Artist McArthur Binion: "How can I paint without a brush?" | Louisiana Channel



”I want you to look at my painting and say: this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.” Meet one of the great personalities of contemporary art, American artist McArthur Binion, who shares his story and tells about a life in art for over 50 years.

” There are two things I'm happy about: I was born poor. And I stuttered. Challenging. Very challenging. Let's go get them.” McArthur Binion’s love for art started by chance. As a delivery boy, he was asked to drop a package at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. ”This was the first time I'd ever been in a museum. I went in, and that experience changed my life.” Binion started drawing classes and worked uninterruptedly for two years.”If you can’t talk, I became a professional listener. And then I realised: You can’t learn while you talk.”
