John Murray classes week of Nov. 8, 2010

All classes:
Consider the psycholgical evidence
available to you in your work.
Not in content, but in the process of painting, drawing and assembling the work.
Witness this great Matisse picture, Portrait of Olga Merson from 1911:
here Matisse used layering, scraping, scumbling and bold line to reveal his
mental state and feelings about the subject, a woman with whom he had been in difficult relationship.
Try a work yourself, any subject or an abstraction and stay aware of the medium as language and signifier.
See you next week, john.
