- “Before you try to become an artist I want you to go out to the world and learn about it.” In this video, the highly acclaimed Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto advises aspiring artists to expose themselves to many different jobs and experiences before venturing into art, which he feels requires “a profound experience in life.”
If you, after you’ve experienced many kinds of jobs, still desire to become an artist, then you should go for it. Sugimoto emphasizes that you don’t have to be an artist when you are in your teens or twenties, but can just as well start at the age of 70 or even 80: “It’s better for one to go on a journey, which can improve oneself, before trying to become an artist.” Referring to French artist Marcel Duchamp’s idea that all the greatest artist are bad people, Sugimoto also finds that people who become successful in the art world are often strange: “Because artists see the world in a way that a normal person wouldn’t. So if you think you are a good person, then you are not the artist type.”
Hiroshi Sugimoto (b. 1948) is a Japanese artist and photographer. Sugimoto is the recipient of several prestigious awards including the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography (2001), the Praemium Imperiale Award for Painting (2009) and The Royal Photographic Society, Centenary Medal (2017). In 2006, he was the subject of a mid-career retrospective organized by the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington D.C. and the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo. Sugimoto has had solo exhibitions at prominent venues such as the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Osaka, Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. His works are presently held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. and the Center for Contemporary Art in Kitakyushu in Japan. Sugimoto lives and works between New York City and Tokyo. For more see: www.sugimotohi...

I wouldn't expect his words may sound as a common place about artists, but the way he says it sounds honest, not as a common place, but something like a true from a person with proven experience in the field. Very intersting.
comforting thought that you can still become an artist when you're old; i can keep procrastinating
If your crush reject you bcz you're too kind, dont become an artist
Very Interesting
What a great video, WISE WORDS!!👏 THANK YOU Hiroshi Sugimoto for your insight and THANK YOU Louisiana Channel for sharing.
Wow. Very nice
You are not Japanese, but an alien. Like Leonardo da Vinci,
but you are different in many ways, you acheive you will definitely create interesting things What you create is bit twisted.but beautifully If Nikola Tesla were alive today, you two might have discuss many things together. Your brain may haunted, but every part of it seems well organized. I hope you continue to achieve great things. Bravo
I think something may have been lost in translation here. I'm assuming when he says "good" and "bad" he might mean more like "viable" and "inviable".
Very nice video.
Replace GOOD with NORMAL. Makes no sense to say all good artists are bad people.
I think it’s just a mistranslation or misunderstanding of the Japanese original. I could see how in Japan, a collectivist society, the words for “good” and “normal” could be the same or similar.
I really like his first point. If you want to be an artist "as such" and go to school as a young adult to "study" art, then I don't believe you'll really have anything interesting to say. I don't trust your sense of aesthetics, your knowledge of the human heart. There's a lot of danger in commodifying and professionalizing the role "artist".
My new idol...Adopt me Daddy!
旅に出ているあいだ、草間彌生さんの目つきでずっと睨まれていました。
Artists I respect (I've been in the industry for over 25 years) are all nice.
However, I sometimes meet assholes (really famous ones). All them are focused too much on money.
Business + Art = Bad people.
