I loved that book and I think it was very influential, being one of the first series of celebrity worship fantasy series. Like this painting, it was a bunch of tableaus. I think Taschen has re-released it. <BR/><BR/>Pellaert's airbrush style seems much more interesting to me than this Mayerson, though. I bet Pierre & Gilles were influenced by it. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, if you are making icons, then this Mayerson is more like a Giotto.youth--lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766715817815803423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1149130778386644392006-05-31T22:59:00.000-04:002006-05-31T22:59:00.000-04:00There's a loving in there eyes, which is similar t...There's a loving in there eyes, which is similar to that of most thrift store paintings, the techinque may be low but the subject is high. thats interesting.<BR/><BR/>i have not been to this show but the one jpeg grabs me<BR/>" <I>But then, Warhol was always drawn to knowing (and portraying in his art) people who reveled in pushing their talents and hopes to limits unimaginable just a few years before. Above, we see Warhol on the set of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film <A HREF="http://manstouch.com/thumbs/pr1114-1d.jpg" REL="nofollow">Querelle (1982)</A>, which starred Brad Davis, an actor at least as beautiful and talented as (but also bolder than) many others in Hollywood. Fassbinder's film of Jean Genet's underground novel was a risky venture in 1982 (it still would be today), and Warhol was siding with that risk by posing with its creators (later designing a poster for the film).</I> <BR/><BR/>awe.no-where-manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420608393276593672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1149125259537698332006-05-31T21:27:00.000-04:002006-05-31T21:27:00.000-04:00Ah, this is strange because I cannot be unbiased o...Ah, this is strange because I cannot be unbiased on these.<BR/>Keith Mayerson was my teacher for a while! He was this extremely kind, laid-back weirdo who dropped way too much acid in the seventies. Looked extremely shady, a little greasy, and had a wonky speech pattern. But he was a great teacher; for his enthusiasm and encouragement especially.<BR/>He was really really into comic books. Manga especially. And all the times we talked about Tin-tin in class makes that one piece extra weird to me.<BR/>Of all my teachers, he was the most reluctant to show or talk about his work with his students. Flat out refused and it made him uncomfortable to talk about it with us.<BR/><BR/>So seeing his work pop up from time to time on the internet is always a bit of a jolt! I wonder: how can you appreciate/critique the art of someone whom you already really really like as a person, or on the opposite dislike? I can't remove my affection for this weirdo Keith Mayerson when I look at these.Tatianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00892382970597462240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1149119713479097532006-05-31T19:55:00.000-04:002006-05-31T19:55:00.000-04:00If "showing your interest" was all it took, Id be ...If "showing your interest" was all it took, Id be in bed with Clive Owen right now.youth--lesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766715817815803423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710060.post-1149118034302293612006-05-31T19:27:00.000-04:002006-05-31T19:27:00.000-04:00something is going on in the area of that guitar. ...something is going on in the area of that guitar.
