MARCH ART CHAT Bay Area Figurative School (Painting)

Checking in. Hoping to be awake for the chat.



zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Looking forward to the discussion. Good choice.

Me too. I think there were a few more painters included in the group. I don't see James Weeks mentioned and I think he was. Couldn't find much on internet about him. Also didn't find much in the way of images by Nathan Oliviera. May hunt again tomorrow.

I am having trouble getting into the chat room; there is some a2k function problem. If worse comes to worse, we'll talk next week...but I am going to keep trying to get into the chat room every fifteen minutes or so.

You are not alone I could not get in either.

Ah, well, it's a good subject, and we have more sundays...

i tried 2x. i think i'll revert to my more natural mode (sleep) soon. cya next week?

See you next week. I think in the meantime I will try to hunt up more images..

I've been down. Finally hired a "computer nerd" to get my computer started up again. Frankly (and without any feelings of guilt), I'm glad you guys couldn't get into the chat room last Sunday, if that means that we'll retain the topic for this coming Sunday. The Bay Area abstract expressionists (both the abstract and figurative modes) are among my favorites. So, I hope we'll stick to the topic. Can't tell you how much I missed the discussions. There's a degree of healthy addiction here. I'm addicted to having to think, debate, and otherwise commune with intelligent and civilized people.

Accccccck, jl, glad to see you, and I'm sure I speak for more than myself.

I just got back from Sacramento, another story. But this subject could go on. Myself, I sort of always liked Bishof but now.... more info, I like him more. Well, glancingly. But this kind of work is vastly drenchingly exhaustingly attractive to me....I have sort of followed Park but not so many others and there is much to learn.......

By the way Cyber Art Folks sorry about sending reminders for Sunday's Art Chat so early but I thought it was the best way to let y'all know A2k was back up and that the chat room is working again.

Cyber Art Salon Chat tonight, 8:00 p.m. EST

Joanne, thanks for the reminder. I thought today was Saturday.

It's that time of the week again for lively and interesting discussion about art. Tomorrow, Sunday, 3/23/03, 8:0. EST. We will have to choose or at least discuss a new topic for 0 p.mApril - spring at last, spring at last.

Tomorrow, Sunday, 3/30, same place same time. And we need to pick a topic for April.

How about that guy you mentioned before, was it Robert Arneson? Or a couple of artists? Hmm, maybe art about war?
See ya manana.

What about changing ideological trends in art during times of depression and war as a topic?

Good idea colorific since this war is doom a gloom it is going to cause a lot of new trends I am sure. And perhaps the destruction of untold art treasures may be caused by bombing and battles in this historic area. Some times it is hard to believe what I hear or read in the news when the mention the Tigress and Euphrates rivers in the same sentence with death and GPS positioning.

We could blend in or use as a starting point Rober Arneson's sculpture since much of it is anti war, anti Vietnam war.

Robert Arneson (1930-1992) American

War face:



Global Death and Destruction, by Robert Arneson, arouses a pathos that is immediate and chilling.

Yikes that war face is way big, hope it does not cause trouble loading. But you do see the details
