Jackson Pollack Mural 1943


This painting is called Mural by American artist Jackson Pollack done in 1943. This painting was done during and is classified as an Abstract Expressionism Art piece. You can tell this is abstract expressionism because this painting simply does not create a specific 'thing'- such as a portrait or a landscape. This painting consists of lines that vary in width and color. Accompanying the strokes are some blotches of paint as if he splattered it on by flicking a paint brush. What is so fascinating about abstract art is that it can be interrupted in many ways, I believe more so than 'normal art.' With that being said I did research and these are not just random strokes of paint on a canvas. This painting suggests that there are several human figures walking or possibly birds or letters and numbers with broken swirls of various colors.

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.
