Nutt, Johnny / Home

	MR. NUTT, at the wheel!
HOWDY! My name is Mr. Nutt, and I am the teacher for Modern Art History and Ceramics here at TLH! In addition to being a high school Art teacher, I have also been a working potter/ceramic artist for 30+ years. For additional info about Modern Art History of Ceramics, please visit the web pages for each class. “What I have in mind is that art may be bad, good or indifferent, but... whatever adjective is used, we must call it art, and bad art is still art in the same way that a bad emotion is still an emotion.” ― Marcel Duchamp Note to new students: Want to know a little something about me, and what I value, what I like, in Art? Check it out- Joseph Turner The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons 1835 Oil on canvas Georges Seurat Sketch of a Girl 1886 Crayon on paper Piet Mondrain The Grey Tree 1912 Oil on canvas Kay Sage Margin of Silence 1942 Oil on canvas Robert Rauschenberg Black Market 1961 Oil, watercolor, pencil, paper, fabric, newspaper, printed paper, printed reproductions, wood, metal, tin, and four metal clipboards on canvas with rope, rubber stamp, ink pad, and various objects in wood valise randomly given and taken by viewers I had been working purely abstractly for so long, it was important for me to see whether I was working abstractly because I couldn't work any other way, or whether I was doing it out of choice. - Robert Rauschenberg Andy Warhol Electric Chair 1967 Silk screen ink on synthetic polymer paint on canvas We went to see "Dr. No" [the first James Bond film, 1962] at Forty-Second Street. It's a fantastic movie, so cool. We walked outside and somebody threw a cherry bomb right in front of us, in this big crowd. And there was blood. I saw blood on people and all over. I felt like I was bleeding all over. I saw in the paper last week that there are more people throwing them - it's just part of the scene - and hurting people. My show in Paris is to be called 'Death in America'. I'll show the 'Electric-chair' pictures and the Dogs in Birmingham and car wrecks and some suicide pictures. -Andy Warhol, 1962 Peter Voulkos Pinatubo Ceramic ca. 1957 “Technique is probably the most difficult tool to master, because it is a necessity but can easily become an obsession. Nothing can drown out new ideas as an obsession with technique. Technique is nothing if you have nothing to say.” -Peter Voulkos Egon Schiele Self Portrait 1912 Oil on canvas Edvard Munch Self Portrait in Hell 1903 Oil on Canvas Gustav Klimt Adele Bloch-Bauer 1907 Oil and Gold Leaf on Canvas Franz Marc Fighting Forms 1914 Oil on canvas John Salt Purple Impala 1973 Oil on canvas Leonora Carrington Creation of the Birds 1957 Oil on canvas PEOPLE LOOKING AT ART IN GALLERIES
