Maurits Cornelis Escher (Mc Escher), born-June 17, 1898 and died- March 27, 1972. The period of art he did was extraordinarily unique, and he did not have a certain time period he painted or drew, but he designed his own art period, he was a modernist . Mc Escher is one of the most famous artist of our time period, he is known for many of the painting you probably seen in a art museum or online. Some of Mc Escher’s paintings include his so-called “impossible constructions” Ascending and Descending and Relativity.
Escher also contributed to math in a way his art was graphed and designed even though he had no education past secondary schooling. Mathematics saw and loved his techniques the way they were graphed

None of these paintings were of a certain time period , He was a modernist inspired by math. One technique of his is the one called “ watercolor” now watercolor can be easy or difficult just depends on what your strong or weak in. Escher’s watercolor art was a series of 137 paintings. These paintings would inspire woodcut artist and lithographs. Mc escher contributed very much to his art he had been perfecting his art all his life, since he was a child to after he married and became a father. Around the time he started painting and drawing was a crazy part of history World War 2 was around then but Escher was in italy about that time.
Mc Escher's woodcut art was a series of 448 projects, Escher did not create his first woodcut till 1919. Back then wood was expensive so when escher would do his woodcut art he would use very small pieces of wood.

His art is unique but i think it was repeated one to many times. I also think Escher should of done more personal paintings and drawings. As a modernist Escher created a series of illusions in his art, every different time you admire his art you can find something new or you can see it from a different way. And the detail he puts is extraordinary and very well placed. Honestly i hope one day my art will be as amazing as Escher’s. Art was extremely unique but very inspiring his story tells me that if you just push an not give up you can become great as your own artist because no one is perfect at art it's just a talent you have. My basic opinion is Mc Escher is a very unique an brilliant artist. Doing this report an looking at Escher's art has shown me art isn't something you do for fun but it's something you do to change a life, to inspire some other future artist, to make a life out of. Escher's art isn't just amazing or brilliant but it's beautiful an inspiring and it shows so much an some tells a story not much but some. You can even create a story out of his art because it's so mesmerising. My opinion may be random but that's because Escher is a random artist to me you can't fully explain what you think of his art or of
Regardless of taste, an appreciator of art should be able to recognize when an artist exerts a large amount of effort and expresses a great amount of creativity. Understanding the concepts incorporated by truly talented artists helps the viewer better understand art in general. Both Van Eyck and Velasquez are examples of artists that stood out in their time due to their unique vision and their innovative style, and are therefore remembered, recognized, and praised even centuries after their works were completed.
Vincent Van Gogh is one of the world’s greatest and most well-known artists, but when he was alive he considered himself to be a complete failure. It was not until after he died that Van Gogh’s paintings received the recognition they deserved. Today he is thought to be the second best Dutch artist, after Rembrandt. Born in 1853, he was one of the biggest artistic influences of the 19th century. Vincent Van Gogh created a new era of art, he learned to use art to escape his mental illness, and he still continues to inspire artists over 100 years later.
It seems to be his style of painting, thick brush strokes. It is not simple, there is much to the painting, there is emotion in the painting. It is a stunning piece made by him.
The art piece by Rauschenberg is of great art and many appreciate the thought and process that might have gone into it even though it is of chaotic design. It is random and all materials are blended so it serves its purpose of leading us to imagine the simple life or perhaps something leading to that. The quality of the artwork is highly original and ranks high in my list.
...bove and amazed many people with his talents. He had a creative passion for his works that is indescribable.
Georges Seurat was a French born artist born on December 2nd 1859 in Paris, Frrance. He study at École des Beaux-Art, which was one of the most prestige art schools in the world, which is also known for training many of the renounced artist we know. George Seurat left the École des Beaux-Art and began to work on his own; he began to visit impressionist exhibitions, where he gained inspiration from the impressionist painters, such as Claude Monet. Seurat also was interested in the science of art; he explored perception, color theory and the psychological effect of line and form. Seurat experimented with all the ideas he had gained, he felt the need to go beyond the impressionist style, he started to focus on the permanence of paintin...
Erik Nitsche is a graphic designer whose successful career spanned everything from corporate identity to packaging design. He left a mark during his sixty year career as a designer and had a distinct style when it came to design. He said himself that he “was a Swiss in the graphic arts.” He walked into well-known places and got work immediately (Heller.) Nitsche held this heritage responsible for getting him where he was. Even though he may not be as well known as other designers, like Saul Bass and Paul Rand, he is said to be their equal (Heller.) Overall, Nitsche was an art director, graphic design, photographer, package designer, and illustrator who was known for his posters, advertisements, logos, magazine covers, book designs, and more.
Since the 7th grade, I have been a huge fan of the famous French-inspired realist and expressionist, Edvard Munch. His work is so full of passion and pain as well as shock and sadness. By gazing into the gloriously deep world of emotion he created, art lovers both young and old are amazed and drawn in.
...he engraved. Using his emotions in an artistic way brought out the best in his talents and made his work great.
The painting was done near the beginning of the twentieth century when science was developing at a rapid rate. Einstein's Theory of Relativity was gaining ground at the time. Malevich's painting seemed to borrow from this theory that attempted to explain relative motion. His suprematism style attempted to capture a neo-realism in painting portraying pure feeling and perception. This new style was communicated by the discarding of natural references. Malevich grew tired of painting in the traditional style with everything looking and feeling the way they are in life. His new style tried to free viewer from their traditional a priori views concerning shape and colors imposed on them by their senses. Suprematist style focuses was on depictions of movement and dynamism. Flight and anti-gravity fascinated Malevich. Much of his paintings were a top down view of the subjects arranged on a white background. The white background represents infinite space, while the subjects were reduced to geometric blocks. The message of the paintings comes out in the relative position of the blocks to the background. The infinite background of the paintings is to divorce the paintings from the finite earth. Malevich himself said that his paintings "do not belong to the earth exclusively." The paintings sought to transcend to a different level. Malevich's suprematist style sought to take people to the fourth dimension, which was pure sensation.
Edward Kienholz was an American artist born in Fairfield, Washington. He was an installation artist whose work was highly critical of aspects of modern life. He created powerful work that reflected upon contemporary social and political issues of late twentieth-century America. Kienholz made his work physically and emotionally immersive, breaking down the comfort zone between the art and its audience. Kienholz had begun creating these wall pieces in 1954 with the idea that he would make them “as ugly as possible” in an attempt to “understand beauty.” The process of creating these works drew from the tradition of Junk Art that was prominent in the 1950s on both coasts. Most of the materials he used was either from a flea market or in the back

Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest mathematicians to ever live, which is displayed in all of his inventions. His main pursuit through mathematics was to better the understanding and exploration of the world. He preferred drawing geographical shapes to calculate equations and create his inventions, which enlisted his very profound artistic ability to articulate his blueprints. Leonardo Da Vinci believed that math is used to produce an outcome and thus Da Vinci thought that through his drawings he could execute his studies of proportional and spatial awareness demonstrated in his engineering designs and inventions.
Carl Friedrich Gauss was born April 30, 1777 in Brunswick, Germany to a stern father and a loving mother. At a young age, his mother sensed how intelligent her son was and insisted on sending him to school to develop even though his dad displayed much resistance to the idea. The first test of Gauss’ brilliance was at age ten in his arithmetic class when the teacher asked the students to find the sum of all whole numbers 1 to 100. In his mind, Gauss was able to connect that 1+100=101, 2+99=101, and so on, deducing that all 50 pairs of numbers would equal 101. By this logic all Gauss had to do was multiply 50 by 101 and get his answer of 5,050. Gauss was bound to the mathematics field when at the age of 14, Gauss met the Duke of Brunswick. The duke was so astounded by Gauss’ photographic memory that he financially supported him through his studies at Caroline College and other universities afterwards. A major feat that Gauss had while he was enrolled college helped him decide that he wanted to focus on studying mathematics as opposed to languages. Besides his life of math, Gauss also had six children, three with Johanna Osthoff and three with his first deceased wife’s best fri...
This artist has done many works of art that some people just may not seem to understand why it was made. Some people find an interest in certain paintings while others may not find that exact attachment to the painting like others. I have chosen to write about this artist because of the many and beautiful arts of work he has created through many years. Although some I may not find a meaning to or why he would make a piece of art the way he did, they still seem to catch my attention to some.
