You so funny Painter. Wonder if she has 2 children? Did she ever battle a cobra? All that and more Id say. She'd eat zip alive.
I understand her a lot better than the German lady with the old fashioned hairdo.
I think Andy Warhol said it all about these people. Nobody has ever mocked them while taking their money at the same time, and got away with it so clean. Viva Andy and keep trying Clemente. Lose the sympathy for one thing Francesco. They dont deserve it.
o, Jean McCusker! ok can't resist. is it me or does mary LOOK like one of these paintings! wow... i always disliked Clemente greatly until this show - now i can't get enough.
i think this show is about blowing rich people. no problem with that. what part did you like nowhere? I thought it was a very wierd swim as all the patrons were doing the schiele wiggle with the keane eyes pout. jokes aside is francesco still a saint? compositionally i guess these are problematic in their concptual implications. maybe he donated the proceeds to charity like eliasson doing vuitton.Is there anything bad about being the society painter though?, i suppose its the giddiness to these that gets odd. peace and love
i thought the compositions recalled the portraiture of some early viennese modernists by way of hagiography;thus the rather giddy elevation of the subjects to a higher position on more than one plane seemed slightly dubious or problematic
then again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87IaTD7jn8w
this would be fun to do i think,it might be part of the point of em..this doesn't seem like critique.. I like how the dress is painted and the big giant buckle braclet thing..for some reason the one below this by katharina would bore me to tears...
I agree with Nowhereman- I've never been a Clemente fan, but these paintings seem more engaging (from my west coast internet vantage point.) I'm no purist but I find his 80's,etc. inflated re-paintings of art historical references (reproductions) so facile and thin. These paintings are more like his self-portraits- in resemblance too-- -- hey, he must be one of them-- and they get to live out Their half-life as a "Clemente" too (I get a "zoo feel"- lions in cage- from the composition and contortion -latent,sexy Power!)
I don't mind the empty space, seven parts. and if we take out the minor bits, of which there are five=E you get Sven, which is pretty amazing, don't you think? Anyway Sven, Very exotic, and Beautifully painted, painted for the rich and the poor. Long time, were you working the elections?
One thing I would like to do though is sit down with a few of you and work out some specs for standardizing the eye.

do you mean the concept that the composition is "bad"?
ReplyDeleteedie sedgewick eyes? I still wont sympathize. I wont.
Margaret Keane vs. Marc Chagall?

sven - I was into the feel. It hit he sweet spot. Effective portraiture comes off as "easy".
ReplyDeleteSpot on job at capturing the very weird essence of these Artworld characters.
Sven: "Is there anything bad about being the society painter?"
ReplyDeleteNothing at all, providing you can paint like

clemente is lame
ReplyDeleteEdie Sedgwick is lamer.
interesting how clemente relates to so much of the painterly pseudo-surrealism going on right now. not really so different.. yikes.
ReplyDeletewhy do I find paintings of people so problematic-in this time,anyway
