Playing emcee on the microphone, with photographer Terry Richardson and his team securing the show’s only visual documentation, Ford announced each look as it came down the runway worn by one of the many actresses, artists, models, musicians, socialites, and muses the designer had personally chosen to walk in the show—among them, Julianne Moore, Beyoncé Knowles, Daphne Guinness, Lou Doillon, Lauren Hutton, Karen Elson, Marisa Berenson, Natalia Vodianova, and Stella Tennant.

This is a weird moment .

It had to do with this little, like . [CURRIN: Yeah, he’s like Conan the Barbarian.

.

It was a group of people who escaped Europe because they felt it was depraved in a certain way, and that culture still permeates.

Recently, Francis suggested that Currin should return to the kind of unfussy, opaque painting he was doing back in the ’90s.


LESS APPROACHABLE than it WAS in the ’70s. “My parents were actually involved in those paintings,” he realized.

I detach the two. .

Why am I living?

.CURRIN: Yeah, like a suction yarmulka thing that goes on the kid’s head—which always blows my mind because everybody’s always yelling about how you have to support your child’s head because their necks are very weak. That was on purpose, because a lot of people equate homosexuality with sex and not necessarily with love. Lack of narrative depresses me.

. The boys are now adolescents; their sister is 10. Wyndham Lewis’s book CURRIN: Yeah, it’s like being alive. But it doesn’t overpower my first impulse; my lust for them is the same as my lust for beauty in all things. I’m obsessive about that. There was this one redhead at Carnegie Mellon who was great-looking, andat Yale there were fantastic-looking models.

Well, it’s like, “Uh-uh!” [O’BRIEN: I have a big ridge in my head from the forceps. Twitter Facebook Email To Pinterest.

[CURRIN: It must be terrible in magazines, because magazines are all about exuberance.

It’s a brighter color. [O’BRIEN: Well, Le Corbusier is represented as an idealist, but he was invited by Mussolini in ’34.CURRIN: There is a fascination with violence and power in all modernism, and I sort of saw classic modernism as being more similar toWyndham Lewis than to the Renaissance.

I had made a drawing of her long before that, when I was making abstract paintings.CURRIN: And I remembered that drawing of Bea Arthur, and I found a picture of her, and I kind of copied and generalized that picture into a Soviet portrait of Bea Arthur, her eyes being black circles, and then I thought the breasts would be . [CURRIN: I think at around the same time I saw some Francis Bacons and [Willem] de Kooning stuff as well—you know, contemporary art.O’BRIEN: I saw a documentary about Jack Levine and they asked him what made him want to become an artist, and he said that he found out you could draw naked women and get paid for it! Another big realization for me was: Just don’t do things that depress you.

But it was kind of gradual, because in my high school, there was certainly no acknowledgement that you could become an artist or anything like that.O’BRIEN: When I was in high school, the idea of becoming an artist was that you could go work for CURRIN: Oh, yeah.

Not just bad drawing, not just low-quality drawing—but really, really shitty drawing, really terrible drawing. . There was a criticism of—I think it was Richard Serra—about Picabia.

John Currin (born 1962) is an American painter based in New York City.He is best known for satirical figurative paintings which deal with provocative sexual and social themes in a technically skillful manner. I’m sorry, I don’t understand why our culture both worships and objectifies beauty, and then slams those of us who participate in it.

In interviews both Feinstein and Currin have commented on sexism in the art world. She always had the latest things.
