- For over fifty years, Jack Whitten has been a pioneer of abstract painting in America, constantly pushing the boundaries of the medium with highly innovative materials, methods and processes. Throughout his career, the 76-year-old, New York-based artist has displayed a rare virtuosity and inventiveness, working in a breadth of styles that consistently anticipate some of the most significant developments within abstract painting. Whitten is a major forerunner to the burgeoning tendency of “Social Abstraction” in American art, which embeds social issues within personal modes of expression.
This lecture is a part of the Boston University School of Visual Arts Contemporary Perspectives Lecture Series (CPLS).

It's hard to believe that I just learned just a few weeks ago about Jack Whitten's art, and now I've learned he has passed on. So happy that I made the discovery but as all true talents they leave us too soon. RIP Jack Whitten. Your paintings are alive to me.
Would have loved him as an instructor. Glad to hear there’s videos like this
My mentor for two yrs at C Union. Miss you Jack.
Probably my new bestest favoritist artist. How much I miss you, even though we never met.
It's amazing this Baba Lion was 89 when he gave this lecture and he looks/moves like someone 30+ years younger. Wish I could have met him!
He was 76. 26:27. Born Dec. 1939. This was made in 2016. Still good for his age.
beautiful, RIP Legend
that answer with "I could not take it any longer" is a... don't know how to say... yea that's the answer showing me how deeply humble this man was... admiring.
