"Yes, but is it art?" a talk by Will Bullas
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Monterey Museum of Art
(see times)
From the cave paintings at Lescaux, to Duchamps’ Fountain, to Will Bullas’ Duck Tape, viewers have asked, “is it art?” Bullas will answer the question during this journey through his own images that he says are “from sublime to stupid”, with notable is-it-art? encounters and anecdotes. He is known for being a master of one-liners, which add to his award-winning artistic skills and hilarious point of view, resulting in a refreshing and unexpected new way to enjoy fine art. He promises his audience will leave with a smile.
Will Bullas, a.w.s., n.w.s., k.a. was born in Ohio in 1949. After returning from combat duty in Vietnam, he studied with master painter Ray Strong at the Institute of Fine Arts in Santa Barbara, California. Bullas is a signature member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. He was elected to membership with the Knickerbocker Artists of New York in 1986, and is a past president and continuing member of the Carmel Art Association.
Bullas has exhibited twice with the National Academy of Design in New York. In 2007. He received the Mario Cooper and Dale Meyers Medal from the American Watercolor Society for his contributions to watercolor.
