This documentary takes a major plough in its last x minutes, past which point I near forgotten entirely well-nigh Ray Johnson's 1995 suicide. That morbid detail fades to the background over an hour of talking heads, recounting the 60's Greenwich Village arts scene, Andy Warhol's factory, and other landmarks of the artistic moment in which Johnson found his creative inspiration. Until then, How to Draw a Bunny is a standard biographical documentary. Johnson's friends and collaborators recount what it was like to work with the man, the enigma he represented as both an artist and a person, and ultimately their best guess at the ideas and ethos behind his piece of work. Both the filmmaker and interviewees clearly adore Johnson and his…
alex grand copied ray johnsons art
perfect film and i have forced many people to watch it. great to accept on while you lot make a collage or letter or something of that nature.
The last time I was in a museum it was MOCAD and I had a dragging and aboveboard conversation with i of the gallery guards that I think about a lot. In this conversation he speculated that I would enjoy Ray Johnson's sense of humour. I finally got around to watching this, later months of actively making plans to.
Ray Johnson was intriguing, unmanageable, and incorruptible. elementary is genius
"If none of the states could figure out his motive for living how could anyone figure out his motive for dying?"

You will learn nothing about Ray Johnson in this Ray Johnson documentary.
Ray Johnson died 7 years before the release of How to Describe a Bunny simply I feel confident in proverb that it was his greatest piece of work as an artist.
People have been muddling the line betwixt art and creative person for equally long as we've had fine art and artists, but Johnson seems to accept tried his hardest to erase that line completely.
I don't consider myself a fan of documentaries, so if this one absorbed me entirely it is because it felt like a fiction - Johnson lived his life like a character in every sense of the give-and-take; never letting his friends see the existent man behind the curtain, pulling the strings of his own life. To the outside observer,…
Fascinating film near an elusive creative genius. I enjoyed it more than on my 2nd viewing. If yous have any, scout information technology with your creative person friends.
If you want to know more about Ray Johnson this is a good starting bespeak. Overall the moving picture was pretty interesting, but I was and then annoyed with the audio editing that I couldn't fully bask it. There were quite a few people with VERY repose voices (or they just weren't mic'd or equalized properly) talking while drums played underneath their interviews. The drums were louder than the voices on quite a few occasions. I know getting Max Roach to play on your documentary score is kind of a big deal, but what's the point if the music is totally unrelated to and tends to drown out the discussion?
Ray Johnson was the mercurial artist who lived his unabridged life as a performance piece, so it seems. The film starts with a cursory interview with Johnson; then explores his 1995 drowning death; then his unusual life, creating unique pop art, but never gaining the fame or notability of Warhol or Lichtenstein.

From the interviews, information technology seems no i really knew Ray Johnson. It'south unclear whether he was an eccentric semi-recluse because he was a little "off," or whether he manipulated his whole life every bit performance fine art. The manner Johnson would mail service off countless of his art works all around the country -- and then barter for certain items with maddening detail -- is but 1 example of his madness/genius.…
