anaba: Artnet Art L.A. FYI

Monday, February 14, 2005

I'm pretty sure that in this photo from Artnet's OUT AT ART L.A. page those two guys are standing in front of a couple Joe Fyfe paintings.

Mountain Man said...: unfortunately, i am not a fan of joe fyfe. i am sorry to say. not as a painter, nor a writer, nor a person. have you seen him on mark kostabi's name my painting? what a weiner! truly a foolish man.; 2/15/2005 12:17 AM

Please be more specific about what you don't like about the paintings. I've only seen one of his paintings for real but won't deny that many discussions with Joe Fyfe have been an influence on my latest work - I don't think he's foolish at all.; 2/15/2005 12:58 AM
Mountain Man said...: i appreciate your need for clarity. my problem with joe fyfe and his paintings are that they and he are all posture and no depth. i feel he imposes his subjective judgments onto others aggressively. now this doesn't mean he is not a good teacher, only that i think his insecurity in the artworld causes him to behave unpleasantly at times.

you are a nicer person than i am.; 2/15/2005 9:08 AM
