His brushstrokes and facture relate directly to ambition is to engage a much more current moment in the Post-War painting especially as practiced by John history of painting, namely the New York School, its Graham and Nicolas de Stael. While this movement is antecedents and aftershocks, especially as it relates to the usually associated with abstraction, Fertig prefers to figurative tradition. look at the figurative impulse within it. From his swirling impasto and scumbling emerge entirely convincing His use of ships and soldiers as subject matter stems illusions of space and figures, much like Fertig's mentor, from his deep interest in the period about which he is a Robert Kulicke. Furthermore, Fertig does not dismiss self-taught authority. Fertig’s curiosity about the late illustration art (he adored Treasure Island as a child) th 18 Century affairs of Europe and North America has led and as his titles suggest, he does want to tell a story, or him to read primary sources about the armies and at least suggest one. Fertig's work conveys what he navies of the time such as the proceedings of inquests into imagines actually happened. In this regard, Fe1tig should the loss of vessels made by the British Admiralty and be grouped with his friend Robert Andrew Parker, as the personal correspondence of field marshals.

  • Lennart Anderson
    Interview with Lennart Anderson December 6, 2002 How did you become a painter? I guess I never entertained any other thought, other than fleeting hopes that I could be a major-league baseball player. Other than that, I never had any ambitions of doing anything else, since I was seven or eight years old. I was a fanatic. I've been a fanatic all my life about it. And it doesn't make it any easier to paint, either. I think a lot of people paint a lot more than I do. I got my mother to take me to the Detroit Museum on a Sunday afternoon. It was a long walk to get there, and after it was over, she said, "You'll have to go on your own from now on. I can't do this." I went there almost every Sunday afternoon. Many, many Sunday afternoons I spent at the Detroit Museum. I was there on Pearl Harbor Day. That's where I heard about it. I was thirteen years old then. Were there paintings there that made a particular impression on you? Anything that was painted interested me. It could be the stupidest calendar art. If it was put down with paint, I would cross the street to see it. In a paint store - and I mean a house paint store, if there was a picture in the window, I would cross the street to see it. I loved all kinds of pictures. I was interested in American painting, because the Detroit Museum had a lot of American painting.

An advocate of contemporary movements such as conceptualism, land art, happenings, Fluxus and performance, and of artists such as Joseph Beuys, Richard Serra, Cy Twombly and Mario Merz, Szeemann developed a new form of exhibition-making that centered on close collaborative relationships with artists and a sweeping global vision of contemporary visual culture. He organized vast international surveys such as documenta 5; retrospectives of individual artists including Sigmar Polke, Bruce Nauman, Wolfgang Laib, James Ensor, and Eugène Delacroix; and thematic exhibitions on such provocative topics as utopia, disaster, and the "Plateau of Humankind." Szeemann's papers thoroughly document his curatorial practice, including preliminary notes for many projects, written descriptions and proposals for exhibitions, installation sketches, photographic documentation, research files, and extensive correspondence with colleagues, artists and collaborators.

Agradezco a la Fundación Roy Lichtenstein el envío de documentación sobre sus joyas ya catalogadas. A propósito del estudio de caso sobre Onno Boekhoudt (1944-2002), debo agradecer al Museo CODA de Apeldoorn, Holanda, donde está depositado un inmenso archivo sobre su obra, entre notas, documentos escritos y piezas. Han funcionado como identificaciones- interpretaciones de las intenciones de Boekhoudt. Los contactos para investigar en este museo se los debo a Liesbeth den Besten, historiadora de joyería contemporánea. También cabe destacar una colaboración realmente importante, la de Joke Brakman, joyera y colega de Boekhoudt en la academia Gerrit Rietveld. Boekhoudt escribía en holandés, alemán e inglés. A veces en las mismas notas constaba en las tres lenguas. Mi colega Dirk Loyens, a veces dejando de lado la escritura de su tesis, ha hecho traducciones del holandés y alemán al portugués. Manuel Vilhena también colaboró, enviando textos sobre Boekhoudt. Joke Brakman se ha convertido en una gran amiga.
