The Yellow Cow -1911

Franz Marc is one of my favorite artists so far. I love his use of color throughout the piece. When I researched The Yellow Cow, 1911 it said that this piece was a tribute to his second marriage to Maria Franck. The cow was supposed to represent the safety he felt within their union. His use of warm tones elicits a positive feelings. Even as the bull rears in the image the colors make the viewer feel safe. I truly love his detail. In the background the mountains over look the bull and the sky is perfectly colored for a sunset. Franz Marc truly expresses his wants throughout each piece with his diversity of color choices.

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.
