Magritte And His Impacts On Contemporary Artists
Write an 8-10 page research paper about Magritte and his impact on contemporary artists, which was inspired by the important past exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art entitled Magritte and Contemporary Art: The Treachery of Images. The exhibition, and its art exhibition catalog (on reserve at Davidson Library), went beyond simply investigating overt intertextual references between the work of Magritte and contemporary artists who sought inspiration from his work. In many cases, contemporary artists made clever philosophical references to Magritte’s work in subtle ways. Furthermore, the exhibition, and catalogue, revealed the way in which Magritte’s visual vocabulary– his use of the juxtaposition of words and images, and a variety of other visual and ideological strategies– permeated our culture and profoundly impacted the work of contemporary artists.
Discuss Magritte’s impact on artists such as Richard Artschwager, John Baldessari, Vija Celmins, Robert Gober, Jasper Johns, Jeff Koons, Joseph Kosuth, Ed Ruscha, and Andy Warhol. Use relevant examples from the exhibition catalogue, essays from your course reader and most importantly the research materials available at Davidson Library to clarify your assertions.
