In this edition of Eye on Art, Blouin ARTINFO's Matthew Drutt takes us on a tour of American sculpture and ceramicist Robert Arneson's exhibition at David Zwirner's 20th Street gallery in New York's Chelsea neighborhood.
Part four examines the career of Robert Arneson, one of the most controversial artists to come out of the San Francisco Bay area during the 1960s.
Fellow artists Jim Brady, Peter VandenBerge, Chris Unterseher, Richard Shaw, Stephen DeStaebler and others reminisce about the years they worked along side Arneson at U.C. Davis.
The Southern California art scene exploded with artistic innovation and social change post-World War II. The years 1945 to 1980 saw the creation and collapse of various art movements and shaped Southern California as a major cultural force. Laguna Art Museum continues to explore the Getty's region-wide initiative Pacific Standard Time: Art in L.A. 1945-1980 with its own permanent collection, revealing important paintings, sculptures, and often overlooked artists from the crucial post-World War II years through the tumultuous period of the 1960s and 70s.
In this video I will be discussing a brief background on Robert Arneson. Along with brief information, I have also discussed the background on each artwork that Arneson created. I have put the portraits in order from the year they were created to insure a easy way for listeners to understand the similarities between each piece. The materials used in each piece is also described in the video. Thank you and enjoy!
