John Murray classes week of March 21, 2011

Richard Serra drawings at the Metropolitan Museum in April.

Serra has been a gestural Minimal sculptor for the last 45 years. He has also produced many strong gritty drawings to amplify his ouvre and a show of these is opening at the Met on April 13. If you are in New York at that time try and see it. His massive sheets of propped rusted iron are amazingly expressive icons. i've shown above a drawing in oil stick and an early molten lead throw, which i believe he executed in San Francisco in the late 60's.

This is last class this term for Monday Oil and Acrylic Painting Workshop and Postmodern Assemblage. If you have work you would like critqued please bring it to class.

Supercharged Painting: Due to snow cancelation makeup on March 30, there are still 2 classes left for Wed. artists. See you next week, john.
