John Murray classes week of Dec. 12, 2011

The last week of the term!

Please bring in any work for a crit and discussion session.

I've had a great time working with all of you and I hope you come back to a class to continue your work. Art is an investigation into itself. And you have be there when it happens. Coming to class and struggling and playing is the key to making the ineffable icon.

Also anyone who wants to bring food for a small party will be my hero.

Love, john.

John Murray classes week of Dec. 5, 2011

Please see the Dec. 5 issue of the NewYorkermagazine and read the interview on page 64 with the sculptor, Carle Andre.
I've long been interested in his sculpture and the interview by Calvin Tomkins is a fascinating look into Andre's work and the strange workings of the international art world. if you can't find the piece I've made some copies you can read. I would very much like to have a discussion in class. This is the last class for deCordova supercharged painting this term, I hope you found it a stimulating experience. Please bring a few paintings that you did in class for a critque and discussion of the work and the experience.

see you next week, john.
