Paul McCarthy (Not McCartney)


Here there are two great drawings by Paul McCarthy, one of my favourite artists.


Paul McCarthy (born in 1945 in Salt Lake City, Utah) is a performance artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
He studied art at the University of Utah in 1969. He went on the study at the San Francisco Art Institute getting his B.F.A. in painting. Then in 1972 he studied film, video, and art at the University of Southern California getting his M.F.A.
McCarthy began his art career with performances that employed gravity as a literal and metaphorical vehicle. By 1974 his work became far more aggressive and sexually provocative. His performances have been described as brutally self-assaultive.

Hola Volan. Estan muy bonitas las pinturas y dibujos de McCarthy. Has visto el trabajo de Allen Jones? si te gusta McCarthy seguro que te va a gustar Jones.

Gracias por sus comentarios. SÍ a mi me gusta bastante Allen Jones, -especialmente sus muebles- tambien me gustan bastante Jaspers y Wasselman contemporáneos de Jones. Creo que les debo una entrada en el blog.
