Robert Magginetti’s work.

Robert Magginetti

I like Robert Magginetti’s work. A lot of it reminds me of traditional collages that I cut my teeth on. Some of his work comes from black and white photography in 1940s and 50s magazines. These pictures are in many ways already collages. They are set pieces and not photographs randomly taken. The collages are also collections of individual photos (or parts of photos) pasted together. There is no attempt to manipulate the images themselves. And they are commentaries. Of the culture, the ideas, and the life of those times.

Ken Anbender

Ken Anbender’s work is wonderful. There is plenty of variety and his use of colour and form is fantastic. At first glance some of the collages seem like surreal paintings but on closer look you can see the cuts. This looks to me like mostly cut and paste. I always read the artist’s statement and come away a little bewildered. They sound so high minded. Mr. Anbender’s is no different. But his work is terrific stuff. And my mother who talked a bit like Stan Laurel used to say ‘if you can’t say something nice about a fellow, don’t say anything at all.’
