Modern Art *^.^*


Modern art consist of many different styles but the style I'm going to focus on is abstract expressionism. These types of paintings are far from realistic. If anything they become a physcal form of feelings from the artist applying the paint. These artist use huge canvas and use a wide varitiy of colors to the feeling they wish to show.

The First artist i'm going to talk about is William de Kooning. He is an amazing painter through many of his pieces have violent brush strokes giving a harash yet interesting composition to look at. I personally love his pieces since he changed the way to show woman on canvas. Abstract expressionism makes you think about the piece you see and try to figure out watch the artist was trying to get the viewer to see.

The next artisti'm going to talk about is Jackson Pollock. At first i didn't like his work. I thought that anyone with a paint brush can throw paint on to a over size canvas. But we watched a movie and showed how he mst likey would have painted his paintings and i thought it was interesting. Though Pollock seems a little crazy so ho his paintings were kind of shows his craziness in my opinon.
