Reflection on the image of the Artist

For this week's submission, I focused my research on another congruent point of my interest - the image of artists, in particular, female artists.

I had a conversation with a friend about how an artist should style and present him/herself.

Clothes and presentation and image makes the first impression, which is important in setting the conditions and tone for the rest of the relationship. And subsequently, profile shots are important, especially in this digital age.

It's interesting thus, thinking about the though process of artists and how they chose to present themselves in the way they did.

Additionally, for the artists, the viewer's impression has another layer of effect, that is, on their expectations of the artist's works. If an artist dresses very conservatively, and thus, those give an impression that her work is very conservative - will then to disappoint audiences who look to her for that kind of art. The artist's image, has thus, become something like a book cover for her repertoire of work.

In the end, I don't know what I should contrive to dress like. There's a saying, don't dress for the job that you  have, but dress for the job that you want. But truth be told, I don't know what that's like until this weeks' research... that is, artists, usually wear black or white.

It was not easy to access the image of this artist. To put in crudely, it seems like images of her works travel faster and further than the images of the artist itself.
