What’s going on with Brice Marden?
I mean he’s one of my favorite artists but this is a little much with the paper towel commercial, real estate article, radio show and even his picture on the busses. The Times review was called “The Man Who Persevered When Painting Was Stalled”
The man? what about the rest of the world painting away in closets and garages while Brice enjoyed the success that only a blank canvas can garner.
Maybe its just my never wanting in to any club that would have me as a member syndrome. Indy this and indy that, sellouts and holdouts and guilty pleasures.
I watched “Flags of our Fathers” as Clint showed me how heroes are made and necessary to fuel the war effort. Do we need an art hero? To what end? Who is behind this effort and why?
