I guess that means we like the Chromatic Abstract Expressionists the best. :) We found a new-ish artist we both really like. I think Nate was telling you about her. For some reason I'm drawn to the red paintings too, which is weird because I usually like really neutral tones surrounding me.Becka @Studio222 Photographyhttp://www.studio222photography.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080740644652789471.post-47700779200412655732009-09-03T19:36:59.284-07:002009-09-03T19:36:59.284-07:00I'm excited about this series...!I'm excited about this series...!Becka @Studio222 Photographyhttp://www.studio222photography.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080740644652789471.post-78474904421203211932009-08-13T10:39:42.987-07:002009-08-13T10:39:42.987-07:00I guess I felt compelled to respond to the blog po...I guess I felt compelled to respond to the blog posting as it is my personal correspondence made public. <br /><br />For the record, I have absolutely zero interest in the way the creator (notice I don't say artist) of the poster is recieved by the art community, and apparently neither does he/she. My interest is in the absurd claim that the posters motivations are racial and not political. If there is a "wolf in sheeps clothing" present within this issue, it is most certainly not stemming from the creator, but from those that disagree with the political sentiment and will resort to race-baiting tactics to shift the spectrum of the argument. When you frame the opposition as inherently evil (which is the ultimate charge of racism) you save yourself the trouble of having to intelligently consider and refute their actual point. Crying racism has unfortunately become the new example of Godwin's Law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080740644652789471.post-63210530611280566862009-08-13T08:49:37.988-07:002009-08-13T08:49:37.988-07:00http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,535608,00.html...http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,535608,00.html<br /><br />Here's the article about the NEA that I received. First, let me remind anyone who may read this that no of this funding has ACTUALLY been deligated for the performance that the article is referring to. The non-profit that received the funds clearly states that it plans to use the money for infrastructure costs and to retain employees.Matilda Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247700145925324944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080740644652789471.post-5035733224131934702009-08-13T08:40:11.051-07:002009-08-13T08:40:11.051-07:00I guess I'm going to have to reiterate the obv...I guess I'm going to have to reiterate the obvious here... This is an ART, ART HISTORY, and ART CRITICISM blog, with a touch of helpful tips about fashion (naturally!). ;) Because of this, I think it makes sense that I used an art historical perspective when discussing this work. If you give so little weight to art and the "art community," even though you seem to have a keen interest in the way the art community would receive this "artist," why are you even addressing this issue on this type of blog. Shouldn't you perhaps redirect your efforts to a political website or blog?Matilda Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247700145925324944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080740644652789471.post-20259282667066907242009-08-13T08:18:53.689-07:002009-08-13T08:18:53.689-07:00Given the afformentioned concerns the poster's...Given the afformentioned concerns the poster's creator might have for personal or professional backlash, wouldn't the more reasonable assumption be that the creator is much more concerned with getting his message across than ensuring that the poster is regarded as a significant piece of art? Given the current political climate I think that it's logical to assume that this is intended to be considered and judged as political commentary, not as art, so the creator's concerns for the very real and very possible reprocussions of identifying him/herself far outweigh the concerns over having the creation recognized as "art" by the art community. This is more along the lines of an editorial cartoon meant to provoke thought rather than a Warhol meant to be contextualized.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080740644652789471.post-76846737532036472302009-08-13T07:52:26.152-07:002009-08-13T07:52:26.152-07:00Hi everyone!

Thanks for reading and commenting, it is much appreciated!! <br /><br />Regarding the first comment, I am working to get a link to the original article that discusses NEA funding. Please remember that I only provided a cursory explanation of that topic, my main focus has been this poster. Regarding the comparison of G.W. Bush imagery; that is an interesting point! However, to understand a work you have to grasp the full, historical context as well as purely contemporary comparisons. Regardless, please remember that I don't have a problem with, or preference for, Conservative or Liberal work, my problem is that the artist of this poster isn't disclosing his intention. This alone makes me believe that there may be ill intentions at work.Matilda Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17247700145925324944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3080740644652789471.post-40015329262181540672009-08-13T07:30:59.002-07:002009-08-13T07:30:59.002-07:00Regarding the last paragraph and your response, si...Regarding the last paragraph and your response, since this is contemporary political commentary, wouldn't the more relevant historical comparisons be the recent images of G.W.
