    Jamie Wyeth was the third generation artist in a family who was known for having artists. There is over 100 pieces done by Jamie in this museum. These pieces contained artwork showing off paintings of others, paintings of the landscape in which Jamie was living at the time and just random object he wanted to paint. Many of his paintings you could see the brushwork, which can be seen as a characteristic of his style of painting. He would paint on almost anything, from canvases to paper. The oddest thing he did a painting on was just regular old cardboard. I find it weird that you could just paint on a piece of cardboard and it becomes famous and is put into a…

    Warhol: the Flatness of Fame

    • 2586 Words
    • 11 Pages

    THANK YOU all for being here this brisk March afternoon. I’d like to thank the GRAM for the invitation to speak in conjunction with such a wonderful exhibition, and especially Jean Boot for all of her diligent coordination on my behalf. (There are 3 parts to my presentation. First, a virtual tutorial on the process of screen-printing; secondly, a discussion of the formal and conceptual potential inherent to printmaking, and the way in which Warhol expertly exploited that potential. Finally, I will conclude with an actual demonstration of screen-printing in the Museum’s basement studio.) In coming weeks, you’ll have an opportunity to hear much more about the cultural-historical context for Andy Warhol’s work from two exceptional area scholars, beginning next Friday evening with a lecture by my colleague at GV, Dr. Kirsten Strom, and on _______ Susan Eberle of Kendall College of Art & Design. As Jean indicated in her introduction, I teach drawing and printmaking at GVSU. In other words, I’m approaching Warhol’s work very much as a studio artist. As a printmaker in particular, I’m predisposed to note the large degree (great extent?) to which the innate characteristics of the medium – in this case screen-printing - enable and inform the meaning of Warhol’s work. At the outset of each printmaking course I teach at Grand Valley, I provide students a brief overview of the social history of the print; I divulge its rich heritage in the service of dispensing and preserving our (collected cultural discourse, from…) verbal and pictorial languages, knowledge and history, cultural discourse, from ancient scripture to textile design to political critique. In addition I cite the formal qualities specific to the print – multiplicity, mutability, and its recombinant capabilities. I open with this background as a means of framing the work students will produce in the course. I’d like to provide a similar overview here, as a means of framing the work of Warhol, which is so richly…
