"It's not like he becomes a good painter.... he becomes worse and worse, but in a good way" - I am discovering Tal R. His words are by far the most most most original, creative, moving the soul with rarely spoken truths.
I did not know the work of Marsden Hartley and this was the most wonderful way to be introduced, through the eyes of 7 Artists who speak so well, so beautifully, with great insight, I thought. I can talk about almost anything... except Art. I am hopeless/speechless when it comes to THIS, my great passion. So, I am always excited and happy when people don't speak absolute shit about Art (there is a LOT of that out there)... but with such sensitivity and imagination. This format is so intelligent! And beautifully edited. Thank you so very much!!!
Thank you all for this film. This feels very much at home for my feeling towards my painting. Refreshing to have this approach intellectualised and this painter celebrated.
@@stephaningleby2352if you not gonna have teachers, try and fail could take rest of your life, and maybe you die before you succeed ? Your art should withstand a critic , even if that critic is your teacher as long as your art represents you , not just "trendy or fake" , right ?
This guy Sam McKinniss is so smart, and the way he talks is cool. He'll pose a new question to himself at the beginning of a paragraph and by the end he'll have answered it. Insightfully.
In my view many of Marsden Hartley's best paintings look like excavations in difficult terrain. He has to shore up one side of the painting as he shovels his way deeper on another side. At the end every part of the painting props up every other part and we see despite the odds a sort of perfection has been achieved. His landscapes and seascapes are simply analogs of the earth and sea and sky. His still lifes can take their place among any of the rough furniture of Hartley's life. When people enter the frame they are immediately put to work anchoring other elements, preventing clouds from drifting too far, amplifying the great silence of slow being, turning viewers into children.
I did not know him but he is a good painter. My art school (SFAI)did not teach about him. He unites with everything, that shows he is open(guard less). He immerse in. A poet he is.
Thank you for this: I didn't know about this man and his wonderful work and you created a really good mix of pictures of his art (including close-ups) and the people speaking about him = well done. I also hadn't heard of Tal R and really loved how he spoke about the art and more, I also liked Karin Mamma Andersson's words, thanks for the english translation. And finally thanks to Mr Hockney for reminding me that my paintings aren't a pointless waste of time!
Being from the Canadian Maritimes I am most fond of Hartley's 'Nova Scotia Fishermen ( Last Supper )' . But it is a great painting in any light. This overview of many works was brilliant and revealing. He seems to me somewhere between Maude Lewis and Rene Magritte. But both Lewis and Magritte stayed home. One Maude Lewis could be her only painting ; one Magritte could be his only painting. Hartley never allows finishing emotionally or technically to interrupt his journey. He probably couldn't.
A very masculine painter in the way a brick mason or stonecutter builds beautiful buildings. A journeyman painter whose art exceeds the expected result.
9:51 I like Hockney but sometimes he is such an arrogant rich twit, according to his mistress and children Picasso didn't work every day and I'm sure Hartley didn't either. Hockney has only ever known success.
I resent how all these artists will take a heroic outsider and champion them after their deaths , yet wont lift a finger to encourage living talent with the same caoabilities . This is another example of the art world monetising and promoting an artist for its own profits whikst negkecting them during their lifetimes . None of these artist are very imortant ..its just the american money machine and its god chosens😂
I'm sorry guys, but you can blah, blah, blah about this artist, but I find his work very bad. Just, bad paintings. Don't they have a museum that displays really bad art? His paintings would definitely find a home there.
That a bold statement to say “America’s First Great Modernist Painter”. I’m not sure many would agree. It’s primitive, sort of ‘outsider’ but not truly inventive or influential. Not clear what artistic door he may have opened.
The first ten minutes here should be deleted. Too much speculation of artist life or his motives instead of his actual works. I guess modern artists and art is basically a refusal of reality and taking pride in that refusal by too many intangible words

I too have been trying to persuade my art teachers that it's the thing they think is 'wrong' in my painting that is the best thing about it.
Hey, luckily with my mentor i was encouraged to pursue what is "wrong" in art. I was asked to seek what i could through my own understanding of art.
You dont need teachers

Persuade with your paint, not your words. ♥️
What shockingly intelligent interwiees, and how much I love what Marsden Hartley has done, for all of us!!!
A priceless production. I am so grateful that we have a language beyond the verbal.
Brilliant format! And interviewees. What a fantastic way to discover the work of an artist.
Thank you!
Yes, yes, yes! Brilliant comment. I feel the same!
A great listen
“They say about van Gough he was a miserable person and things like that. He wasn’t when he was painting.“ superb
As someone that struggles to find an interesting way to describe Art in my reviews, it is wonderful to see these artists trying.
... and succeeding.

Fabulous. Thank you for your great content!
Wonderful! I enjoyed the entire production/film, all of it.

thank you for this great upload....
Thanks for share great contents.
wonderful + insightful. and still so much more needs to be said about Hartley.
I did not know him but he is a good painter. My art school (SFAI)did not teach about him. He unites with everything, that shows he is open(guard less). He immerse in. A poet he is.
Marsden Hartley is a great artist.
Gorgeous seascapes
We nail down what we want on the canvas hence it is an action of possess.
That was really great. Thx :)
Has Benton aspect and even further amazing artist. Adds "volume" with expressionist brushwork!
Amzing description of artists works

Good analysis of verse the timing of 1900's. Way more
When I saw a track runner wore German flag the time of victory, and was strikingly beautiful. I bet he felt that in his lover.

I notice very very clean color.
Interesting video! Loved learning about this unique artist. Who did the music throughout the video?
Relatable artist, for me atleast
A very masculine painter in the way a brick mason or stonecutter builds beautiful buildings. A journeyman painter whose art exceeds the expected result.
love
Sad to see Hockney smoking. We’ll miss him.
where is the music from?
❤❤❤
thanks for this - I've always admired his unique visual perspective as a gay man
David Salle has some big-ass ears!
It seems easy to qualify someone else's art.
Lonely venture
9:51 I like Hockney but sometimes he is such an arrogant rich twit, according to his mistress and children Picasso didn't work every day and I'm sure Hartley didn't either. Hockney has only ever known success.
You are overblowing Hockney, both Picasso and Hockney can't be in same paragraph.

These artist are all so much better, of course, David Hockney plus. BUT WHY do they think these UGLY paintings are so great, so BEAUTIFUL.
these people dont know Bárbaro Rivas...
Marsden Hartley just wasn't that good, and neither are any of these artists in the video.
Inward out
mostly dopey stuff , and no genuine insight evinced re th artist in question
The first ten minutes here should be deleted. Too much speculation of artist life or his motives instead of his actual works. I guess modern artists and art is basically a refusal of reality and taking pride in that refusal by too many intangible words
"Independent"
Everyone was struggling to put into words something good about a bad artist
Boy. As a writer, I am amazed at how incoherent many of the artists are.
modern art ain´t quite so beautiful marsden
Meh….
UnTracking work yet
Is it just me, or does it seem like they would rather be talking about and doing anything else than what they're talking about? :'D
thank god for Tal R, yikes the artists before him are so mindless
none of these people can paint. how ironic.
