Nan Goldin
Born in Washington but lives and works in Paris, France.
She uses her close relationships as subjects.
Her and her friends lived hard in the 70s.
"The instant of photographing, instead of creating distance, is a moment of clarity and emotional connection for me."
"Not as a chronicle of the lives of others, but as "the diary I let people read.""
compulsion to record each day, exposes raw emotion.
devoted to chronicling the unscripted dramas in her and her friends' lives.
Her sister committed suicide and Nan ran away to cope, she ended up living at a commune.
The friends she made at the commune lasted a lifetime.
Her sister's death influence her career greatly.
Her desire for intimacy, respect for honesty, and a need to push limits define her artistic expression.
No limits! Real Life.
Finds beauty in the pain and crazy lives.
"I photograph out of love... and out of my idea of beauty and of desire. I don't allow myself to photograph out of the critical side of me."
Goldin is amazing. Her life is filled with so much pain, fun, death, and drugs. Her work is inspiring.

William Kentridge
Inspired by government issues in South Africa.
South African by birth.
Show outrageous details of apartheid.
Charcoal, blacks and whites (some blue and red).
Acute angles, skewed perspectives.
Even though he is white he relates to the victimization that South Africans went through because of the things his family went through.
His father was a prominent lawyer who defended victims of apartheid from the 1960s to the 1980s.
He was of Lithuanian and German Jewish decent.
He felt alienated and was enriched by his African birth and European decent.
Kept him from romanticizing his work.
used art, film, and theater.
Historic details are rendered in how much of an impact they have on human lives.
Perspective personalized psychological approach.
The film is trying to show that through not acting is just as bad as committing the crime.
The way he makes his films shows so much skill and dedication.
Using charcoal reflects real life, each mark is recorded forever making an impact.
Drawing is a slow motion version of thought.
