- Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Julie Mehretu, from the "Systems" episode in Season 5 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
"Systems" premiered in October 2009 on PBS.
Julie Mehretu, shown working with her assistants in Berlin on seven large canvases for a show at Deutsche Guggenheim, says, “The thing that keeps me going is the painting and in getting lost in doing that a language is invented.”
Mehretu’s abstract compositions reference modernist architecture, Google Maps, Coliseum-like buildings, and defaced structures. Mehretu is also shown working on the biggest project of her young career: a 21 by 85 foot long mural commissioned by a major financial institution in Lower Manhattan, to be completed during the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression.
Julie Mehretu was born in 1970 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/artist/julie-mehretu

Are they getting good pay?

It IS much about mark making...
The bones of Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, the Impressionists and Picasso are rattling in their tombs.
I am pretty convinced a lot of the ones you mentioned would actually appreciate her work enormously.
@@unamor yes, i agree. The masters who worked on the same scale, also had co-workers doing certain parts. . And it is all about mark making and layers, shapes... and i think there is some mathematical calculations.as well in these shapes
