Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his bold, graphic and emotionally raw imagery. Bacon's painterly but abstracted figures typically appear isolated in glass or steel geometrical cages set against flat, nondescript backgrounds. He began painting during his early 20s and worked only sporadically until his mid-30s. Before this time he drifted, earning his living as an interior decorator and designer of furniture and rugs. Later, he admitted that his career was delayed because he had spent too long looking for a subject that would sustain his interest.^[2] His breakthrough came with the 1944 triptych Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion, and it was this work and his heads and figures of the late 1940s through to the mid 1950s that sealed his reputation as a notably bleak chronicler of the human condition.

Damien Hirst on Francis Bacon

'He's one of the greatest painters of all time'

I m very impressed by the works of Francis Bacon. there are different points why.

if we are talking about the meaning of his works i could say that the idea of the different reality inside of the normal one makes the art work completely different. It is hard to analyze the feelings which are inside his works. He use some historical moments from the history not only europe and destroyed them and changed using colour

Stefan Zsaitsits

The Austrian born artist has been sketching out a sizable collection of these images over the last year… this being his fourth installment of figure based work. His head based images have been featured in his 2010-2011 german language book, Headsongs, as well as in, Der Hals der Sängerin, a recent book of four short stories by the austrian writer Barbara Frischmuth. You can find out more about Stefan Zsaitsits and his work at zsaitsits.com.

I am very impressed by his works. As for me, it is a unique example of the force of the simple lines. In his portraits you can feel the feelings of the character and no doubt they work.

I really enjoy the way he changed the "reality" of the portraits. I really enjoy the way he do this works: paper and pencil.

all genius is easy

Alexandr Kosolapov

Alexandr Kosolapov is named as an example of russian social art. He is still working in USA and all this works have the social undertone. Of course, an incident with his work which was destroyed by unknown crazy lover of God, gives a lot of success for the Kosolapov.

The social resonance is only criterion of the success.

He use 2 of 3D works. SHIT I NEED TO WRITE IT ONCE AGAIN BECAUSE SAFARI + WIFI DESTROY ALL MY TEXT
In his posters there is the mixture of the sides of our life. He use the force of the history of our country plus social force of the faith in God. And he successfully mixed this strong side of our mind this the mass market.
However there were better text but it was destroyed.
I like the media he use, the posters looks so good on the street. As for me his sculptures are a very 'heavy' but i like such kind of dissonance.

From a camera to infinity

Andy Warhol

the first name I found in my head when I think about modern art and design is the name of Andy Warhol.

the icon of american art of the second half of 20th century.

Warhol's art encompassed many forms of media, including hand drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, silk screening, sculpture, film, and music. He was also a pioneer in computer-generated art using Amiga computers that were introduced in 1984, two years before his death. He founded Interview Magazine and was the author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of Andy Warhol and Popism: The Warhol Sixties. He is also notable as a gay man who lived openly as such before the gay liberation movement. His studio, The Factory, was a famous gathering place that brought together distinguished intellectuals, drag queens, playwrights, Bohemian street people, Hollywood celebrities, and wealthy patrons.

Why i choose him as an example?

First of all, his art works are so colourful. In my opinion, the bright colours could be a key of the success work.

Secondly, it can be said that using the photos of very popular persons in mass media could be second idea which i can use in the future.

If we look at the wiki that the pop art is we will have this text:

Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc. In Pop art, material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, and/or combined with unrelated material. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it.

The idea of using some po-pu-lar ideas and trends, making money on things which are well-known nowadays - that principe used Andy in his works and life.
