In the reading, Robert Morris: Boustrophedons the author, Pepe Kermal begins by talking about the artist, Robert Morris, and his unique artistic style, and his most recent creation. Kermal then goes into the background of Robert Morris by discussing how Morris’s works have been constantly referencing art history all while consistently creating connections to victims of past violent acts of crime. The author then gives examples of other works Morris had created such as, Dark Passage, Out of the Past, The Big Sleep, Criss-Cross, and many more that have similar underlying themes but also use the same type of media. Pepe Kermal also went into detail about how consistent Robert Morris was when bringing symbolism into his art works and how he tends to pull out pieces of history and old art forms to help create a new very modern artistic style of his own.

Throughout the entirety of the reading, Robert Morris: Boustrophedons, by Pepe Kermal I have come to reflect on a lot of information that the author had given to myself. From the article, I have learned that the art world is constantly changing and reshaping old techniques and traditions. Many artists today often look back to past art forms and expressions to find
inspiration in their artworks today. For example, Robert Morris often looked back to modern art techniques, performance art, minimalism, and more. From the reading, I also enjoyed the fact that Robert Morris created art works and installations for victims of tragic events in history. I enjoyed this because I feel as though this forms a powerful stance on not only the artwork, but the artist as a person. Personally, I can relate to the artist in a way because my art typically resembles, past tragic events in my life. I can connect with this well because of the fact that we are both representing our darker emotions to create a different form of artistic expression.
