I love painting abstract art. I'm forty five years old and I never wanted my paintings to mimic anyone from the past so I really had to stretch my mind to many breaking points to achieve my vision on canvas. I have a few hundred pieces I've painted over the past thirty five plus years and only about a dozen people have seen my paintings. I stayed over a friend's house over the weekend back in 2005 and it was 3am and one of their roommates had a huge round piece of cardboard and I painted a twelve hour painting for her and she was jaw dropped amazed. She ended up selling it to someone that wouldn't stop asking about and she actually asked if I would paint another painting for her LoL. I laughed and told her no I'm afraid not. I ended up finding out the buyer paid over a thousand dollars for my art that was a gift. I've always wanted to show the world my world that I've painted over the years. Everyone's a critic in the art world

Please make another video for late mr and Mrs George Morgan their haunted house still in kalimpong Sikkim india

Thank you for sharing the life of Nora Thompson Dean. ❤

It’s the size of an altoid box. What a stunning piece. It was a perfect size to carry.

Espectacular, gracias

I love Colin Bailey’s presentations. Especially, the drawings.🧑‍🎨♾️✍️

Lecture: Liberty to Imagination: Drawings from the Eveillard Gift 25.6.24. well done.....

misleading title!

Incredible collection. Sorry to have missed the exhibition.

A good friend said about my letters, she could hear my voice in my written words. So nice.

So sad when letters never arrive even when all trouble has been taken to correctly and legibly write the address. 😢

She’s pretty amazing. Like the library she’s sitting in.

Divine. Thank you.

Its sad that this video reached the wrong audience of delusional people trying to negate the materiality of historical FACTS and of race being a social construct, or worse, it reached the targeted audience but not in a way they could understand

“Art is useless.” It’s also one of the few things we seek to preserve. Or destroy. This feels like a statement a writer might tell themself to get out of their own head. Patently nonsense, though. Art is literally the only reason we know most historical events and cultures, their values, their norms, their commonalities and foibles, their in groups and out groups, their gods and their devils, why they went to war or chose to die. It’s everything we’ve ever worked to make. That’s like saying life is useless. To its own end, yes. It’s made use OF, though, categorically. Perhaps that frightens some who spend their life in service of it. Seems like cowardice to me. Art will be made use of regardless of what you sought to create it for, even if you thought it was for nothing. If it gets banned, that tells you everything. You don’t ban a thing for being idle.

Why no white gloves?

I eat up whatever this woman says

Fran Lebowitz is just another know-it-all boomer

Fran Lebowitz wrote some stuff early in her career but I think in the last 40 or 50 years she has just given talks. Does she talk from an outline or just improvise?

Anything with Fran is moist! Love her

The wild man with a stick is where we get the "F word" from. It's a german word in origin meaning; to hit a woman over the head with a stick and sleep with her. Also, white women have the thickest skulls of any group, only the strong survive as they say.

Mark Twain of course took the "voice" of "Huck Finn" from his shoe-shine moments talking with a young Black man who regaled him with stories and frank rapport. "If I'd a-knowed what a trouble it was to make a book, I warn't never a-tackled it, and I ain't a-goin' to no more."

"There are two kinds of people in New York: the kind of people who have room for books and the kind of people who have books - and they are never the same people." -Fran Lebowitz

Will go, Fran!

She’s for sure one of my favorite people ❤

I need 70 hours of this not 5 minutes

Without gloves? Oh my God.

Why is fran allowed to touch these documents with her bare hands she should be wearing gloves!!!!!! Omg

In Netflix who is main character in pretend its a City?

Love this convo! Love you Fran! Thank you!

I think this was clipped from a longer video.

By art being "useless," she means it's not utilitarian, but purely hedonic.

📚🧐✌️🌟🥳.

She br9ught a tear to my eye speaking (so briefly) about Oscar Wilde, I felt the exact same sentiment regarding her feelings about my namesake!

I'm not sure which book has influenced me most in life but I'm positive which preface has

Two kinds of people in NYC, those who have books and those who have room for it.

Thank you Fran. You are one of our treasures as well.

When I first saw her on a talk show, I thought she was Fran Lively-wits.

“Art is useless.”

Thank you, Fran!

Does Fran know that California banned “To Kill A Mockingbird” because they said it was racist?

I adore Fran Lebowitz.

Fran, although she’d probably cringe at what I’m going to write, is a national treasure.

Outstanding! Thanks for sharing.

4:27 😍 Heaven might be real, after all.

I feel like these could be much longer

She’s also a New York treasure.

Amazing enlightenments! I could listen to Fran talk all day long.

Fran Lebowitz. To the point. Concise. Best advocate for both the Morgan Library and New York. Thank you.

If the title says "Fran Lebowitz" - it's a thousand percent chance I'll click on the video 😂😁
