Francis Livingston: Western Artist (Part One) - Epi. 236, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Francis Livingston on the podcast today. I'd had Francis on probably three or four years ago and we talked about his life and the backstory of how he became an artist.  This time, he's here for a show that we're doing, 'Forests and Beyond' and I thought I would really like to spend a little time just talking about the nuance of his place in the art world.This podcast is a two-parter. In the first part, we start to talk about modern art and how it relates to what he does today. He also speaks on how he sees his own paintings today and the way that he attacks the canvas to reveal forms and color.The second part is all about Illustration and the history of illustration, where it started, where it went, and how he was involved. then Francis goes on to talk about the future of the illustration industry, relating art directors hiring digital artists over traditional artists back then, to a.i. systems replacing digital artists in the near future.So this is Francis Livingston, part one, on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast episode 236.View 'Francis Livingston: Forests and Beyond' online:https://www.medicinemangallery.com/medicine-man-gallery-antique-native-american-western-art-collections/march-10-2023
