painterdog - maybe cuz basquiat likes german expressionism - just like oh, say, a few rock stars I mentioned.
SOmeone here mentioned that the amount of paint you apply to the canvas or how quickly you apply it does/does not "express" (scare quotes are great huh?) something more/less.
Karel Appel used to "Paint like a barbarian in a barbaric age" to an avant guard jazz soundtrack.
My argument is that Molly Hatchet album covers, for some people, are just as expressive as german expressionism.
Dilema, horns, beg the question, dig it. Billy Childish anyone?
But I do like this painting more than Frazetta, if anyone is asking. I think it is more expressive in hte sense of Kantian esthetics where its all in your mind or whatever.
the world is a vampire, sent to drain secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames and what do I get, for my pain betrayed desires, and a piece of the game even though I know-I suppose I'll show all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Re: "Hes obviously fascinated by [and] exploring this specific aesthetic."
Meese: The artist is not obligated to do anything; it cannot be forced. The artist is a wanderer, juggler, hobgoblin, a tyrant of the matter, natural and political philosopher. An artist must inevitably survive in every medium. The artist is unpredictable and outlawed.
You are what you eat. I think Jonathan Meese is a Nazi, and should be prosecuted under German law as such. John Bock too.
"The court, called the Bundesgerichtshof, issued a ruling on Tuesday that overturned a lower court ruling, and found that German law applies even to foreigners who post content on the Web in other countries -- so long as that content can be accessed by people inside of Germany.
Specifically, the court found Australian Holocaust-denier Frederick Töben guilty of spreading "Auschwitz lies."
Baby your a lost cause...When Beck did Sea Changes it was through Gordon Lightfoot's influence not a period re-creation---it's just so close this painting..it's good painting...I don't know anymore...the Saatchi promo sounds interesting, but in my opinion it's not in the work, I wish more of it was... visually. Guston plugs in much better to the promo
Picasso, Beckmann, Anselm, Julian, Basquiat...and a dash of Ofilli. I imagine if there were a ton of these packed into a gallery it would resonate...but the lone jpeg? This work speaks to me of Picasso...that touch is genius, the sensibility, unerring taste, that sensitive, inevitable painterly touch. The historical style previously a deconstruction pose now seems to be a way to offer up nice painterly moments?
I was talking to a friend about celebrities and she said that one day she was on the elevator of her building with her friend and the door opens and who should get on but Sean Connery. She said that their mouths both dropped open and they kinda fell against the back of the elevator at his presence. He pushed the button for his floor, smiled just like james Bond at them and said "Ladies Lingerie?"
Maybe grace can be learned in painting... look at Mr. Alex Katz... those fifties, early sixties works are hideous...he more than anyone else exemplifies dogged determination to be important. His clear self criticism allowed him to filter out gradually all that was in his way. Not one natural gift, seemingly. Good taste mixed with an athletes model of performance. That said...I imagine Katz could have delivered the elavator line well, while he was making those fifties paintings... so maybe he always had it.
i am scared of everything on that site done with "Oil and Inkjet Print" it is y people hate digital Art, ick. makes me think that the "style" of his paintings is a mask for a lack of content much unlike Jean-Michel Basquiat
Erica burned wassup rockers for me--so Im going to stay up late tonight and watch it.
14 yr old kid, was in my daughters class last year, gunned down in oakland 2 weeks ago. Shot 3 times in the back as he ran for his life the paper said. Case of mistaken identity. Heartbreaker.
Kalm James I can think of quite a few Americans currently reheating Ab Ex leftovers which passed their sell-by date a while ago. I'm especially baffled by the chicks who think inhabiting a corpse is macho. But I guess there is a good argument for necrophilia in art. A dead body is the only body you can be alone with.
Wassup rockers is sort of like Art School Confidential - episodic but nice episodes. No filler like in hollywood. The cop busting the kids coulda been tighter but it looks natural, so its cool.
The backyard parties are good - the "fashion world" hipsters are pretty on.
In Child of God it is depicted as erotic for imbecilic half-wits. But I guess dead skin is still skin. I have cultural not biological loyalties and I have no real reason not to state the obvious.
Yeah you stated the obvious--in rhyme. Amy Silliman. Whoooo there. I said it.
What is worth reviving from AE is the spontaneous process. And the search for freedom. That still means something to me. After all the rhymes are rhymed. And all the history is written. And all the corpses have risen.
Some of these zombies want to drag the living into the crypt of bigoted Roussean cultural feminism to dwell with them. Maybe there is no more blood to suck from Pollack. Or the blood alcohol content is too high.
leo koenig? so its the baselitz connection - maybe a genuine enjoyment, keeping the blood line going. What content am i missing? they read as very cliche?
it seems like such a current and easy up to date thing to say somethings been done... thats been done to death - no risk in saying that, plus you sound like you know what your talking about.. If so many people have it figured out then show me what we're all missing.. I guarantee it only takes one person to revive something in the right way and we will always be biting our toungues in the art world..
I like the social "Jean Jaques" Contract angle - if you look at the Zardoz reference - its the classic ubermench/pocket calculator-with-a-heart thing - he who must make a beast of himself is still a man, even though he maketh like unto a beast.
The Nazis were different than you or I, being demons posessed by evil. Theres a movie called "The Keep" I think that explains that whole mythic dealio. Thats why we must agree to the Homeland Security measures and nail crucifixes to our doors, walls, and eyes.
Rousseau said we must give up some freedom to the buraucracy in order to have benefits like checking accounts, which are important because you dont want your money stolen.
Thats what the social contract does for you.

We've all been used.
ReplyDeleteAnd reused.
And abused.
And amused!
We want to do die.
What's the trick?
paint like an egytian, walk like a german, or is that the other way around?
ReplyDeleteThe trick is grace. I dont know I dont have it.
