A field
is not a field of study w/o a history. What is the history of computers in
the fine arts? Who were the important people?
|
|
Where do
we stand today? And what looks likely for the future?
|
|
|
|
•Some good books and increasing attentions paid
to these questions
|
|
•But history often not known or ignored, even by
curators at major museums
|
|
•Also, ironically, hard to view these work in
reproduction
|
|
•Many plotter pieces use fine, delicate lines
|
|
•Small jpg’s on web give little sense of feeling
of real work
|
|
•No high-quality posters available (as with
Impressionism) since not big enough audience
|
|
•Few coffee-table type book with really good
reproductions, in color
|
|
•This is why today’s class will be based on
examination of real pieces
|
|
•Other missing info: stories of the artist’s
lives. History books very factual/unemotional—don’t’ give a sense of the
struggle, the drama of creating new types of art that many people don’t like
or even fine offensive.
