John Murray classes week of Sept. 19, 2011



Supercharged Painting New Art Center and deCordova Museum School, Acrylic and Oil Workshop and Postmodern Assemblage at New Art Center and Painting in the Abstract at the Newton JCC:



MOMA is having a de Kooning retrospective that opens this Sunday, if you are in New York or have a chance to get there don't miss it~!



On the 27th I am giving a talk and discussion at 1:30 at the Newton JCC "Manet to Matisse: Painting's Leap of Imagination" and the following week on the 27th at 1:30 also at the JCC I'm doing "Isolation as an Art Strategy" the work of Micheal Heizer, Jan Bas Ader and Ray Johnson. I hope you are able to attend and participate.



Anyone coming to any class for the first time please check the supply list and bring enough paint and canvas to work. I would like to see a response to de Kooning's deconstruction and disembowlment of the figure and/or a landscape that has been ravaged and distilled as he did in his Long Island paintings such as the red and purple painting at the top of this blog, "...Whose Name was Writ in Water". Thank you for your interest in and support of my classes. See you next week. john.
