Some are politically outspoken; some just want to create beauty. This week, Chinese cartoonist and activist Badiucao is the latest artist to appear on the broadcast.
Every once in a while, an artist creates work so bold that it makes the world—and"60 Minutes"—stop and take notice.
Art of all types has been a cornerstone of 60 Minutes' reporting over the broadcast's 54 seasons. Here, take a look back at some of the other artists whose work"60 Minutes" has featured. Calling Mark Bradford a painter is a bit of a misnomer. His large artworks may look like paintings, but there is hardly any paint on them. Instead, they are made from layers and layers of paper, which he tears, glues, power washes, and sands in a style all his own.
Because he uses his art to make a statement about society, Bradford told Cooper he does not care about staying popular within the art world. As Williams reported, Ai is one of the most successful contemporary artists in the world. He's a designer, sculptor, photographer and blogger who has earned fans by using his art to ridicule authorities and make social statements. Turning his focus to the plight of refugees in recent years, Ai made an installation from the discarded clothes and shoes left by those fleeing to Europe. He filled a pond at a museum in Vienna with migrants' life jackets.
To make a statement about shattering the Communist Party's official version of history, Chinese artist Ai Weiwei doused ancient Chinese urns in bright paint.French photographer JR may not be immediately recognizable, either in image or name, but his giant photographs probably are—they've appeared in some 140 countries around the world. Like Ai and Bradford, JR wants his art to make a statement with his oversized photographs of everyday people.
