Art doesn't need words to describe it,it's made without words.
I admire his works
When I look at the paintings of Howard Hodgkin, something inside me melts. It’s feels almost like yielding to the most passionate of kisses when separation at last feels like the illusion it is. I have no explanation to provide for this; I’m simply grateful.
Bravo Gagosian, a silent video leaving the beloved paintings to speak for themselves, THANKS SO MUCH
this is art in highest and simplest way - like zen
I kinda wish someone would've asked him more about the technical process. He was cagey about what it "meant," but I think he woulda been more open about how he actually applied paint, etc.
Remarkable how much he made from so little.
Masterful!
Hodgkin is a great painter but his late work somewhat trivializes his earlier work. For example, the large oblique textured brush stroke that obliterates a frame, or a window, was spectacular and moving in the versions of the early 2000s, but then, by sheer repetition perhaps, or some subtler flaw, become a little formulaic.
I am an artist myself, but something eludes me about Hodgkin. I see nothing, I feel nothing. Sometimes, those who make such arguments that they could do this or a child could do this are correct, you'll get no argument from me there. I like expressionism and pure abstraction, depending . I like virtually the entire breadth of art in most all of its forms from Bruegel to Pollack, but this escapes me as to why it is supposed to be good art. However if you like it that's fine with me, but I wish I knew why.
This is art? If so, I can do 50 of these a day..help me understand someone Explain to me why this is glorified..
If you think you also can do it, well do it.
If you get it, you get it. If you don’t then the paintings aren’t for you. Simple as that. I can absolutely see why you can see nothing in them - I could say the same of probably 95% of what people call ‘abstract’ art. But these touch me very deeply. Sorry, I can’t explain why - obviously something to do with colour, form and the way it’s all put together and the way my individual brain works!
Another perfect example of a person who can't get past their finger painting art in kindergarten.
