Mr. Whitten, thank you for this story/life share. You sir are not just one of the boys. I am so sorry that we as human beings treat each other with such sorrow/inhumanity. God Bless you sir. I can only imagine the beauty, peace and tranquility you have now in heaven. Thank you
What a beautifully articulate human. So sad that the public often discovers artists only after their passing, but I guess its better than to not discover at all.
Saw his last work at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, last weekend, included in a small show of his work. I'm sorry he's off the planet. He understood us, the bizarre earthlings, in a rational and thorough way. And he articulated his comprehensions through paint. I heard him speak at MCASD at La Jolla. He was passionate, generous. And he was proud that Obama became President. I'm happy to have been there. Thank you Jack Whitten.
So glad to have seen this video. I love to listen to people of any color, speak humble words with truth and wisdom. Love great art made by great artist.
I just watched a young person doing drawings and has over 6 million subs. An influencer. Here we have a passionate seasoned artist, who probably earns far less than his worth.
It's sad, to see that an American artist isn't given more exposure to his greatness. Recent history is recognizing more perspectives than the myopic European history viewpoint. Art critique, theory and sales should try harder to value of who and what we have sown.
Maybe this is a dumb question, but does he distinguish his mosaics from his paintings? Or are they all just “paintings” Are the chips ceramic or dried paint?
The dried slabs of acrylic he is using as he mentioned, "tesserae" or units. The working methods in the film, adhering the pieces to a substrate are very similar to contemporary artists working in mosaic with glass or stone.
It's OK to express how you didn't like the art but back it up with an insight. It's more useful this way. Otherwise no one cares that Joe Schmo just "doesn't like it". You might as well just do something else.
You're right it's only a hoppy because living is on art not possible people don't buy art work , me also want to be an artist but things which I create, no one wants to buy so now I thinking that , I can through them out , no value an artist ,that's v sad ,even so Allah himself is an artist but that's the tyranny
Do art for yourself. Do it cuz it makes you happy. If you only want to make art to sell, then it probably won't make you happy which will lead to you being less creative and frustrated.
to the negative responders to marys comment: I dare you to like every piece of art you see! everyone has a right to their opinion...try to understand that it's ok to be different. why can't we all get along even though we have different opinions?
And still your craft is burger making at McDonald's. Or wait here's an artful idea. While you have all that time Make McDonalds art out of all the nasty ingredients ketchup and mustard. Pretentious right. Oh while looked in that corporation's hell. You are a fckng moron. You have to be a human to understand the principles of an artist. you're just not one of them. And no I am not saying he is the best and you must follow him. But he is damn good. Passionate. And str8 up humanistic. He used his fckng resources.

Gracias! Buen argumento.!
Masterful
thank you very much for sharing
Well, I just learned of Jack Whitten, and he's already gone :( Sure do love his artwork... :)
What an inspiration
Holy Shit Jack's work is amazing
agreed
It's sad, to see that an American artist isn't given more exposure to his greatness. Recent history is recognizing more perspectives than the myopic European history viewpoint. Art critique, theory and sales should try harder to value of who and what we have sown.
What a great guy!
He chose art over medicine. Good call, Mr. Whitten. RIP.
idk its was that much of a good call
@@luks386 what do you mean by that? He was a brilliant artist

Beautiful! 🙏🏻💖💕
I dont understand english. But he is beautiful. I wonder what kind of stones are those...
good
Ah, Shit, that was beautiful.
what is the name of that last (piano) song starting around 8:22 ?
Amazing artist overall!
Rip big homie
My first professor a 2 semesters @ CU
if you can sell what you made you are an artist even if I don't like it
Not always....o e could surely sell something just to make money. But of course to be a professional artist, you need to sel, your work
Does anyone know the adhesive he is using at 1:00?
wascally1 probably an impasto gel. Drys clear. So many products to check out chroma.inc
Maybe this is a dumb question, but does he distinguish his mosaics from his paintings? Or are they all just “paintings”
Are the chips ceramic or dried paint?
they're dried paint, "slabs of acrylic."
I believe it's dried paint that has been cut up.
The dried slabs of acrylic he is using as he mentioned, "tesserae" or units. The working methods in the film, adhering the pieces to a substrate are very similar to contemporary artists working in mosaic with glass or stone.
Interesting
beautifull 🌻
The manifestion of an empty heart.

Yeah, still I create to make myself happy
megalh kallitexnara
question: IF IM USING THIS FOR A ART ASSIGNMENT CAUSE MY TEACHER ASSIGNED IT TO ME WHY IS HE CUSSIN
I doubt it really bothers you and I'm sure u cuss just as much.
Not my cup of tea.
Not at all surprising.
Why don't you go have a cup of tea?
Mary Cahill no one cares wot ur negative ass thinks
to the negative responders to marys comment: I dare you to like every piece of art you see! everyone has a right to their opinion...try to understand that it's ok to be different. why can't we all get along even though we have different opinions?
More pretentious Modern Art garbage
A sweet humble man, raised dirt poor in the most racist part of America - does he strike you as a very pretentious person?
And still your craft is burger making at McDonald's. Or wait here's an artful idea. While you have all that time Make McDonalds art out of all the nasty ingredients ketchup and mustard. Pretentious right. Oh while looked in that corporation's hell. You are a fckng moron. You have to be a human to understand the principles of an artist. you're just not one of them.

Total nonsense
