<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #eeeeee;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">The American painter, poet and composer Mark Tobey was born in Centerville, Wisconsin on December 11, 1890. As of 1906 he studies watercolor and oil painting at the Art Institute in Chicago. Afterwards he works as a model drawer in Chicago and as of 1911 in New York. In 1918 Mark Tobey converts to Bahaism, this Persian belief seems to have a great impact on both his life and his art.</span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">From 1922 to 1925 he works as an art teacher at the Cornish School in Seattle. He is very interested in European Cubism and East Asian painting and calligraphy, he collects the art of the Tlinkit and Haida Indians, especially textiles and wooden sculptures.</span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">In 1925 Mark Tobey travels to Europe and stays in Paris for some time, he also visits Barcelona, Athens, Istanbul and Beirut, goes onto a pilgrimage to the holy site Bahá'í in Haifa, and also visits Akka to learn more about Persian and Arabian calligraphy. </span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">His first one-man show takes places in Chicago in 1928. From 1930 to 1937 he teaches at the Dartington Hall School in Devonshire, England. His journeys play an important role in Tobey's life. In 1932 he goes to Mexico and in 1934 to China and Japan - where he deals with the teachings and paintings of Zen, the Hai-Ku poetry and also calligraphy in a monastery in Kyoto.</span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">The effects of these journeys can be observed in his works. The artist returns to the USA in 1937 because of the changing political situation in Europe. He lives in Seattle until 1960. He makes first music compositions as of 1938. In 1944 the Willard Gallery in New York shows his "White Writings" pictures for the first time, this exhibition marks his artistic breakthrough. Tobey covers the image carrier with many layers of white or a similarly light color - this is the beginning of the "all over" painting, a style that is also applied by other artists such as Jackson Pollock. Mark Tobey's works become more and more abstract and comply with the artist's meditative and contemplative lifestyle.</span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Mark Tobey's works are shown in the 1959 and 1964 documenta exhibitions in Kassel and in numerous other exhibitions all over the world. He belongs to the most important precursors of the American "Abstract Expressionism". The Smithsonian Institution in Washington shows the first retrospective in 1974.</span><br style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;" /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;">Mark Tobey moves to Basel in 1960 where he dies on April 24, 1976.</span></span></span>KatelynAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10436723148459663372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479059630417138123.post-91203882694303006902012-05-05T22:36:00.000-07:002012-05-14T22:36:45.322-07:00Paul Freely<b><span style="background-color: black; color: red; font-family: 'Lucida Casual'; font-size: x-small;">1910-1966) Artist and head of the Bennington College Art Department during the 1950s and early 1960s.

This music video Uses many elemants of deign such as Line and color to covay its point. I like how in the middle of the middle of the music video they show the girl going towrds him as she tells her side of the story. Then As the relationship ends they show the paint coming off her and her getting farther way from him.KatelynAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10436723148459663372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479059630417138123.post-29538908762993819082012-04-20T22:17:00.000-07:002012-05-14T22:38:36.770-07:00bansky<br />

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">German sculptor and stage designer. He studied painting at the Kunstakademie in Berlin-Weissensse (1949–53), working first in the style of Socialist Realism. During his period at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf he undertook self-imposed repetitive exercises such as archery, and he modelled his first relief-form paintings by hand. In 1957 he made his first relief structures with nails leading to works such as <i>White Picture</i> (nails on <a class="collectionlink" href="http://www.moma.org/collection/theme.php?theme_id=10061" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; cursor: pointer !important; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">canvas</a> on wood, 1959; Krefeld, Kaiser-Wilhelm Mus.). He also incorporated corks (e.g. <i>Cork Picture Light Medium</i>, 1960; Düsseldorf, Kstmus.) and cardboard tubes set into the surface of the painting. The nailed picture became the antithesis of the painted picture; it allowed Uecker to explore the articulation of light through the shadows created by the nails, the unchanging ritual of hammering and the violation of taboo surfaces. In 1958 he began to work on circular nail formations, leading in 1961 to his rotating nailed illuminated discs.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;">Within the Zero group, which he joined in 1961 after participating in the exhibition <i>Das rote Bild</i> in Otto Piene’s studio (1958), Uecker developed fantastic projects to jolt and stimulate the imagination of an ossified society, such as painting a street white as part of the Zero demonstration in 1961 (see Honisch and Haedecke, p. 69). From 1963 he nailed items of furniture such as chairs, pianos and television sets, for example <i>TV on Table</i> (artist’s col., see Honisch and Haedecke, p. 194). Rotation continued, for example in the nailed fabric sculptures that inflate through centrifugal force, or in the <i>Sand Mills</i>. After 1967, influenced by Land art, Body art and <a class="collectionlink" href="http://www.moma.org/collection/theme.php?theme_id=10065" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; cursor: pointer !important; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">cConceptual art</a>, Uecker’s work slowly moved towards a critical analysis of prevalent structures, exemplified by <i>Chichicastenango</i> (1980; Krefeld, Pax Christi Church), a nailed-up boat symbolic of the martyrdom of South American Indians by the Catholic missions. The <i>Black Mesa</i> cycle of 1984 (artist’s col.; Kiel, Christian Alberts-U., Ksthalle), exhibited in Mönchengladbach at the Städtisches Museum Abteiburg, takes as its theme the threatening of a table mountain in South Dakota holy to the Indians. From 1974 Uecker made several stage sets for opera productions including <i>Fidelio</i> (Bremen), <i>Parsifal</i> (1976; Stuttgart) and<i>Lohengrin</i> (1979; Bayreuth Festival).</span></span></div>

Frank warren is a small business owner who started PostSecret as a community art project. Since October 2004 Warren has recieved thousands of anonymous postcards, Which have been turned into books, featured in galleries and has earned him several awards. He has a travling art exhibit and was fetured in the popular music video for all american rejects "dirty little secret, . Post secret has also been one of the main contributers in raising money for the 1 800 suicide hotline created by Reese Butler. Warren states in one of his books " most secrets are sent anonymously, but the secrets that arrive from young people ushally stand out; their passions run deeper, their loneliness feels mire desolate, their joy is expansive. Their postcards reveal a hidden landscape and sound as though they come from brave explorers finding their way through a wilderness.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Lassaw had his first formal training in 1927 with classes at the Brooklyn Children's Museum, which later became the Clay Club (now the Sculpture Center) taught by Dorothy Denslow. At the Clay Club until 1932, Lassaw learned modeling and casting, skills that he refined during his year at the Beaux Arts Institute of Design (1930-1931)</span></span><br />

As a result, he was a key force in shaping New York School sculpture. </span></span><br />

Dubuffet took over his father's wine business in 1925, and withdrew from the art world. He stayed in the wine business until 1942, when he returned to painting, having developed a distinctive style of simple, primitive images in a heavil</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">y</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">encrusted canvas. This style helped Dubuffet gain a worldwide reputation. Fascinated by the art of children and the insane, for which he coined the term art brut ("raw art"), he emulated its crude, violent energy in his own work. Critics soon applied the term art brut to Dubuffet's paintings, rather than to their stylistic source as he had intended.</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Many of Dubuffet's works are assemblages (combining found objects and other elements into a three-dimensional integrated whole), as for example Door with Couch-Grass (1957, Guggenheim Museum, New </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">York City), which is composed chiefly of fragments of paintings, grass, and pebbles. During the early 1960s, Dubuffet produced a series of paintings that resemble jigsaw puzzles, such as Nunc Stans (1965, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York City), in which tiny, obscure, closely spaced figures and faces dominate. His later work consists of large painted polyester resin sculptures. In all of his work the violence is tempered with elements of vitality and broad humor.</span></span><br />
