The artistic characteristics of the American Fall “Icon” issue are the information of 5 artists

Each issue American Art My staff and I have raised that, I remember, there are as many ways to be an artist as there are artists, rather than when we publish the annual “icon” question, there is no more. Just like in the past few years, we chose this year’s icons to be artists whose decades of production represent a one-hearted commitment to a unique and profound personal practice.

In these pages, I was shocked by several of the icons. Paul Pfeiffer said in his early video work that he “has become very aware of the grammar of images and the ways in which people are attracted by subtle changes.” Consuelo Jimenez Underwood discovered her artistic voice in textiles: “I have to be PURO HILO [pure thread] get Viejitas [the female elders] She said. On my side. I can hear them ask, ‘What’s wrong with the thread? ‘” David Diao has spent a large part of his career referring to the work of Barnett Newman, who said: “I like the fact that he paints, it’s no doubt. That’s what needs to be done. “The late sculptor Joel Shapiro discovered that “conversion occurs” was discovered when you “actually do physical work with the wood, look at it, cut, change, change it until it somehow meets certain aspects of your unknown intentions.” (Shapiro died in June when we were dealing with this; the ideas he shared with him shortly after the passage of the writer Max Norman made his profile a suitable tribute.)

It is also worth considering the relationship between art and something bigger, with indescribable philosophical, moral and even political aspects. For Tehching Hsieh, who Emily Chun interviewed for this issue’s “Inquiry” column, art is “a part of the groundbreaking and creative part of free thinking,” but “free thinking is something everyone is doing.” He continues:[F]Rethinking means no one can stop you. It belongs only to you and no one can take it away from you. ”
