bullshit still life commentary

oh look they don't make sense
oh look none of them are very good
well shane, instead of making us do projects that produce subpar results (you claim you have NEVER been 'wowed' by any of the still life commentaries your students have produced) how about giving us a different assignment?


most of these topics i don't have any opinion on
or my opinion is super complicated and difficult to explain pictorially
which makes it hard to 'comment' on. :/

Artist Research (N.C. Wyeth)

I am pretty sure this is the manliest drawing I have ever seen in my life.

INJUNS!

  • Drew many manly things.
  • Both an illustrator and a painter, and considered them seperate disciplines. 
  • Oldest of four brothers.
  • Went out west, visited the Navajo, worked as a cowboy, delivered mail for money for the trip home.
  • Tended to portray Native Americans in a sympathetic light.
  • Hoped to earn enough from illustrating in order to become a REAL FER SERIOUS PAINTER but never did. Eventually grew really bitter and disillusioned with commercialism because of it.

JESUS CHRIST I HAD THIS LADY'S ILLUSTRATIONS IN ONE OF MY BOOKS WHEN I WAS LITTLE I ALWAYS WONDERED WHO DREW THEMMM
Anyways, yeah. Worked as an illustrator drawing covers for really femmy magazines like Good Housekeeping and all that. Also kid's books, as evidenced by my owning a copy of one of 'em. The Society of Illustrators has only accepted like ten women into it's Hall of Fame type deal. She was one of them. She was one of Howard Pyle's proteges, as well. She drew a LOT of kids. I had a hard time finding any of her drawings without them.
