The San Jose Museum of Art is pleased to be the only West Coast venue for the critically acclaimed exhibition Martin Ramirez. The exhibition runs from June 9 - September 9, 2007. In this podcast Martin Ramirez: Three Perspectives, we speak with three people closely associated with this exhibition.
Brooke Davis Anderson is the director and curator of The Contemporary Center of the American Folk Art Museum in New York and was responsible for organizing the Martin Ramirez exhibiton.
Kristin Espinosa, sociologist, researched the life and recorded the biography of Martin Ramirez.
And Matt Pasto is the son of Tarmo Pasto, the artist and psychologist, who was responsible for discovering and encouraging the work of Martin Ramirez.
Those interpretations are interesting, but they are yours not Ramirez's....I think you're giving insight into your state of mind at the time or at what you are viewing and not the artist...my take on them is completely different from yours....but that is what art is about-not the artist...do you really think Ramirez had such an intellectual understanding of what he was drawing?
Glad you have this here,I love the art and your video,Thanks
