This interview covered so much personal and professional information, I needed to read in in chapter format. Thanks to C.B. for being so accessible and for your insightful questions.
The assessment of Albers made me laugh out loud- I completely agree..
I’ll be looking for Art In the Making.
Thanks for presenting this post.

A rant at times, but why not? The rant reminds me of wonderful rants I remember from an artworld long ago and far away; those artists from the seventies and earlier in New York and elsewhere who did love to carry on. This is the world of nonacademic and noncommercial art and artists Christopher refers to with admiration. Paul Georges comes to mind. Sidney Tillim. And of course, Alice Neel. Fairfield Porter was certainly no academic, and he was initially scorned by the critical and museum world Christopher excoriates. I love the more figurative paintings especially. Great stuff. Thanks.
