most interesting thing about the artist:
Julian Schnabel's talk was interesting. I felt that the interviewer was leading Schnabel to talk about things that Schnabel wasn't interested in. The interviewer was also very dry and not really understanding of Schnabel. Schnabel was lighthearted and wearing pajamas for his interview. It was really enjoyable and the relation to Picasso seemed far off at first but there is a clear relation between them. most interesting quote:
"art is about travel; time travel." Schnabel was explaining how paintings show a length of time. Schnabel compares paintings and art to diary entries. There is a life in each painting and a personal history. He thinks that art history is interesting beacuse people want to know about the lives of the artist at the time. Art is about time travel in this way. The want to understand the history of each piece is wanting to travel through time to understand where the diary entry started. Artists also have to travel in time to create each piece. I also just think Schnabel is awesome for saying art is about time travel.
three words:
History, sarcastic, innovated
most compelling work:
I really enjoyed Schnabel's work. I liked the range of his pieces from plate paintings to paintings on velvet to feature films. I liked his reasons for making work. He was interested in seeing something that he hadn't seen before. He wanted to make work unlike anything he had seen before. So he experimented with work on velvet and work with broken plates. He was highly interested in process. This relates to my work. I want to show process and in the importance of process. He also made things based on creating something new. This was my basis on making work with cutouts. I want to try and create something new.
