Franz Marc, Deer in the Forest


 Franz Marc created Deer in the Forest in 1913/1914, and was an oil on canvas painting. The painting had many defining features due to the intensity of colors. Colors like the red, green, blue, yellow and even black. The painting had a doubled theme of deer and landscape. I love this painting because at first glimpse it is only a ray of colors then turns into something more. Franz Marc was a German painter and printmaker. Most of his paintings was in the style of Expressionism. I loved how he defined his paintings,

 "I try to intensify my sensitivity for the organic rhythm of all things; I seek pantheist empathy with the vibration and flow of the blood of nature-in the trees, in the animals, in the air . . . I see no happier medium for the 'Animalization' of art, as I would like to call it, than the animal picture." 
I believe this does represent what most of his paintings really are.

L.H.O.O.Q - 1919

This is a painting known as L.H.O.O.Q, and was painted by Marcel Duchamp. The reason I chose this painting is because I like how it has a different feeling than the Mona Lisa, even though it is not much different from the actual original painting. I believe Duchamp made this just to have fun being immature with paintings that have been considered sophisticated for many years.

White Wave Jackson Pollock

I really like the colors used. it like blues of every shade swirled into one work of art. every shade imaginable all in one, blue blue of the sea mixed with the blue of a sky.the blues merged into a wave to hug a sphere almost as if the sea kissed the moon. yellows and whites spewing from the moon into a mass of purples and magenta. i wonder why the drizzle of orange was chosen to solidify it all.

Lito Mayo

Lito Mayo was a Filipino  artist since the 1970's. I love the creativity in this painting,  Self-Portrait of Lio Mayo made in 1981. He was not known as a Dada artist but they considered his work to be apart of the Dada movement. He was offically known as a  Filipino graphic artist, print-maker, avantegarde poet, social activist, sculptor, satirist, and art professor. He spent a lot of time in museums working on art pieces before moving into his offical career as an artist.
