Growing Morning Glories: How To Grow Morning Glory Flowers Morning glory flowers (Ipomoea purpurea or Convolvulus purpureus) are a common sight in many landscapes and may be found in any number of species within the Calystegia, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Merremia and Rivea genera.

I chose Reed Danziger because her work looked crazy and intricate from the moment I saw it. And the closer you examine it, the more complicated it becomes. I respect and love the layering work she does. All of her prints are layers upon layers of hand-worked monotypes. No matter whether Danziger decides to use graphite, ink, watercolor, oil, silkscreen, gouache*, shellac* in a given layer the end result is flawless. One of the printing studios she worked at described her work as”worlds within themselves.” I think this is the perfect description and/or summation of her work. Pay special attention to the titles of her work as well…they are telling to say the least.

*gouache is a method of painting using opaque pigments ground in water and thickened with a gluelike substance

*shellac is a lac resin melted into thin flakes, typically used to make a varnish

Tom Judd

Tom Judd was born in Lawrnceville, New Jersey in 1952. His family comes from a distinguised Mormon background, although his immediate family were not active church members. I was particularly drawn to Judd's paintings because of the mixed medium and variety of color. I like how his art is able to communicate a lot of character and response without being over the top. This idea is also conveyed in his "The Hermit Project," which is a small installation that is a simple house on the outside, but in the inside it looks as though a hermit has been living in the hut for 40+ years. I liked this project because the memorabilia and nuance of the hut was so powerful, even though it was simply a collection of junk. For me, I like to get rid of things as much as I can. However, I have a small box in my room that is filled with the wackiest junk that I have collected from the past decade. It is weird and odd and even kind of gross (I have some teeth in the junk box), but each relic brings back memories that I can so clearly remember.

Richard Bosman

Biography

•Richard Bosman was born in 1944 in Madras, India.

•He now lives in Esposus, New York.

•He studied in the Bryam Shaw School of Painting and Drawing in London, the New York Studio School, New York and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Skowhegan, ME.

•Richard Bosman does painting and print making.

•He is “known for his woodcuts depicting turbulent seascapes.”(artspace.com)

Fogbank 1984 Etching (rbosman.com)

I really liked how two images were stacked one onto of the other to demonstrate the change in the scene( from the boat not being visible to being visible demonstrating it moving out of the fog). I also really like the subtle gray colors. I think it captures fog well. In addition I think the black lines indicate water well.

The wave 1984 woodcut (rbosman.com)

I really like how full of color this wood cut is. In addition I like how there is a symmetry between the top and the bottom of the wave. This time he uses very different methods to convey water but it still works very well.

Tropical Sunset 1984 linocut (rbosman)

I really love the colors and the contrast between the colors on this piece.

Volcano 1989 woodcut (rbosman)

Night Sky 1990 Etching ( rbosman.com)

Drowning Man 1981 wood cut

I don't like this piece as much as his other pieces but I feel that it represents a different and important part of his work, one which is much darker and seems to be centered around human tragedies like drowning, suicide, or car crashes ect.

About the art (opinion)

•I really like some of his art. His pieces which focus on nature or just the environment are really bountiful. ( I particularly liked the sunset piece). I also like images of water in art and he portrays water in many different was in many of his pieces.

•A lot of his art is very beautiful but also demonstrates destruction and chaos (like his wave print and his volcano print). I think that this really conveys the dual aspects of nature in that it is both destructive and dangerous but also very beautiful.

•A lot of his pieces are also quite haunting like “Drowning man.” These pieces seem to want to talk about depression and destruction in human life. I do not like these as much but they are an important section of his work.

Francesco Clemente

Born in Naples, Italy in 1952, Francesco Clemente grew up during a period of social and political instability in his country. Clemente wrote poetry and painted as a child. He briefly studied architecture at the University of Rome in 1970, but soon turned to art, displaying his works at his first solo exhibition at the Galleria Valle Giulia in Rome the next year. Clemente first visited India in 1973, where he has returned frequently to collaborate with various Indian artists. Clemente's wife, Alba Primiceri, was an Italian actress whose image often appears in Clemente's work. The two moved to New York City in 1981, where they currently reside. In New York, Clemente has collaborated with artists such as Basquiat and Warhol. He has also created illustrations in literary collaborations.

Clemente has explored a wide range of mediums including drawings, prints, oil paintings, wax frescos, murals, sculptures, and more. Clemente is intrigued by the art of palimpsest, in which the text on a page of manuscript has been partially scraped/washed off for reuse.

Much of Clemente's work reflects his interest in Hindu spiritual life and other non-European cultures. Clemente is known as an iconographer, making use of symbols and traditional images in his work. His art is often centered around mythology, spirituality, life/death and sexuality.
