"Context is decisive," as in, the context often 'decides' the meaning. Getting present to the context is immensely powerful, especially in our own lives, where so much context (that we inherit from family/culture/surroundings/etc) shape so much of how we view the world and others as well as how we be in it. In the same vein, something being "finished" or not is also our invented context or judgement. Like ruins, the opposite in the 'unfinished' can be more powerful and even beautiful to us. It was great to see examples of artists who embraced that as an integral part of the work. (As a hilarious flipside, when the Centre Pompidou opened in Paris, many people asked "when will it be finished?" because their context saw the outer skin as being construction scaffolding... :P) Great exploration and meditation, thanks John!

I have to say, I think my favorite piece of purposefully unfinished artwork would have to be "Unfinished Painting" (1989) by Keith Haring - one of the last pieces he finished before his death from the AIDS virus. There's something so jarring about how full of life the one corner of the piece is, only to be abruptly cut off and bleed away, leaving most of the canvas vacant of his expressive style. A powerful statement about his own life, and the loves of others cut short by the epidemic of HIV/AIDS in the 80s. His style has been a big influence on my own works, but that piece alone is why he is perhaps my favorite artist of all time.

In his recent series "stolen" he draws portraits of victims of police brutality and colors them for a duration of time according to how long they lived. He's using an unfinished look as a visual symbol for a life taken too soon, thought it was fitting and worth a mention.

On an auction house website I saw a photo of an unfinished oil portrait of Prince C.-Maurice de Talleyrand by Belliard, which had sold at auction for a surprising price. The head and cravat were preliminarily finished, but the dark coat only limned in; the dark background complete only around the head, and suggested behind the rest of the upper body. The artist would undoubtedly have finished the face with finer brushes; but the bold brushwork of face and hair is loose, with a surprisingly modern feel in recording the lines and shadows of the impassive, intelligent face. The portrait shows in alert stillness a character of iron will, dangerous depths, charismatic and aristocratic grace. I copied the photo, then completed the clothing and background with photo-shopI It is now framed and hanging over my mantlepiece. The enigmatic smile and steely glance of the half-closed eyes warns the observer to match wits with this elegant gentleman at their peril.

*Draws half A stick figure* Critic: The beauty of the artist's vision is exemplary. I can almost feel the polyester paintbrush, lightly skimming the copy paper. The artist creating a scene that of which shows humanity unfinished. I sense dread and emotion from the figure, it's complexity assured. One might say that the figure Is cheap... Or crass... But alas once you peel the layer of simplicity away from the false impressions that one might first conceive, then true beauty emerges.

I love the originality of this video's topic (and I also love John's refreshing humour). Unfinished paintings are indeed humanizing. I feel like it's easy to deify artists when you're not an artist yourself. I look at, for example, the Sistine Chapel ceiling and I really feel like Michelangelo isn't human; he's more of an idea, or the force behind the artwork. Unfinished artworks are really humanizing; making idealized artists human. Also, it's exciting to see a Kerry James Marshal painting show up! I published my own video on Marshall just before yesterday! What an amazing artist!

Casuistry.. pure postmodern psychobabble tripe. Classical works are unfinished because artists didn't have the time or opportunity to finish them. As if finished work isn't 'humanizing'. Vermeer (for example) finished his work, is 'humanizing', but one can't imagine him striding around Mount Olympus flexing his biceps. Same for Rembrandt, or Velazquez.. or dozens of others. Michelangelo laid on his back for months with paint dripping on to his face, suffering , no doubt, cramp and lumbago as a result. He had a career shaping commission he had to finish and also wanted to get paid. He was also a believer. He just worked very hard and was very determined to finish it. It took much planning, it wasn't dashed off in a bout of inspiration. Finishing something takes application , work and diligence. It takes a long term commitment, which is why we have the great achievements of western civilisation in the first place, and why the child-like modernists rejected it so much (hence why we have no great artistic achievements now and why this numpty of a presenter tries to wrap yet another dubious alchemical air around the notion of being lazy.

My aunt was an artist, and one of my favorite portraits she did was the one she was working on when she passed away. She loved painting children, especially children from the school/care facility where she taught. Her last painting was going to be a close-up of a girl playing with something, but all that was done was a rough outline of the face and hands with the beginnings of the background colors mixed in. Many of my aunt's students had serious disabilities and often did not live into their adulthood. It's a beautiful and sobering piece of art, and it reminds me that in my aunt's passing, she was reunited with several of her students she had to see die before her.

It's a collection of portraits of black lives lost to police brutality, then colored relative to the age that person died in minutes (26 minutes spent coloring for 26 years, 46 minutes for 46 years, etc). He originally did the collection for an exhibit in 2019, but has made it an ongoing series because of the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and George Floyd. Amazing colorful portraits that become a reminder of the lives lost to police brutality

It perfectly looks like any modern art painting. I would have never guessed that it wasn't a completed work, because the important part, his face, is complete. And from there it radiates out, like fading the rest as it gets away from his face.

I was so excited to visit “David” in Florence back in 1975 on my 16th birthday. But I ended up being blown away by “The Prisoners”.

I like the Benjamin West painting because of its unintentional symbolism. Much like the painting, the American experiment is not over.

Unfinished artworks are also an important pedagogical tool when teaching someone painting techniques. The student can see the different stages of construction of a painting in one glance.

You can see my procreate files if you want to see unfinished arts. I got thousands of them.

The Kehinde Wiley portrait of Obama is less of a departure if one understands the context for which it was commissioned. The Wiley portrait was commissioned for the National Portrait gallery, whose collection includes a number of Presidental portraits which depart from the more conservative “important men touching paper” form. Some highlights include: Elaine de Kooning’s almost fauvist portrait of JFK npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.99.75?destination=portraits/collection-highlights/presidential-portraits%3Fpage%3D1 Douglas Granville Chandra’s preparatory sketch of FDR npg.si.edu/object/npg_NPG.68.49?destination=portraits/collection-highlights/presidential-portraits%3Fpage%3D2 Chuck Close’s portrait of Bill Clinton, in Close’s district style npg.si.edu/blog/now-on-view-bill-clinton-chuck-close The Wiley portrait should not be confused for the portrait commissioned for the White House collection, which historically are more formal than the National Gallery portrait. The Obama White House portrait has not yet been unveiled, so we don’t know if Pres Obama choose to continue that more formal tradition with his commission. Perhaps he chose an artist who’ll portray him touching paper - we’ll see.

Small mistake in the video. That Obama painting is NOT his official presidential portrait. It’s his presidential portrait for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. That’s why it is so unusual, it’s not an official White House portrait unlike the others shown. Obama Official White House presidential portrait has not been made yet.

1:41 I disagree that Obama’s portrait is the **only** interesting presidential portrait. Kennedy’s portrait is a fascinating study of his psyche
