Men's rights
The right to be vulnerable
The right to be weak
The right to be wrong
The right to be intuitive
The right not to know
The right to be uncertain
The right to be flexible
The right not to be ashamed of any of these
Grayson Perry
Grayson Perry (British, 1960), Untitled, c.1990. Glazed earthenware, 15 x 18 in.
Sir Grayson Perry
Sir Grayson Perry is a British artist , drag performer , broadcaster and writer. Most well known for his ceramic vases and tapestries. I've been following perry's career for a while as he is one of my mother's favourites, we even watched his show during covid 'grayson perry's art club'.
I chose to write about Perry because of his work on his childhood teddy bear, the famous Alan Measles. Alan measles was given to Perry for his first Christmas and has acted like a sacred god to Perry ever since. In the book 'Grayson Perry updated and expanded by Jacky Klein 2013' it is said that Perry suffered a bad childhood due to his step father and that his bear acted like a surrogate father to him. Ever since then Alan measles has featured in his work.

Au Louvre-Lens, une nouvelle expo : "S'habiller en Artiste. L'Artiste et le Vêtement" :
Ici, uniquement : Grayson Perry - "Robe de l'Artiste" et "High Priestess Cape " (son costume de Claire, son personnage Drag, aux jolis petits oise... ah? Non, ce ne sont pas des oiseaux... Enfin, si, d'une certaine manière...)
we went to see the Grayson Perry exhibition at the local museum, and found ourselves wanting to take photos of parts of things - including the multivector pinspot shadows
