Daily class notes
Christo and Jeane-Claude are very confident and persistent when it comes to their work. I was impressed at how they were not affected by the many complaints that some of the residents were saying about their artwork. "Not affected" meaning that they continued fighting for their project's completion even through the obstacles that they faced on the way. The simple media that they used for the Running Fence was more beautiful than if they painted ornate patterns on the fabric. Both artists were trying to let the viewer understand and figure out the beauty of the work by themselves with no help from known patterns and figures. I admired the rancher that enjoyed what he was seeing. It is rare to see people who don't have a preconceived idea of art appreciate what they see. I looked on the internet for more of their works and I noticed that their work is simple yet vey innovative, creative, and enormous in scale. One of the works that I loved was the one I posted here. The work looks very elegant and serene. It also looks like a mansion that is located in heaven or any other far away dimension.
