Artists

1. Anselm Kiefer [] -While reading his biography, I found it interesting that he used uncommon (to me) materials such as ash, straw, lead and shellac in his paintings.

2. José Guadalupe Posada[] -I usually am somewhat turned off my skeletons in art, but for some reason I was drawn to his artwork. I enjoy looking at his work and all of its details.

3. Salvador Dali [] -I was familiar with this artists name and had heard it before but I really didn’t know anything about him and thought it was interesting that he first started painting what he saw in his dreams which influenced his artwork to seem scary.

4. Paul Klee  [] -I was drawn to Klee’s painting “Landscape With Yellow Birds”. I really like the whimsical, tropical feel of the painting.



5. Dale Chihuly [] -Dale Chihuly grabbed my attention because he is a glass blower which I find to be amazing and interesting. While reading about him, I found that he was from the US and has exhibitions all of the United States.

6. Donatello [] -Donatello is another artist whose name I had heard many times but was not really familiar with any of his works of art. After reading about him and his life, I learned that he was a homosexual and was known for not being ashamed that he was (which I find very interesting given the time period he lived in).

7. Titian [] -I came across Titian while on a website that had a list of the most famous and well known artists and I realized that I had never heard his name before. He was known for his mythological paintings.

8. Andy Burgess [] -For the last three artists on my list, I wanted to find artists from Wisconsin. I found Burgess and thought that his artwork was unique in the fact that he used photographs, ads, postcards, etc. to make collages that look like WI cities.

9. Stephanie Trenchard [] -While reading about her technique and the process that she follows to make a glass sculpture, I was amazed at all of the steps and time it takes to create even a small glass sculpture (like the one below).

10. Charles Munch [] - I found Much’s paintings to be easy to relate to due to growing up in the northwoods of Wisconsin.I find the subject matter and the way he depicts it to be very interesting.
