I never would have thought I would have a painting hanging in the same room as a Cézanne: Watch FLYPs short documentary on Brice Marden and his thoughts on Cezanne. See the full story on Brice Marden at http://www.flypmedia.com/issues/28/#5/1

  • Brice Marden is a feeler, let him love Cezanne!

  • This and the other Marden videos on YouTube feel like clips from a Christopher Guest mockumentary, especially when they cut from his opaque, tortured ramblings to his "shrug, whatever" paintings.

  • I love Cezanne but this idea of reaching the end of painting is ridiculous. It is a fallacy that subscribes to the idea that painting is progressing towards an imaginary goal. It is linear and Western and muddleheaded.

  • @quintincollins yeah he likes doing that and i know its intentional...but it makes me really anxious...which i guess is good.

  • It's weird how angry people get at a harmless painting. People: Brice Marden doesn't owe you anything ... why so resentful?

  • @chandru1103 do you mean the lines don't end at the edge? --- they loop back in?

  • My least favorite thing about Marden is that the lines never leave the picture plane. It makes me uncomfortable, but maybe thats his point.

  • he rambles on and on in that shifty-way like several teachers in the "humanities" ive had. art teachers--especially when he says the word "painting." it is like an idea for him, and a pure idea. why do i cry so much when i think i dont like the things i associate with him. i want to, i do do want to be swept away by the nostalgia of that era, the modernism.! ah art school, i miss the....yet i with great problems, "categorically withdrew!" from a modern art school. it may have been my greatest...

  • um...get me away....im scared.

    well, any art- comments aside: (like dumb ones about the abstract art's nature, value) i feel like ive met brice mardens in my life, or people who resemble him very much. i for some reason picture, although its not upheld in this video, a room filled with 70sesqu neoprimitive ceramics and filled with paint brushes, and books on modern art, and yes, all that and i also for some reason recall many trips to modern art museums from the 90s.
