About this deal

In 2011 there was a wonderful spring, and I had planned to record it,” he explains. “We got marvellous snow, the spring was early and we were ready for everything. I had begun drawing the changing scene on the iPad in the New Year, then, when I’d printed out five or six iPad drawings on a big scale, I began to realise, my God, you could do the whole room with this method. Livingstone, Marco; Drabble, Margaret; Barringer, Tim; Salomon, Xavier; Comer, Stuart; Gayford, Martin Do you accept link requests or guest post articles? Unfortunately no, the MoMa to-do list already overfloweth. And he cannot stop, cannot keep still. There is not just Yorkshire to get down, but the seasons as well. A wall of sweet midsummers followed by a wall of yellow harvests followed by felled logs in autumn and bare glades in winter. A nice spot of painting in the sun (it never rains) and then home to tea; it sometimes feels as complacent as it looks.

The cover art of the Mr. Oizo album Stade 2, by the artist So Me, is a deconstructed reinterpretation of Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures). [21] David insisted I filmed single-handedly, so there’s an intimacy and clumsiness to these recordings, something I echo in my commentaries to the films. My filming between 2004 and 2009 – in Yorkshire, Los Angeles, London and Germany – led to A Bigger Picture, one of the few documentaries that captures a master at work (now available to stream here for the first time). The exhibition was one of the most popular in Spain in the summer of 2012. It listed first in El Mundo’s list of 12 exhibitions to see that season. [2] On 29 December 2012 when El País released their annual top ten exhibitions of the year, [3] an important index in the Spanish art world, they listed it second only to Edward Hopper’s exhibition the same summer at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum. A near fine book without inscriptions in a very good unclipped wrapper with shallow chipping to the head of the spine. Light loss to the corners and a little to the spine tail. Some creasing and a little soiling to the rear panel.I’d love to think I’ve captured something of the universality and mystery of the creative enterprise, let’s say a portrait of an artist as an older man. The film was a journey into the unknown, scary and thrilling. I hope the film still preserves something of this, and of the mud and the flies. The dust has never quite settled, nor did David’s work which continued to evolve and surprise. The questions I ask – does the film continue to be relevant and fresh, or what is its real subject? – are the ones I’m probably the least qualified to judge. paintings made and shown on iPads were displayed showing the transition from winter to summer on Woldgate in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Using the app Brushes the artist replaced the traditional sketchbook with the digital medium. A steady supply of Valium would have been useful. I had done one other evolving film project called “ Portrait’ with my brilliant editor and collaborator Chris Swayne, about the making of an official portrait by Tom Phillips for The National Portrait Gallery of its outgoing Director Charles Saumarez-Smith. But at only 50 hours of footage and essentially describing a series of portrait sittings over 9 months, it was altogether a more easily manageable proposition. For a start a linear narrative was a given. The 120-plus hours of video for ‘A Bigger Picture’ were too much to hold in one’s head, and additionally there were so many different possible stories and approaches to that material. We were drowning in all the films it could be. China: The Three Emperors, 1662-1795, Royal Academy of Arts,12 November 2005-17 April 2006. Paintings, dress, porcelains, lacquers and furnishings that the rulers themselves employed in elaborate performances.

How record-setting art auctions are ruining the old neighborhood" commentary on The Washington Post How they are made – this kind of mark, that variation on Van Gogh, those Fauve-bright colours or stylised cut-outs or vast, multi-panel grids – these are the constant focus, much more than the landscape itself. Every work compares with another and each has its alibi in the whole. It is one enormous study in comparative methods. El Anatsui – interview: ‘My inspiration comes from things people have used – there are so many endless delights’So that is an advance on the past of a sort. And for such a restless innovator, so mindful of art history in everything he makes, this is surely a necessity. To take up a genre beloved of old and modern masters, Sunday painters and about half the entrants to the Royal Academy show every summer is to join a tradition. The question is what to make of it in personal and aesthetic terms, how to renew it.
