Artist+Statements

All artists write artist statements. Artist statements inform the viewer of the artist's reason for and process of making their art work. All artist are expected to know how to write well and to express their vision through the construction of an artist statement. This is how we know why the artist made the art and what inspired their work. Here is a painting and photograph with part of an artist statement by Jackson Pollock.
