Artnet: Thomas Hoving "My Eye"

A fantastic art clip on online auctions resource Artnet produced by NewArt TV's Robert Knafu featuring the infectiously enthusiastic Thomas Hoving. In this episode the former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art reviews the Ralph Albert Blakelock show at the National Academy.

I learned more about the passion for creating art in this 97 second clip than in many articles and long-winded docs elsewhere. Who knew that the often institutionalized Blakelock had to resort to cutting his own hair to make brushes!! Hoving is a natural, a true discovery as a host and interpreter of the arts to a mainstream audience. Deserving of a very large audience.
