I remember earlier his voice had a lot of personal dimension to it.... now I'm not saying that aspect of it has seriously diminished, but it's interesting to observe how the "scholarly" and "Bruce vs Art History" aspect begins to take effect. These are no longer taken as personal battles of singularities but wider approaches towards ideas as a whole. The pizza-man lost in a spiral is quite possibly the most raw side of him I've seen...<BR/><BR/>Of all the things that the man is affected by, it is remarkable to look at his work and to not once be able to identify his immediate surroundings. I have seen Richmond, and many, many others strive to capture it more authentically. We are a city which happens to have an art-school in it, and there's at least a thousand paintings of the Fan going around. But this artist isn't concerned with that, and that shows a very interesting side to his character, indeed. Bruce speaks to a wide audience in a very subtle, quizzical, and indirect way.<BR/><BR/>I admire the man for his prolific nature and his wide-angle/off-angle approach to his subjects. If only the rest of us in his classes could hope to catch up.<BR/><BR/>Congrats, BruceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1148672551509053512006-05-26T15:42:00.000-04:002006-05-26T15:42:00.000-04:00hey carla! these bruce works are all 2006, i'm pre...hey carla! these bruce works are all 2006, i'm pretty sure. do it! <BR/><BR/>bruce has gone blogcrazy. you can follow along with his ideas, works-in-progress, and finished works on three different blogs - <BR/><BR/>http://www.brucewilhelm.blogspot.com/<BR/>http://brucewilhelm2.blogspot.com/<BR/>http://www.brucewilhelm3.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>the first one is of the works in progress.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13383812070175961882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1148672465019625422006-05-26T15:41:00.000-04:002006-05-26T15:41:00.000-04:00you are right on Martin. !you are right on Martin. !Legacy Userhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472628522860202447noreply@blogger.com
