FLYP Media takes you inside of Brice Marden's studio to discuss his views on painting. See the full story on Brice Marden at http://www.flypmedia.com/issues/28/#5/1
@GAGANHEIM There is no "best" in the arts. Any of the arts. There is only personal preference. My perspective is that "abstract expressionism" is an oxymoron; it does not actually express anything. Any no-talent fraud can do it, as evidenced by the sheer amount of it. Then again, it is only my perspective. Your own mileage may vary.
@willybuitenwerf Of course there is something common. The fact that you can live in any country, and be a member of any race or group of people, anywhere in the world and still be a no-talent fraud.
@JeffersonDinedAlone a con man ...total bullshit all the way....what a waste of time and canvas.....i would never trust my kids to a guy who paints like that.....fucking demented
@claureic Of course he's going to tell someone (with defensive pompousity, of course) that they don't understand, and that it's complicated. What would you expect him to say? Tell the truth, which is that it's not complicated, there is nothing particular to understand, and that any damn fool can be a fraud and do it? Of course not. He is not going to undermine the delusion which others hold which is what gives him an income source. These people are frauds, but they are not terribly stupid.
@cosg9531 would you prefer he just sit there and stare at the camera? It's an interview about his work ... so of course, he is talking about it his work.
@willybuitenwerf I think GAGANHEIM was referring to Abstract Expressionism, an American Postwar movement, and not abstract art in general or America's geo-political standing.
There are other free countries than the US :-). Is the US really free? There was abstract art in Europe before it was in the US which are inspired to do so. And moslims make abstract art. Is there something common?

@rainboy9 do you understand that this is an interview with a painter? Hearing him talk about painting is the point of the video.
