MICHAEL KLEIN on SUGGESTED DONATION PODCAST

We sat down at the Salmagundi Club with our friend, the tremendously talented 
Michael Klein to talk about his roots in smal-town North Dakota, his life in small-town 
Argentina, his video magazine, Instructional Documentary, his faith and, of course, 
his outstanding paintings. You can view his paintings, or purchase his
excellent instructional videos through his website
 
As always, a huge thanks to the Salmagundi Club in NYC for hosting us, and to Jay Braun 
for the backbreaking task of making us sound good. 
We hope you enjoy this latest installment of the Suggested Donation Podcast!

Vincent Desiderio is one of the leading figurative painters of our time. His work is featured in collections including the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim Museum, The Walker Art Center among many others. He is a senior critic at the New York Academy of Art and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Vincent has a reputation as one of the leading intellects in figurative art, and he did not disappoint. We are honored to have him join us on Suggested Donation, at the Salmangundi Club in New York City for a fascinating conversation about his work and his deep love for art history, film and philosophy.

Suggested Donation sits down with George O'Hanlon of Natural Pigments and Rublev Paints


We are joined by George O'Hanlon from Natural Pigments for an in depth geek-out on artist's materials. George walks us through his view on the state of the artist's materials business, and the differences in what we are using now versus what artists of the past used.  George is very thoughtful and knowledgeable - to learn more you can sign up for his "Best Practices" lecture, which Tony had just completed before we sat down for the recording. Tony also tests Ted on his materials awareness.  Check out George's great line of artist materials and more info on his site. Enjoy!

In Conversation with Jacob Collins

We are back and very proud to present our latest installment, a conversation with artist Jacob Collins.

Jacob is a seminal force in the realist movement. He has taught and mentored countless artists, and inspired many more through his beautiful painting.  His commissions include a Supreme Court Justice, a U.S. President, and his “Eastholm Project” which was a conduit to the formation of the Hudson River Fellowship. He has been featured in numerous interviews and articles, including a profile in "The New Yorker." In the late nineties, he founded the Water Street Atelier and has been at the center of the Atelier Movement ever since, now through the Grand Central Academy. We are excited to bring you a conversation with a teacher, mentor and close friend to both of us.
As always, you can find the podcast on our website or look up "Suggested Donation" in the iTunes store.
