Easily the best living painter in the world.. in my humble opinion.
Before seeing or hearing Lucian Freud speak I thought he might be a more forceful person. I figured that the man would have been much less delicate than he is in person as his paintings are so strong and self assured.
I almost feel uncomfortable watching him as he seems naked, even if he is fully clothed.
The Lucian Freud interview is in 5 parts, so do go watch them all on YouTube. If you are a painter, you have to watch it all.
I found the video on Leith O'Malley's Facebook page. I also started a Facebook page for Art News Blog. I haven't figured out what I do with it yet though! ¶ 10:44 PM

Art News Blog is FIVE years old. That must make me some kind of blogger or arts writer or something. I'm most comfortable with the "something" label though. Someone called me an art critic recently and I didn't know how to react. He said it in a way that was supposed to be flattering but I was actually very offended.
If I was forced to label myself it would be Wanderer or Watcher of things. If I had to put something serious on my business card (which I don't have.. even though ALL artists should have one) it would be Painter.
I'm really not a fan of labels and boxes though. We get too comfortable wearing them and before long we can't live without them. It doesn't matter if the label is one of power and influence or it's one of lack and degradation, we cling to them like our life depends on them. A lot of opportunities are missed and interesting paths not taken because of labels and our fear of peeling them off.
Ok, I'm starting to rant and getting off topic. Happy Birthday Art News Blog!!
Thanks for reminding me Woo ;-) ¶ 10:43 PM

I stopped reading books and news on the environment a while ago as they're just too depressing, but with this one they at least throw in a little hope towards the end. Even if you're not interested in the environment and think the planet is doing just fine, it's worth watching for the spectacular landscapes. We do live on an amazing piece of rock.
I wish someone would tell environmentalists and green groups that fear doesn't work with everyone. You can hit me with a stick all day and I won't move an inch but if you dangle a carrot in front of me I'll get up and do something about it. ¶ 11:27 PM

Like Gaguins ham myself, I tend to the geometric, and even decorative at times. music my thing. Though Goya's cow head rather interesting, if not sparking pangs of hunger.
Shiraz goes rather well with lamb though, get your neighbor Kiwis specialty and marinated in wine, olive oil, garlic, onions, and rosemary and mmmmmmmmmm. With tasty rosemary grilled potatoes and Italian dressing and butter asparagus and you gotta feast.
fatten up for you cali walkabout, we got lots of over 10k foot mountains left that arent burned, yet. like your direction, now gotta go make a omelette with avacados, do you have those? Ambrosia of the gods when made with salsa verde, cilantro, green onions and garlic into guacamole. Not ruined with sour cream or other nasty cheap outs.

Here's a distinguished Australian art expert talking about art. Please don't watch this video if the F-word offends.
The actor is Heath Franklin (not Eric Bana) and he's playing the role of career criminal Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read. The Vincent/ear thing is worth noting as Chopper cut off his own ears.. and I believe he was shot several times also. The last artwork is of the Australian artist Ken Done for those that don't know (most people outside of Australia I would imagine). ¶ 9:55 PM

ARTINFO has reported on the new retail outlet of gallery mogul Larry Gagosian..
"The sleek, 2,500-square-foot, bi-level space, which opened to the public this past weekend, also inaugurates London import (and Gagosian artist) Damien Hirst’s publishing company and retail shop Other Criteria on the lower level, making for a kind of casual art emporium with a fancy ZIP code." ArtInfo
I'm not against making money from art, but I can't help thinking some of the super-famous art dealers and artists are taking advantage of poor rich folk. At the end of the day though, it's a reflection of society rather than the gallery or artist. People love stuff, especially expensive stuff that can make them feel a part of the cool club. So, I'm sure the Gagosian retail store will be a great success.
See some of the products available to buy on the ArtInfo article. ¶ 8:42 PM

I'm susbcribed to a whole bunch of newsletters and am bombarded with all kinds of promotional emails, most of which I never open. But one that I always open is from Other Criteria. It is a collective of artists, pushing all kinds of limited editions, prints, and publications, but I really only look at what Damien Hirst is selling.
I find the man endlessly fascinating. How can a man that sells deckchairs and clocks still pull off auction sales like he does? I'm sure I'll tire of him someday and hate him for what he's doing to art, but that day hasn't come yet. I still love him, even if I don't care much for his art. I almost bought the Damien Hirst clock below, but I just bought a whole bunch of art supplies (why is cadmium so damn expensive?!), so my art budget has blown out this month.

I can't honestly say how useful this application is as I don't own an iPhone, but it sounds like a good idea. It's a free application (I believe there is also a pro version for a small fee) available from iTunes which guides you to art museums, exhibitions and galleries around the world. If it does what it's supposed to do it would be a must have for art travelers.

I was asked a few questions by a student journalist at City University London recently..
1) First of all can you tell me a little bit about your work? What themes do you explore in your art and why? What do you strive to achieve through it?
I basically just paint what I want, how I want. I have no social or moral message to give. I stopped selling paintings 18 months or more ago, with no intention to start selling again until I can no longer fit in my house, which has brought about a change in how I see painting. I'm now thinking more about conceptual art and looking at ideas more than thinking about who would buy a work.
2) Recently the Tate Modern was forced to remove Richard Prince’s piece 'Spiritual America’ from its Pop Life: Art in a Material World exhibition due to a public protest. What is your opinion on the matter? Do you think the piece was justly removed?
I don't know. We live in a sick world, so we have to draw the line somewhere with images of young people. Having said that, I wish we lived in a world that could see the images as innocent and beautiful. So, as much as I hate censorship, I'm not really sure how I feel about cases like this. The Australian photographer Bill Henson has dealt with similar issues.
3) Do you think art institutions should have the freedom to display boundary-pushing art that may offend certain members of the public? Why?
I think it's their job to push the boundaries. People that are easily offended shouldn't visit galleries. They should stay home in their safe, comfortable home and drink tea quietly. Art is either going to look good hanging on your wall or is trying to tell you something. Both forms are equally valid for me.
4) What do you think pushes an artist to create pieces that can cause possible public backlash? Is this a reaction to modern reality or just a means of getting publicity?
It's both. Most artists by nature are outsiders and like poking sticks at insiders, it amuses them to no end. You could also say it is a sign of the times we live in where you are nothing unless you are the biggest, loudest or most annoying. Many shock artists probably just needed more hugs growing up. Damien Hirst has made a career out of it. His career has been so filled with "shock" that when he paints a relatively normal looking exhibition (like his current one) it is looked at as shocking.
5) What do you think is the social role of art?
I believe there are two kinds of art: an art that should hang well on the wall and an art that has something to say. The latter should use any means possible to speak its message.
6) What do you think are the major changes in the public's attitude towards art? Do you think our modern society is quick at judging and finding offence in everything?
I don't know. I don't think art is really that important to the general public. Nobody really takes much notice of art unless an artist is doing something outrageous. Being an artist or being involved in the art industry tricks you into thinking that art is everything and everyone must appreciate it as it's so important to you, but the average guy on the street couldn't care less about art.
Artists like the fact that society is quick to judge and easily offended. Many rely on these facts and play to them.
7) Do you think that by challenging conventional views art can truly make a change in the public

Here's some quotes by fellow Australian artist Leith O'Malley, from an interview here at Art and Art Ed.
"Remember there are not better artists, just better publicists!"
Leith O'Malley
"When I am creating art... I have a real sense of excitement and even enlightenment. Just me and the work. It’s still there when a painting is completed but never as strong as the point where you are still trying to fit all the pieces together be it compositional, aesthetically or the colour and tone decisions along the way."
Leith O'Malley
"Dismiss nothing unless you are informed enough about it to have an opinion. It is a lot like music.. in that there are so many different genres, ways to enjoy, interpretations and possibilities to create yourself. Don’t have your blinkers on and be open to understanding and enjoying all forms of art as in music."

Since discovering the iPod I now rarely listen to whole albums while I paint as I just create play lists to suit my mood. But some albums just play well all the way through so I still use them in the studio.
Here's Ten albums that have kept me company during the completion of a painting or two..
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate
Anything by Leonard is good to paint to though.Antony and the Johnsons - Antony and the Johnsons
This self titled album is a beauty. Antony Hegarty sings like an angel. All his stuff is good.The Cinematic Orchestra - Ma Fleur
Lovely album.. how could you not love this?Angus and Julia Stone - A Book Like This
Australian brother and sister duo.Eddie Vedder - Music for the Motion Picture Into the Wild
For some reason, this album always makes me want to give away all my possessions and travel. Perhaps it's because I saw the movie.Joan Valent - Insula Poetica
Beautifully haunting music.. yum.Moby - Go: The Very Best of Moby
I sometimes need a lift in the studio.Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Boatman's Call
This album has a habit of taking me back to darker times, so I'm careful how I use it.Hope Sandoval & the Warm Inventions - Bavarian Fruit Bread
Her Mazzy Star albums are nice too.PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love
I no longer have a working version of this CD but that's because it used to live in my studio.
I really do like a lot of different types of music though. What are your TOP albums that you couldn't live without in the studio? I need some new tunes on my itunes.

Probably the best exhibition I have seen in Australia (coming from a fan of Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cezanne). Masterpieces from Paris has 9 Paul Gauguins, 7 Van Goghs and 8 Cezannes. So it's more than one or two good paintings thrown in with a bunch of weaker paintings like the usual "blockbuster" exhibition. The Van Goghs alone are worth making the effort to see the exhibition.
It has been called the "most valuable collection of art ever to be exhibited in Australia."
The works come from the Musee d'Orsay in Paris and will be on display at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra until April.

The good thing about those pathetic art scammers has been that their story never changes. They're moving from place A to place B, they need some of your wonderful art to hang in their new home, and for some strange reason the stupid woman is always pregnant (God help the world if these people do actually breed).
Well, the idiots are evolving now and are starting to change their stories up a bit. Now they're "art dealers" and "art exhibitors" looking to buy your work. Here's an example by the scammer Hanks Thomas..
Hi Andrea,My name is hanks.I'm an art dealer/exhibitor based in bradford in the united kingdom.I deal in original artworks and also showcase them in exhibitions all over the world.I got to see your works via the search engine while looking for artworks of great impression and i'm willing to buy from you the artwork stated as the subject of this email.Kindly let me know if it's available for sale.If yes,quote the price and let me know the method(s) of payment that is acceptable to you.I'm looking forward to reading from you.Have a wonderful day... Regards,Hanks
Lesson for today: Don't accept checks/cheques online when selling artwork. Use Paypal.com or Escrow.com.

" refers to the deferment of actions or tasks to a later time. Psychologists often cite such behavior as a mechanism for coping with the anxiety associated with starting and/or completing any task or decision. There are three criteria for a behavior to be classified as : it must be counterproductive, needless, and delaying.
may result in stress, a sense of guilt and crisis, severe loss of personal productivity, as well as disapproval by others for not meeting responsibilities or commitments. These feelings combined may promote further . While it is regarded as normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning. Chronic may be a sign of an underlying psychological disorder."
So, I have a label I can hide behind now. It's not me to blame for the lack of posts, it's the "psychological disorder" of "chronic " which I suffer from to blame. I knew all along that it wasn't my fault and wikipedia has proven me right. ;-)

I'm really good at making lists. I'm a list person. Without lists I watch too much tv, surf the web, or read too much.
I create lists that are too ambitious as I rarely ever complete the jobs on them. Which in some ways shows the masochist in me as I know I'm setting myself up to fail, but in other ways it gets me off my fanny (I have always wanted to use the word "fanny" in a sentence as it makes me laugh. In Australia the fanny is different to what a fanny is in the US).
Here's my To Do List for Art News Blog this year. I figured if I published the list it would make me more likely to do it.
Create or pay for a new blog design. Art News Blog has a pretty ordinary design and it hasn't changed much in more than 5 years. I might even get a designer to create a new logo. I might even add a little color to the design.Move the blog to another blogging platform. Blogger is making some hosting changes so I figured now might be a good time to jump ship. Not because I don't like Blogger but because I just want change.Post at least 5 times each week.Allow more guest posts by other bloggers and artists.Monetize the blog. I currently make about $0,000.00 on the blog so it shouldn't be too difficult to increase that amount. I'm thinking, offer advertising spaces to artists, which might be a challenge as artists are TIGHT, like duck's ass tight when it comes to spending money on marketing themselves. So I might look at approaching some art supply companies, galleries, art publications or just go the affiliate route.Post reviews on more products. Encourage companies to send products to me (I love receiving gifts in the post) and mention them. It could be win/win/win if done right. I get a surprise in the mail, the company gets exposure, and you learn about a wonderful new product! Competitions could be an option too, where I just tell the company to send the products to a reader of the blog.Respond to emails and comments!! Argh, sorry if I haven't replied to you! Don't take it personally, I suck. I do read everything, I just haven't been replying to much lately.Keep up to date with what is happening and write about it! Pretty straight forward this one, I just have to look at my domain name to remind me; artnewsblog.com.Do more artist profiles. If I find an interesting artist online, I should do a post on them.
Anyone know of reasonably affordable blog designer that can make me a spiffy new blog and tranfer Art News Blog from Blogger to.. umm.. Wordpress or that other blogging platform that I can't think of right now? Perhaps I should see a logo designer first.

Popularity: 25% Tagged with: Artssometimes you have to be the one to tell yourself no in regards to a project you’d really like to pursue. The artist in you wants to move forward at all costs, as he sees the benefit to the program. The administrator, however, is the one responsible for the money or the time or the facilities or all of the above, and often has to play the realist to the artist’s dreamer role. It’s tough to manage, and I’d love to hear how my colleagues make it work in their situations.
I think the visit to the American Visionary Art Museum was certainly a highlight of the conference, and I’d like to encourage Americans for the Arts to seek out cities with venues such as this for future conferences. I am always encouraged by examples of those in our field that are making bold, successful statements. I think it’s important, at conferences such as these, to make sure that there is a direct connection with art itself

This raises another point about crowd-sourcing philanthropy: there’s a reason that corporations (and foundations) have a grants process in the first place. A more formal grants process rewards a strong mission and effective management, not vote count. The idea of democratizing this process sounds nice, but will the money really be used effectively? Program officers at corporate foundations extensively vet potential organizations to fund based on the financial feasibility of their projects and as other factors that contribute to a project’s success, rather than persuasiveness or brand power. Voters’ motivation for supporting one nonprofit over another may be pure, but others might vote based on their affinity for an organization’s logo or celebrity spokesperson.
How do arts organizations fit into the picture? Both the Members’ Project and Pepsi Refresh fund organizations in several fields, including arts and culture. But in competitions where there is no mission-based separation, such as Chase Community Giving and USA Today’s Twitter campaign, can arts organizations compete with nonprofits with a social mission?
Whatever the pros and cons, it seems the trend is certainly gaining traction. We’d love to hear what you think of this trend. Have you voted in any of these contests, or has your organization participated? Do you think they are an effective way for businesses to help the arts and other nonprofits?

Whereas arts education enables students to develop critical thinking and problem solving skills, imagination and creativity, discipline, alternative ways to communicate, and express feelings and ideas, and cross-cultural understanding, which supports academic success across the curriculum as well as personal growth outside the classroom; Whereas the nonprofit arts sector is an economic engine and plays a significant role in the economic health of communities large and small with direct expenditures of wages and benefits as well as goods and services;

“All Art is Political” (an interview with John Waters)
Posted by goheru Labels: interview, Political”, Waters)Of the close to 1,700 applicants, the 49 highest-rated proposals were selected to receive funding, and of the 49, three are directly related to arts education:
Studio in a School, Inc. (New York, NY)The Beaverton School District Arts for Learning Lessons Project (Beaverton, OR)Everyday Arts for Special Education (New York City Department of Education, District 75)
Each of the three projects falls in the Development category and can receive up to $5 million provided a private sector match of 20 percent is secured by September 8, 2010.
Studio in a School, Inc. is guided by President and Chief Operating Officer Tom Cahill, a member of the Arts Education Council of Americans for the Arts, and we congratulate Tom and the organization for receiving the grant and already securing a private sector match.
The outcome of the work being done with this grant funding will provide strong arguments for strengthening arts education in ESEA reauthorization, and we look forward to sharing the results with the arts education field. When the i3 program was being created, with the support of arts advocates from around the country, Americans for the Arts filed comments with the U.S. Department of Education that led to increased ability for arts education programs like these to be able to apply for these grants.
The full list of grantees, and links to their grant descriptions, can be found on the Education Week website.
