Hey can someone help me out- How do you write the authors name he is talking about? 'Degger'? The one he mentions talking about 'self', 'experience' and 'the essence of beeing'? Thanks :))
That is exactly why he is a poor artist uncapable of making a portait with strength. He seems to me that he is a wealthy guy, with contacts and with lots and lots of blablabla.
George Condo is a brilliant artist, also a very generous one, he shares his vision and approach in tangible ways that most have not - I'm thankful for that....
Boy it’s amazing listening to other artist and hearing how they process and think and how similar it Is to the way you think etc. its actually comforting because you feel less alone.
My father lived with DeKooning and his wife for some time after they both got out of rehab. He would sit in the barn and watch, smoke and chat while DeKooning painted. At times they would sit in silence for lengths of time while DeKooning stared at his work, from time to time rising to add a stroke or two to the work. My dad said it would take him months or longer to complete a painting. My dad said he could never understand how DeKooning knew when the painting was finished. DeKooning said he knew when he had no more ideas to put in it. My dad was not an art guy, so you can imagine what he must have been thinking.
He made me feel like I’m not crazy as an Artist, I love creating art and putting it together like a puzzle with a wondering mind. I see the world very colorful, fun and magical even when it’s not like that and that’s the type of art I like to create. Thank you for making me feel like my creative mind is not mental but just creative.
I swear this is one of the most valuable videos on youtube...a glimpse in the mind, studio, and work flow of one of the most interesting n prolific artists of this time
I just found George while searching for great artist documentaries while I work in my studio. LOVE this dude! He's the kind of artist I strive to be as a person. Very likable, has a great eye, not perverse for the sake of shock-factor. Really enjoyed finding this. Thank you, George!
Listening to Condo speak was like enjoying a superb meal.... In that, I didn't want it to end. I always appreciated his work, but after listening to him express himself... I have even more respect for him & his work.
This seriously aligns with my vision of art. It's great to hear someone put into words everything in my mind about this. This video encapsulates everything that a lot of the world doesn't understand about art. There is no ''better'' art, there are no rules to art. Art is pure self-expression and that is what makes it the truth.
George Condo is always one of my "go to" inspirations. Even more so after watching this articulate and expressive telling of his early influences and his point that painting is no hierarchy to drawing ( yes!). I will watch this video again. Thanks, George Condo, for sharing your views. Now, back to my drawing table...
I come back to this video all the time. I absolutely love the urgency he has to just make stuff with whatever's around. Obviously, the pages were set up for the video but I'm referring to the simplicity of a piece of paper, some kind of drawing utensil and the right attitude.
Julie Delves do you know what a draftsman is? How can you consider this man a “wonderful” one? Have you seen a Dürer, perhaps? He is a “wonderful” draftsman
@@frncscbtncrt Condo is by all means a great draftsman,you can see his talent in his dinosaur sketches when he was 6 years old. Dürer is a "once in a few hundred years" kind of draftsman.
Condo is a genius...the part about how he merged his drawings and made them as big and important as a large scale paintings was fascinating to me. Why is their a hierarchy in the first place? Merging the two mediums creates a whole new style of modern art
I like the metaphor of drawing “ kind of like you walk through a forest ....” and I like the focus on tempo and the meaning in the process....and very interesting to listen to the journey from abstraction into realism - and I truly enjoy the freedom possibility in art - that you do not have to follow any rules - you can play with them and use thectransformation that is possible from using different languages at the same time - and something happens And I truly like the play with languages of isms - and the funny thought that today everything is a kind of artificial realism and that art is about true experience -
So many people have asked what he’s using to make these ‘drawing-paintings’ - the thick smooth drawing media are Pigment Sticks by R&F Paints. It’s like oil paint in stick form. Other paint manufacturers make them and have different names for them (oil bar, oil stick, etc.) but R&F Paints make the smoothest most buttery ones.
He's very engaging, I like him. I haven't been a huge fan of his work but it is interesting. After watching this I now see there is more depth to his work than I initially thought. He is well educated on art history .....which is not so common among contemporary artists.
it's amazing that this was recorded in 2017 while the comments that he makes are even more relevant today around what is real and what is perceived as real 33:24
I love the way Condo thinks and works. I would love to see his work in person; even more, I would love to own one of his pieces. He knows his stuff. He knows the vernacular. I think he's brilliant.
The first time I saw George's Condo's work was in a gallery in Paris in 1984. I had just arrived from New York to push my career as a painter in France. I always wandered how a 27 year old from some mountainous region had made it to that gallery. Everyone having any kind of success in those days was below 30 years of age.
Ugh! Gertrude Stein's Picasso! Thank you Condo for saying words that resonate deeply and help me feel less an alien in this philistine world obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses.
I think the confidence comes from doing all the work in art school and doing well. Mastering the skills and then throwing that all out the window and then making art the way you want knowing you could always go back to the basics if you need or want too.
It's so refreshing to experiences the artists process of creating an artwork and having some insights of the work and thought process. We've started a conversations series with diverse artists ourselves at our website and our TH-cam channel. Louisiana Channel has been an inspiration for us throughout. Amazing work.
Classic art and classical music are tools that enhance integrated intellectual symmetry!. Thanks for the math and science review on dimensions in angel variations.
I didn’t know what his painting was about… but I felt the emotions and artificial personas from his images of paintings. His artist’s talk really does explain well of what he does.
About the "don't need to follow any rules " very refreshing for me as just at my beginning of art gurney.. I .quite often afraid to do smth not "by the rules" :) thank you for that video. And also my admire of how confident all lines were done ❤
Very electrifying experience to see Mr George Condo at work. Equally brilliant is the way he explains his approach to drawing and painting,his thoughts and how he arrived at them. Definitely an active brain in there,so alive,so articulate. You are alert and want to catch everything. I feel inspired. Thank you,Sir. It is a rare experience to hear you and see you. Thank you again and again.
I just ran across this interview. I really enjoyed the entire thing. Thanks George for being so candid and understandable. I am also an artist and I call all art abstraction because what we paint is an illusion or an abstraction of our mind.
I've seen a lot of video's and I apreciate when the artist self take he time to explain what art means to him and also to open a door to his iner world. I dont't like 'self-made' artists wich are beginning to say that their art are sold with milions euro, etc. Many artists on youtube are trying only to 'show' some tehnick of some time lapse of their work and I find that the best is to combine tekst and work to a painting. This way we can figure out much the vision, the aspirations and the expectations of an artist. He is not a kind of 'machine' who paint without knowing what he's doing only coping from the big masters. When I can see also that he's busy with fundamental questions about life, people and arthistory than I can consider him complete. So I admire the freedom and the critique vew of art of Condo and also his mature way tot explain everything sometimes with a gliter of dry humor.

Guys what kind of pen he used in beginning of the video?
Thanks
@@dico787z Yes. Martin Heidegger- the Nazi
He makes every stroke with such confidence, never second guessing himself. That's pretty inspiring to me.
Larilee there is consistently second guessing. It’s the being comfortable with it being wrong that brings the confidence. :)
Yeah, well I don't think you have to hesitate to do something like that, he's basically going ape mode and fucking shit up lmao
That ability comes from having done thousands of drawings. Consistent practice will develop that kind of confidence and ability.
I do the same when I order a cheeseburger with such confidence, never thought to buy something else, now I can be your inspiration too ...
That is exactly why he is a poor artist uncapable of making a portait with strength. He seems to me that he is a wealthy guy, with contacts and with lots and lots of blablabla.
I’ve watched this video so many many times and I keep coming back to it! 39 minutes of Condo isn’t enough!!!
The best 39 minutes and 2 seconds I've spent looking at a screen for a long time. Art is the truth.
It's all a drama one does to act in the society. It's acting. These people are influenced. It's not their og.
Timothy Lee I like that.
Art is the lie who tells truth...that said Picasso
MarkDavies definitely !!! 🙌🏼
@Timothy Lee Death is the only certainty of life. But love is truth.
"Art is the truth and everything else is a lie." What an amazing human...
Pretentious statement. This guy said nothing insightful.
Kind of on the line of what Jonathan Meese would say who speaks of the "dictatorship of art".
kind of a stupid statement but k
there is Beauty.. and there is Schlock
@@northbay4619You are blinded by your own lies.
George Condo is a brilliant artist, also a very generous one, he shares his vision and approach in tangible ways that most have not - I'm thankful for that....
I love how open he is to every art. Doesn’t seem to judge any of it, especially his own.
So judgement is bad?
@@timtench3334 apparently it is smh
@@timtench3334judgment isn’t always negative but I think it can lead an artist to be limited in what they do and that can be negative
lol johnhill? i see how u got inspired by him lol

Dude....were all HUMAN...everyone is BLESSED with a gift...it's up to the human to figure it out! ☔
"Art is the truth, and everything else is a lie". What a great quote.
I believe it's contrary to Picasso's "art is a lie that reveals the truth". I like both approaches.
@@alexsandraja I think both ideas are compatible
It's a bumper sticker.
He's great at explaining his ideas.
being a good linguist is crucial
to paraphrase D.Chappelle, he has enough time and money to do something that most americans are not capable of: think about how he feels
Everybody has enough time, and it doesn't take money. They simply choose not to.
@@seigeengine Yeah. People use their time poorly. But using time well is a skill.
He doesn't have any ideas
I come back to this documentary over and over again with new feelings every time.
I love George’s work, to me, he is one of the greatest.
i come back every once and awhile to watch this, so great. thank you!

weird how the artists who cant draw and paint well insist that all art is equal LOL
The DeKooning comment made sense to me. This helped me. Thanks Condo

Thanks, George Condo, for sharing your views. Now, back to my drawing table...
I could listen for hours to him .. big love.
This dude just broke every rule my art teachers told me not to break. Especially adding cartoon elements.
You can't teach art, you can assist development though
i think of art teachers as foundation. not final products. breaking the rules is the only way to make it suprisingly
My art teacher always said can’t break the rules before you know them
Your teacher forgot to mention when you finish the course "And now break any rule that i have said"
@@Emcostanza As soon as a baby is born, he's breaking the rules...Until someone teaches him rules.
I come back to this video all the time. I absolutely love the urgency he has to just make stuff with whatever's around. Obviously, the pages were set up for the video but I'm referring to the simplicity of a piece of paper, some kind of drawing utensil and the right attitude.
Drawing as a thinking, this is such a great example of visual language of an artist
Condo is a great Artist and seems like a great guy to boot!
It is hard to know what is real or not today. Yet truth and beauty are always revealed in the end.
Terrific interview, he is very articulate and a wonderful draftsman.
Julie Delves do you know what a draftsman is? How can you consider this man a “wonderful” one? Have you seen a Dürer, perhaps? He is a “wonderful” draftsman

hes a horrible draftsman the hell are you talking about
It's so satisfying watching him at work. Also never seen abstract anime, so that's a first.

The first Artist i can truly relate to. The way he explain things is just so fascinating and authentic i have a big appreciation for this Genius.
I love the way he speaks about art
I loved this interview so much. I love listening to him! I can’t imagine having a work of his. Fascinating stuff. ♥♥♥
I admire his unique vision and approach. He is very eloquent in explaining his mindset. Wonderful work.
A great artist,as genuine as can exist! I love his style and his work.
I like the metaphor of drawing “ kind of like you walk through a forest ....”
and I like the focus on tempo and the meaning in the process....and very interesting to listen to the journey from abstraction into realism - and I truly enjoy the freedom possibility in art - that you do not have to follow any rules -
you can play with them and use thectransformation that is possible from using different languages at the same time - and something happens
And I truly like the play with languages of isms - and the funny thought that today everything is a kind of artificial realism and that art is about true experience -
I would be so proud of him if he were my kid. Dear goodness. Enjoyed his conversation.

that will sell for 30k easy SMH crazy
The Prisoner piece is my favourite,it spoke to me even more when he explained this work that is unbearably relatable to my life...Art is life.

What does he drawing on? I know what kind of oil marker he’s using but is that canvas or paper?
Sooting take on art and it’s parallels to life itself
I was painting in oil at 14 years old. It was never the mess George Condo described it to be!! I'm 72 year old, btw!!!
His words on tempo in artwork are phenomenal
Wow!!!! This is the first time I heard of George Condo. He is brilliant amazing!
I love listening to this man speak
have never heard of Condo but im very now influenced by the way he explains art.
Awesome. I loverly open clean cut painting …………. Less than more but sooo bold , stunning Alrere
Mr. George Condo is so well spoken... Great abstract painter and cartoonist
Jahha H i mean... You know...i mean....you know...i mean ...you know during an hour Is it well spoken?
Freddy Felipe Gutierrez well you know, if that's all you heard then that's what you got from it. Doesn't take away from my opinion. 👍
Anyone have any idea as to the type of large paper sheets he is using with oil stick? Love this video always come back to it
Thanks for this introduction to George Condo. I am impressed.
Ugh! Gertrude Stein's Picasso! Thank you Condo for saying words that resonate deeply and help me feel less an alien in this philistine world obsessed with keeping up with the Joneses.

Just dicouvered this channel great to enjoy!
This is a gift. Thank you George and thank you Louisiana Channel.
You're welcome!
I would like to thank your Channel for bringing us an excellent opportunity to learn firsthand, from his beautiful introspective views...👍
I really resonate with how he describes how he paints, he's very good at explaining himself
I feel like he's saying everything i was thinking. Love his philosophical views on art. The 2 are very closely linked
Brilliant artist. Great talk. Thank you for this.
Drawing-paintings. Nice expression and it is what it has always been for me. It is a basic pictorial language 🎵🖤🎶
thank you so much for your existence sir...
The human condition to create is Art , beautiful lesson
Ooooo I like this tempo idea.
Very nice to hear this guy talk.
RIP POP SMOKE. "George Condo, cost more then your condo, wait"
An artist who does not only know how to express himself in paintings/drawings, but also in the most poetic diction.
this was so deep, especially about him experiencing music
Very good monologue while painting my interior walls during the quarantine. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you,sometimes I feel like an alien. When I hear George say things I have thought, I don't feel alone.
