Joseph James Nechvatal (born 15 January 1951) is a post-conceptual digital artist and art theoretician who creates computer-assisted paintings and computer animations, often using custom-created computer viruses. Joseph Nechvatal was born in Chicago. He studied fine art and philosophy at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Cornell University and Columbia University, where he studied with Arthur Danto while serving as the archivist to the minimalist composer La Monte Young. From 1979, he exhibited his work in New York City, primarily at Galerie Richard, Brooke Alexander Gallery and Universal Concepts Unlimited. He has also solo exhibited in Berlin, Paris, Chicago, Cologne, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Aalst, Belgium, Youngstown, Senouillac, Lund, Toulouse, Turin, Arles and Munich.

During that period he was associated with the artist group Colab and helped establish the non-profit cultural space ABC No Rio. In 1983 he co-founded the avant-garde electronic art music audio project Tellus Audio Cassette...

untitled (Double Portrait) — Mixed Media Collage by Rodolfo Morales

untitled (Double Portrait) — Mixed Media Collage by Rodolfo Morales

By Rodolfo Morales

Located in Palm Springs, CA

A vibrant and emotionally charged mixed-media collage by Rodolfo Morales (1925–2001), one of the central figures of the Oaxacan school alongside Rufino Tamayo and Francisco Toledo. Morales is celebrated for his dreamlike vision of village life, the female presence, and the thin, poetic line between the real and the magical. This unusual double portrait features two frontal figures—rendered in Morales’ signature palette of saturated reds, golds, and earth tones—set against a radiant background of foils, hearts, and patterned papers. The faces, both direct and expressive, seem to mirror each other while remaining psychologically distinct. Morales constructs them from layered paper, painted elements, and bits of lace and metallic foil, each detail contributing to an atmosphere that is both intimate and theatrical. The composition is framed by its original hand-punched tin (hojalata) frame, a hallmark of Morales’ mixed-media works. These frames were often designed in collaboration with local Oaxacan art...
