![]() Working with Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, he devised a precise mixture of water and salt that would make the balls float in the middle of the tanks, as if suspended. In 1983, Koons began the Equilibrium series, suspending basketballs in aquarium tanks filled with water. Exhibited for the first time in the window of the New Museum in New York in 1980, they were glossy reliquaries of American consumer culture that cemented Koons’s reputation as a rigorously conceptual artist. His first major works invoked commodity fetishism: titled The New, they comprised vacuum cleaners displayed on or in Plexiglas boxes over grids of fluorescent light. Koons received a BFA from Maryland Institute of College of Art in 1976.Īfter moving to New York City in the beginning of 1977, Koons’s first job was at the Museum of Modern Art, where he worked several years until he began working as a Wall Street commodities broker to support his studio practice. Koons went to Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore and through a student mobility program studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago under Ed Paschke, whose technicolor renderings of superheroes and other pop icons were an early source of inspiration. When he was nine, his father Henry, an interior designer, placed Old Master paintings that Koons had copied in the window of his furniture store to promote his son’s artwork.

I often say that if the National Park Service wanted to use my images in their brochures or displays they would first have to agree that my images would not show what people can see by themselves in the park. ![]() After stitching, I distorted the image to enlarge the foreground rock and also to increase the height of the Watchman, the mountain peak at the center top of the image, and make it more dominant and impressive. I could not have created this image with a single capture. This photograph is a collage of three horizontal images taken with a super wide angle lens. What is it exactly? How do you use it? How far can you go with it? However, one has to know how to use this artistic license. This license consists of a large amount of freedom they can use to express themselves, to demonstrate their vision and share their emotions. Artists are granted a license to manipulate reality. The expression ‘artistic license’ says it all. In short, expecting art to faithfully duplicate reality is a misconception, a misunderstanding of the very purpose of art. Art is an artifice, an invention, the product of the imagination and the creativity of the artist. These words point to the transformation created by the artist when going from reality to art. Art is the prefix of words such as artifice or artificial. This concept is present in the word art itself. ![]() In fact, we could say that manipulation is art, or conversely, that art is manipulation. In other words, manipulation is a fundamental aspect of art. ![]() Rather, we manipulate because manipulation is how we express our artistic license. The point that I want to make is that we do not manipulate just because we feel like it. Instead, my purpose is to cover something that I did not address in my previous essay and that is the reasons whywe manipulate. The purpose of the present essay is not to go back over this subject since I covered it extensively already. The goal of that essay was to provide an answer to a question myself and other fine art photographers are asked repeatedly: do you manipulate your work? In this essay I proposed that rather than argue endlessly and often fruitlessly about why we ‘manipulate’, we could simply answer ‘yes.’ Doing so answered the question and made the point that manipulation was an essential aspect of our work. In a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions and intellect.Ī few years ago I wrote and essay titled Just Say Yes.

The sound is something between a squeak and a voiceless roar. He can still squeeze air up through his windpipe, however, and past the hole that was cut into his throat and the tracheostomy tube, in a way that makes him somewhat understood - not very, but somewhat. It’s hard to believe now, as I write this, but just two months ago, when we were allowed to roam free, when we could board planes and alight from them and wander into rental cars and check into hotels - when we could chase down and replenish the beauty and wonder our very cells need to survive - I went to Los Angeles, where I was asked this question by Val Kilmer: “Do you think South by Southwest will be canceled?” But Val Kilmer no longer sounds like Val Kilmer, the movie star of the ‘80s and ‘90s who has mostly vanished from screens. So here’s my story, “The Iceman in Winter,” read for you by Julia Whelan. I don’t know if it could change anybody from being terrified about the state of the world, but I know that it will not hurt anybody to spend a few minutes remembering that there are other ways to look at things. And so the story about Val Kilmer went from being a story about where he went and turned into a story about someone who still believes that.

The wide vacancy of the air dazed them-a glance downward made their brains reel. The hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the country folk, who caught a glimpse of them when they were high above the treetops, took it for a vision of the gods-Apollo, perhaps, with Cupid after him.Īt first there was a terror in the joy. The father-bird put on his wings, and, while the light urged them to be gone, he waited to see that all was well with Icarus, for the two could not fly hand in hand. The day came, and the fair wind that was to set them free. Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for the first time? Are birds careful? Not they! And not an idea remained in the boy’s head but the one joy of escape. ![]() “Remember,” said the father, “never to fly very low or very high, for the fogs about the earth would weigh you down, but the blaze of the sun will surely melt your feathers apart if you go too near.”įor Icarus, these cautions went in at one ear and out by the other. Without delay, he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boy Icarus and taught him carefully how to use them, bidding him beware of rash adventures among the stars. He held himself aloft, wavered this way and that with the wind, and at last, like a great fledgling, he learned to fly. When they were done, Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders, and after one or two efforts, he found that by waving his arms he could winnow the air and cleave it, as a swimmer does the sea. He fastened these together with thread, molded them in with wax, and so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird. Little by little, he gathered a store of feathers great and small. Daedalus managed to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leave the island, since every ship that came or went was well guarded by order of the King.Īt length, watching the sea gulls in the air the only creatures that were sure of liberty-he thought of a plan for himself and his young son Icarus, who was captive with him. But the King’s favor veered with the wind, and one day he had his master architect imprisoned in a tower. He once built, for King Minos of Crete, a wonderful Labyrinth of winding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around that, once inside, you could never find your way out again without a magic clue. The Lament for Icarus by Herbert Draper, 1898.Īmong all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned the secrets of the gods, none was more cunning than Daedalus. ![]() |
