Classical Portrait Painters

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 09:11:13 +0000

Two classically trained portrait painters honor me by asking me to sit for a portrait. These artists studied under the tutelage of a living master and their art demonstrates the skills he taught.
Music is Vivaldi’s “Trio Sonata for Two Violins and Continuo in A Major.”

James Castle: Portrait of an Artist

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 10:22:12 +0000

Friends, family, fellow artists and gallery insiders give a wealth of insight into the life of the late James Castle, a deaf, self-taught, American folk artist who learned to communicate effectively through his art. His drawings differentiate from the norm in that they are created with any accessible materials, such as using stove soot as ink. While much of his acclaim came after his death, Castle has provided an unconventional approach to art that broadens the mind to contemplate.

Alec Soth: Portraits – Portraiture

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 06:35:08 +0000

In October of 2004, photographer Alec Soth went on assignment for LIFE magazine to capture weekend soldiers at an Airsoft military simulation in Joelton, Tennessee.

In anticipation of his upcoming Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program exhibition, filmmaker Mike Dust traveled alongside Soth for this three-day excursion, interviewing and shooting alongside him as he worked to capture images for, both the magazine shoot as well as for his personal work.

A number of these photographs (Odessa, Joelton, Tennessee, 2004 and Josh, Joelton, Tennessee, 2004) became part of the exhibition Alec Soth: Portraits at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts the following spring. The video piece created during that shoot was installed in the gallery as an accompaniment to the exhibition.

The video is broken into three segments entitled On Assignment, Portraiture, and The Ground Glass.
