John Murray classes week of Feb 4, 2013

As Roberta Smith said about Outsider Art; "...with irrefutable proof that the most lasting work comes from unstoppable emotional necessity, an especially useful lesson for the moment."

How do you feel about your own work?
Next week let's try a piece that touches on a deep emotional issue for you.
It can be a painful way to work and in some ways negates my "painting is about paint" theses.

Of course it has to be about the plasticity and sense of the artist's hand (or the denial of that sense if you feel ironic about your emotional content and want a cooler feel).

See you next week, john.
