I found this book called Painters Eleven. A group of artists from the seventies and eighties. I think they saw themselves as the underdogs, the bad boys. This guys stuff is ok. Their all rich frauds, most of the stuff below is from William Ronald’s series titled Prime Ministers. Each abstract painting is named after a Prime Minister… which is total shit now that I think about it. A bullshit gimmick to get a grant I’m sure. These fucks really believe their own hype. Canada is soft as shit. I want to do a series of paintings, where William Ronald’s work begins at the stage of first figuring out what best will get grant money, my starting point will be from inside his head. It will be called The Conscience Of A Fraud. I’ll probably get bored after one though. Fuck the last painter I posted too. I’m sick of him. My second post on artists has spiraled into hate. More next week from Painters Eleven.

PART ONE:  WOLS.

I’ve been cruising the library shelves searching for artists a lot lately.  Each week I will post someone I’ve found.

This week. WOLS.

Wols was the pseudonym of Alfred Otto Wolfgang Schulze (May 27, 1913- September 1, 1951), a German painter and photographer predominantly active in France.

Noted for his etchings and for his use of stains (taches) of color dabbed onto the canvas (as exemplified by his painting Composition, c. 1950), Wols pioneered a new style of expressive abstraction. Though unrecognized in his lifetime, he is considered one of the most influential artists of the Tachisme movement.
