His subjects look frightened and quite unfinished. I like it.

I’ve loved …
I’ve loved Clemente’s work for over 20 years now. Met the guy in the 90’s. He owns work of mine. Ugh, this is some of the most uninteresting work I’ve ever seen from him…as if I mattered to Francesco anyhow! Thanks for the video James!

I got into Clemente …
I got into Clemente after reading about the Deitch retrospective in JuliB, and being inspired to check out the show. Great stuff. People want to dismiss his stuff as style over substance, but that’s silly: The nature of art is that the style is the substance.

I think Clemente’s …
I think Clemente’s career is a marvelous testament to the power of having the right friends and going to the right parties. A glamorous wife doesn’t hurt either. Warhol’s society portraits always sucked and I think these suck even worse. I guess the difference is Warhol at least made some great art and Clemente…I like Basquiat’s “portrait” of Mary Boone as Mona Lisa.

Anyone read the …
Anyone read the short quip about Clemente’s work in this months Artnews or was it Art in America, the one without a photo? Either way Kalm’s view is a 100 times better!
