Midterm Assignment 1: Taste & Aesthetics
All I can really say is wow. I can really under stand still about the peace that Claes Oldenburg did about Typewriter, Eraser, scale X. but it is really interesting it really doesn’t look like a typewriter or a scale or anything he I think is really a freak but really a cool freak at the same time because he takes everyday things and turns them into a object of art. He went to many schools but the most popular one was Yale and received a B.A. degree in 1950. He had many experiences with different art like drawings, painting, film, soft sculpture, and steel sculpture. But his most famous art was his sculpturing in the mid-1960’s was the beginning of the giant monuments. There’s a giant teddy bear in central park among this there a controversial lipstick on caterpillar tracks. Also there are many others like a giant ice bag at Yale University and a 38-foot steel monument of a flashlight on the campus of the university of Nevada, Las Vegas. Most of his art is creative and nothing like tony smith who creates art in his own way at the park. Most of Mr. Smith’s art is shapes and not really creative but who knows there’s a lot of people who like every kind of art so I cant judge. Claes Oldenburg has a different tastes in art just like the ones in the sculpture park there all crazy and down right confusing but each one has a story behind them like “why they did it” and “what was in there minds” at the time. Mr. Oldenburg has a lot of art talent even though some of it is really weird like the dropped ice cream cone or the soft bathtub. When I went back and look at the sculpture in the park I was trying to understand “what was he thinking at the time” and “why did he do this.” But what i'm mostly going to think about is “what a freak this guy was.”
