McCarthy has often ridiculed the notion of the tortured artist, going back to the Black & White Tapes . This is perhaps the clearest example of him playing the clown to deflate the myth of the heroic male painter.
He's so brilliant at capturing how it feels to want to create, and to want to create and create, and to want and want and want more, and to deal with all the voices and frustrations. I now remember why I loved him in college. It's great to discover Paul McCarthy again!
I respect this for the fact that no matter what you think about this, he inspired some sort of emotion within you. The emotion probably stirred up a thought for you to evaluate something, anything. Thus its art
It's such a shame to see Neil Buchanan like this, he had something brilliant with Art Attack but unfortunately it all got too much for him. That's the trouble with artists who just don't know when to stop, I'm reminded of the tragic final performances of Elvis Presley. Neil wouldn't want us to remember him for this, but rather for all the joy and laughter that he brought to so many children (myself included) and for all the creativity he inspired. God Bless you Neil.
you know it's okay for you not to like this. But it is art. It's weird as fuck, but it's art. I believe he made that costume and that room by hand, so yeah he is an artist. He may not be good to your standards, but he is an artist. People like you don't appreciate art and all it's possibilities.
Some people are DUMB AS DIRT when it comes to art. I just had to explain how David Lynch is not autistic (not that it would matter) to a bunch of dimwit idiots. Like people who think Stephen King is a psychopath; they just can't grapple with the genius depth of the human imagination.
And by the way, artists still create work for kings, except those "kings" today are corporations and those artists work in advertising agencies. It's really no different when you think about it.
i like how he always uses food in his work somehow. i watched this one where he smeared ketchup all over his body and face and painted with his face and head.
I listen to things beautiful and not, if they have content, actually. I'm not discrediting 'real talent'. I'm saying 'real talent' involves content. Content is what's important, more so than beauty. If it's just beauty, it's nothing more than commercial.
Buttplug? Whatever your opinion of Paul McCarthy, one cannot avoid the fact that his work makes an overwhelming impression. People who are faced with it for the first time probably react with a mixture of horror, curiosity and disdain, but the attentive reviewer will not miss its humor and penetration. He is one of a generation of artists who react to the Minamal Art and Conceptual Art of the sixties by restoring the link between artistic activity and harsh reality. + McCarthy is slightly insane
The thing about PM is that he needs you more than you need him. It's not really a criticism, more a statement about the condition of conceptual/performative art. Without the contextual apparatus of society, it's all rather meaningless,but almost everything is like that. Beauty is essentiallu meaningless, too...but still useful, as say, a sign of good genes. As always, implicate yourself. and do it with style. That's arph.
android90beats...good points! That is a much more graspable idea for the non-Artist than the Art Historical model citing DuChamp...Artist declares it to be Art. I will have to try that arguement out sometime.
Art is a lot about perception. The time of presenting historical/biblical significance is gone, is dead. And personally, I'm glad. Yes, I am able to comprehend this. Actually since Paul McCarthy was a painter and has been inside that realm, it focuses on the downfall of the artist and the destruction of that glorification. I think this does use brains as much as intuition. Art is not about conforming to the actual world we live in.
This is about not having kings to tell you anymore what to paint and having to figure it out on your own. Freedom is responsibility, but responsibility to whom and for what? How do you tap into your rawest emotions without being flayed in the process? How do you reach into the void and bring back a nugget of truth?
the satire, i see it somewhere, but i'm mostly frightened by how scary he looks and sounds while actually just trying to paint... i don't think a painter actually puts that much madness into the painting process... or he just had to really go mad to look this way... i think i now have a new nightmare... hoping i don't end up like this...
I think he's sending up the whole idea of the "genius" artist going back to Picasso - you know the schtick - waiting for the moment when creativity and imagination burst forth - kind of like what happens with an overturned ketchup bottle.
Thanks for posting this. Did you check out the one I posted? I'm no art scholar and my comments reflect the obvious but me thinks the emporer has no clothes. The bigger than lifesize sculptures were a thrill, but...
@crossingthechannel "The fact is, the whole myth of the artist has gone too far to the point of pretentiousness and irrationality out of sync with the actual world we live in." Well that is exactly what McCarthy is criticizing in this performance, the whole image of the "Heroic" artist (Polloack, DeKooning, Picasso ect). He is trying to deconstruct this macho self image that people identify art with.
Art is a commentary on society. That's it's function. I fail to see how pretty paintings of Jesus and kings are art. They are beautiful, yes- so perfectly painted and beautifully done. Just like the job a mortician paints the face of a corpse. It is dead. What is there to be proud of? There is no thought for the creator OR the viewer. What is is function? Beauty? Is that all? That is not art.
McCarthy never claimed an authority on creativity or an insight into the human condition. Personally I rather enjoy his work. Perhaps enjoy isn't the right word. When I see it I often feel disgusted, horrified, awkward, and embarrassed, but I cannot look away. His work is about pushing the emotional limits of both himself and his audience, not about making something pretty.
Ah yes, I didn't even go near that. It looked real indeed. It was like some horrorflick and the guy could wake up any time. I was genuinely frightened.. Maybe it's because we're constantly confronted with these kind of scenes (as with his dismemberment movies) because of watching TV about 7 hours a day. (on average 7 hours, that is..)
Explain to me how it isn't art. Art isn't always about beauty. It's about exposure to emotion. This guy doesn't want you to feel happy with video's of ducks swimming in a lake, he wants to rip out your deepest horrification's and force you to realize the nature of this world. Because it's fucked up.
@wellgoodsafeperson he's alive and commenting on the world. It ought not be subjugated to any obvious distinction as you've suggeted. Grow babies with spongebob. He's readily available. Yum; and have fbn!
if anyone does something stupid enough people will look - if he calls himself an artist, and he does stupider shit than other artists, you get people like this guy
Who’s here after watching Kanye’s instagram story post
What is the point of that post?
@@davidultimate4439my guess is either mental breakdown or this is gonna be a sample for a song
@@davidultimate4439who else has big noses✡️
@@davidultimate4439It's a satire about a washed up artist pretty much
Yep. Gonna sample the intro 😂
Well... We came from Ye's story. How many want to bet that there will be a sample of this sketch in one of Ye's future songs?
I watched this a while back and thought it was amazing, so did Ye. I'm glad he always locked in and looking at stuff unlike most people do.
what the fuck does this mean kanye west
Its means he is creating art right now, he is "painting" 🔥
A reference to a certain Austrian painter...

What a waste of time and energy.
I like how he makes the satire about artists, acting all crazy XD Now that's an art too~
Yeezy brought me
Found this guy when searching up Paul McCartney
When I saw “The Painter” on Kanye’s story I thought he was about to get cancelled again😭
Yeezy set the trend

Imagine being told to film this and not being told about what it's about.
Whos here after Kanye posted this to his story?
YAAAAAAY
Kanye
Who here after Kanye
A conceptual artist getting in the pants of an expressionist!! Awesome and funny. One of my favorite artist videos ever.
And by the way, artists still create work for kings, except those "kings" today are corporations and those artists work in advertising agencies. It's really no different when you think about it.
I am so fucking excited that this guy graduated from the art school I'm attending after summer.
What is he on and where can I get some?
what is dis about
i like how he always uses food in his work somehow. i watched this one where he smeared ketchup all over his body and face and painted with his face and head.
@wellgoodsafeperson Isn't this Paul McCarthy? Who is Neil Buchanan?
KANYE SENT ME HERE 🔥
Cool ye
