Romare Bearden


Romare Bearden was an cubist artist in the mid 1900s. He used the invention collage in Cubism and made it into his own form. His use of collage was very unique and he used different elements to make one piece. The collage that stood out to me the most was "The Family", created in 1948. I really enjoys this piece because he took different shapes and colors and made them into an abstract version of a family. If you look close at it, you can see two adults and the one on the left is holding a baby. He took his form of art and made it into a portrait of a family different then the average person's view of a family.

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.
