Preparing for my lecture about Visual Archaeology
to the friends of the Ft. Lauderdale MOA
Revisiting the development of this idea is very interesting.
Lee Bontecou
Her drawings really intrigued me as well as her
Drawing into sculpture.
Lee's father and uncle designed the first aluminum canoe
and her mom worked in a factory wiring electronics during WWII.
She grew up believing she could make anything if she learned the right skills

Her retrospective exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago in 2004 was a direct influence on my drawings - the mixture of imagery that has been described as surreal. I don't see them as surreal but organic and original.
She has accomplished my desire to move art off the wall. Her welded structures, molded plastic and mobiles hold me spellbound. Glad to revisit her incredible work.
Lee's statement for her incredible catalogue:
"Since my early years until now, the natural world and it's visual wonders and horrors - man-made devices with their mind-boggling engineering feats and destructive abominations, elusive human nature and it's multiple ramifications from the sublime to unbelievable abhorrences - to me are all one. It is in the spirit of this feeling that the primary influences on my work have occurred."
This was by far the most incredible body of work I have ever seen.
My first impression was that there was no excuses across all of the media and types of art she had made. She had not followed the prescribed path of the "series" for galleries, but had developed all of her ideas fully by fine tuning her drawing, painting and sculpture skills.
My Hero!
More cool artists of the week
Stanka Kordic
Look at the incredible brush strokes in his paintings
He creates a conflict between smooth and painterly finishes.
Love this gorgeous painterly feel.
