The Mystery of Picasso - post due 7/31

Because today we discussed the idea (difficulty, reluctance, reward) of overpainting, changing and repainting your paintings, I've included here some clips from a well-known film documenting Picasso's painting process.

"The Mystery of Picasso (French: Le mystère Picasso) is a 1956 French documentary film about the painter Pablo Picasso, directed byHenri-Georges Clouzot, and showing Picasso in the act of creating paintings for the camera. Most of the paintings were subsequently destroyed so that they would only exist on film, though some may have survived.^{[1]"  -Wikipedia}

*#4 and #5 should be on panel or canvas, and should be 75% done by class time Monday so they can be finished for crit at the end of class.

Dexter Dalwood discusses his paintings

David Hockney and Why We Take Photos

In preparation for the landscape studies we'll make Thursday, please look at the work of David Hockney and watch this video (click). Note his use of saturated, exaggerated, or non-local color. Hockney has recently incorporated the use of a digital tablet to make studies for painting - if you have one you can do this on Thursday also.

Also posted below, a portion of Susan Sontag's well-known book "On Photography".
