Self Portrait

DETAIL

This Art work about  Hand drawing on postcard. I had never use a postcard but I have seen the postcard usually print with a famous landscape or a locai buliding. I guess These postcards could be the artist travel somewhere,  he saw some people  or landscapes which he interested, then he tried to depict in a postcard.I think this is a  unique idea.

Fly Illustration

Dead flies and simple pencil line drawing, I have seen this funny artworks before, He created a series of works of dead flies, they ar in cycling or lying on the beach, Interestingly these pictures  makes me feel they are really doing these actions.

Anne Paterson

Russian-born artist, Vasily Kandinsky (1866-1944), used vibrant colour to stimulate emotions. He believed art had spiritual values. Paintings were compositions, alternative music for the senses. Henry Matisse (1869-1954), leader of The Fauves art movement (1904-1908), used non-representational colour and representational form to convey different sensations.


Throughout the history of art, color is often used as a powerful symbolic elements of artists, led inner necessity, to express emotions. However, in the early twentieth century, art has undergone significant changes - a move away from the perception of elite avant-garde tradition. Color Chart: Reinventing Color.
