what's up guys it's Matt here again from
0:01
felter grade and today I'm going to be
0:03
going over 10 of my favorite books most
0:05
of them being art books or biographies
0:08
or photography related and yeah I just
0:10
want to give you a little bit of a look
0:13
into my favorites that I have in my
0:15
collection I have tons and tons of books
0:18
and over the past five years really I've
0:20
been trying to just Stack Up and collect
0:22
it's one of my favorite things to do and
0:25
yeah it's always fun sharing it with
0:27
other people letting them know about who
0:29
my influences are who inspires me and
0:32
kind of the range of what I'm looking at
0:35
I think it's really beneficial when
0:36
other people share what they're reading
0:38
or what they're looking at and I'm
0:40
always interested to share what I'm
0:42
looking at because I know how it breeds
0:46
discussion and and there's no right or
0:47
wrong as to what you're inspiring
0:49
Yourself by but my favorite thing is
0:52
finding these little weird books that
0:56
come from all these different places and
0:58
and and how they all in in a sense they
1:00
all tell their own story not just what's
1:02
in the book but also by how you ACH how
1:05
you acquired the book um what what stage
1:08
of your life you were in at that time
1:10
all these different things so today I'm
1:12
just going to be going over 10 of my
1:13
favorite ones I might thr throw in a few
1:16
extras at the end just so you can get a
1:18
better uh idea of of what I've been
1:20
researching over the past couple of
1:22
years and yeah regardless I just hope
1:24
that this leads to a discussion in the
1:26
comments and it helps inspire you to go
1:29
out so building your book collection and
1:32
just really think about you know art
1:34
from a different perspective whether it
1:36
be photography sculpture architecture
1:39
and design or or any of the any of the
1:42
the stories behind the artists that are
1:44
that are making all these incredible and
1:46
impactful things so let's just go ahead
1:48
and get into it and yeah I'll share a
1:50
little bit about more on each book on
1:53
who's involved with the books maybe some
1:55
of some some little tidbits about the
1:57
publishing companies and and things like
1:59
that but I hope you guys
2:02
enjoy all right so to start one of my
2:05
first books that I ever added to my
2:07
collection was this biography and
2:11
overall retrospective of the artist Sai
2:14
tley he's one of my favorite abstract
2:16
artists and he's known for his like
2:18
Scribble style where he uses lots of
2:20
pencils and an oil stick and things like
2:23
that and he's from Lexington Virginia he
2:27
died in Rome Italy and he really was a
2:30
world traveler that's how I've seen him
2:32
and I've known lots of his his work some
2:35
of it will be in America some of it will
2:36
be in Europe and he really was not ever
2:40
really in one place he was always moving
2:42
around and like I mentioned before he's
2:44
known for his his scribbly almost
2:47
childish type of style where some people
2:51
almost get mad at it because they're
2:53
like well a kid could do this or I could
2:55
do this why is he why is he able to be
2:57
known for it and one of the things that
2:59
I remember reading about sley is the
3:02
fact that he would say he used to
3:05
prepare and think about painting for an
3:07
hour or two or even longer sometimes
3:09
probably longer a lot of the time and
3:12
then all of a sudden it would jump out
3:14
of him within a span of 15 minutes it
3:16
didn't take long to make his paintings
3:19
for him it was very
3:22
um just I don't want to say rushed but I
3:25
assume that it was very just quick quick
3:28
mark making and and he used to be in the
3:31
Army working as a code reader and it
3:35
it's said in many different stories that
3:37
he would he would paint or make his
3:40
Works lots of time was with pencil not
3:42
even with paint but with pencil and
3:44
graphite and and oil pastels or oil
3:46
sticks he would do them under his bed
3:48
sheets while he was in the Army and
3:51
really fascinating to see kind of how he
3:54
was able to produce his Works he made
3:57
lots of sculptures he made lots of of um
4:00
photographs as well so he wasn't just a
4:02
painter or or an illustrator or he was
4:06
he was a man of many hats and yeah just
4:08
looking through his Works um really
4:11
really inspired me to start making
4:13
things of my own because I used to think
4:16
of art as such a definitive thing oh it
4:18
has to be this it has to be that and
4:21
seeing his Works he's it's very clear
4:25
that he's studying and he's looking
4:28
for the understanding of things not for
4:31
things to look cool but how can he make
4:34
his own marks and his own philosophies
4:36
based on his marks so great book I
4:40
highly recommend it um it's a really
4:43
long book and there's multiple different
4:44
xays and excerpts and and photographs of
4:47
him throughout his life alongside all of
4:49
his artworks and things like that so I
4:51
definitely recommend this if you haven't
4:53
already heard of s tley definitely look
4:55
him up and definitely check out the book
4:58
if it's possible for you it's it's a
4:59
really great read and just a great
5:01
coffee table um item or book to have on
5:04
your bookshelf it's it's it's great I
5:07
love it so much and whenever someone
5:10
asks me this is always my my first and
5:12
foremost recommended book because it
5:15
will really reshape the way that you
5:17
think about art especially just because
5:19
of how sloppy and how like I said before
5:22
how how childish or childlike some of
5:25
his Mark making is so I highly recommend
5:27
it and yeah let's let's go ahead and get
5:30
into the next
5:33
one so the next book that I'm going to
5:36
recommend I'm actually still in the
5:38
midst of finishing up but it was a a
5:40
Christmas gift for my friend Sam and
5:43
it's based on one of my favorite artists
5:44
of all time Tracy Emon she's
5:48
very sexually charged and almost vulgar
5:52
if you will and she's been making art
5:54
for a long long time she has plenty of
5:58
paintings photographs
6:00
self-portraits and now I'm really
6:03
grateful to be able to read some of her
6:05
writings as well because I never even
6:07
knew in the past that she had her own
6:09
writings and yeah so this book is called
6:12
strangeland and it's actually by Tracy
6:14
Emon she's still currently alive and
6:17
it's been really fascinating to learn
6:19
more about her through her own words
6:21
because a lots of times with artists you
6:23
don't get to hear it from their own
6:24
perspective and I've been studying Tracy
6:27
emin's work now for five or six years
6:30
and never have I really besides watching
6:34
interviews of her I've never really just
6:36
read it from her own perspective now
6:38
that I'm getting to read her book it's
6:40
really really fascinating because all
6:42
the pieces kind of are coming together
6:45
um she's an English artist she's known
6:47
for a lot of her confessional artwork
6:49
and seems almost religious
6:53
and um for lack of better words just
6:56
charged with life and death and I think
6:59
it's a beautiful thing to be able to
7:02
study living artists um she's in my eyes
7:06
predominantly a painter but often times
7:10
I hate saying that an artist is one
7:12
thing because as soon as I start to dive
7:14
in and look more at their work I know
7:16
them for their photographs or for their
7:18
films or for their whatever medium
7:20
they're using and yeah it's it's really
7:23
fascinating um I'm really enjoying the
7:25
book and I highly recommend it it's a
7:27
it's a relatively easy read um lots of
7:30
different short stories and excerpts and
7:33
nothing too um yeah nothing too
7:36
difficult to read so it's been really
7:38
fascinating to learn about her a little
7:40
bit more um yeah so I I highly recommend
7:44
this book definitely get it if you don't
7:46
already have it and let's go ahead and
7:48
get into the next one okay so the next
7:50
book is William Kentridge In Praise of
7:52
Shadows so the reason why this is one of
7:55
my favorite books is because William
7:57
Kentridge has such a diverse style and
8:01
rather than only focusing on the artwork
8:04
he focuses on many different mediums but
8:06
he mainly he but he mainly centers it
8:09
around his Studio practice so he's known
8:12
for his film work um lots of handdrawn
8:16
films made with charcoal where there's
8:18
no erasing he just continually adds and
8:21
makes this animated scene based off of
8:23
original drawings that he's worked with
8:26
um he's known for his large scale
8:29
uh paperworks where it's on Old
8:35
dictionary pages and old notebook found
8:39
paper and all these different scrap
8:41
materials and it's really really
8:43
interesting he has lots of work I think
8:44
his his main thing is definitely
8:47
charcoal at least recently but some of
8:49
my favorite works by him are where he's
8:52
in the studio making almost like these
8:54
self-portrait videos where he's
8:56
interviewing himself or talking to the
8:58
audience
8:59
as if he's talking to you or me just as
9:02
a one-on-one and it's really fascinating
9:05
I think his practice has evolved a lot
9:08
since his earlier work and I'm I'm a
9:11
huge fan when I got to see it in LA last
9:14
year in person it really changed the way
9:16
that I thought about creating art and
9:18
what art is he has many different
9:21
sculptures many different tapestry Works
9:24
many different short films and an
9:28
Interactive performance pieces um
9:31
another one of my favorite works by him
9:32
is called the refusal of time where
9:34
you're sitting in this room or standing
9:37
rather and you're surrounded by five
9:40
different screens and in the middle
9:43
there's this big
9:46
clock thing I think it's referred to as
9:49
the elephant but it's it's almost as if
9:51
it's alive and you hear all these
9:53
different screens and while you're
9:55
surrounded by it you're trying to rush
9:57
and look left and right and straight
9:58
ahead of you and follow what's going on
10:01
but it's so charged that you almost
10:05
can't follow everything and it's a
10:07
really beautiful piece I highly
10:09
recommend looking it up I will say this
10:11
is one of those pieces where even if you
10:13
do see it um online you really don't get
10:16
the full experience it changed me when I
10:18
saw it in person because I was fully
10:21
immersed in this room of William
10:24
Kentridge whether it was feeling the
10:27
sculpture uh in the middle of the room
10:30
or seeing all the different performance
10:32
pieces that were captured on video
10:35
around me and not only that but you're
10:38
also hearing this whole entire music
10:40
score so lots of your senses are being
10:44
just over stimulated and it it really is
10:48
a truly fascinating piece of work um
10:51
William Kentridge is born in South
10:53
Africa and a lot of his work is charged
10:55
by South African movements and politics
10:58
and and and the aparte and what's gone
11:00
on in South Africa over the past 50 60
11:04
hundred years so I highly recommend
11:06
looking him up and getting the book
11:09
William Kentridge In Praise of Shadows
11:11
if you haven't already seen it um I also
11:13
highly recommend going to his show in
11:16
person because it will truly change the
11:18
way that you think about art um I'm
11:20
pretty sure that it's still touring
11:22
around the world right now not sure
11:24
where exactly it is as of last year in
11:27
January 2023
11:29
it was in California at the Broad Museum
11:32
but I'm sure it will be all over the
11:34
world within the next you know couple of
11:36
years so highly highly recommend his
11:39
work and yeah I'm a I'm a big fan and I
11:43
I enjoy seeing what he is continuously
11:45
making he as well as Tracy Emon they're
11:48
both still alive which we're very
11:50
fortunate for because we get to see
11:51
their practice in real time not in a
11:55
historical older context so definitely
11:57
check out his work
12:00
um my next favorite book is the Great
12:04
Brook the Great Book of French
12:06
impressionism uh this book as you can
12:09
see is massive it's very heavy but it's
12:12
a
12:13
very good well put together
12:18
um
12:20
just I don't even know if retrospective
12:23
is the right word it's just a whole
12:24
entire collection of all the French
12:27
Impressionists all the Old Masters and
12:31
it's a beautiful collection of work
12:33
these are some of the works that when I
12:34
was in Middle School I remember first
12:36
inspiring me from the likes of George
12:39
Sarat to Claude Monae to Edward man and
12:45
and very many different different
12:46
artists Camille Koo just tons and tons
12:50
of stories and exp and exerpts paired
12:53
along with the paintings themselves from
12:56
all these different artists and it's
12:58
just truly beautiful I highly recommend
13:01
this book because it's not hyperfocused
13:03
on any one artist but rather focused on
13:06
the movement of French impressionism
13:08
which led to the Discovery and the
13:10
development of of so many other painters
13:13
and other movements from that point in
13:16
history that it's truly truly amazing
13:19
and I definitely recommend this if you
13:22
can't get the book itself go online and
13:26
search up French impressionism because
13:28
it's just a beautiful beautiful period
13:29
of artwork and yeah I think I think I
13:33
originally got this book off eBay for
13:35
maybe 12 or $15 and as you can see it's
13:39
massive first off and it's let me look I
13:43
think it's yeah it's almost 450 pages of
13:46
different artists work so if you're
13:50
looking for a book that shows lots of
13:53
different artwork rather than just one
13:56
specific artist this is the book for you
13:58
um um not everybody's into French
14:00
impressionism but for myself it's one of
14:03
the things that really inspired me to
14:04
start painting and it's just a great
14:07
read overall you see a lot a lot of
14:09
different works so definitely check this
14:11
out if you haven't
14:12
already the next book that I am also
14:16
currently in the middle of reading it's
14:18
a pretty decent sized book is the Fredo
14:20
Freda Kyo um biography by Hayden Herrera
14:26
um really interesting story about her
14:30
whole entire life from her upbringing to
14:32
her death and all the the little moments
14:35
in between it's really been fascinating
14:37
to learn more about her the way that she
14:40
was injured in a bus crash and how that
14:44
impacted her to start painting more than
14:47
ever and
14:48
how it it led to the development of her
14:52
style I think in the way that she was
14:54
feeling and the way that she was trying
14:55
to express her feelings so I highly
14:58
recommend this it's a great read um
15:02
she's a very famous artist that is
15:04
showing pieces all around the world at
15:06
all the at all times and it's a good
15:09
background of not only her life but her
15:11
family background and and her art career
15:14
and and everything like that how she
15:15
even got started into it so definitely
15:18
check this out even if you don't find
15:20
this exact book I highly recommend
15:22
looking up Freda Koo and her work she's
15:25
very fascinating and very influential in
15:27
the whole world of Art and as we know it
15:30
the next book that really shaped the way
15:32
that I think about art is pure beauty by
15:34
John baldasari um John baldasari is a
15:37
very inspiration to me a very big
15:40
inspiration to me his work
15:43
is very abstract but at the same time
15:47
also very understandable um which sounds
15:50
like an oxymoron but he does a lot of
15:53
Photography work a lot of sculptural
15:55
work and a lot of just interesting um
15:59
collaging almost if you will lots of
16:02
different subject matter but at the same
16:04
time he's he focuses on himself and his
16:07
self-portraiture and things around him
16:10
and it's just really interesting looking
16:12
at his work he was actually a teacher at
16:16
I'm not sure the university but at a
16:18
school in California and at a certain
16:21
point in his career he actually burned
16:24
all the work that he ever made and then
16:26
just restarted from scratch so a lot of
16:29
the work from before that period we
16:31
don't even know what it looks like or or
16:33
what it was inspired by or anything like
16:35
that he just burned it all and started
16:39
fresh again um some of my favorite
16:41
Pieces by John baldasari are actually
16:44
his rules for art where he in an artist
16:49
fashion he puts on canvas or on paper
16:53
what his rules for art are as if there
16:57
are specific rules that that you need to
16:58
follow to create art and it's really
17:01
fascinating it's some of my favorite
17:02
work by him um some of them are
17:05
photography based some of them are just
17:07
generally art-based but these are works
17:10
that I studied while I was in college at
17:12
UMass Boston studying art history and
17:15
it's really interesting I think it's a
17:17
almost a humorous way to go about making
17:20
art is telling others how to make art um
17:25
yeah just a great book overall there's
17:26
lots of stories about his life lots of
17:28
stories about his art practice and his
17:30
teachings um so overall great great book
17:36
if you haven't heard about John bosari
17:38
I'd definitely recommend looking him up
17:40
because he's just truly a great great
17:44
artist that inspired many people and
17:47
he's no longer with us today but his
17:49
artwork will forever be
17:51
here
17:53
the the next book that I wanted to share
17:56
is actually a book from a friend of mine
17:58
m Joe TZ and the book is called
18:00
emergence um this features all of Joe's
18:04
paintings from his first two to three
18:07
years worth of painting throughout the
18:08
pandemic and up until now really which
18:11
is truly fascinating and I'm really
18:13
grateful to have this book um I've seen
18:15
Joe create many different Works in
18:17
person firsthand um I met him a couple
18:22
years back while doing an interview
18:24
about his artwork and since then I've
18:27
I've been docu men in his work I've been
18:30
studying his work and I've been really
18:32
fascinated to see the the development of
18:35
his process and of his style um his work
18:39
during Co started out as very dark very
18:44
um abstract and although it still
18:47
definitely is abstract he's leaning into
18:50
much more different styles and his
18:51
development and use of color and
18:53
different materials so it's been great
18:55
to see all the different styles
18:58
emerge um from him and from his
19:02
development of choice of mediums and
19:05
different Studios that he's worked at
19:06
and I I definitely have different
19:08
opinions on his work than other people
19:11
might because I've known him and seen
19:13
his work practice for so long now but I
19:17
wanted to include an artist that I
19:18
actually knew firsthand because I think
19:22
for me and this is a discussion point
19:25
that I'd love to hear about in the
19:26
comments but for me knowing the Artist
19:29
as opposed to knowing of an artist
19:32
really will impact the way that you
19:33
think about the art and I don't just
19:35
mean this for photo and video and
19:38
painting and sculpting but also for
19:40
music and and many other different
19:41
mediums if you know the person firsthand
19:44
you get such a different perspective
19:46
because you get to hear it um from the
19:50
voice of the artist and you get to see
19:52
it from the the perspective of somebody
19:54
getting to watch the artist the same way
19:57
a disciple
19:58
that you know knows of someone firsthand
20:02
they're going to have a much different
20:03
perspective so it's been really
20:05
interesting and fascinating to see him
20:08
develop and grow over time and I'm
20:10
forever grateful to get to continue to
20:12
watch his character development his
20:15
style and just getting to know him more
20:17
and more as a friend as time goes on so
20:20
it's been great and if you don't have it
20:22
already which I don't know that you
20:25
would because it's been um pretty recent
20:28
since the book came
20:30
out I highly recommend emergence by Joe
20:37
Tas the next book that I'm a huge huge
20:40
fan of is Mark Rothco um this is called
20:44
the color field paintings and it's a
20:46
study of all of his color field
20:49
paintings where lots of people during
20:51
this time period And even still to this
20:53
day don't really understand why Mark
20:56
Rothco is is famous and why his work is
20:59
known when it's just color blobs and and
21:01
shapes and just these weird for lack of
21:06
better word field paintings um I felt
21:09
the same way when I first got into his
21:11
work and I still in a sense I do get
21:14
curious as to how his style developed so
21:17
much over time and how people started
21:19
gravitating towards it more and more
21:21
especially after his death
21:24
um like baldasari rtho was a teacher um
21:28
in New York at the time of his life and
21:31
he was
21:34
very just interested in this abstract
21:39
expressionism where I've read multiple
21:42
books about him and it said that he
21:44
would thin his paints and spend more
21:46
time mixing paints and sitting and
21:49
observing his paintings than he would
21:51
actually painting them to me this always
21:54
seemed interesting because when you
21:56
think about painting at least from my
21:59
perspective I always think about the
22:00
artists working and working and working
22:02
meaning they're actually putting brush
22:04
to Canvas OR they're actually sculpting
22:06
all the time and when I read more about
22:08
Rothco this always inspired me because
22:11
it talked so much about he was
22:14
most he spent most of his time actually
22:17
mixing the paints and thinking about the
22:19
lighting in the room not only while he
22:22
was painting but where the painting will
22:23
be
22:24
shown one of my favorite facts about um
22:28
Rothco to tell to other people too is
22:30
that he spent a lot of time thinking
22:33
about how far off the ground his
22:35
painting should be shown often times his
22:38
paintings were only 2 or 3 feet off the
22:40
ground whereas many other works of art
22:42
they're shown just at I level they're in
22:44
the middle of the room and it's
22:47
fascinating to me that he thought almost
22:49
more about how the painting will be
22:51
shown than the painting itself or
22:55
working on the painting um this might be
22:57
because because of the subject matter
22:59
being
23:00
so not Bland but so minimal um lots of
23:04
just colors and shapes and color
23:07
Fields just beautiful beautiful work and
23:10
if you haven't looked into his work I
23:12
highly recommend it because it's
23:14
so confusing that I think that's what
23:17
makes me so drawn to it cuz still after
23:19
studying his work for so long I'm still
23:23
just questioning it every single time I
23:25
look at it because it makes me feel so
23:27
strongly about why is it like this what
23:29
can do this to make me feel this way and
23:32
many things like that so definitely
23:35
check out the work of Mark Rothco um
23:38
truly truly an amazing artist that
23:40
changed the way we look at at painting
23:42
and and art in general to this
23:45
day next book that I had in mind was
23:48
about the famous drip painter Jackson
23:51
Pollock um he's known for many of his
23:53
like I said his drip paintings where he
23:56
will be Standing On Top of the canvas
23:59
that's laid out on the floor flailing
24:01
paint from left to right and he was a
24:03
big abstract abstract artist
24:08
where he used lots of elements of the
24:11
human anatomy so how his body was
24:13
dancing uh as a painting technique and
24:16
he used lots of different enamels and
24:18
oil paints and and all different kinds
24:21
of mediums as well with these paintings
24:23
but I've seen videos where he's
24:26
rhythmically painting all over the place
24:29
um on the floor most of the time and
24:31
it's just a beautiful process to
24:33
see this book is has lots of different
24:36
stories about his life um and about the
24:39
way that he painted and it shows not
24:42
really too much of his process um but it
24:45
shows lots of his studies and lots of
24:47
his abstract pieces and it's just really
24:50
interesting to dive into his work
24:52
because I think many painters think that
24:55
you have to put brush directly to can
24:57
canas and you have to paint something
25:00
whereas Jackson poock is really in my
25:03
eyes special because he was not even
25:06
touching the brush with the canvas
25:08
sometimes he would be flailing the paint
25:10
like I mentioned just dripping it on top
25:12
and allowing it to sit there and rest
25:14
and let gravity kind of do its thing um
25:18
so yeah great great work I'm a big fan
25:21
of his and and I think he changed the
25:22
way that people really think about
25:24
painting so I highly recommend looking
25:26
up his work if you haven't already the
25:29
last book that I have in mind is a
25:32
current is a recent um Discovery but
25:35
Henry Taylor his name is Chinatown
25:38
Taylor on Instagram and this is actually
25:41
how I found out about him through
25:42
Instagram I loved his work on there and
25:47
he's still alive today he he's been
25:49
showing um his body of portraits
25:53
and his body of work throughout America
25:57
over the past year I originally saw it
25:59
in California as well in January 2023
26:03
and I think right now um it's January
26:05
20124 now I think it's in um Brooklyn
26:08
New York he's showing many different
26:11
museums all over the world and just
26:14
really really interesting abstract
26:16
figurative works
26:19
that are are politically charged and
26:26
they're just
26:28
beautiful beautiful Works um lots of he
26:32
has lots of different sculptures lots of
26:36
different paintings that he'll just do
26:38
on the wall or using old found materials
26:42
very um almost assemblage like uh one of
26:45
my favorite works by him I remember
26:47
seeing it at the mocha the Museum of
26:50
Contemporary Art in California was this
26:53
piece that had actual chicken bones in
26:55
it and it was a semi semi painting semis
26:58
sculptural work and just really
27:01
fascinating the way he Blends um found
27:04
objects with painted objects and and how
27:07
he in how politics and life around him
27:11
is able to influence his work um many
27:14
times he'll find people on the street
27:17
and actually pay them to to make a
27:19
portrait of them um he'll he'll work
27:22
with family and friends and and paint
27:25
from real life which I think is a
27:27
practice that is not dying but it's not
27:32
as known or it's not as common anymore
27:35
and it's been really interesting
27:37
especially seeing his work on Instagram
27:38
and in person and as well through the
27:41
book it's really interesting to see kind
27:43
of all these different ways of going
27:46
about painting so very fascinated by
27:49
that and very intriguing I think this is
27:52
also a great coffee table book it's nice
27:55
and big very heavyweight and it's filled
27:58
filled filled with many of his different
28:01
paintings um and studies and writings
28:05
and little stories about him and essays
28:07
about him
28:08
so great catalog of work if you haven't
28:11
already definitely check out Henry
28:13
Taylor his work is absolutely incredible
28:16
and will change the way that you not
28:18
only think about art but that you think
28:20
