Christo and Jeanne-Claude—Surrounded Islands 1983


Christo and Jeanne-Claude—Surrounded Islands 1983

This blows my mind! This artist had all of this fabric sewn together to put around 11 different islands on top of the water. This kind of thing is what should stand out the most, something that has never been done before. Something that is mind blowing and catches people’s eyes, something that makes you look twice. This definitely made me look more than once and I just love this. I want to know how the artist came up with his idea. This kind of thing makes me think, how in the world did he thing to cover islands with pink fabric for his art. He didn’t use a small canvas, he used the natural world and made it his own. So fascinating!
Michael Jackson was a big hit and icon in the 80s and although that seems to have absolutely nothing to do with his art piece, I think music always correlates with art in some way. He was a new fresh thing! He was like no one before him, just like this art piece. They both went at art in a new and different way and that is what made them great.
