Manet's Les Dejeuner Sur L'herbe


This painting was painted by Manet which was considered to be a French painting. Many different things are happening but the main thing that would probably stand out to many people is the naked woman causally eating lunch with two dressed men. She seems to be the most important role in this painting since she is looking right at us while the men are looking away. On the side, you can see food in a basket and her clothing to the side. This might be a sign of what her usual job is since she doesn't seem ashamed.

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.
