Great artist philosopher of our time so thankful he came to our school in Detroit '98.. Awesome lecturer, also he did a studio tour of our senior fine art studios and when he got to my studio poked his head in looked around and was about to leave then i began talking with him about Tiger stadium....
Gentleman, revolutionary, thankful he shared his talent with us this man truly lived his life:).
How can one begin to build off of the findings of an artist like this without being seen as a knockoff??
A true genius.
Irwin and Turrell together? Logical.
awesome
Rest in peace.
Robert Irwin gets 10 points automatically from me for talking back to the architect Richard Meier.
Meier was locked into a design straightjacket that proved over time to be phenomenologically destitute.
Neat.
He taught to support himself,some book proceeds, speaking engagements etc. He’s proof that you don’t need a big bank roll to live an original and inspirational life… Read his book I dare you.
Did he inherit a fortune ? Nothing in his life seems to have ever required money or traditional forms of sustenance.
Nope, he did not.
@@emoshmeer He was also a shrewd investor, investing in Disney early on...
An Egotist who was always trying to empty his work of egotism.
