Thank you for attending my lectures on the Art of the Seventies and the Whitney Biennial at the New Art Center over the last three weeks.
Next week let's stay with visions of the figure.
The performance artists who visited us on Wednesday of last week were inspirational in terms of movement and placement.
Try a piece that uses aspects of the human figure in an atonal composition i.e, odd position and fragmentation.
We will have a model for all classes the following week the 19th.
Also consider my workshop at Montserrat College of Art in June.
See you next week, John.

John Murray, born in Boston in 1942, has lived in Los
Angeles, Provincetown and Boston. For more than 40 years he has explored his
bleak/sensual aesthetic through paints and mediums of all descriptions, as well
as printmaking and assemblages. He studied at the School of the Museum of Fine
Art, Boston, and exhibits widely throughout the North East. jmurrayart.com
This summer, he will be teaching a Summer Immersive course through our Continuing Education Department:
Supercharged Painting
Instructor: John Murray
June 16 – 20 | Mon. – Fri. | 9am – 4pm
This course begins with the notion that Jackson Pollock liberated painting and takes off from there. Students will investigate various painting media including acrylic, glazes, pigments, and collage. Both figurative and abstract approaches are encouraged in this energetic class with an emphasis on Post Modern plasticity and visual language.
