I wanted to pass along this video from Alexey Steele’s blog.
“Panel discussion featuring James Panero, Jacob Collins, Vern Swanson and Alexey Steele. Moderated by artist Jeremy Lipking. Held on April 23rd at the Portrait Society of America’s annual competition in Reston, Virginia.”
And this is Part 2 of a 7 Part series.

Though I admire Alexey’s passion and agree with his perspective, ultimately, I see the wisdom in Collins’ direction. James Panero’s insights were helpful as well – if fundamental change will be made it’ll come largely from the collectors, not the critics.
