Framing the Artists: Artists & Art in Film & Television

Catalog Number:

Journal, Framing the Artists: Artists & Art in Film & Television

Date:

April 2005

Issue:

Abstract:

Continuing stereotypes of art and artists in mainstream media reveal to us the real impact (or lack thereof) that artists have on the world around them. The minimal presence of living, working, visual artists in these media spheres contributes to the kinds of generalizations and misunderstandings that many people seem to have about the power and function of the visual arts. It is our contention that by continually watching, cataloging,and analyzing these portrayals, artists can also gain a better understanding of their own responsibilities to their viewers and how the stereotypes hurt their ability to effectively communicate their ideas. *

I know, I know, I deliberately misinformed you, hoping to lure you into purchasing (or stealing) my magazine, What you will find is a collection of stories, illustrations and comics from local writers and artists. A lot of hard work went into this, but not as much as I'd like you to think. Enjoy!"
