- Art2Life.com - In this special throwback episode of Art2Life, we revisit one of our most beloved conversations with award-winning art critic Jerry Saltz.
Making art is hard enough, but hearing from others whether it is good or not is especially so. Every artist I know already has, hard-wired within them, a pretty tough critic. I certainly do. So I never have been particularly drawn to listening to more of them. I know, of course, art criticism is essential in the art world. I get all that, but truthfully, I have always been a little leery of outside criticism in case it made me stop making art. It feels safer to hear more from those who are actually making art. They were the ones I thought whose voices mattered. At least for me.
But today you are going to meet an art critic. But not the kind I imagined. Not at all. His name is Jerry Saltz. He is the Pulitzer Prize-winning, senior art critic and columnist for New York Magazine. He has a bajillion followers on Instagram and is a New York Times bestselling author. He also cares a ton about art and especially artists. Which isn’t surprising because he was one. He switched mid-career because, ironically, his inner critic wouldn’t leave him alone, and it all became too much.
Jerry is whip-smart, funny, and at times, daringly truthful. But this is what I love about him: he just tells the truth. Or rather his truth. That is rare these days. Jerry is the artist's art critic. He is so on our side and wants nothing more for us than to simply stay together and above all else, to keep making our art. Join me now for this startlingly vulnerable and caring conversation about art and life with one of the most revered voices in the art world: Jerry Saltz.

We're the creators, all of us. We, each of us, has the ability and freedom to create. However we want. If someone feels to think, feel, or say something about it, it comes from their perspective, their expertise, their background, agenda, karma, and motive. We can not let that stop us. Art is changing from being a luxury for a few elite people, to being a way of creating joy for ourselves. Same with singing. It used to be for others, and we were being judged. But our voice is inside OUR bodies. So clearly it is for us. It's actually a healing instrument. Use it. Same with our ability to create, whether we call it art or whatever. Thank you Nick for teaching what and how you do.
OMG, there were so many profound statements and ideas spoken by Jerry. There are so many quotes I want to write down and go back to over and over.......... You are right, Nick, this is a PHENOMENAL podcast!!!!!!!
Excellent! I'd never heard of Jerry Saltz until now... he's wonderful, funny, smart, humble, and real. I found some of his early art work and love it, and will be looking for his writings as well. Thank you!
Amazing wonderful thank you Nick you are a gift to us and you are a missionary of artists❤❤❤
Very creative both of you. I wonder what his birthday is? He sounds like an Aquarius! You must go through a lot of hell in life to pull your creativity side out. I love making art, I grow succulents, train dogs, raise four boys and at 55 years old found out I loved crayons 🤣 …… I love paint, pins, markers,tape, paper, oil,water, ink. Oh my gosh I love it. I’m a product hoarder. I want to try it all. I’m 60 years old now I haven’t made enough art to even speak to you two. But I can care less what someone thinks of my art this week. I absolutely love making art, I’m learning what it takes to make me happy in my crayons. I don’t have 24-7 to play but my life revolves around the hours I get to go into my studio, quiet in my space and make my art. I didn’t know I could go a week without sleep. I can! Just to make art. I don’t go out because I want to make art, I don’t want to sell my art I want to make my art. I want to stack it up! I also don’t follow rules, it’s my art I have no rules. I love this guy, I’ll buy his book today. I love you both. I didn’t need permission of course to make MY art but this keeps me excited to follow my ideas, I was going to anyways, but I’m not a big baby. I can play in my crayons if I want to. So I’m a little strange, god made me his way! He has never made a mistake, I’m what he wanted. I’ll give what I have. And I’ll make my art! Love you both. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️🙏
February 2020 was my first gallery show and the world shut down in March. I continued painting throughout Covid. I just finished Nicks free week and joined the Studio. I’m excited to learn from everyone.
I listened to this the first time around, and was happy for the reminder to listen again. So many wonderful nuggets to enjoy and be encouraged by. I especially appreciate the push to hang tight and claim my spot in the great community of artists. I have a renewed gratitude right now for being part of it!
What a gift you gave us, both, Nick and Jerry, thank you so much for this open, truthful and encouraging converstation .
Can’t wait to watch this! Right now though I’m on the way to give a tour at The New York Botanical Garden! 😊☀️A work of art of its own!🌸
I propagate succulents. My husband begs me to stop. I’ve filled several 1000 feet of succulents plants. I agree the easiest to propagate. I do give them away at every Holiday and every time someone comes out to visit. It’s kinda a law, if you come out to my house you will take plants home 😂 good luck at the show.
People are correct, this is excellent. Thank you for giving this to us today.
Thanks for re-posting this! I saw the original video and bought his new book straight away, as I had loved the previous one. He is quite a character...and has a lot of great stuff to say!
LOVE this interview.
LOVE THIS IN SO MANY MANY WAYS!!!!!
LOVED this interview, thank you chaps. I also ordered Art is Life and it's due to arrive in a few days, can't wait to read it.
Loved it then and now.. thanks for the replay ✨
Thank you so much for this video! I loved listening to you and Jerry. I enjoy creative quirky people with points of view that make me think. I will definitely order Jerry Saltz’s book.
Funny and very sad. Watching his ego swing from arrogance to self deprecation in one sentence is wild. His heart still needs healing for sure. Wish he would let go and work with you Nick!
Love Jerry Saltz' point of view! Been following him for years. Now, Get to work!
I fell asleep and yt gloriously served this up on my headphones-perfect pep talk for my subconscious 🤪
Sooo glad I listened to this and will look into Jerry's books.
FINISH THE DAMN THING. I need to write this in my studio. I’m so good at procrastination and not finishing ‘projects’…
Buying his book now! Fabulous episode!👍👍👍👍
Ive listened to the audiobook 4-5 times!.. im sure youll love it:)
Love this sent to friends
Fabulous …. So many truths.
Thank you Jerry for giving to us head on😅
I look for these videos daily
If you build it they will come. Amen! Get out of your head and onto your paper. Screw what your head tells you. Do what your hand and heart and let your eyes guide you. Do you think it’s pretty, ITS Pretty!
Thanks thanks thanks!!
🦋🎨 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jerry Saltz ‘liked’ one of my paintings I posted on Instagram and it was thrilling! Have no idea how he found me - must’ve been “doom scolling”!☺️
So cool!
Did anyone notice the video was cut out between 31:53 and 31:56 when Jerry tried to refer to the contested election of 2016. 2016 was cut out and left blank. Who did this? TH-cam, Art 2 Life? Concerning.
Otherwise I am loving the interview.
There is no video cut at that timestamp. Jerry said and meant 2000, not 2016. Hope this helps!
❤❤❤
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
