Review: Esther Kroon

http://jmcolberg.com/weblog/2012/10/review_esther_kroon/

There wasn't really anything specific about the title or imagery that caught my eye with this article. I chose this one because it was the longest and it gave me something to review. That being said this article discusses a book of photographs by Esther Kroon's.  Esther kroon was shot and killed in Guatemala when she was only 25 years old. She left behind hundreds of photographs she had taken of children in Barcelona and Amsterdam.   Van Zoetendal Publishers published all of her work. Her photographs are quite beautiful. I absolutely love children so I find her work very interesting.

Latin America Week: Alejandro Medina

http://www.lenscratch.com/2012/10/latin-america-week-alejandro-medina.html?m=1

This article discusses the Guatemalan photographer Alejandro Medina. What really struck me was that he is only 17 years old. His work has already been shown in New York and in his homeland. His work is very interesting and not something you would expect from someone so young.

Dallas’ Allison V. Smith at Marfa Contemporary

http://glasstire.com/2012/10/06/dallas-allison-v-smith-at-marfa-contemporary/

This title caught my eye because it was discussing an artist from Dallas.  This article talks about the Town of Marfa which has become an art pilgrimage.  It's said to be a middle of no where destination.  "Pilgrimage Marfa: Personal Journeys of Three Photographers" is the first show that the brand new outpost, Marfa Contemporary, will be putting on.  I find this to be a very interesting article. This town seems to be a very cool place and I'd love to learn more about it!

On View Now | Andy Warhol and the Anxiety of Influence
http://blog.art21.org/2012/10/04/on-view-now-andy-warhol-and-the-anxiety-of-effluence/

This title caught my eye because I absolutely love Andy Warhol's work! This article the many works of art Andy Warhol has displayed in museums throughout the world.  Not only this but the significant influence he has had on so many artist today.

               "Indeed, one of Warhol’s greatest and most enduring legacies was his ability to simultaneously confront, critique, and, most tellingly, exploit the status, affluence and illusion are the pillars of art and the art market and also of consumer culture."

  I love looking at this work and am so inspired by his insane direction!

Storm Season
http://places.designobserver.com/feature/storm-season-louisiana-barrier-islands/35838/

What caught my eye about his article was the beautiful photo example the website gave.  This article gives a short description of the photographer Daniel Kariko and his latest series Storm Season.  In this series Daniels used a pin hole camera to photograph the outcome of hurricanes and poor land management of the Mississippi River delta.   His photographs are absolutely beautiful.  It was so interesting to see the changes of this area over the 5 years he documented these areas.

http://jmcolberg.com/weblog/2012/09/review_it_once_was_a_paradise_by_nobuyoshi_araki/

There wasn't really anything that caught my eye about the title of this article. I just was scrolling through my options an clicked on one. But I am glad this is is the article I chose. This article was actually a book review of the Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki. This review discusses Arakis recent photo book.  I was very interested in the photos provided by the article.  This is definitely an artist that will be more thoroughly looking into.

What caught my eye in the title of this article was Japanese. I went to Tokyo,Japan when I was in high school and absolutely loved. Since then I have been so intrigued by the Japanese culture.   This article was about some of the awards given out by the Japanese Art Association.  Like I said I before, I love the Japanese culture so this article definitely interested me. I would love to learn more about this subject.
