SCHEDULE AND CONTENT:
We undertake analysis of works of art, not because we mean to copy them, but in order to set ourselves in motion. — Paul Klee
Address yourselves to the masters. Speak to them, they will answer you, for they are still living. It is they who will instruct you. — Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres
May 21 — May 23, 2021. THE HEAD EXAMINED
Portraits from the international collections will be the point of departure for study of pictorial structure and invention with a focus on the head. We will work from reproductions paintings from art history. You may work from postcards, photocopies from books, or images on your devices (tablet or laptop).
May 28 — May 30, 2021. STILL LIFE
Still life paintings from international museum collections will be the point of departure for study of pictorial structure and analysis, with a focus on the still life. We will work from reproductions of paintings from art history. You may work from postcards, photocopies from books, or images on your devices (tablet or laptop).
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. This rigorous and wide-ranging analysis of images from our painting ancestors will feed our own work and imaginations as we engage with images that speak to us still. Some names to research: de Heem, Willem Kalf, Chardin, Willem Claesz Heda, Clara Peeters, Cotan, Melendez, Juan de Espinosa.
