Tuesday's Lecture, H. John Thompson

He was an interesting artist, definitely. He considered himself a painter but did more three dimensional works. I like the idea of pulling painting away from its usual setting and creating something different. I'm sure mad people consider him to be a sculptor but I feel like if he is conducting himself as a painter and setting up his work as he would if he were painting, than his works are paintings. I really enjoyed this lecture. It kind of inspired me to consider what qualifies as a painting ans how I can branch out from the box the art world has put the art of painting in.
