Ray Johnson

To me, Ray Johnson is the perfect example of making art for the sake of making art. I feel as though he just wanted to create for himself. He would create these little collages and mail them to his friends, then asking them to send them on. I appreciate how he wasn't so concerned with selling all of his pieces, but more about just sharing art with his friends and friends of friends, just for the sake of art. My favorite pieces that they showed in the movie were the portraits of his friend. I really enjoyed how he came to his friend to make a portrait and then came back with an abundant of collages that some might not be considered a portrait.
