Roman signer seems strangely overlooked in the history of Western Art. Though Signer was non a major figure in any of the major movements of the ago 50 years, his work stands testament to a rich vocation that has blurred the lines between sculpture, video, performance and actions. Perhaps it is the subtle complexity of his works that allows people to pass him over or the perseveration of his focus on the work rather than his own image. For some(prenominal) reason, it was not until last year (2006) that I was introduced to Signer and it was not until last year that I was truly inspired for the starting time since high school by a optic artists work.
Signer was born in 1938 in Appenzell, Switzerland (Roman Signer, Artnet). He had a simple education but the reserve of his familys wealth allowed a certain amount of freedom. As a child he would take walks with his father in the mountains and was allowed to play in his grandfathers metal fink where they built some crazy things, (Bosch, Mack, Miller, 8). Signer, however, did not want to move an artist at an early age:
I grew up in Appenzell, Switzerland, it was a very simple village in those days.
We did have one or two artists painters, of course and I was quite interested in them, but I ruling they were higher beings, and I dont have their talent for painting. When I was a child I thought I might be a pilot or an adventurer, or Id discover things or be explorer. I could draw well at school. But as I say, I didnt want to be an artist, (Bosch, Mack, Miller, 8).
After flunk at jobs and internships as a radio technician and architecture draughtsman, Signer became seriously ill from an asthma attack. He drew, read books and went to exhibitions in the time he spent recuperating (Bosch, Mack, Miller, 11). After this, he resumed works as an architects draughtsman, but then go to the School of Design in Lucerne for sculpture....If you want to beat up a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
