Cecily Brown is new to me, she makes work in tune with my thinking, I love the idea of risk of loss in something that comes early. Such a truth to be recognized by all who make work. Brava Cecily!
True... but sometimes it is nice.. Feels like a conversation. But in this case... too much him . But I think he is just not listening: he is just waiting to speak.
In the description, it notes that this is a "conversation". It's not a standard interview format in which there are only direct questions and answers. Both are sharing their thoughts about Rubens, artistic influence, and other topics. I enjoyed this format as they were able to feed off of each other's insights and go into a depth that might not have occurred otherwise.
I do see how it comes off as that, but this format was so much more entertaining when choosing to listen to a drab art-history laden "conversation". He's funny and has such great input and controversial things to say. I enjoyed it!
It’s very confusing to see a Rubens and then see her paintings. And you think how does the two connect. An abstract version of a Ruben? I ask myself is this working?
Cecily is a tremendously gifted painter. As a colorist, she paints boldly, surely. The colors stand strong without the slurry blending so often attributed to alla prima, bravura style work. Modestly, she studies other's work for characrers, poses, as she says. Yet she creates , fashions a new context for her composition. This fellow was poorly prepared to speak with Brown. The endless, can't -give- it -up, prattling on about his distaste for Rubens was irritating & irrelevant. Yet CB fielded the sleights, deftly, admitting an appreciation against the 'conventional wisdom' [perhaps the most boffo nonsequiter] offering that the dislike of the fleshy girls of Rubens work as against the slavish adoration for all things, 'thin' is not her problem. Cecily Brown handles the situation of this 'winging it' interviewer with an overabundance of patience. She is a great painter. My guess is that this harried, Rubens-hating museum employee had the seniority to pull rank and score the interview. Pity, that.
Gentleman pushing to much his mind to understand the art works. You start this route with using the mind and you get out of mind at the end, you just feel it. Secret is using an optimum amounts of your mind , that's why seeing and looking are different things. But of course if your survival depends on talking about art , you have to convince to whole world that it's an complicated thing.
sounds pretty fair but do you also not think when you see conceptual art, or just try to neglect it saying its all bullshit when the method you just said doesn't really seem to apply?
It is not what we think it is not what we know it is what we believe and we need to work on that because it is bringing out world out of balance and reality is screwing the fantasy world some people live in.
How can this Museum interviewer be so assertively dominant in this interview. People listen to hear Cicely Brown, not this yammering mule who keeps interrupting the artist. For shame Jasper Sharp.
Sheldon Adelson "is a very nice man"? He was an utterly dire individual. Interviewer lacks all credibility for a number of reasons but especially for this.

I love her paintings.
wonderfully explanatory especially in referencing the history of painting. a beautiful document.
Mr. Sharp is more interested in what he has to say than interviewing the artist.

sodacorn92 felt the same .. rude
He was completely obnoxious through the entire 'interview' - maybe he should learn to do something people are actually interested in.

Cecily Brown is a wonderful artist and a very polite lady!

I don't like how the interviewer promotes himself way too much.
Wow that’s good conversation
Hey Jasper, you don't 't even have a Wikipedia page!
The bottom third made this even more useful
Why does he so rudely interupt her? Jarring.
Who was the old Masters Old Masters and who were their Old Masters.
Gavin Yates rennaicance, to them: ancient Greeks and Roman’s, to them even older Egyptians I think

I bought a mug with your painting on it, Cecily,
(from the Des Moines Art Center) instead of a post card, haha!!
why are these interviewers always so nervous?
Gagosian, not Coco Sian
wow !!!!
A long look at the work would be good,while Jasper goes on telling us all about it.

Emre28 Oz I agree , learning to feel is what’s important , we have thinking sickness in the world today.

the prob is he's got the facts without the understanding. Also his joke about her naked...r u kiding me. He's a fool & has his head up his ass.

the interviewer was being sarcastic when he said that
The interviewer was being sarcastic at that point.
