Painter's Table: Top 10 Best Posts, April 2011

Posted: 05/13/11 02:09 PM ET

Artist interviews were popular in April, particularly those between artists - painters talking to painters. Interviews in a variety of formats are some of the most interesting posts on art blogs these days. Some artist blogs focus specifically on interviews. Gorky's Grandaughter, a video blog, records studio visits, two others (standard) interview and Studio Critical pose a standard set of questions to each artist. Painting Perceptions and Henri Art Magazine are two blogs that offer longer format interviews. In late March, Painters' Table launched a section called Artist to Artist specifically to highlight blogs where artists interview each other.

Of course, there were many other great posts including exhibition reviews and commentary - a lively group as always.

Our top ten posts from April are below. Find more everyday on painters-table.com - the magazine of the painting blogosphere.

George Hofmann - Painting Life
1 of 12
George Hofmann, Bay, acrylic on linen, 67 x 85 inches


As part of Henri Art Magazine's series on Romanticism, painter George Hofmann recounts his personal experiences as a painter beginning in the 1960's. Hofmann was friendly with both Greenberg and the Color Field painters as well as the Minimalist painters and sculptors at Hunter, where he taught. Hofmann gives a first hand account of the art world at the time and describes how he came to feel that by remaining a painter he was taking up a "Romantic" position. He concludes with a generous explanation of his studio practice.

anyone ever see a sports athlete make a long lasting impression on so many in the world as art can?
No, and you never will. but why do sports get precedence over art and music in schools when it comes to funding? If we were all still Neanderthals, I could understand it, but most of us are not.

I just came out of the studio in time to find this, and also found several of my friends' work included in some of the blogs. And some of my friend's blogs! For this I am grateful to Facebook (and to a lesser degree HuffPost) for creating an amazing international virtual community for artists.
