Glass Tears; Man Ray



This simple, but meaningful piece of art, known as Glass Tears is part of the DADA movement in 1932. Man Ray took this photograph, representing his interest in cinematic narrative. I chose this artwork because I enjoyed how the eyes expressed such a great deal of emotion. When I came across this image, I immediately noticed the level of distress this girl is feeling. The direction of her eyes makes me wonder what she looking at. I especially appreciated the eyelashes coated with mascara and the large teardrops resting below her eyes. After researching, I found that Ray created this artwork after his break up with Lee Miller. This is one of his many artworks representing their break up.

This is a painting known as L.H.O.O.Q, and was painted by Marcel Duchamp.

I believe Duchamp made this just to have fun being immature with paintings that have been considered sophisticated for many years.

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.
