4. NGAEWG_121117_061.JPG: Sam Gilliam: Born in 1933 in Tupelo, Mississippi, Sam Gilliam moved to Washington DC in 1962, where he became friendly with the artists of the so-called Washington Color School including Kenneth Noland and Morris Louis. After exploring various styles in the early sixties, Gilliam began using masking tape and acrylic paint to produce works such as Hot Chord (1965). He let the pigment soak into the bare fabric, staining the cotton fibers so that surface and color became indistinguishable. While the result is clearly indebted to Noland's work, Gilliam's originality can be seen in his subtle sense of color. Gilliam's signal accomplishment -- the suspended painting -- made its debut in 1968. After staining and pouring paint over large expanses of canvas, he then folded the material while wet to form an object that would hang loosely on the wall or from the ceiling on sawhorses, and that could be installed with the element of improvisation. In these "drapes," such as Relative (1969) and Raw (1970), Gilliam left the wall behind to treat physical color-spaces. This revolutionary approach made new demands of the viewer while blurring the boundaries of painting, sculpture, and architecture. In the mid-seventies, Gilliam returned his attention to the stretched canvas. Works such as Painting for Dorothy Gilliam and Dorothy's Choice (both 1974) are marked by the rhythmic, often discordant patterns of their painted creases. Gilliam created these effects via a back-and-forth process of folding, bunching, tying and painting. Deep beveled stretches give the impression that the works are emerging from the wall. In recent decades, Gilliam has continued to explore color and texture in painting and to experiment with volumetric surfaces. In Celebration (1987), the one print in this installation, is a notable example of the rake-like application of color that Gilliam frequently uses. His dynamic work continues to evolve today.

2012 photos: Equipment this year: My mainstays were the Fuji S100fs, Nikon D7000, and the new Fuji X-S1. I also used an underwater Fuji XP50 and a Nikon D600. The first three cameras all broke this year and had to be repaired. Trips this year: three Civil War Trust conferences (Shepherdstown, WV, Richmond, VA, and Williamsburg, VA), a week-long family reunion cruise of the Caribbean, another week-long family reunion in the Wisconsin Dells (with lots of in-transit time in Ohio and Indiana), and my 7th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including side trips to Zion, Bryce, the Grand Canyon, etc). Ego strokes: I had a picture of Miss DC, Ashley Boalch, published in the Washington Post. I had a photograph of the George Segal San Francisco Holocaust memorial used as the cover of Quebec Francais (issue 165). Not being able to read French, I'm not entirely sure what the article is about but, hey! And I guess what could be considered to be a positive thing, my site is now established enough that spammers have noticed it and I had to block 17,000 file description postings for Viagra and whatever else.. Number of photos taken this year: just below 410,000.
