Text and Image (John Baldessari)
John Baldessari took some pictures of himself pointing at things, he then commissioned some of his friends to paint those photographs and then he put them in an exhibit. He credits them in the picture.
Here is a blank, plain white canvas with the words "Pure Beauty" on it.
Text and image can be as simple as 4 words or something more complex as with Banksy and the likes. But sometimes less is more. It helps the viewer make more assumptions about the piece.
I'm not quite sure how I personally could use Text and Image in my animations, but I'm sure I will think of something.
One part of Baldassari's work was how sarcastic the text would be on some of the pieces. Pieces such as this one:
I just think that I can relate to him because I'm also incredibly sarcastic, as you know by now. I mean we're on our 3rd year together.
