I absolutely loved getting to meet Julia Jacquette this morning. Her answers to the class’ questions helped us understand her as a person better, and I think it was interesting to go through a few more generic question before focusing more specifically on a few pieces of her work. As someone in the class brought up, someone with no background knowledge of what Julia’s work represents, especially in regards to the zoomed-in, abstract pieces and her interest in stylizing advertisements, might not fully understand what it symbolizes. Having the opportunity to see paintings is amazing and while art is about interpretation, I found it crazy how much the meaning of a piece can change with explanation of its original message or method of production by the artist. Seeing pieces of art is a completely different world than hearing about them.
