♥ When Takashi says that the artists’ hand should be left out of the painting, automatically Andy Warhol came to mind, and after reading on it is clear that he is a fan of Warhol’s work and his processes. I personally enjoy seeing the artists hand in any work, particularly painting. it just seems really mechanical and impersonal. If that is what an artist is going for then I guess it can be a good thing, but it can also be a bit boring. Takashi doesn’t necessarily have that problem because his works are already so busy and colorful that the lacy of the presence of his hand does not bother me.
♥ “Takashi’s practice makes Warhol’s look like a lemonade stand or a school play”
♥ It’s interesting that Marc Jacobs distinguishes between Takashi’s role as a painter and not a designer. He is sure to emphasize Takashi’s position as the painter of a piece which was later added to a pre-existing handbag, rather than him being labeled as the actual designer of the bags.
♥ I find it interesting that Oval Buddha also works as a self-portrait of the artist and that some consider whether or not it is sacrilegious. I think that makes it more interesting because it gives the viewer something to contemplate. When you hear the name Oval Buddha you assume that you are about to see a Buddha similar to those in history, but when I looked this up online, it couldn’t have been at a greater variance. I like that it has a typical name and brings to mind something familiar and turns out to be something completely different.
