If Abstract Expression reached for the sublime, Pop turned ordinary imagery into icons. Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol illuminated the transformative power of context and the process of reproduction. Claes Oldenburg's soft ice-cream cones and hamburgers changed sculpture from hard to soft, from stasis to transformation.
I have a taste for the macabre. I really am not drawn to imagery that is pretty, things that are just pretty. I’m drawn to things that challenge you, that make you nervous, that make you uncomfortable.
All my artistic response comes from American things, and I guess I've always had a weakness for heroic imagery.
What is being lost is the magic of the word. I am not an image person. Imagery belongs to another civilization: the caveman. Caveman couldn't express himself so he put images on walls.
Visual journaling allows us to access our inner language of imagery and express it both verbally and visually, while exploring the connection between image and word.
I liked the name Frog Brigade because it lent itself to a lot of cool imagery with the whole frog thing.
Place is extremely important to my work because I am always pulling landscape imagery into my poems.
There's the shared imagery between hip-hop and comics, with some producers and emcees taking on super hero personas.
Punk was never about one particular clean-cut imagery. . . it's about many, many individuals coming very loosely together.
You cannot base a whole movie on just the imagery alone. It has to be the story and the characters.
I didn't know I wanted to be a hairdresser. I was always interested in fashion and imagery in a very naive way, but it was always an attraction, like glitter balls.
I don't feel that I decided deliberately I'm going to write something and have it stand alone. Somewhere by the end I think it would probably revert to imagery.
Music and art are two very different activities for me. However, the use of imagery links them, and invention is important for both.
I think poetry bridges text and image. Poetry is visual in its imagery - but it requires close attention to words themselves. Words become jewels in poetry, while they are often tools in other genres.
Imagery is like music.
The worst forms of tyranny, or certainly the most successful ones, are not those we rail against but those that so insinuate themselves into the imagery of our consciousness, and the fabric of our lives, as not to be perceived as tyranny.
Our society is blind. We have lost our ability to be affected by imagery.
I prefer more of the modern stuff - just because I can associate with the imagery more.
There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?
The Academy for Guided Imagery has created and finely honed an exquisite training program. Years of development and feedback has resulted in a creative program with great integrity and clinical relevance.
