bodyRobert Forman
Forman began making yarn paintings in 1969 while still in high school. He thought he had invented the technique. In college at The Cooper Union Forman kept his yarn painting to himself. His professors preferred his drawings to his paintings. Jack Whitten, Forman’s painting professor, asked his class what they did during vacation. Forman volunteered that he was working on a project that wasn't exactly painting. After visiting his studio Whitten told Forman to stick to yarn and that he would consider them paintings. Seeing a yarn painting at a Greenwich Village flea market Forman discovered that yarn painting was a traditional art form among the Wixarika (Huichol) people of Mexico. A Fulbright Fellowship enabled Forman to travel to Mexico and meet fellow yarn painters. Forman has maintained his relationship with fellow yarn painters both by returning to Mexico regularly and by hosting Wixarika artists in his home.
