Great painter indeed

39 million dollars!! Life is good. Humility with out smugness is a type of character few have. All artist have a genius in them but few in abundance. The abundance of his vision is astounding. The descriptions of his work were insightful. The analogies, metaphors and expressed allusions were perfect.

Yes, my first impression of Peter's work gives, to me at least, a strong resemblance of the work of the Group of Seven from the early 20th century. One of the forerunners of the Group was Tom Thompson who lived and painted on Canoe Lake in the Algonquin Park Ontario.

Does anyone know the name of that last painting at 8:52 ? Really struggling to find it, cheers!

I should really like this video, as I enjoy the artist’s work. But it’s been spoiled by the tracking shots which I, who am partially sighted cannot see. If you want to show art, please remember accessibility, and us show the art. Paining is essentially a static form, let it be so

I use these videos as a jumping off place for artists I like. I'll then do a web search for the artist by name, and click on Images. There you'll find the static images you seek. Another tip is to click on the small icon to the left, with 3 bars with lines thru them. Click HD to view High Definition images so you can zoom in on paintings in greater detail. I'll often save such images and create a gallery of artists I like. Hope that helps.

Dear Jimmy, sorry to hear you have found it difficult to view the art well. We have combined static shots with panning shots. The static shots show the entire picture, the panned shots travel across the canvas and zoom in on certain details. Feel free to pause the video whenever you want to have a closer look. But above all, thank you for your valuable feedback, we have taken note and appreciate your honesty! Thank you for tuning in and have a great day

​@@contemporaryartissue The article you linked to I think has basic good steps to follow, but in the case of Peter Doig, let's face it: he was among the very few anointed by the art world elites to have his work sell for extremely high prices, not every artist can get those same prices Peter Doig is getting. BTW you did a nice presentation about Mr. Doig.

This video completely ignores his early 1980s works and his first London exhibition (which I had the pleasure of attending) back then...his career did not start in the 1990s he was doing great work in the '80s which recently became a major show at the Michael Werner gallery!

Unfortunately you cant photo peter doigs technique. Unless you go to some down syndrome art school for kids.

When did he lose the plot? When he won JM first prize. Lousy figure in that picture yet great paint surfaces and colors and very interesting pictorial compositions in his work, though not much of a draughtsman really. He moved with the 'times'... And whilst his prices went astronomic as a result, the sublime left his vision.

@contemporaryartissue

I don't believe the astronomic prices have affected Doig too much as he clearly distances himself from the "madness of the secondary market" to use the artist's words.

@@contemporaryartissue simply changing the subject doesn’t equate anything revolutionary. It’s nothing more than David Hockney paintings with different images. So let’s get real and stop thinking “anyone” is coming up with something revolutionary new and innovative. Even Basquiat was nothing but a modern graffiti version of Picasso. Today art is nothing but a recycled version of what’s been explored before. It’s all now nothing but a business just as music. It’s all just a promotional business of marketing. Mary Boone proved Art was nothing but a marketing scam. Today it’s just nothing but an ornamentation to an architectural space. Nothing new or revolutionary. Art has reached its bullshit realm. Marcel Duchamp thought he had exposed that “art” concept with his urinal, but it actually didn’t reach that finality until the 60s, dunce then it’s just been a shit show of plays on revisionist things others have done. Art has become a “what can I bullshit” you into believing of its innovative brilliant artsiness. Here let me spray some graffiti and call it great art for a million dollars because it’s never been done before. Yes so revolutionary and innovative. I suggest you actually invest some time in art history (post war). It’s all been done. Today it’s just a marketing game. Ask Mary Boone

@@jvs333 Why should art be revolutionary to be any good? Modernist thinking implied art had to be innovative to be good, progress for the sake of progress. However, this vision was very disconcerting, leaving us alienated, paving the way for postmodern art. So your reasoning is the result of the obstinate legacy of Modernism. We are six to seven decades later, so this statement is as irrelevant as it is obsolete according to my humble opinion. Further, saying art is nothing more than a promotional business of marketing is a very blunt statement, and an insult to all artists who are dedicating their life to art. Drop the anarchism and cynicism, approach every artist with an open mind and look for the beautiful instead of for searching for a stick to wield.
