John Murray classes week of May 20, 2013


This week try a piece based on a cartoon or fairy tale character.
Take a look at Paul McCarthy's "Snow White Bookends"...amazing thing...beyond our context and conception, but still based on the fairy tale truisms. When I saw this in Friday's Times I fell in love with the crazy ambition and self-indulgence of McCarthy's work!
His work is gross and clever, beautiful and ugly...I love it.
On Wednesday I (and New Art Center) have an opening at Newtv on Needham Street in Newton at 7 pm.
please come and tell me what you think of my recent paintings, 26 of them in this show.
Thank you Kathleen and Stacy for your instigation, help and consultation on this event.
See you next week. John.
