This lecture considers painting as a medium that is both historically specific and burdened by tradition. Graw will begin with an assessment of painting today, proposing that the art form is correlated with what our contemporary economy most desires. In order to better understand the medium now, Graw will look back at theories of painting since the 14th century and argue that, despite the years separating us from these reflections, such historical arguments around painting are still relevant. Only now, what was once considered to be painting´s strength — its ability to produce a sense of liveliness or subjectivity — takes on a different meaning in an economy that considers exactly those qualities to be its resources.
Isabelle Graw is Professor for Art Theory and Art History at Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste (Städelschule), Frankfurt am Main, where she co-founded the Institute of Art Criticism. She is an art critic and co-founder of Texte zur Kunst in Berlin.

Really interesting point 47:13
What in the fu&k is she on about? Not only is her subject matter obscure and, in my opinion, falsely erudite, it's just plain boring. Painting is. The artist is. Doesn't matter if Marx or Trump, or some god say differently, or anything at all. If it sells it sells. If people buy it they buy it. If someone or some entity commissions it or not has nothing to do with it's value to society. Altamira proves my point.

Okay, A SIGN! I saw the sign. (ace of base).
soo late on this, but amazing talk !
This argument boils down to: she thinks painterly marks create an illusion of life, while others say painterly marks contain life (animism).
Does anyone know how to spell the name of the first art critic she talks about in regards to the subjectivity of the brush stroke??
Hi, could anyone please post the name of the Sigmar Polke painting pictured (black with colourful vertical stripes)? Thanks!
Such an arduous way of putting words to what gives painting life and currency.
Have a great day!
