“My background is in painting but in school in the sixties, like many artists of that time, I believed that painting was dead. I began to work in collaboration with other artists in the creation of performances and installation works. Soon after, I started making video and photographic works and in the process became fascinated with the media itself. Before long I was setting things up just for the camera. In l970 I got a dog and he turned out to be very interested in video and photography as well.” WellsLongSchoolArtistProcessMediaDogCreationPaintingPhotographyPerformancesCamerasBackgroundsSettingVideoSettingsCollaborationFascinatedSixtyInstallation Author:William Wegman

“The dominant problem of pictorial art since the nineteen-fifties is photography, and, by extension, film and video. The basilisk eye of the camera has withered the pride of handworked mediums.
