Guggenheim Museum and the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Museum, yet his career was never built around chasing trends, market demands, or recognition.\nInstead, Vincent devoted himself to a different pursuit: making the strongest work he was capable of making.\nIn this deep dive, Vincent shares why pursuing recognition can pull artists away from their best work, how he built a career without compromising his standards, and what he learned after achieving the success that many artists spend years chasing.\n“Enough people every day sell themselves out. They do exactly what will make them rich. I wouldn't jeopardize my one chance to actually do the best I can be as an artist.”— Vincent Desiderio\nTimestamps:00:00 Introduction \n01:50 Cockaigne: Art History as Self-Portrait \n04:48 Painting Against the Culture of Speed \n09:21 Dead White: When a Painting Finds Itself \n11:15 Breaking Into the Art World \n13:48 Advice for Artists at Any Stage \n17:06 Theseus: When the Concept Evolves \n19:51 Closing Thoughts\nConnect with VincentWebsite: https://www.vincent-desiderio.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vincent_desiderio/\nLearn more about The Professional Artist Association:\nMentoring:Apply to join 99 artists for unlimited 1:1 Coaching & Mentoring to grow your art...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1w06IKct0FZ59SGs6Y8H5DQOlgFvyRf7GbYr1lhEpu0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yYjgx/ZjQ3MjE4YjdhNDFi/OGE2ODg0NDY2ZDdi/ODI0MS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
