- Larry Poons in Conversation with Karen Wilkin. The following interview was produced in collaboration with MediaCombo to complement "Color as Field: American Painting, 1950-1975," an exhibition organized by the AFA. Recorded in New York in 2007, this interview-divided into eight episodes-features painter Larry Poons in a rare conversation with the exhibition's guest curator, Karen Wilkin.
Who knew what a fine subject Mr Poons would be? His generous comments towards Ms. Frankenthaler's contribution and consistent talent, is a pleasure to hear. Thanks to the video makers for including stills of examples during the conversation. Really makes a fine flow.
Poons has fantastic, freeing paintings.
He is a man who speaks his mine. Honesty is usually the best the policy, but some times can be painful.
Painting is easy to do when you don't know how but really hard when you do - Degas
God these tidbits are tasty.
...sad
um em, yeah, mm um, yeah, um em, yea. Woman, ask the question and then shut up and let him answer.
how 'bout you shut the fuck up, she's just being an engaged listener
The terms throwing and pouring sounds filthy when talking about fine art on canvas. What good is an artist if they can't re-create his/her own painting. In a parallel world Pollock & Poons' works will never be considered an art but Picasso & Da Vinci's works will always be valued just the same anywhere.
What good is an artist if they can't create what they want?
You dont get it because you hold onto preconceived notions about what art is supposed to be.
@@anthonylopez9594 Not that! It's because i'm not some pretentious snob who'll take a stained canvas for an art piece if an expert tells them so.
@@obscuraapit not sure if you get it. In Greenberg's words, you'd probably be into kitsch.
@@leonglindy Oh! I know enough to say that money laundering also takes place in the pretentious world of refined arts. Monsieur Pierre Brassau makes a good case, if you're already not familiar with his name.
