Pablo Picasso paints using cubism, which may look very strange from first viewing but is much more visible when you see it as all the sides of a cube folded out, so instead of just seeing one angle of the face you can see all of the sides, which wouldnt even be visible from the original view point.
He used oil pastels to colour this piece in which I think worked well because it let the colours blend very easily with each other and gave a very bland colour which adds to the dreary atmopshere behind the image..
Joan Miro
Miros work is very abstract and surreal, he draws people like distorted stick men with different shapes intervening and colours in somewhat random places. In his work 'metamorphosis' he adds collage of mannequins dotted all over the image in circular and ovular shapes.
Charles Cohen
Charles Cohen is a photographer who cuts out the model from the background, and what youre left with is a white silhouette of where the model was which is very interesting when you see the persons shadow right behind them and his work is very original.
Salvador Dali
Dali is renowned as one of the most famous surreal artists, and this painting shows distorted limbs holding other limbs in the style of a king of building structure. I like Dali because each of his paintings could have intriquite hidden meanings behind themselves.
Lora Zombie
Lora Zombie uses water colours and mixes people with animals and generally has something 'exploding' out of something else, and she sticks to using a specific colour scheme for every picture, generally blue or black.She usually paints the water colours to be running down over the main image in multicolours too, allowing them to blend and create psychedelic patterns whilst the original background image stays visible.
Ron Mueck
Ron Mueck makes sulptures of people which from photographs look like normal people, however they are scaled on massive proportions and you only see the true impressiveness when you have something to compare them too. Mueck adds extraordinary details into his work so is extremely impressive even from up close.
