Christo and Jeanne-Claude

 

 

So these are the works of the very well known christo and jeanne-claude,
They were both born in 1935, Christo and Jeanne-Claude were born on the same date, Christo in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, and Jeanne-Claude in Morocco. They first met in Paris in October 1958. They had been warapping objects since 1968 and on and on uptil now. Thier work include wrappping up canvases, still life, chairs, sofas, sculptures,interiors, buildings, pathways and even mountains. i had never seen any artist works in such immense amount. I opened thier website and want just waiting for the moment that i could have finished lokking up to his works. All of his projects were up thier lined up as if they were thier to blow me off. i had been researching artist but christo simply kicked all others. This is what i call practicing art....

Although their work is visually impressive and often controversial as a result of its scale, the artists have repeatedly denied that their projects contain any deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic impact. The purpose of their art, they contend, is simply to create works of art or joy and beauty and to create new ways of seeing familiar landscapes. 

Art critic David Bourdon has described Christo's wrappings as a "revelation through concealment." To his critics Christo replies, "I am an artist, and I have to have courage ... Do you know that I don't have any artworks that exist? They all go away when they're finished. Only the preparatory drawings, and collages are left, giving my works an almost legendary character. I think it takes much greater courage to create things to be gone than to create things that will remain"

Although Jeanne died in 2009, christo still works, his latest under progress work is Mastaba in Abu Dhabi...
