learn more about the artists during this time period, what inspired them to create these pieces, and why/how were these sculptures influential for future artist. The artists who’s art most interest me were Pablo Picasso and Auguste Rodin. I was amazed to see that an artist such as Picasso was not only part of the modern sculpture period, but also created distinct forms of art throughout his life. In fact, he incorporated cubism into his modern sculptures. Rodin on the other hand, maintained traditional

one but yourself? Pablo Picasso and Zaha Hadid were two of the most successful artists within the modernist movement. Both Picasso and Hadid laid the foundation for their success with a strong educational background. Each artist understood their sheer talent and works would not contribute to their succession alone. Picasso and Hadid sought the importance of defining one’s brand on a global scale. Building a connection between a consumer and their product, both Picasso and Hadid knew that their

Lucy Keeler is an Australian, multi-award winning painter who produces contemporary oil portraits. She also works in projection, production design and animation and has worked in this way in theatre and cultural events for ten years now. Her work has been an influence on my artwork since the start of the production of my portfolio of art. Her use of people as her subject matter, her love of texture and the detailed way in which she interprets an image and produces a piece that is both beautiful

The Abduction of Rebecca illustrates a scene from the bible, where the heroine Rebecca is being kidnapped. Rebecca is being hoisted upon a manic horse in motion by two people. The dramatic intensity of the painting is reflected in the background where a town appears to ablaze depicted by the smoke rising and the embers of flame.

Barcelona has for centuries been a center for intellect, with a substantial cultural heritage. Towards the end of the Spanish civil war the city underwent a dramatic change. Following the war was a rapid growth in economic development, industrialization and an abundance of new technological advances. Keeping Barcelona ahead of other inland cities was the advantage of being a port. New possibilities opened up as the American colonies opened up the trade with Spain. The revolution made for a perfect

the Constructivism movements. Two artists that greatly contributed to the De Stijl movement were Picasso and Braque. Their paintings helped in defining “a vocabulary of geometric forms”, while still using the elements of the real world. Another very important contributor to the De Stijl movement was Piet Mondrian.

As I was walking through the museum I noticed many different portraits but this one stuck out a lot because of how the girls in the picture are all in different areas of the portrait and the fact that it has a much more mysterious vibe to it. Sargent depicts four daughters; two of which are standing between two large fancy porcelain vases, one

As a learning artist, I always search for others who share the idea that art is more than what lies on a picture plane. One artist, in particular, has drawn my attention since I was young and he is a self-taught artist named Guy Dennings. While taking the hearts of thousands of others with his various media that range from pastel on newsprint to Conte crayon on paper; he has also captured my imagination with these emotional creations. Guy Dennings was born in England on October 1965. As a young
