to john scane: i listened to your podcast episode 17 and i wondered how all of you would react to the work of david park (died in 1959) and the recent work of allison smith (at acme gallery this year).these two use the tools of painting like a language that comes from inside them, could that be what makes their work so unique? Does it really take a lifetime of experience to make a memorable painting or just more \'depth of feeling\'?,(which is not a highly prized condition in the art world right now). creativity seems to require a thoughtful human being, no matter what era he/she is living through. thanks for your discussion, i will keep listening. p.s. does anybody know the work of thomas nozkowski? (modernpainters april \'08 p.3).
Penny,
Thanks for listening. Yes I do know David Parks work, he has been one of my favorites since I started looking at art. I can probably speak for everyone when I say he is a great painter and one of our favorites. I\'m not familiar with Allison Smiths work. I think what\'s more important than experience is honesty with your chosen language. I think If you are thoughtful and honest about what you\'re trying to say people will respond to it. The subject could be as mundane as a still life such as the case with Morandi but those are great paintings. I think this is because his approach toward his subject was an honest one. He isn\'t trying to be clever he\' just trying to make good paintings about the subject and he\'s using his own voice to do it. I looked up Thomas Nozkowski, his work looks interesting, I\'d like to see it in person. Thanks again for listening and taking the time to comment. If you get a chance listen to the past episodes, I think you\'ll like them.
