HAPPY MOTHERS DAY INTERVIEW: THE ARTIST & LECTURER JOAN SCHULZE

THE ARTIST & LECTURER : JOAN SCHULZE AT BUREAU OF ARTS AND CULTURE MAGAZINE L.A. SITE

THE ARTIST & LECTURER : JOAN SCHULZE

ART: "I am motivated to do it because I have had an experience that I have to somehow make visual."

TEACHING : " I think I've been an artist all my life. I come from the other side of the tracks in Chicago. When your in a big family you have to make a living, so your not going to choose art. No matter what, even if it's your hearts desire. So I choose to be a school teacher, because in that era you either were an airline stewardess, a nurse, a school teacher or you got married. Were talking about the late Forties & middle Fifties. When your a school teacher your using art every day. We had self contained classrooms and people would come to me and ask me to choose colors for them and I wondered why they were choosing me ? But, In retrospect, it must have been the way I ran my classrooms and how my children always did art. So I was an artist without portfolio & without stating it for the world, that came after I had children around 1970. "

TRAINING: " The first teacher I had asked me, what my training was ? And I said, ' I don't have any training, I just do it '. She was my mentor from the get - go. Constance Howard. She died at age Ninety-one. She was my second Mother, my ' Art Mother ' & always encouraged me to continue doing what I was doing. Every year she would come and have me show what I had been doing. Asking these really intricate questions. Because she wrote forty books & was the Head of Textiles & Design at Goldsmiths College, which is a major Art School in London, she was really giving me what I didn't get [formally], she was giving it to me in a very casual way and I took it. I ran with it. "

WHY JIM HARRISON IS NOT DEAD

Tap Image to Read The Article Honoring The "LEGENDS OF THE FALL" Writer and Poet: Jim Harrison came from a family that adored and revered Literature: "My Family were obsessive readers…" The famous story goes, that, at a dinner table discussion, his family were talking about Norman Mailer's first success on the world stage and his book, entitled, " The Naked and The Dead, " young Jim responded to the conversation with the quick and curious question, "Does it have Illustrations ?" Laughter ensued and the beginning of his particularly curious, yet grounded, stoic, although humorous, celebratory whilst at the same time cautionary literary style is born.

THE IRVINE WELSH INTERVIEW

Author of TRAIN-SPOTTING on Writing, Politics + More/ Photo Essay By Walter ROTHWELL: "One of the things that happens with success is that you need to balance being a writer with an author. Writers write, while authors promote and talk about their work. So you learn that you have two jobs, which generally compliment each other, but can often get in each others way. This confusion is compounded by me working in film and TV; you need to think differently on screenplay as you are an architect rather than a builder, and once a work goes into production, you (appropriately) fall quite far down the food chain. So I now wear different hats, which I usually like –life gets boring doing the same thing."

The Nathan Walsh Interview

Tap to Read The New York Based BUREAU Guest Artist discussing his work, technique and the future of Realism in ART with Bureau Editor Joshua TRILIEGI: "I started collecting art related books as a student. This has served as daily form a of inspiration and guidance for my own practice. Looking at significant artists and paintings of the past can often be intimidating but can also suggest ways forward. My inspirations are numerous and varied from Piranesi’s engravings to the decorative tiles of William De Morgan. What connects all of these interests is a strong sense of structure and pattern. Most of the artists and designers I admire had or have a rigorous approach to composition and commitment to process perhaps more than outcome. I often think my own work as “sampling” these inspiring figures, whether it be the palette of Bonnard or the dynamism of a Bernice Abbott photograph. " - NATHAN WALSH

The ALEX HARRIS Interview

Tap To READ Alex HARRIS : "When I had the idea to photograph the landscape of northern New Mexico through the interiors of the cars of people who lived there, I’d been living in northern New Mexico on and off for almost 15 years and working in color there for about five years with a view camera. I saw myself as making the portrait of this region without including any actual people in the pictures. So I photographed extensively inside homes, whose decoration was primarily the domain of women, and the outsides of homes and in the fields, which was primarily the domain of men. In photographing these spaces, in a sense I was portraying the people who had created or shaped those spaces over the years. I wanted to represent the younger generation, and the spaces they controlled and decorated were the interiors of their cars."

TAP TO READ The John STEINBECK ICON Essay By J.A. TRILIEGI : "Question : What is it, that makes a good writer ? There are over a million answers to that question, simply ask a million writers. Each have their own rules, codes and exercises. John Updike adhered to writing three pages a day, before lunch. Charles Bukowski enjoyed a nice bottle of wine and the peaceful patter of classical music, deep into the night. According to John Steinbeck, in his Nobel Prize winning speech, there are many things a writer cannot think, be or do, to be considered, one of the gang. 1-You may not be Exclusive. 2-You may not be Separate. 3-You may not lack passion..."

ROBERT FRANK: THE AMERICANS

An APPRECIATION PIECE by Joshua TRILIEGI: "Photographers around the world revere Robert Frank's contributions to the image pool. Museums of the National and International variety create anthologies, catalogues and booklets attempting to put into perspective the precise importance of Mr. Frank's work. Art galleries and private dealers invest tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in reproducing and reselling the Robert Frank catalogue to new collectors at higher and higher prices each year. Robert Frank's photographs have become iconic, the images are American to the core and yet, he was an outsider, a beatnik, an immigrant, a visual poet... " TAP IMAGE TO READ ARTICLE NOW

REDFORD'S QUIZ SHOW at 20

Tap to READ BUREAU FILM : "This is a large film, with a brilliant cast, a flawless tone and leading actors that include John Turturro as the whistle-blowing contestant Herb Stempel and Ralph Fiennes as Charlie Van Doren, a wealthy second generation Columbia University teacher who gets sucked into cheating himself, the public and his families reputation simply by allowing the network's television producers of The Quiz Show entitled, "21" to, "… give him the answers." Which are said to be, "… sealed in a bank vault." Enter investigating lawyer and Harvard graduate at the top of his class, Richard Goodwin, played here brilliantly by Rob Morrow. A former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Frankfurter, who is on the legislative subcommittee for oversight..."

ON THE FILM SET : Raging BULL

Tap To READ J. A. TRILIEGI ON THE SET: A Man in a hooded, leopard skin robe walks down a long hallway while a group of men push aside those standing in his path. We hear a crowd of thousands cheer the man on, "Jake Jake Jake …" they begin to chant. He is wearing boxing gloves, this is a championship fight, the crowd is dressed in their finest, the men are wearing suits and hats, the women are wearing jewelry, the place is filled with cigar and cigarette smoke, sailors, businessmen, middle aged characters scream the man's name over and over, the women smile as he passes by, his trainers walk in front of and behind the man as he walks down the pathway toward the ring, the volume of the crowd amplifies as the man gets closer and closer to the large roped off square canvas at the center of the arena. The man in the leopard skin robe enters through the ropes, a nondescript fellow with a microphone introduces the man in the robe, the crowd goes wild with frenzy, people are shouting, clapping, everyone is yelling something and then, suddenly, a quiet gent behind a camera yells, "cut" and the place goes silent, the action ceases, everyone settles and a pensive discussion between the crew behind the camera ensues.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN: ICON ESSAY

Tap To READ: Bruce Springsteen tells stories. He knits a good yarn. He knows how to handle the crowd. Like most artists, he was a few steps ahead of the audience. Looking back to his debut album, entitled, "Greetings from Asbury Park," it is now clear that, Bruce Springsteen is not just a great singer, performer and musician, Mr. Springsteen is that rare and individual voice, both on the stage and more importantly: on paper. He is a poet. When the world was still reeling from Vietnam, from the end of The Beatles, from the shadow of Richard Nixon and the slow, but steady death of the once powerful 1960s cultural revolution, this artist released an album that was miles and miles, ahead of his audience.

GEORGIA O'KEEFFE ICON

Tap To READ The BUREAU ICON ESSAY: Georgia O'Keeffe, as a person, was precocious, defiant, intelligent, unwavering and spirited. Throughout her education and early years as a painter, she produced an original abstractionist style that had preceded a group of New York painters of the male variety that has, to this day, remained wholly original, breathtakingly expansive and sexually charged in a way that empowers feminine energy and iconography. O'Keeffe rejected analysis of her works from start to finish, from her early years in New York, to her later years in The West, everyone seemed to get it wrong. So then, let us look again at the paintings and life of Ms. Georgia O'Keeffe and see if we can put this incredible body of work into a new and contemporary context with a fresh eye and revisionist look at this phenomenally bold American.
