COPIES: ANALYSIS AND VARIATION
WITH CATHERINE KEHOE Sunday, June 5, 2016, 7-8 p.m. Monday, June 6, 10-5 Tuesday, June 7, 10-5 Wednesday, June 8, 10-5
We undertake analysis of works of art, not because we mean to copy them, but in order to set ourselves in motion. — Paul Klee Complex paintings from art history will be the jumping-off place for exploration of pictorial structure and invention. Mediums will include graphite, charcoal, collage, acrylic and/or oil paint. Each participant will look deeply at one or two images and generate permutations through simplification and abstraction. We will work from reproductions of paintings from the 14th through the 18th centuries. This rigorous and wide-ranging analysis of images from our painting ancestors will feed our own work and imagination as we engage with images that speak to us still. Recommended: start with one image that you would like to work with, in various media. Bring a few extra images (postcards, printouts from online, etc.) in case you exhaust the possibilities or your interest in the first image. (collage image by Kathy Rubado)
