Mural, 1943 by Jackson Pollock


This painting by Jackson Pollock was created in 1943. I found this painting of all paintings the most fascinating. When I look a this AT FIRST you see lines and squiggles, colors, and then when you really start to look, from my opinion you can see bodies, faces, people connected. I found that these types of artwork are so brilliant because your not just giving someone a painting of general things, you are giving them  something to perceive on their own. Many people might not agree with me on what I see when I look at this painting, they may find something different, but that I feel is the beauty of this type of artwork. I look forward to seeing more of these and working on them in studio time.

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.

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.
