Western Disturbances


I watched Clown tourture, and it was not that emotional. But I suppose I wasn't in the room that it was being broadcast. I think if I was then I would not have been able to handle it.
Bruce Nauman worked when he was inspired. He would wait until inspiration stuck him. He played with his horses until that happened. He is quiet and observant.
His artwork is mostly disturbing, getting at human misery, and pain.
I believe his artwork is powerful but not beautiful. The only thing that is close to beauty is his fish fountains. But art is not all about beauty. It can be about thought.
