Description
Art By Committee Mur-ALL (2011), mixed media on canvas, 105 1/2 x 215, EXHIBITED: “Art House on the Levee”, Prospect 2, New Orleans, 2011-2012. Note: For this mural, New Orleans artist Robert Tannen enlisted the help of fellow artists, neighbors, friends and students to create a community piece for New Orleans’ celebrated exhibition Prospect.2. The canvas was hung in his and his wife, Jeanne Nathan’s recently acquired Holy Cross studio christened “The Art House on the Levee,” an artistic haven that also serves as a backdrop for local meetings. As Susan Langenhennig from The Times-Picayune reported: “Tannen provided the paint and stood back. He offered guidance, if asked, but no rules. Graffiti artists worked alongside folks with art school educations and kids used finger paints. One woman brought her infant daughter, dipped the child’s feet in the colors and painted with them…” Tori Bush, Dapper Bruce Lafitte, Clifton Webb, and “at least 30 other Committee Citizen Artists” all contributed to the piece. Ref.: Langenhennig, Susan. “The Artist’s Folly: Robert Tannen and Jeanne Nathan turn a double shotgun into a creative hub.” The Times-Picayune. Dec. 3, 2015.
