towards the end, he was a bit careless about his output, maybe to finance his love affair with cars!
Frank Stella is the car guy isn't he?
Thanks, as always, for the video James! FYI - it's Spanish Elegy, not eulogy.
Thanks for posting. It is nice to see a show of Motherwells large work even if this is his B list work. I like Bluhm show but it is terribly over hung. I few less works would have helped the show and work breathe. Bluhm is a great gestural colorist.
Makes me miss my home city 😕
Great.
Bluhm reminds me of Gorky as well
Most of the Motherwell pieces are, in my opinion, throwaways. Certainly not his best work. The Bluhm works, on the other had, are gorgeous!
I'd agree with this. I loved the musician as well.
14:15 Peppermint green, umber brown and white combo made me smile . . .
Thanks Kate and James 😊❤️👏
The Motherwells were disappointing for the most part, but the Bluhms were excellent!
A lot of people dissing the Motherwells, but c'mon, the pieces at 4:30 and 10:05....
There was a time when these would have been important paintings to me but that time is no more.
Also remember mention your friends in Denmark😊Love Motherwell
Really nice video. Really glad I found your channel. Subd. Was that Saltz?
Yeah, that was Jerry...
A particularly beautiful show of almost erotic pictures - thank-you. Would you give some consideration to acquiring a gimble camera mount? It could really help showcase the artwork and let the camera work become more of a background element of your videos.
I totally agree with you Ms Ellis. The gimbal would be a great help. Are you in NYC?
@@1111122234 Not yet but, one day. And I would be very pleased to meet you when I am.
@@ValerieEllis That would be wonderful. I'm Andrew.
elegy is a poem and eulogy is words on someone who has died. motherwell was elegy not eulogy as you said. but dont take my observation to be anything but gratitude for your work that allows us all to view those things which we might not otherwise be able to see. thanks, s
Something's beginning to get spooky the amount of times you run into either Jerry Saltz (?) or Walter Robinson during your outings..Is it really by chance ?
Both Jerry and Walter are hardcore art heads (addicts), so it's not so surprising that one sees them when they're out, sniffing for a fix...
Jerry!
What's Bluhm doing now? If still around..
Unfortunately Norman passes away in 1999. There will, no doubt, be some kind of rediscovery with new representation... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Bluhm
Actually, the Jean-Michel Basquiat (?) piece at 18:03 isn't too bad. ; )
what is daniel playing?
I'm not sure the gigantic size of American paintings have as much to do with the vastness of the country as with the emulation and wish to be compared with Italian Renaissance painting. Just a thought. Personally, being a poor guy who doesn't know how to stretch canvas or build frames, I like smaller works.
I get a kick out of Blihm (Kind of like an abstract Boucher).
The first 2 or 3 motherwell pieces are not so compelling until others are viewed, and then it all becomes so great.
Norman Bluhm is equally nice, but it takes more to say what he says than Motherwell. No, not a put down, just a little different. Norman uses lots of organic forms reminiscent of the human figure as well as a more exotic color palette. It's all nice, but I prefer to look at the Motherwells.
James, you do a great job presenting the work; thank Kate for us. See you around!
Your critical faculties are nonexistant.
Elegy not Eulogy.
Elegy >> a poem of serious reflection, typically a lament for the dead.
I Wonder how many "wall mileage" is covered by by the abstract expressionism paintings . The scale of most of these paintings seem to suggest that they were intended
for the sanctity of modern art museums . If those paintings didn't hang in these spaces-- where else would they impress anyone ? Modern art is a joke unless it sells.
You move the camera so much that the viewer cannot see the whole painting for even a few seconds. Very disappointing.
James, at 4:32, you make huge intellectual faux pas, namely, saying eulogy INSTEAD of elegy in regards to Motherwell's Elegy to the Spanish Republic. I appreciate you wanting to sound well-educated but being overconfident can lead to such errors.
Thanks for your correction @birddogfreemann. Since the beginning of this project, about fifteen years ago (and over thirteen hundred programs) I have constantly made the disclaimer that this is "halfassed reporting". Further, I have made the point that I am just a guy on a bike, a proud dropout, with a two-dollar camera, no assistance, no script, no editors, no financing (I make, edit and post these programs as a free service to the worldwide art community). These dialogues are strictly spontaneous stream of consciousness blather. If I have given you the impression that I am "wanting to sound well-educated" I apologize for this misunderstanding as well. If this "huge intellectual faux pas" offends your sensibilities to such a great extent, I suggest that you avoid the channel, because there have been, are, and will be more of these kinds of "huge intellectual faux pas". Thanks again for your correction, I appreciate it, JK
Hi James. Thanks for doing your videos and sharing. It is great to see all the art work in New York. You obviously have your own informal style which is fine. Its amazing that these galleries allow video. I think having a tripod would make your reports more valuable. You want to share the art world and your understanding and knowledge. @@jameskalm
Please stop glorifying nonsensical ridiculousness. These are wall ornaments
For bathrooms hallways stairwells institutions hotels hospitals .
Not good art.Bluhm has some okay paintings.
The award for most overrated big name artist goes to Robert Motherwell
Thank you Kate
