I'll be chatting to writer, artist and podcaster John Dalton @johndaltonart Tuesday next week. Send him your questions or comment here. No topics are off limits but I'd say keep it about the art :) #podcast #art #contemporaryart #conversation #fineart #painter #arttalk #artforum www johndalton.me

“You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;/”They called me the hyacinth girl.”/- Yet when we came back, late, from the hyacinth garden,/Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not/Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither/Living nor dead, and I knew nothing,/Looking into the heart of light, the silence.” (T.S. Eliot, The Waste Land, 1922) . All Souls today, and in our country the dead are commemorated – which means lots of chrysanthemums are put on the graves of the beloved. I lost my sweet mom and dad years ago, way too early. As if this wasn’t enough, and although its flowers happen to be hyacinths, not chrysanthemums, even The Waste Land is leading me to the graves today, not in the least because its first part is called The Burial of the Dead. If you ask me, this is one of the most marvelous poems ever written, and it surely was the most revolutionary of its time. . The above quote always has occupied a special corner in my heart. Not that i’m fully able to explain: it’s delicate, subtle, multilayered – like all things precious and rare. It just happens to have that specific meaning to me. . What I know for sure though is that the men and women in Malcolm T. Liepke’s paintings are often striking that same kind of chord too: the inability to get beneath the surface, notwithstanding all good intentions. We’re reaching out for each other, but everytime again we seem to fail. Then we’re ‘looking into the heart of light, the silence’. . Today lots of people stand and look at the grave, eager to pronounce words left unspoken when days were long and time abundant: . “I-love-you.” . But alas: the stones won’t answer.

What to paint part 2: “There’s another issue: not only knowing what to say, but how to say it. I’ll give you an example that I was just discussing with a painter friend of mine who wants to relay a series of things. I said to him, ‘You’re painting a painting of a girl under a quilt in an empty room with some fairly cold colors…but the painting is over 5 feet by 5 feet. So let’s see, it’s trying to convey something sad, but out loud—it’s shouting it out.’ It’s not an image of something extreme, it’s simply sad. So that’s not being well communicated. Imagine someone is telling you something sad but yelling it at you. When people are sad, their voice breaks. They speak in a soft voice. And probably pretty privately. So that is synonymous to a much smaller panting, a type of painting that’s a little looser or sketchier. That comes off as much sadder. You can’t try to communicate something intimate in a 6 by 6 foot painting…it’s absurd. If you take a painting of Vermeer’s and you enlarge it to 6 x 6 feet, it makes no sense. You have to learn how to pinpoint the way you say things. I make very small pieces because I imagine how I would tell somebody something, as if I were whispering it into their ear: very softly. And very privately, away from other people… that can’t be big. Another thing I see all the time is there are a lot of people talking about things that is not their place to talk about. I’m sorry but if someone wants to talk about death--a real, physical death--and if they’ve never seen a green & purplish cadaver in front of them, they can’t, because they haven’t ever seen it. You have to see it. That’s a concrete thing. There can’t be so many people talking about such a harsh life & such a bad life filled with illness when they haven’t lived it. You have to live it.” (What do you think?

How about you slow down and look at something that shows how it’s made? Sounds like a crazy activity in today’s world but so deeply human. . . . . . #howardsherman #howard_sherman #look #looking #contemporaryart #modernart #fineart #contemplation #art #artist #slowdown #viewing #arttalk #artwork

I recently got to chat with @itserinwilliams on her podcast “In Which I Talk to Artists”. To hear about my background, work, and process take a listen. You can find the episode on iTunes, search for “In Which I Talk to Artists”. Thanks for having me Erin!

This summarizes some of my ideals that I think should be ideals of others “The next evolutionary step for humankind is to move from human to kind.” Unknown #ideasrex #thoughts maybe this is exactly what humanity needs, an unknown so that together feels more homogeneous

“Crimson Kimono” 36x24 oil on panel ~ this is the painting I was referencing in the prior post regarding the YouTube discussion with Stan @stanprokopenko on color and color theory. One of my favorites. #color #colour #yellow #purple #red #green #kimono #love #harmony #female #beautiful #flow #discussion #arttalk #conversation #stan #colourtheory #cmyk #ryb

The Fam came with me to drop off my peices and see the show at @hornefineart - For me one of the most satisfying parts about being an artist is being able to see my paintings hung together in a great space out of the studio. It helps give me perspective to see that my labor has produced some fruit and to stay on course when you have frustrating/unproductive days in the studio. @lieslcannon_art #artshow #artgallery #arttalk #framedwork #fineart #saltlakecity #utahartist #oilpainting #slcart #postimpressionism #gallery #artist
