The schuts in the MOMA is a bombastic pile of techniclor yawn. A well trained monkey could make simular, and many do. So what. Apparently her market is really hot. I don't get it but I'm sure its nice to see a female Picasso out there selling the lie that tells the lies that jack told, first. Its a quilt. A quilt of lies. MacArthur wanted to turn China into a post apocalytic hell belted by a nuclear fence. WHere would we get out shoes from?
Harry Harrison wrote an excellent novel about overpopulation called "Make Room!" which was turned into a science fiction movie in the seventies "No blade of grass" or something. I think they move people with earth movers. Its intense.
THis painting uses too much white but also, it uses purple, which is great. One thing about purple is it is hard to mix from the low grade Utecht red hue I have used in the past.
I like that green grey - it does make the painting.
I like the fact that although it is crowded (literally), the overall piece has a sense of mass and unity, even organic movement, like light glowing through tree leaves. I'd have to see it in person in order to decide if I liked the technique or not--I can't really see it too well on the screen. What's the scale?
zipthwung, I agree with you about the green-grey, but not about the white. Why do you say 'too much'? Too much is when you thwack it on every time you're perplexed, and it doesn't feel like she did that.
For good purples I've actually started using Rembrandt permanent violet--it is substantially different than trying to mix it yourself with student-grade paint.
And damn, I'm still just as POOR as I was when I was a student, but student-grade paint won't cut it any more. Life is so unfair. ;-)
i can't believe glantsman is being compared to schutz... totally weird. am i blind, or is there absolutely no relationship between the two? now, ensor i can see.
the crowd of faces painting is a popular subject in the air right about now; its interesting to see subjects float around in people's heads at the same time. I'm kinda tempted to make one... Other artist that I see similarities to in this subject:Yayoi Deki,Chris Johansen... this also reminds me a bit of Wols
Sometimes obsessiveness and repetition works in art but here it just seems like a crutch. I remember blinko's drawings at Feigen that really made me uncomfortable. These drawings with hundreds of faces were a world onto themselves. Maybe knowing that Blinko did those drawings off of his schizophrenia meds made it a little deeper for me. Here with Glantzman's paintings (that I saw online) they just don't create any intrigue and curiosity in me. It seems like she wanted to just fill up the space with a bunch of faces that look the same. It's just weird. The color does nothing for me nor the play with composition. It's like the painting I did once on weed and promised never to repeat. When you're stoned even a Doritos bag is a work of art. I haven't read an artist statement so I have no clue what this work is about. Painters shouldn't require artist statements. That goes for all painters. I never read anything by Rita Ackerman and her stuff says loads to me. These clouds of faces just go over my head.
Even artists are susceptible to the art worlds' marketing geniuses. Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz Schutz. Holy Schutz! As if her work is REALLY so fantabulous.
Q: What’s the truth of the story that you would only sell Dana Shutz’s paintings to people who said they’d donate them to a museum?
No, that’s not true. We had one show where we gave priority to people who were willing to donate work. The idea was that as soon as they donated the work, we would replace it very quickly, so they could have another one. But when things were really crazy and there were 20 famous collectors pushing for the same work, we said, “OK, who’s going to give it to the museum?” and that was who we sold it to. We’ve done it with a few artists.

Yeah it kinda sort of looks like a fibonacci pinecone peyote button flower sort of thing. Humanity is flowering like a skunk cabbage.
No white is a rule like no black.
As a rule I prefer the palette of Henri Rousseau to Marc Chagall.
I have a distrust of repetition - hit it and quit. Popa's got a brand new bag.
