Deeds & Titles: Retitling the 'Self-Reflexive' Art

Here's our take on (and retitling of) all 14 artestant's portraits showcased on last night's Work of Art.

Jun 10, 2010

Jaclyn's Portrait of Judith

Retitled: "Judith Is Burning"
Artestant's Explanation: The black-and-white face surrounded by a maelstrom of red hues captures Judith's resilient essence.
Our Snap Judgment: When Judith said that she "disliked the expression" Jaclyn put on her face, we had to laugh, because: while saying that with a grimace, the expression on her face was exactly that of Jaclyn's portrait.


Judith's Portrait of Jaclyn

Retitled: "Jaclyn Is Purple and Proud"
Artestant's Explanation: The purple background and "proud" words captures Jaclyn's resilient essence.
Our Snap Judgment: Okay, it's abstract and all, but here's what comes to our mind when thinking about Purple Pride: (1) that was the slogan for our middle school track team, and (2) the gay pride parade.

Bravo, for Bravo for putting a show about art. I was begining to think taht art was a drity word in todays world. My family and I are very much into art, and love that you have a show about it. Thank You Bravo.

I have a question I know it is the first season of Work of Art the next greatest Artist.... I first think it is a success and was wondering what do you have to do to possibly be in the running for season 2? I have been an artist my whole life I am 41 have two BFA's and on AA and worked 17 years in the Graphic field however I have a saying Art is Life and Life is Art...

I really do appreciate this show as my husband is a classic fine artist (painter) and has been working professionally for 15 years. He also has his BFA and is able to create artwork, show in a gallery, teach classes, along with having a family. He would be great for this show, so please keep us informed on when the next casting call is! Thanks and please KEEP supporting the arts!
