#21 with James English Leary (pt. 2)

Welcome back to ARTMATTERS: The Podcast for ArtistsOn today’s episode we have the dramatic conclusion of my conversation with the artist James English Leary. Last time, James and I spoke at length about the state of art education. Today we discuss his new watercolors, collecting art, different kinds of change, deskilling, space and depiction, 19th century French painting and how unconditional support for an artists work - like love - is for babies.  We also talk Renoir, Matisse, Hockney, Schnabel, Guston, Jack Witten, Ron Gorchov and Howard Hodgkin.This will be the last episode of ARTMATTERS in 2023 so I want to say a big thank you to all of my listeners!
