What a beautiful video with a message that is so necessary in a world seemingly fixated on youth being the height of beauty and success. This is how I want to feel when I'm older. Thank you for this truly lovely insight.
Lovely video. I appreciate your perspective very much. I am also an artist working with issues about women's body image. Two of my favorite pieces are of a 90-year-old dancer who still teaches dance!
What an absolutely wonderful video -- one that needs to be seen by so many in this youth-related culture of ours. Just like Alice and Richard, I see myself constantly rediscovering myself. Even now at 58, I feel that in many ways my life has hardly begun. There is still so much yet to be discovered, explored and experienced. When one gets to the point at which that is no longer the case, then it is all over.
I have always seen the beauty of the elderly. I have a deep affinity with the aged and now that I am in my late 30s, I am aware that one day, hopefully, I too will be elderly - but I'll try to be healthy for sure! Thanks!
This is such a beauty filled video. THANK YOU so much! To look at this aging process with such acceptance and new eyes is wonderful. You are both to be congratulated on this terrific series.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting! I'm the only one I know personally who has this viewpoint of aging. Everyone else I've ever known has a negative view of it, buys into the "anti-aging" illusion, and feels badly whenever they see a new line or gray hair. When I see a new gray hair or new line, I actually get tickled pink, lol. THANK YOU for posting, because it's wonderful to find people, even on a YouTube video - who share my p.o.v.
I'm a mortician by profession and have always tried to tell people to love every minute in life regardless of the negative because you will never have that minute again, so just smile.
Powerful presentation. Indeed, beauty comes in all shapes, forms, colors, and ages...despite what pop cultures would have one to think. Whe should celebrate the beauty of life in all of it's forms. Thanks for sharing :) Tonya C.
How Divinely inspired! It is good to get old...to be old. I know. The alternative does not breathe...the inanimate art does. Your words have power and wisdom and your eyes are mirrors... A wonderful work. Thank You.
wonderfully articulated - beautifully fillmed, and the topic is very timely for us baby boomers, as well as for our aging parents - the perspcetive it gives us it such a gift - the sculptures and paintings are so right on -- thank you
I'm getting so many wonderful comments from the people I've sent this link to. You've done a wonderful and beautiful thing in putting your work and your thoughts about aging out there. I'm honored to be your friend. xoxoxoxo Madeline
Congratulations my lovely friends. Your book and video are incredible and will be a life lesson for those fearing the aging process. Thank you for making growing older a wonderful pleasure and something to look forward to.
It's such an honor to know you both. Your art, your love for each other and for your community is a gift and an inspiration. The video is beautiful. Can't wait to see the book. Love the cover!
Amazing, joyful, creative ...just like Alice and Richard! Thank you for availing your wisdom and understanding to so many of us through your wonderful vision and talent.
Feeling very grateful that the beauty and talent of Alice and Richard really shines through in this video. I need to hear and see/read their aging wisdom and deeply apply it in my heart and daily thinking and feeling. Thank-you, Richard and Alice. I will tell everyone I know about this video interview and book!!
What a beautiful short film about the very beautiful book newly created by the most romantic couple I know. Richard and Alice live in love . . . for life, for their work, and for each other. The Art of Aging so well represents the Matzkins' courage in embracing the aging process that is the culmination--and can be the triumph--of human life.
Just watched this with my husband. We are 63 & 64. We held hands and teared up with gratitude for the most significant pointer back to what is important in this very living alive moment. Thank you dear Richard and Alice. Thanks you.
A beautiful gift to share with my parents, elderly friends and enjoy myself first before I pass the book on! Thank you for sharing your insights & wisdoms that most assuredly, will be of benefit to so many!
Aging happens to each of us every day. At first it seems like something that only happens to "old" people and then slowly momentum picks up and the signs of aging appear more and more frequently first in subtle and then in not so subtle ways. We live in a culture that glorifies youth and staying young which can make getting older a lot harder than embracing it as Richard and Alice have done. We can all learn a lot from the authenticity that is so apparent in this wonderful interview.
I appreciate your view on aging and the beauty found in the aging process. You show character we often loose. Thank you.
