TLPP: Painter Kendric Tonn - Selfie in Oil Paint
Kendric Tonn is a painter. He paints. Not houses. Oil painting. On this episode of The Lou Perez Podcast I talk with Kendric about classical painting, Florence (the city, not my mother), El Museo del Prado, art collecting, and how he sees the world as a painter vs how I see the world as a comedian. Kendric gives a helpful tip on how to appreciate a Mark Rothko painting: Understand them, in a sense, as landscapes that you can project yourself into. You can experience Rothkos as emotional landscapes. And it turns out you don’t need to be a millionaire to start collecting art. Kendric offers some great advice on how to get started. (It also works as really good dating advice.) If you’d like to buy Kendric’s work, reach out to him.
