The boys are joined by friend, artist, writer and co-host of the Break the Rules Podcast Gio Pennacchietti to discuss PAINTING. Painting, so much and so little to say. Its history, its dreary present. The tendency towards what Dean Kissick calls "zombie figuration" and what separates the brilliance of Matthew Barney from the average new media artist. But mostly, we discuss four artists to emerge out of postmodernism or later that we believe are upholding some nobler archetype of the painter historically: Anselm Kiefer, Justin Mortimer, Martin Kippenberger, and Michael Krebber.
