Wolf Von Lenkiewicz

"I think language is shared through time. There is a shift definitely, but I think we can grasp it. Then we can start deconstructing their intentions by subjecting them to other intentions. I take Michaelangelo's intensions and I subject them to Warho's. At no point do I doubt that I understand their intentions. That is very strange to a post-modern way of thinking actually, which would say that we could never access the past in any real way. ... One starts realizing that artistic intention is accessessible and Roalnd Barthes is wrong"
- Wolf Von Lenkiewicz (Elephant Magazine, Winter 2010)

German Expressionism: The Graphic Impulse



German Expressionism: The Graphic Impulse
Museum of Modern Art, NY
Through July 11, 2011

"More of this work should be displayed more often, which is to say that the show’s scope reminds us of the insufficiency of the museum’s 2004 expansion. The pieces here represent just a fraction of MoMA’s holdings: There are some 3,200 German Expressionist works on paper — the vast, vast majority of them prints — in its collection.

On the other hand, the museum has announced that on Sunday, when the exhibition opens to the public (it is in members’ previews on Friday and Saturday), all 3,200 will become available for online viewing at moma.org/germanexpressionism. In addition to its own considerable merits, “German Expressionism” should provide a good grounding for a digital immersion — and spur hope for seeing more of the real things."

Robert Rauschenberg

"In 1986, he was commissioned by BMW to paint a full size BMW 635 CSi for the sixth installment of the famed BMW Art Car Project. Rauschenberg's contribution was the first to include the wheels in the project, as well as incorporating previous works of art into the design." (source: wikipedia)

Ryan Travis Christian: Black and White Freak Out

West Coast artist Ryan Travis Christian uses Graphite to achieve amazing results. Some people see a lack of color as a limitation. For Ryan it seems to be pure cosmic freedom.





More of his work here and here.
