In our first discussion, I described art as anything and everything that is created and can affect someone emotionally. With this definition, Evelyn’s art project would be considered art, but it made me want to revise my definition after thinking about it. An artist should be able to imagine the final result in their mind, so they can have something to work towards and know when they are finished, even if the process may change here and there. Evelyn’s objective was to test how much she could…

Gregory Battcock is a painting of two men notorious for the downtown New York art scene in the 1960’s and 70’s. Representing two opposite unities—dress and undress—the oil on canvas also portrays how David Bourdon and Gregory Battcock were once lovers.

Break a wall一 From painting to photography and photography to wildness At the beginning of photography’s history, the timing was indeed right for the invention of this technology and media. As Walter Benjamin observes in, “A short history of photography” : “The fog which obscures the beginnings of photography is not quite as thick as that which envelops the beginnings of printing.
