I don’t say I don’t like it, but I know so many artist that have fantastic work, with so much talent! These artist are nothing compared to them! It’s the galleries and the crazy tastes of art critics whom are to blame for the poor quality of what musea offer us. Crazy!

I must say I strongly disagree here. Of course, today, they work on such a scale because they are currently in the biggest galleries. But that was not always the case, and they did not always work on such a scale. The scale is the result of where they are today, but not the reason where they are today.

As someone with appreciable background and accomplishments in this field, I simply must say that all of the art featured in this video is hopelessly bad art. And I see zero room that it can get better, or that I can be wrong in this assessment. In fact, I'm surprised that anyone making a video about abstract art cannot at least find a few better exemplars in this field. I realize that there is a dire paucity of real talent to choose from. Worthwhile abstract artists are rarer than hens teeth.

So disappointed by this video. It seems like a reading of a list of the most successful of abstract painters, while completely disregarding why they are that. Other than Gerhard Richter who is light years beyond anyone else represented here. Most of these artists are what they are due to marketing(Damien Hirst in particular) by their gallerists or themselves. this is a bullshit fluff piece and it hurts the progress of art by not letting emerging artists know exactly why these artists came to prominence...connections with influencers.

I sense the typical frustration towards the art world, the mega-galleries, and the 'superstar artists'; however, there is little truth to it. We talk a lot about how to become a successful artist on this channel, but this is, of course, a different topic that we discuss in other videos. And no, marketing and influencers do not help artists to achieve long-term success. In a nutshell, we require good, relevant art, a professional profile, and a good network in an active art scene. Feel free to have a look at our career advice videos for more information.

Thank you for that fantastic run-down of modern abstracts! I’m struck quite forcibly that all of them are works for large spaces, though. Where is modern abstract art for our homes? Another thought is that many are easily copied. Art of all sorts has always been copied since medieval times, of course, but where does the modern art critic stand with copying in modern art now much of it has become so easy?

@contemporaryartissue

Ай бұрын

Today, they provide work for large spaces because they primarily sell to public collections to ensure their legacy. But of course, this is where they ended up after a very long journey of climbing the ladder of success in the art world. There is still a lot of art for our homes, from these artists, and more. But the big shows require the big pieces. Concerning the copying, the Certificate of Authenticity is of course very important for the resale value of the work, but simultanously, I invite you to copy a piece by one of these artists, and you might be surprised how it can be rather difficult to get it right.

I love Kusama. The others don't speak to me. It is interesting to see how the dots in Kusama speak to me, but not the dots in the other artist featured. Abstract art is, to me, very personal, I like it or not, I feel it or not, it provokes me intellectually or not, I want to paint immediately after seeing it or not. I ponder about this a lot, i.e. why some abstraction is really yummy to me and other is totally uninteresting or pointless. What is it in abstraction that hooks our psyche? Why our psyche is hooked on to some forms of abstraction and not other? Beyond colour. Just a request.

I'll give you Richter, but no Kiefer?! Seriously?

Riley- A tad predictable as usual with pop art, for use of color does not transcend this. It's called a color wheel. Grosse - original, impressive, wildly expressive and thoroughly mesmerizing. Mehretu: okay if you like graffiti. Her work in no way "explore themes of geography displacement and social landscapes" nor do they "reflect(s) on the intersection of history and the contemporary global condition." That's a Con(temporary) Art word salad NOT visually evident in her work. Her work is it and miss. Mostly miss, but what does hit, like Stadia II, is incredibly impressive. Damien Hirst still doesn't display anything remotely resembling exceptional artistic talent or ability - even with a brush in his own hand, instead of paying someone else. He's a con artist. Scully - They are stripes and blocks of color, and that's all they are. Masterfully arranged and perfect choices of color, but any other meaning, like most Con(temporary) art, is merely ascribed, not evident. Rondinone -Simplistic and derivative. Zobernig -Tacky, thououghly unoriginal. It does not "interrogate the foundation of painting but also sculpture." That's Con(temporary) art word salad nonsense for hanging cloth on the wall in a grid. Also, copying and theft of others' work is not "engaging in dialogue". It's making unoriginal work. Knoebel -Thoroughly unimpressive in every conceivable way ... and Motherwell and Mondrian both did it better and first. Kusama - Only Damien Hirst is more overrated. More or less a texture creator and no more, the art world seems to think that polka dots are somehow indicative of exceptional talent, when her stuff mostly amounts to that found in the background of a children's book or as failed attempts to surf Matisse's color wave. Her stuff only "explores themes of infinity and self-obliteration," because she says so. Again, and like most Con(temporary) painters, these themes are not evident. Richter - along with Anselm Keifer and David Hockney, he amounts to one of the 3 greatest artists working today.

While abstractism creates it own reality it only reflects the mental state of the artist creating it. In the greater order of human experience in day to day life it is meaningless and without real value despite the intellectual mumbo-jumbo seeking to legitimize it. As another commenter put it "it's just doodling.....".

Therefore if it was s##t , it too could be protected by the term 'abstract'. The artist should be abstracting FROM something, not just splattering away like some self indulgent half wit. I learned to draw people and the human form early in my artistic journey so I feel perfectly enthusiastic and unpretentious in rendering the visual experiences I create in the abstract in recent years. It doesn't always demonstrate my classical aptitude already accomplished but it satisfies me immensely. I get why people do it now.

It's so Boring 🥱

Is this your idea of a joke?

I don’t think your first choice of artist merits the name of Artist ,he used tools such a wooden board to scratch the colour on the canvass ,this is not art at all , using Wood make impression on the Canvass is a Fraudulent art work ,he does not have anything to offer at all .
