Artist, Mandolyn Wilson Rosen, is back with me for another Book Talks episode! In this episode, we are reading Giorgio Vasari's "Lives of the Artists," published 1550/1568 which profiles famous High Renaissance, mostly Florentine artists such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Boticcelli, and a few lesser-knowns. We were so excited about the book that we ran deliciously long and decided to cut it up and make it a two-parter.

In Part 1, we cover Vasari's takes on Giotto, Masaccio, Piero Della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, Fra Filippo Lippi, and Madonna Properzia de Rossi (the only woman in the book, and who was even left out of Mandy's earlier English translation!) Part 2 is coming right up - please keep an eye out.

Shout out to artist and writer, Elisabeth Nicula, who we quoted in the episode, and to the books that helped form Vasari's masterwork: "The Decameron" by Giovanni Boccaccio and "The Life of Brunelleschi." Also, a tip of the cap to the Virgin's Holy Girdle of Prato, shown to the public only 4 times a year: https://irenebrination.typepad.com/irenebrination_notes_on_a/2017/07/girdle-cintola-prato.html (Really, no one can out-weird the Catholics)

The book is available widely, both used and new! We recommend a skim, not a binge.

The new definition of painterly success just might be having Elisabeth Condon describe your painting. It's truly that satisfying. Elisabeth is back on the pod to describe a painting, and it's a fascinating one: "Untitled" 1968-69 from the Edge Painting series by Sam Francis. Come along as Elisabeth takes us not only through the painting itself, but also through Sam Francis' life and influences: namely that of his beloved Japan. The concept of "ma" or the potential of emptiness, Asian ink painting, and Francis' unique anti-New York gentle lyricism all factor in to make this talk a riveting deep dive into this Californian-born, second-generation Abstract Expressionist artist.

Ready your note-taking typing fingers because this week's guest is none other than Paddy Johnson of VVrkshop.art and she's here to give us 10 best-practice tips for writing our artist statements, thank God! Paddy is the founder of Netvvrk, a supportive membership that helps artists level-up in their careers AND also an award-winning arts writer. She has edited a gazillion artists' statements in her program so she knows what's up. Come along with us as we deconstruct the ideal statement and dispel all whiffs of passive voice and artspeak.

Don't forget that Paddy is giving a free *Live* Masterclass on May 9th at 7:30pm ET called "How To Get Seen in the Art World." Click here to find out more/rsvp for the free masterclass: https://vvrkshop.lpages.co/get-seen-in-the-art-world-live-masterclass/

Also, Pep Talk listeners that join Netvvrk during the upcoming registration period can receive a $20 discount by entering the code: PEPTALKS20.

----------------------------

Paddy's 10 Statement Writing Tips (in brief)

1) Create a Present/Past/Future hierarchy: Start with speaking about your present work, then past & then future

2) Describe the actual objects you make

3) Use plot to tell a story about your work's journey. Include "causality" and your "why": "The King died. Later, the queen died of grief"

4) Use the active voice and "I" statements

5) Unpack the metaphors in your work for the reader

6) Watch out for run-ons. No sentence should be longer than 2.5 lines in a Google Doc (Arial 11pt)

7) No more that 1 list per paragraph and no more than 3 items per list

8) Limit talk about your process to one sentence. Instead, focus on ideas

9) Length: People expect 2-3 paragraphs for a statement on your website. Don't forget to add a paragraph break after each 2 sentence block

10) Expect your statement to be ever-evolving (not static)

**Bonus 11** Write so that a 5th grader could understand and avoid artspeak / jargon (i.e. hegemony, praxis, Anthropocene).

Find Paddy online (Netvvrk) https://www.vvrkshop.art/ and on Instagram @vvrkshop.art

Artists mentioned: Elisabeth Condon, Hans Haacke, Vincent Van Gogh (Wheatfield with Crows), Charles Burchfield, Al Held, John Berger (Ways of Seeing)

Should artists go to the fairs? Or should we just leave it to the galleries and collectors? Is it too soul-crushing, or are there benefits? The hilarious Jennifer Coates is back to cohost with me this week (yay!) and I took the opportunity to grill her about her recent experience as an artist visiting "Untitled", a major art fair in Miami. Her gallery High Noon was presenting her work there as a solo booth and she went full immersion for 4 days. I went into the episode with a decided "nope" as my answer, but Jennifer kind of brought me around by bringing up some excellent points and ways to reframe one's goals. We cover how to approach gallery booths, recount some outrageous art fair fashion and discuss how to manage all your squeamish feelings while at the fair. You don't want to miss!

Collage artist and sculptor, Natalie Beall, joined me to chat about her work this week. We spoke about both her paper collage series "Utility Suite" and her painted wood and clay sculptures that tweak 2-D and 3-D space through a quiet visual flattening. Her mysterious images seem to represent game boards, domestic storage racks or display shelves that have long-lost their instructions and vital functions. Her palette is based on the muted tones of domestic interior paint chips and Canson Mi Teintes papers, and features soft oranges, browns, blues, greens, creams, grays and black. Please visit the @peptalksforartists Instagram to see images of Natalie's work!

It's just like old times having Jennifer Coates back to co-host the podcast! This week we're talking about the miasmic malaise that descends upon each of us after a show closes (and also the "narcissistic fugue state" that descends upon us during the run of the show). We all begin as studio goblins cranking on a deadline, feeding on coffee and starbursts, and then all of a sudden...the show comes...and we are thrust into the bright lights and small talk of an opening. It's a big switch, and it's bound to unnerve the best of us. Jennifer and I reveal which unearthly creatures we each think represent us as avatars when we are in studio-cranking-goblin-mode (Spoiler alert: Amy is an Olm and Jennifer is an Extremophile Bacterium). And we also hash out strategies to stay as balanced as possible during the rollercoaster ride of studio-to-show-to-deinstall-day.

This episode was inspired by 2 main sources: 1) The book "Painting the Dream" by Daniel Bergez and also 2) An online artists' talk between 3 painters: Chie Fueki, Alexi Worth and Catherine Murphy called "Painting Table: Catherine Murphy talks with Chie Fueki and Alexi Worth" 1/21/22 hosted by DC Moore Gallery: Watch here: https://vimeo.com/668978992.

In the talk, Catherine Murphy reveals that 2 of the paintings in her most recent show ("Flight" & "Begin Again") were made from real dreams that she had had (her discussion of this occurs about 1hr into the talk).

Artists and artworks mentioned: "Dream Vision" by Albrecht Durer, "Dream Vision" c 1880 (x 2) by Odilon Rédon, "Gradiva" by André Masson, Jasper Johns "Flag," "Flight" & "Begin Again" by Catherine Murphy

Authors/Poets and pieces mentioned: "Painting the Dream" book by Daniel Bergez, "The Gradiva: The Woman Who Walks" novella by Wilhelm Hermann Jensen, "Delusion and Dream in Jensen's Gradiva" essay by Sigmund Freud, "La Révolution Surréaliste" literary journal pub by Paul Eluard, Antonin Artaud, Andre Breton, Michel Leiris & Louis Aragon, "Une Vague de Rêves" poem by Louis Aragon

Louis Aragon's Poem "Une Vague de Rêves" (A Wave of Dreams) 1924
Translated from French by Susan de Muth (2003)

Excerpt used in the episode:
"Dreams, dreams, dreams, with each step the domain of dreams expands. Dreams, dreams, dreams, at last the blue sun of dreams forces the steel-eyed beasts back to their lairs. Dreams, dreams, dreams on the lips of love, on the numbers of happiness, on the teardrops of carefulness, on the signals of hope, on building sites where a whole nation submits to the authority of pickaxes. Dreams, dreams, dreams, nothing but dreams where the wind wanders and barking dogs are out on the roads. Oh magnificent Dream, in the pale morning of buildings, leaning on your elbows on chalk cornices, merging your pure, mobile features with the miraculous immobility of statues, don’t ever leave again enticed by dawn’s deliberate lies.

Who is there? Ah good: let in the infinite."

This episode I look at the plusses of slowing down and taking our own sweet time in the studio. Artist slow-poke examples include Giorgio Morandi (read by Frank Bango), Jay Defeo, Charles Burchfield's "reconstructions" like "Sun and Rocks," Michelangelo, Cy Twombly, and, last but not least: Agnes Pelton and her silver baby. I didn't hold back on the crazy effects on this one, guys...it's a full vibe. 

Agnes Pelton readings were from: 

"Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist" ed. by Gilbert Vicario

More about Ray Wells Shack history (Thanks to Tony Lagarto for his research and post on FB): "The long-time shack of Ray Martan Wells, the artist wife of real estate developer and restaurateur Nicholas Wells, founder of The Mews. Coast Guardsman Ellis built the original (central) portion of the shack in 1935 or 1936 with a side gable roof. This part of the building is located on its original site and retains its 1930s orientation, dimensions, and the majority of the structural system. The Wellses added the extant front porch in 1937... According to Gail Cohen, Nicholas and Ray Wells purchased the deed from Eugene O’Neill’s wife, Carlotta Monteray...Ray Wells lived to 103 and she inhabited her dune shack up until shortly before her death." --TL (LINK)
