Eleanor Antin:
-A Jewish feminist from California, originally from New York.
-“I’m very definitive about what I want...I’m kind of a dictator.”
-She has a love affair with the past.
-Narrative is her largest passion, loves the aspect of story.
-She “invents histories”
-She did a series on photographing a hundred boots. These are really capturing images.
-She works a lot with film and ballet. “I adore ballet in some ways....but it is a totally ridiculous art form....i love it because it’s pathetic in its way...there’s something beautiful and sad about it.”
Raymond Pettibon:
-He was in college when he was 15!
-Most of his art is actually writing.
-For the most part he has a clean craft and individuality about his work, his texts add so much to his pieces. I think his choice to use ink and the strong contrast of the black and white really aids to his work as well.
I love the mix of words and a visual, so his pieces are very appealing to me.
-Very messsssy studio.
-Eccentric
-In his cartoons he interacts with characters of the past. (like gumbi :) )
-“....i don’t feel constrained by subject matter...I welcome anything into the drawing....I feel work is best when there is no final resolution.”
Elizabeth Murray:
-“....youre mixing up the paint, it’s making something happen with a very, sort of, fluid material that is constantly somewhat out of control...harnessing it somehow...harnesses the energy of the paint...I think that is the primary thing that painting is about. “
-She has cartoony shapes, rounded and inflated. They are stuck on to each other in some wort of way. She desires to make the shapes “live” together
-Uses intense color
-“....My mind letting my arm make the decision...and when you start to get the control then your feelings can start to flow....”
-She uses drawings to get her mind stimulated and to plan out before she does her final pieces.
-She describes the struggle of art in a really good way. How some days you’re so inspired, others you feel like you wanna give up. The ups and downs...
Walton Ford:
-Paints auto-bonds, birds of america, in a historical look but gives it this weird emotion
-Printmaker, paints as well,
-Turns up the irony.
-They give personification to the animals used (birds mainly, monkeys and elephants etc.).
