In a new series, frieze invites artists to present a series of images that are important to them
Jack Smith, Untitled, c.1958-62/2011
As both a filmmaker and an artist, Jack Smith understood the importance of every single element that contributed to his work, however small, and was unwaveringly dedicated to the visual. Over the years it is something that has given me great strength and trust in my own creation of imagery.
Other artists that have been key to my practice for similar reasons are Derek Jarman, Jean-Luc Godard, Federico Fellini and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, to name but a few.
The fourth part of Grace Schwindt’s ‘Portfolio’ will be available tomorrow.
