Joan Tallan Artist Statement I am a people watcher. I observe the people I work with, play with, and see in the media. I am fascinated by the episodes that make up their lives. Portraying people at their activities, from memory, life, or with the help of photos forms the content of most of my work. I also love flowers. I have a garden, but that is second to people. The wood of a woodcut, and the copper and acid of intaglio influences the line and movement of the composition. W.H. Auden wrote: To me, art's subject is the human play And landscape but a background to torso Cézanne's apples I would give away For a small Goya or a Daumier | |||||||||
