Guest BROWNer Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 just to make clear, the above photo selections is a superbly inept overview of the volume of stuff he's done. find the book, you'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Tesseract Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Brown, i'm on it... it always makes me wonder you know, sometimes you see a bunch of someones stuff and you're still not convinced or motivated, i hardly know what it is, and someother times you see a grayscaled text and a bike and you get the message...i'll look for it, the only thing to clarify is if he's as dope as he seems or you made a really appealing collection,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BROWNer Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 i don't know man, he's extra crispy dope to me.... your tastes may be a bit more refined in certain areas.....................he's just a dope guy in general on top of being a dope artist.......... the book is, i think, 65 color flicks, 65 b&w...... lots of shit i've never seen that blew me away... i won't even get into details.... they also had the best basquiat book i've ever seen there.....fuckin' huge ass book with a bagillion full page/full color paintings....both were expensive:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BROWNer Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 :lol: oh no! apparently i'm saying too much lately............................................ uh.........hmm..........what to say................ ...um....yeaaaaaaaano?? really, lately i've been getting smacked around by basquiat. i couldn't tell you why other than the primitive shit is intriguing me lately. i don't like all his shit, not by a long shot, but some of it is..........i'm liking it. sorry:) please don't hate on me:) ;) :D aserine...it does look boring. i'm trying to tell you the book is full of wicked shit. but even then..its probly boring. he's one of these guys that you read about as well as look at his shit. he's an interesting guy(to me anyhow). yup.

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 :heated: OK, i just might never talk to you again:lol::lol::lol: Seriously though,and just for the record, i aint got beef with his work, its ok but rather insignificant to me, its the whole story/background/hype that bothers mr the most.

Guest BROWNer Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 heh heh... i know where you're coming from on the basquiat story. its somewhat significant to me right now becuz i'm in the process of trying to unlearn/redirect my drawing style. so i've been looking at tons of african mask art, haida art, primitive stuff, how picasso appropriated the african stuff into his own whatever....you know, nicking bits of stuff from all over trying to work that into something my own. some stuff serves a purpose in hindsight.

Guest imported_Tesseract Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Richter is one of my Favs for years...i have lots of books on that crazy german...mostly landscapes, i was hoping to get some more material, i've ordered the MOMA catalogue... scanning sucks and freephoto is down...i cant resist a challenge though..

Guest BROWNer Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 don't waste your time and scan and all that shit.... i just thought you'd have some morsels handy. seriously.... this curnoe book comes out on the heels of a large retrospective at the art gallery of ontario. richter had a show there some 15 years ago. i'm just making little asinine connections. i could, however, handle some little nuggets on the man....i don't know too much about him.

Guest TEARZ Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 holy shit... i'm checking into this man as we speak browner. thanks for the great tip. never heard of him.... but this looks right up my alley so far. btw, almost succeeded in racking a monster duchamp book this weekend from barnes & noble. almost. :( haha... good looking though partner.

Guest BROWNer Posted April 10, 2002 Share Posted April 10, 2002 tearz, i'm pumped your pumped. seriously, you should check out the book. it might be where you're at...he painted quite a few bikes man....10 speeds galore with all the colors of the rainbow:).....and he copied down stats and shit, his mileage everyday, the whole nine..he was a pretty large enthusiast. i don't think you will find much on the net...at least i didn't. flick wise. biography wise there's some stuff. i would've loved to have racked this book bro, it was clockin' in at close to a 'browner'(canuck slang for a $100 bill), but alas, i shook my head and left, defeated by the fact i didn't have the skrilla or balls to lay it down for a hometown hero.
