Larry i'm still Learning

God these tidbits are tasty.

Listening to him makes me really want to get on that damned train and go to the Met. Maybe tomorrow.

These clips are marvelous. Larry Poons is one of America's unsung greats. Bravo.

True painter's painter.

I love how he has evolved into his art today. And knowing Frank Stella encouraged him on to create what he is doing is my best guess wonderful.

What a brilliant, natural conversationalist! I love his work aside from the thrown paintings, which feel too simplistically achieved. The rest of his work, though, is brilliant, so maybe I'll warm up to them eventually as well.

Being an art buyer these days is comprehensively and indisputably vulgar. It is the sport of the Eurotrashy, Hedge-fundy, Hamptonites; of trendy oligarchs and oiligarchs; and of art dealers with masturbatory levels of self-regard. They were found nestling together in their super yachts in Venice for this year's spectacular art biennale. Venice is now firmly on the calendar of this new art world, alongside St Barts at Christmas and St Tropez in August, in a giddy round of glamour-filled socialising, from one swanky party to another. Artistic credentials are au courant in the important business of being seen as cultured, elegant and, of course, stupendously rich. Advertisement Do any of these people actually enjoy looking at art? Or do they simply enjoy having easily recognised, big-brand name pictures, bought ostentatiously in auction rooms at eye-catching prices, to decorate their several homes, floating and otherwise, in an instant demonstration of drop-dead coolth and wealth. Their pleasure is to be found in having their lovely friends measuring the weight of their baubles, and being awestruck. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/dec/02/saatchi-hideousness-art-world

He is a man who speaks his mine. Honesty is usually the best the policy, but some times can be painful.

The terms throwing and pouring sounds filthy when talking about fine art on canvas. What good is an artist if they can't re-create his/her own painting. In a parallel world Pollock & Poons' works will never be considered an art but Picasso & Da Vinci's works will always be valued just the same anywhere.

Poons has fantastic, freeing paintings.

Would you happen to have the full unedited version of this interview? I would love to see it!

um em, yeah, mm um, yeah, um em, yea. Woman, ask the question and then shut up and let him answer.

Who knew what a fine subject Mr Poons would be? His generous comments towards Ms. Frankenthaler's contribution and consistent talent, is a pleasure to hear. Thanks to the video makers for including stills of examples during the conversation. Really makes a fine flow.

Wow! In my mind, Larry Poons is that strapping angry young artist in that Emile de Antonio's documentary "Painters Painting". Frank Stella too.

larry poons famous for the quote to do the harder things. i would assume that mean drugs and alcohol.

outstanding art history gliph. thank you.

ASK HIM ABOUT HIS CONTROVERSIAL SISTER IN LAW.. THE ONE WHO WORKED FOR COLIN DELAND.. WHO WAS ROBBED OF LIFE BY PARENTS.. GIVEN BACK A SECOND MIRACLE , WAS HALF HER AGE HAD NO DRUG OR OTHER ISSUES AFTER 15 YEARS OF TORTURE. THEN CANNIBALIZED BY SOME ART AND REGGAE HEATHENS WHO VOWED TO REMOVE HER LIFE. NOT BEFORE SHE ASKED THESE PEOPLE FOR HER LIFE WHEN SHE KNEW SHE WAS IN DANGER... TO BAD CLEMENT DID NOT TELL HIM TO RESPECT THE YOUTH. NOT USE FOR SEX DRUGS AND TO LOOK AT THEIR ART.

beforre tht could go down i emailed this wman yvonne sewall who i saw had a websight on helping at risk kids. LOL funny because as a kid was not a drug user in their company adn all of their kids were. despite my abuse i remained a clean rol model and came up one. but when my lif was at risk to be killed by a canabalisitic rasta looking for asoul to steal to make it to his dreams. i vigilantly began to email this woman. in real life she could have become fearful for my safety but in their .

eys and sold my soul to the family who rejected him and he rejected and cocaine and alchol. i was left to suffer at hands of cannabalistic scavenges who pre me in street and rod and totured me ala hostel , snuff. while my cries were shut out by persons who told me to open my mouth vigilantly if i was in danger.that was a sin. i escaped my fate, rose up and began to become the artist he could or they could not be. Clement greenberg had said i had charachter. he died before i got to prove it.

haha lovable! these are a great series thx for posting.

These were wonderful. This is the first time I've been exposed to Larry Poons commenting on his art. One painting of his--called Cutting Water--was in my college art history textbook in the late 1970s, and although it was photographed in black and white, the impression it made has never left me.
