Hi Michael,
I came across your work, Two Potato 2014, spray paint on canvas and I was wondering who the quote refers to? "You made a rope of words and strangled this business."
I recently read read Rape of the Masters which shows how some art historians in academia have misrepresented artwork with their words.
Is there any connection between the two? If not I'm curious to know what your work is referencing.
Best,
Emily
Yes, those darn wordsmiths -- they ruin art every time. And painters never make anything with the idea that it might at some point be described in words. (Bevilacqua hasn't been on this page in 11 years but you never know what an artist might see in the way of internet, um, verbiage.)
