Teal Blake: Western Painter & Cowboy Artist of America - Epi. 261, Host Dr. Mark Sublette
Manage episode 376875066 series 2305039
So many of the podcasts that I do deal with Western art, but rarely do I have an artist that epitomizes what it means to be a "Western artist" the way that Teal Blake does. Teal was raised in Montana and he's been in the West his whole life and currently lives in Texas.
Not only does he have the credentials of being a Western individual, but he was a professional cowboy for seven years as part of the rodeo circuit. To take that life experience and translate it into how he paints and sees the world, provides an authenticity that you rarely see in the average Western artist. Teal has said authenticity in spades.
He also has a father who is a very interesting guy, Buckeye Blake, a well-known artist who does, not only illustrative type art but sculptural works that live in front of some major museums. His mother is very artistic in her own right and was friends with Richard Avedon, who was such an important photographer.
So a unique story, no doubt, and one that I think you'll find very, very compelling. I know I did. Art Dealer Diaries Podcast number 261 with Teal Blake.
