Much better picks than the usual pieces of hers that get chosen
I love this human's perspective and work.
Thanks a lot for the video. It really helps me to appreciate my own Art:)
Born into a wealthy, highly influential, upper east side jewish family….and friend of Greenburg,a very high profile art critic. Gee,I wonder how she made it? Also,married Motherwell
what a bunch of crap…'emperor's clothes' and all…this makes me ashamed for art…
None of this work spoke to me or raised any emotion other than boredom, maybe you have to go see them HUGE?
The extreme explanatory philosophical usage of words of a painting
With embleshing it's original offset as if it were a impossible achievement
That was achieved . It's nothing a child can't simply do.
All this for a wall ornament..nonsensical ridiculousness is what the practice
Is…
I love her work…inspiring and make the spirit soar.
i like this vidoe
it is sooooooo cool
Admittedly her artwork doesn’t offer much to the soul, but she certainly has mastered the language of describing her work. She is intelligent, but from the artworks shown, vacuous. Her contemporaries at least seemed to really struggle in creating a new language, and offered much to pushing boundaries in abstract expressionism.
Her paintings make me think of a laughing baby with explosive diarrhea.
Really interesting, love her, fantastic painter
