The Most Famous Drawing Artists Today: A Reasoned Top 10 Using Objective Career Facts

Thank you so much for tuning in today. Our CAI Patreons can find a PDF version of this video and feel free to suggest what list we should make next. Chat soon!

Identity = YAWN!

To follow up my previous comment calling into question all of these artists as not particularly skilled, I will add one more big criticism. And this criticism is more about all the curators and venues that promote and subscribe to these brands of imagery. By now we could all easily predict what sort of artists and images check off enough boxes in our society's fake issues and mostly far-Left fabrications to create plenty of unwarranted attention, fame, and fortune. And by checking those boxes I am referring to the many boxes characterized by Political Correctness. Galleries and even museums just plod along with their usual ploys of reflecting extreme minority topics and causes uninteresting and unimportant to the vast majority of gallery and museum goers. This is all so obvious that I won't bother pointing out particular examples; this video is chock full of them.

Where is Robert Longo?

Yes! Pastels deserved the mention. There is a expression that can not be found elsewhere. The medium goes directly to the mind. Sadly it lacks the sheen and brilliance of oil work.

Incredibism conveys philosophy as a new concept technique for a new era. I hope all artists, scientists, writers, and all professions will focus on finding novelty and become innovative like Incredibism.

Hi,
Any paintings svailable on paper

Thanks

Don't know how Laurie Lipton wasn't on this list....so underrated... by far one of the most talented drawing artists active today.

Very good video

Received honors in drawing at SFAI by Bruce MaGaw (Bay Area Abstract Figurative) student of Richard Diebenkorn. He rightly recognized my love of drawing. There was a saying going around SFAI at that time (1976) that, drawing was the same as painting. That struck me and after all these years still have it in mind. I see it yet battle with it so strong is my love for drawing.

Thank you for another great video, for me drawing and printmaking are the most compelling disciplines in art so this was definitely a treat! Of these artists I was only familiar with Andrea Bowers and William Kentridge… and I had only recently became aware of their work, so I can’t wait to do some more research and exploration into the artists you have introduced in this video!

My 9yr old son has a gifted talant for sketching which include drawing objects, characters, perspective etc. What can I do to get him recognised?

your assistant just kept getting closer and closer

Diane Victor

Absolutely no mention of Robyn O'Neil??? BY FAR THE GREATEST LARGE SCALE DRAWINGS EVER MADE!

Love the dog!

Your #1 is on point!

Not really enjoyable tot look at

Wow - I didn't like any of them.

too technical.

Saw nothing enjoyable about the art/drawings. With 10 artists one should have impressed me. None did. And these are the top 10?

Henry Tonks and Alfred Munnings muat be turning in their graves, I'm surprised you didn't include Emin and the trash she draws.

top ten favourites, heaven help us. no really decent draftspeople here, and a load of psychobabble to justify your list.

This was really terrific! Thank you!

The trouble with your speetches is that I fall mesmerized with your way to express things and I do not understand things! Lol, lol, ja, ja, ja! I'm joking! With a little effort I understand everithing, yes. Thank Gods!

I won't go on like I often do with a fuller explanation, but will simply say that none of these artists strike me as particularly good draftsmen or very talented. They all fall into the category of replicating the "look" that is apparently acceptable to many modern galleries. In my view, standards have fallen by the wayside, classical or excellent training is out, and there is a great paucity of real talent that could stand side by side with actual past masters. When standards change for the worse, this is what you get.

Great video. Some new names to me so I will enjoy finding out more about their work. Many thanks.

You must be kidding. With all the talented artists out there today, you chose this bunch of pretenders. This is crap. A child could do better. Weird is not the same as good.

Unbelievable work!

Paula Rego?

Ok mais je n ose même plus dessiner: car si j ai perdu la concentration nécessaire à la lecture … je ne peux pas supporter de perdre le dessin complètement , du coup j évite de dessiner…!!!c idiot mais j attends un peu de pouvoir y arriver

Yoshitaka Amano, Katsuya Terada and Kim Jun Gi

Don’t say, “ mark making”

Where’s Laurie Lipton? She should be somewhere at the the top.

There’s something ridiculous about choosing Anni Albers who true was importance was in fabric design and not for instance Freud who was far better at drawing, prints, and painting. And both he, de Kooning, David Hockney, and Jasper Johns were born after 1899. Can you compare either his beginning or current drawings to Anni Albers. I can think of dozens of others like Agnes Martin. I own Kentridge print but first?

Raymond Pettibon?

The Best drawing artist is that beauty Dog.

i have 100 year old original painting of lankalot speed with original signature and now want to sell that painting plz contact me in comment form india

Yes to William Kentridge whose explorations in hand drawn animation go beyond conventions of the medium and brings animation into the realm of live theatre performance.

Nice. Could you please comment on the work of Jona Dry?

Thank you for another great video, and thank your dog as well.

William FUCKING Kentridge!!
In fact, all the elections were awesome. Love your channel.

I fully agree with making William Kentridge as your #1. However, Jim Dine, is certainly more famous than, and of at least (if not higher than) equal stature to a number of others you placed on your list!

I needed this, given I spend hours every day drawing. Excellent in scope and production. Thank you.
