Here
was something I wrote on the back of my only remaining copy of this
piece; I think I wrote this in 2K1:
There's
no "untitled" parts one or two. I just liked the way this
one sounded. It also sounds a little phony to me, when something
is named like this. If something is untitled, then why bother to
point it out? And then to number it? What kind of self-absorbed,
pretentious b.s. is that?!
Most
artists today just title their paintings this way because it's how
they were taught, and, well, it's easy. You don't need to be creative
with a title. You just need to count the inventory.
Nobody
ever assigned a stupid serial number to a portrait. What if the
Mona Lisa was "Untitled Abstraction Color Theory #302.145"?
Zzzz....Please don't name your kids this way.
Don't
call it untitled number three or twelve or ten thousand. If you're
that hard up for titles, just give it a name. Call it "Fred,"
or "Barney," or "Wilma." Whatever rocks your
world. |
