Interesting talk and discussion given on Book TV on CSpan by Lynne Munson about her 2000 book Exhibitionism: Art in an Era of Intolerance The late art critic, Hilton Kramer, also contributes to the talk and discussion.
This video addresses important issues for painters that are as relevant today as it was back in 2000 when this panel discussed such topics as; the unfair and biased awarding of NEA art grants, the loss of teaching aesthetic standards and traditional artistic knowledge in many of today’s art schools and the ridgid hold the postmodernist academy has on our art institutions.
Painting Perceptions was started in 2009 by Larry Groff to promote the ideas, practice and experience of painters working from observation in a modernist vein from around the world through interviews, essays, videos and community. It later evolved to include imagination-based and abstract painting as well.
Brilliant discussion, and yes as relevant today as it was in 2000.
