Diane Arbus


I find these pictures interesting because many of her photos depict not only wealthy people but also those marginalized in society. She gave all people a voice and showed the world the different faces of reality.

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.

The skulls take up most of the painting, and there is not much else surrounding them.
