Critical Expressive
Vincent Van Gogh was born in Brabant, Holland in 1853. His 'bizarre' sense of colour disallowed his access to any art school. It was however this unique 'impressionism' that made his work so popular and valuable to this very day. Van Gogh moved to Paris later on in his life to join his brother Theo. Theo and Van Gogh were always close friends; he always encouraged and inspired him. It was in Paris that Van Gogh started to substitute the dark tones in favour of pure primary and secondary colours. He also began to use a technique known as 'impasto': paint applied thickly without any hesitation. After two years in Paris, during which he painted over 200 pictures, Van Gogh moved to Arles in the south of France where he joined Paul Gauguin, one of his close friends. The tension between the two artists became too strong for them to continue working in the same presence as one another. It was due to this that Gauguin later announced to move back to Paris. A while after the statement Gauguin found himself being followed by Van Gogh whom was making gestures with a razor blade. He returned to the 'yellow house' where he and Van Gogh lived that following morning to find that Van Gogh had been taken to hospital after cutting off part o
One of Mach's concerns was the overproduction and consumption of materials and resources by western society. He also mixed bees wax with his oil paints to create the thickness of the painting. The background of the portrait is a bright blue, which contrasts with the blue on her eyelids. He also entered into rock and roll music production with the Velvet Underground. David Mach continues to produce his unique works of art for the art lovers of tomorrow. It also helps bring out other facial features that are not as recognizable on the previous sculpture. In his face and clothes he continues to harmonise with the colour green, which in my opinion creates an overall confused mood that he was in at that point in his life. Warhol has used an extremely bright, abstract yellow for her hair. By analysing the painting in more detail, I can see that he has painted a 'wet on wet' method, by the way the dark tones on his jacket blend in with its neighbouring colour. I think the name of the portrait also helps emphasize that these 'roots' are in fact 'Close to the Bone'. One of Andy Warhol's most famous pieces of work is 'Marilyn', which was screen-printed on canvas. She was a former founder and sole member of SCUM (Society for Cutting up Men). Marilyn Monroe's head is centred in the image to draw the viewer's attention to her world-renowned face. His early film works starting in 1963 were experimental and novel with somewhat dull contents, for example, an eight-hour film of a man sleeping. By painting bright background colours, eyebrows, lips and hair, he transferred silkscreen photographs on top.
