If you john lennon pics would like to reach the site webmaster, our email address. lennon art on the net pics came into existance in june of 1994. the idea of having such a site came to lile while she was involved in an open studios event in april. she was displaying many john lennon pics of her new oil paintings in her studio when a friend and young entrepeneur came lennon through and wanted to purchase an oil painting entitled "art on the net". they talked about how wonderful it would be to have art up on the internet for viewing and he offered lile internet access for a www site that would help artists share their art. so like many things in the art world, the site began with a barter with lile trading the oil painting, "art on the net" for an internet connection for one year. one thing after another explores the relationship of printmaking to the proliferation of serial imagery in the contemporary period. classic serial print projects from pop art and minimalism are juxtaposed with works from 1980s and 1990s. artists included range from andy warhol, roy lichtenstein, ellsworth kelly, and brice marden to rosemarie trockel, john armleder, yukinori yanagi, and anish kapoor. pop and after juxtaposes major works of the 1960s by american and european artists, which focus on mass media and the iconography of consumer culture, with works by younger creators of the 1980s and 1990s that extend and twist the stylistic and social concerns of pop art. artists pics included range from andy warhol, claes oldenburg, and roy lichtenstein to jeff koons, david hammons, and john damien hirst. our studio grew out of maurel press originated in 1955 by artists sheila and ary marbain. it opened as a custom screen printing shop specializing in printing with contemporary artists. sheila had studied art at black mountain college in north carolina with joseph albers, ilya bolotowsky and william dekooning from 1948 through 1950. ary had worked and exhibited as a painter in france for many years. after the sudden lennon death of ary marbain in 1963, the studio was closed for a year. sheila then decided to modernize the workshop and introduce screen photography along with a new vacuume printing table. our studio reopened on 23rd street in manhattan. with an assistant, sheila plunged pics into printing three dimensional objects. a plexiglass airship for lichtenstein, an oldenburg soft drum set, a set of dominoes with fahlstrom, and a large fabric banner with marisol were some of the editions.
