I Make Picture: Herbie & Dorothy
http://imakepicture.blogspot.com/2011/02/herbie-dorothy.html
Friday, February 4, 2011. Herbert and Dorothy Vogel, subjects of the recent documentary Herb and Dorothy. Most endearing to me about Herb and Dorothy Vogel's contribution to the art world is the fact that they built close relationships with the artists (even negotiating an exchange with Christo and Jeanne-Claude that won them a work of art for cat-sitting! Below is a trailer of Herb and Dorothy, along with a few images of pieces from their impressive collection and some photos of the couple themselves.

I Make Picture: November 2009
http://imakepicture.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 13, 2009. Separate but Equal: "I Feel Different" @ Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. So much significant art has been born from its creators' inherent feelings of separation. This disconnect could be physical as in racial ( Betye Saar. Or sexual/gender separation ( Catherine Opie. Or more emotional as in the isolation of loneliness or mental disorders ( Edward Hopper. Tackles the topic of sex in art specifically in terms of its perceptions and tendency to cause misunderstanding.

I Make Picture: August 2010
http://imakepicture.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 30, 2010. Art History 101: Leonora Carrington. My older, much cooler sister Jessica has long been singing the praises of British-born, now Mexico-based Surrealist artist Leonora Carrington. Perhaps this is why on a recent trip to the local bookstore a short novel by the 93 year old particularly caught my interest. I knew Carrington created curious and fascinating paintings full of fantasy, but literature was well? The book is both brilliant and relevant. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

I Make Picture: Iconography of Melancholia: Eva Hesse & Mark Manders @ UCLA Hammer Museum
http://imakepicture.blogspot.com/2010/10/iconography-of-melancholia-eva-hesse.html
Saturday, October 2, 2010. Iconography of Melancholia: Eva Hesse and Mark Manders @ UCLA Hammer Museum. But this exhibition makes viewers aware of the evolution her body of work takes throughout her young life (she died at only 34). One thing that doesn't seem to change much as her media moves from 2-dimensional to 3-dimensional and from figurative to non-representational is a sense of sobriety and melancholy. The colors are somber: rusty red, icy grey, ocher, and black. In addition, the works are pa...

I Make Picture: June 2010
http://imakepicture.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 14, 2010. Robert and Patti: Mutual Muses. Having just completed Patti Smith's Just Kids. A memoir specifically highlighting her friendship, romance, and working relationship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, what was most compelling to learn was not only the talent of these two as artists during a pivotal time in history (New York City in the 1960s and 1970s) but their significant influence on each other's work. Wednesday, June 9, 2010. These are a few of my favorite things. 7) oh yeah,...

I Make Picture: December 2009
http://imakepicture.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 3, 2009. Assignment #9: Through the Looking Glass. Because our latest featured artist, Susan Silton, is also among the group of artists in our most recently featured exhibition, "I Feel Different" at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, we at I Make Picture thought we'd kill two birds with one stone to create an assignment that relates to both trademarks of Susan's work as well as the broad theme of the LACE show. Susan and I decided on a fitting assignment. With my Polaroid SX-70.

I Make Picture: September 2009
http://imakepicture.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 6, 2009. Assignment #8: I Make Monster. Remember that childhood game in which you (along with a small group of people) create a strange, fantastical figure by drawing a succession of body parts from top to bottom, each created by the person before who folds the drawing, segment by segment, so your creature remains a mystery to all until the end? It's all up to your imagination. Actually dates back to the Dada and Surrealist periods of art, and has been played by the likes of Andre Breton.
