Solomon "Sol" LeWitt (September 9, 1928 – April 8, 2007) was an American artist linked to various movements, including Conceptual art and Minimalism.

LeWitt came to fame in the late 1960s with his wall drawings and "structures" (a term he preferred instead of "sculptures") but was prolific in a wide range of media including drawing, printmaking, photography, and painting. He has been the subject of hundreds of solo exhibitions in museums and galleries around the world since 1965.

Solomon "Sol" LeWitt (September 9, 1928 – April 8, 2007) was an American artist linked to various movements, LeWitt was born in Hartford, Connecticut to a family of Jewish immigrants from Russia. His mother took him to art classes at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford. After receiving a BFA from Syracuse University in 1949, LeWitt traveled to Europe where he was exposed to Old Master painting. Shortly thereafter, he served in the Korean War, first in California, then Japan, and finally Korea. LeWitt moved to New York City in 1953 and set up a studio on the Lower East Side, in the old Ashkenazi Jewish settlement on Hester Street. During this time he studied at the School of Visual Arts while also pursuing his interest in design at Seventeen magazine, where he did paste-ups, mechanicals, and photostats. In 1955, he was a graphic designer in the office of architect I.M. Pei for a year. Around that time, LeWitt also discovered the work of the late 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge, whose studies in sequence and locomotion were an early influence. These experiences, combined with an entry-level job as a night receptionist and clerk he took in 1960 at theMuseum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, would influence LeWitt's later work.

Andy Warhol

Andy Warhol an American Artist was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as Pop art. His work explored the relationship between artistic expression. Celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960's

Born : August 6th, 1928, Pitts bus-burgh, Pennsylvania, United States

Died: February 22, 1987, New York city, United States.

Media: Morden art, Pop art.

                               Marilyn

The stepping stone in to the face of Pop art.
by Changing the Perception of light and colour.

Starting off as a commercial illustrator, and a very successful one. Andy made his First appearance in the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962, Showing his "32 Campbell's soup cans". From a span of six years Andy Created his best work like the "Marilyn".

Influenced by an earlier artist, Monet. who painted the motif in series in order to display minute discriminations of perception, and also the shift of light and colour.

i Find that, this style of art began something new and that he was creating new ideas every now and then to fined himself. the art work itself i see Marilyn in different colour and like how he explored different colours and Gradients to the viewer.

                                     Beyonce

In the way Andy worked with the faces of celebrities and in the way of a commercial ad like "pepsi" for Beyonce. you can see how the effect of pop art is well combined in with the ad. with the bright colours, and lay out of different angels, with how the colour is layer throughout the image.

like both these art work i like them both extremely well and would love to use Andy Warhol as an artist model, but in a way of a new style i think with print, ( he might of used print)  and i love the colours in the image. i find this art work extremely fun to look at and feel likes fun.

its a win, win.

tbh, in the way of coulor i don't know what to feel?
so I'm just say fun:)

Claes Oldenburg

An American Sculptor, best known for his public art installations of very large replicas of every day objects.

Born : January 28th, 1929 (age 85) Stockholm, Sweden

Media : Morden art, Pop art.

                Giant Match sticks (couldn't find real name)

Claes plays with SCALE greatly leaving us viewers feeling like ant's in comprassion to his work.

Some people may have the feeling of, they don't know what to feel? 

or simply the question of, is this Art ?

He uses the enroiment to his advantage, making his art work larger then a building or a car. playing with scale like that i find extremely amazing because he's thinking outside the box.

I guest in a way i feel like his art brings smiles or laugher to the viewer. About something simple and plane, Tapping in to some kind of Memory relating to his art,  but in a sense of "WOW that is a big Match Stick though". 

                               Apple Core

Claes uses sculpture for his work. installations all over the city. and paints the his work to how is will look in really life but keeps it it nice and clean.

i would say that his work reminds me of anyone else's art work so i think that his work is his own and original. and i like to say he in prises me in a way of sculpture.
