This review is from: George Segal: American Still Life (DVD)
This video is quite good in general. I'm an art teacher and have been thinking about having my students do some sculptures inspired by Segal's work. The video shows him at work, and was very enlightening about the details of his method/technique for wrapping his models with the plaster gauze. I've always wondered how he dealt with the clothing on the sculptures. He actually wraps the plaster gauze right around the individual garments and folds of the model's clothes as the model is wearing them. Surprisingly, it didn't totally destroy the model's clothes! On another piece (a woman bending forward at the waist), if you look carefully, you can see that he has put aluminum foil over the top of her head and her hair to protect it. Really cool-- this is lessening at least some of my concerns about trying to do this in class. I think, though, that we'll just start with some arms/hands and see how it goes, and take it from there. If you like Segal's work, you will enjoy this video.
