American conceptual artist, John Baldessari is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. He began making art in the 60s and has continued to do so up to the present day. He lives in California and works primarily with images and photography.

 

Sarcástico, ele afirmou que não faria mais arte entediante.
"I WILL NOT MAKE ANY MORE BORING ART"

He is famous for his bold announcement:
"I WILL NOT MAKE ANY MORE BORING ART"


"A Brief History of John Baldessari", vídeo sobre a vida e arte do artista, foi apresentado na festa Art+FilmGala do ano passado, evento beneficente do Los Angeles Counts museum of art o LACMA, Baldessari e Clint Eastwood eram os homenageados da noite. O Max editou o vídeo dirigido pelos seus amigos Ariel Schulman e Henry Joost. Após a apresentação do vídeo, Eastwood (com ciúmes) parou seu discurso e perguntou: Quem fez esse vídeo do Baldessari??? Vale a pena ver...

"A Brief History of John Baldessari" is a video on Baldessari's life and art and was commissioned by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for their first annual Art+Film Gala (at which Baldessari and Clint Eastwood were the honorees).  Max edited the video which was directed by his friends Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost (who also made the movies Catfish and Paranormal Activity 3).  After the presentation of the video, Eastwood (jealous) stopped his speech and said, "who made this video about Baldessari???" It is worth seeing ...
