Eva Mantell's Top Ten Favorite Artworks About Water
Since we're on the subject of water, I thought i'd send in my top ten
list of favorite artworks about water, starting in the bathtub, going
out to the open sea and ending up on the kitchen counter:
10) Jacques-Louis David, The Death of Marat
9) Frida Kahlo, What Water Gave Me
8) Suzanne Valadon, Drawings of her son after the bath
7) Gericault, Raft of the Medusa
6) Minoan mosaics/frescoes of dolphins
5) Minoan Jars with Painted Octopus
4) Henri Matisse, Goldfish
3) Andy Goldsworthy's icicles
2) David Hammons' snowballs
1) Harold Edgerton, photo, Milk Drop Coronet

frankly, i have never understood the appeal of andy goldsworthy except for the conceptual aspect of it. "the death of marat" is indeed a beautiful piece of art, as is the film "marat/sade" which features the guy who played "the author" (i.e. anthony burgess) in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE playing sade. other good water paintings include those by john waterhouse (no pun intended) which no doubt were considered retrograde even in their own time but which are oddly appealing nonetheless.
I guess I understand from a certain perspective that Andy Goldsworthy might not seem cool and I think it might have to do with the neatness/postcard/success problem that he has! But, I defend him because I still love the 70's, and that backpacking spirit of going out and working in the landscape, as well as his unique ability to get something out of nothing. When he lay down on a rock in Central Park in the rain and then got up after it stopped raining to leave an imprint of his body I know that it worked for me!
