Video Notes #2

New York Close Up Notes

  • Enterprise in solitude
  • Hard to do something that is not justified in anything
  • Indulgent about painting
  • Unique mark making
  • Inspired by the city
    • Doesn't realize it
  • Hiding and exposing
  • She doesn't seem like that confident of an artist
  • Her work space seems fairly large and full of materials and art books
  • Has a view of Manhattan from her window
In this piece that she did I like the soft color tones and slow fade. The sharp angles and soft circles juxtaposed on each other also make it beautiful. Most of her work seems to be in large scale and this could be because she has a large space to work with which also makes me think that if I worked in a larger room would my work be larger? I doubt it but it's and interesting concept.

Artist Chuck Close Notes To Self

  • He had a monkey!
  • Don't look at parameters that don't apply
  • Portraits
  • Inspiration is for amateurs
  • Process
  • Uses is disabilities
  • No one gets anywhere without help
    • Everyone needs to feel special
  • Can get past difficulties
  • Break down a huge problem
  • Someone worse off than you

In the short show we were quickly able to see a painting move from an erect position to a sideways position by a machine (that I assume was holding it from party behind). He uses these types of machines to make up for his disabilities but he also uses his disabilities for inspiration for his art work. His art space was also "his" in a way that it fit him like a mold; everything had to placed in specific places and heights, because there is only so much that he can access.
