This is what A.I. generated art is deprived of; a soul, an intellect, a sensibility and sensitivity, a curiosity. Art today unfortunately has a certainty to it, rather than leaving room for the mind to imaginatively fill in the blanks. It's all about prestige and profit. This man is a treasure, I hope more documentaries will continue to be made like him.
I love how I can connect to this man: 30 without real work experience. Just keep making stuff, if it's broken, you might fix it, or just spent the same time making something else which does work :)
"I think a central category is recognition. And for that to operate you need to have an open field. If you have a very set plan of where you have to walk, where the drawing is going, it makes it much harder to allow yourself to also see what's arriving by chance through fortune at the edges. And I think that's this very important category - both theoretically but also in terms of strategy. How does one work in the studio to enable his best to flower? And one of the ways is not to have a script or a storyboard or a clear plan; to not know the answer and to hang on to as long as possible that provisionality and uncertainty."
Greta... Quintessential observation of wonder at work... Fluency of thought openly taking a form in a Gestalt of action, leaving a mark virtually unseen prior, indelible but palpable to discernment. Inspirational comment, Artist and video. Thanks ALL ❄️
There was a great exhibition of his work at the Whitechapel Gallery in London a few years ago - his work is brilliant, particularly love his animations 😃
25:45 In this section he mostly states the obvious, and I disagree that all is personal, subjective. Reality in itself is objective, and art can also be another way to explore that which exists beyong our individual perception.
I agree. How sad, there are only a handful comments so far. Here, one of the last geniuses of our time, whereas the rest, the brain dead, huddle at instagram.
I think it’s interesting what he’s able to get away with in terms of production quality in relation to more commercial work. Is the philosophy really so thorough? Could he art direct this illustrative work? Or is the work non-illustrative? If non-illustrative, back to my first question. Maybe I’m having a hard time accepting a folk artist who is still alive.
You can see a film of William Kentridge's exhibition in London at the Marian Goodman Gallery on The Art Channel here: th-cam.com/video/Ljd1IuXyu_0/w-d-xo.html
His work is coming to the Milwaukee Art Museum June-August 2018. I can not wait. So excited. I love the fact that he works with black charcoal but wears a white shirt. I once saw a movie of Francis Bacon and he was painting in a suit despite the fact the floor had a foot of garbage. The mind is a mysterious thing.

hard to believe there are only 7 comments. what a beautiful guide to the inner world of a talented , unique artist. Thank you Lou Channel.
He's resisted what the late Jacques Barzun called "The gangrene of specialisation" - We need more like him !
Very honest ,articulate and insightful
William Kentridge is a genius

" Do not try to adjust your T.V. set " ;) It's only your mind that has expanded, channel yourself wisely.

What's the music that plays in the beginning?

Maybe the process and the concept are more important than the finish…
Somewhere Man Ray smiles...
If you listen to what he says, he answers your question. ‘Finished’ artwork closes off the stuff that arrives by chance.
If you like William, the you will also like SUN XUN. check out his artwork too👍👍
ONLY PHENOMENAL
