Welcome to the artists who have joined my deCordova tues. morning Supercharged painting class.All classes: please think about the abstract potential that is within the traditional landscape. Matisse's "View of Notre Dame" is an amazing example of where one can take a de-constructed vision of the commonplace. The artist filtered the view through the lens of formalism and eccentricity simultaneously and arrived at a fresh and challenging way to create a work of art. Working from a sketch or photo try this yourself.
On wed. the 27th at 7pm I will be giving a talk at the NewArt Center on the Isolated Artist, covering the work and lives of three artists: Michael Heizer, Bas Jan Ader and Ray Johnson...see you next week, john.
