John Baldassari

This guy was interesting since he used humor to portray art in a very moving way. As you can see this photograph simply displays humor--however he has a deeper connection to his work that you must understand... in his work he is known to give the viewer not only what to look at but how to make selections and comparisons, often simply for the sake of doing so.

Video.

The three videos we watched in class were very cool about how the artist can to be in there field of work. The artist I liked the most was John Baldessari. He had a interesting take on life and how his art effected the people around him. He use common things in his art. There was a picture with a story about a pencil. I thought the was kind of weird at first but as the video moved on i saw how it was a important part of the body of work.
