"Valentine Hugo grew up in an enlightened and open-minded family with a professional painter for a father. After earning a certificate to teach drawing, she was admitted to the École des beaux-arts in Paris in 1907, and spent time in Jacques Fernand Humbert’s workshop. Her first participation in the Salon des artistes français took place in 1909. Her passion for music and dance led her to complete a number of dancer studies and exhibited her pastel sketches and wax paintings on wood at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in 1913. For the fashion illustrations she published in Lucien Vogel’s La Gazette du bon ton, she favoured wood engraving techniques. In 1916, she exhibited a few illuminated manuscripts at the Barbazanges gallery in Paris. She also designed costumes for Jacques Copeau and the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier workshop in 1917. In 1919, she married Jean Hugo, Victor Hugo’s great-great-grandchild. From then on, she alternated between creating disguises and “puppet-masks” for the Noailles and Beaumont costume balls and designing costumes and sets with her husband for theatre productions (Romeo and Juliet, 1924)." - Excerpt from awarewomenartists.com ___ Visit #valentinehugo to see more works by this amazing artist!

"Keith Haring (1958-1990) was an American artist and social activist known for his evocative illustrations. A prominent figure of 1980s New York graffiti culture, his work could be found in every subway station in the city. Haring was able to reach a wide audience through his humorous, accessible imagery and saturated colours. He proved the legitimacy of street art by bringing it to museums and galleries, blurring the boundary between high and low culture- an endeavour also shared by his contemporaries Warhol and Basquiat. Haring's energetic drawings tackle universal themes such as birth, death, sexuality and war in an original, cartoon-like way that has awarded him international recognition." - from kingandmcgaw.com Visit #keithharing and @keith_haring to see more works by this amazing artist!

"Zdzislaw Beksinski was a Polish artist best known for his surreal dystopian imagery. His paintings, photographs, and prints depicted macabre otherworldly spaces and figures. “I wish to paint in such a manner as if I were photographing dreams,” he once reflected. Born on February 24, 1929 in Sanok, Poland, Beksinski had no formal art training, but instead studied architecture at the Kraków University of Technology. He found work in his hometown as a vehicle designer after graduating, indulging his interest in photography during his free time. Throughout his career, Beksinski was interested in fantasy, sadomasochism, and erotica, as evidenced in his famous image Sadist’s Corset (1957), a photograph of a woman’s bare backside tightly and irregularly bound with black string. Beksinski died tragically when he was murdered by an acquaintance on February 21, 2005 in Warsaw, Poland at the age of 75. Today, many of his works can be seen in the collection of the Czestochowa City Gallery in Poland." - from artnet.com // // Visit #zdzislawbeksinski and @beksinski to see more works by this amazing artist!

⚬“ Christopher Joseph Mudgett (born December 14, 1982) is an American artist known for his bold monochromatic artworks; primarily oil paintings, drawings & sculptures. He was born in Sherman lives and works in the historic Whitley Heights district of Los Angeles, soaking in the abundant inspiration of his surroundings, and using his intricate works to trace a meaningful dialogue with humanity as a whole. “ - Wikipedia.org ⚬ “In just under a decade, Christopher Mudgett has given us one of the most innovative and dynamic collections of original artwork existent in the world today. By creating a sophisticated visual language which travels beyond fleeting art trends, Mudgett forges an individual style that is steeped in tradition yet stands apart from all the rest. The exploration of humanity in his work gives us a closer look at modern life; and by using lines, shapes and black & white (a symbol for the duality of human existence) he reveals the meaning of our deepest desires as a society, and perhaps even more hauntingly...of ourselves. Mudgett's artwork is currently held in private collections around the world. Including North & Central America, Great Britain, Singapore, Denmark, Spain, Germany, France & China. ‘Painting has been with me since childhood. First encounters with art really opened my eyes to the possibility of what it could do, not only for the human spirit but also as a way to transform ideas into something which could be universally shared and understood.’ “ - https://mudgett.co/ ⚬ Follow @christophermudgett and visit https://mudgett.co/ to learn more about this amazing artist!

" Kerry James Marshall is a contemporary painter whose work explores the complex effects of the Civil Rights movement on the everyday life on African Americans. Through narrative scenes that draw both from history and the artist’s own life, Marshall delves into obscure moments and objects important to contemporary and past black culture. His work is likewise concerned with the tradition of Western painting, and the notion of mastery, authorship, and the erasure of black bodies throughout art history. Like Kara Walker, Marshall often exaggerates the color of the people in his work making them as black as the pigment will allow, drawing more attention to the surrounding color and content of his paintings. Born on October 17, 1955 in Birmingham, AL, he grew up in the Watts neighborhood of South Central Los Angeles, going on to study at the Otis College of Art and Design. “You can’t be born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1955 and grow up in South Central near the Black Panthers headquarters, and not feel like you’ve got some kind of social responsibility,” the artist has said of his upbringing. Marshall has shown with David Zwirner Gallery in New York, and his works are held in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis among others. In 2016, his work was the subject of a major retrospective titled “Mastry” that would travel to the MCA Chicago, MOCA, and The Metropolitan Museum of Art to widespread critical acclaim. Marshall lives and works in Chicago, IL." - Excerpt from artnet.com __ __ Visit @kerryjamesmarshs and @moca to see more works by this amazing artist!

"Joyce Kozloff(maiden name 'Blumberg') graduated from the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh in 1964 and from Columbia University in 1967, and married American photographer and art historian Max Kozloff (1933). While in Mexico in 1973, she came across pre-Columbian art. Fascinated by the repetition of decorative patterns and the near-total anonymity of the female creators of these works, she created a series of drawing influenced by their themes, which she transformed into large-format abstract paintings. This led her to create a style of painting that she called decorative, drawing her inspiration from traditional ornaments from Mexico, Morocco, Egypt, and Turkey. With painters Robert R. Zakanitch (1935) and Miriam Shapiro (1923-2015), as well as others, she formed the Pattern and Decoration movement founded on the beauty of patterns and their repetition, offering an alternative to the crisis of painting in the late 1960s. This attitude was in line with her feminist ideals: in 1977 she was one of the creators of the magazine Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics. During the same period, she began to see her work in environmental terms, with, for example, An Interior Decorated (1978–1979), a personal anthropology of decorative arts drawn from Western and Eastern traditions, which brought together a tiled floor covered with stars and hexagons, glazed tile pilasters, silkscreen silk panels, and lithographs on rice paper. A number of commissions for public spaces followed, beginning with New England Decorative Arts (1979–1985) for the Harvard Square subway station in Cambridge, Massachusetts. With the multitude of techniques she used – mosaics, frescoes, lithography – J. Kozloff developed an art that went beyond traditional formats, freeing itself from the museum in order to reach a wider audience." - Excerpt from Awarewomenartists.com | | | Visit joycekozloff.net or explore her relevant accounts and hastag (@joycekozloff , @dcmooregallery , #joycekozloff ) to learn more about this amazing artist!

"Max Ernst was a prominent German avant-garde artist who helped found both Dadaism and Surrealism. He worked in a variety of media including film, collage, painting, and frottage—a technique wherein he collected pencil rubbings of different objects surfaces as source material. “Creativity is that marvelous capacity to grasp mutually distinct realities and draw a spark from their juxtaposition,” he once reflected. Born on April 2, 1891 in Bruhl, Germany, Ernst and his friend the artist Jean (Hans) Arp began creating Dadaist works in Cologne during the late 1910s. Moving to Paris in 1922, he entered the milieu of several artists, including Paul Éluard and André Breton. Motivated by Surrealist doctrine, the artist made the dreamlike paintings The Elephant Celebes (1921) and Oedipus Rex (1922). Ernst moved to New York with his wife the famed art collector Peggy Guggenheim in the 1940s. In New York, he made one most acclaimed works Europe After the Rain (1940-1942), a psychological interpretation of war-torn Europe. Ernst later left Guggenheim to marry the young artist Dorothea Tanning in 1946. In 1954, he received the Grand Prize for painting at the Venice Biennale, and a major retrospective of his work followed the next year at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York. The artist died on April 1, 1976 in Paris, France. Today, Ernst’s works are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others." - Excerpt from artnet.com __ _ Visit @max_ernst_museum to learn more about this amazing artist!

"Edward Hopper, (born July 22, 1882, Nyack, N.Y., U.S.—died May 15, 1967, New York City), American painter whose realistic depictions of everyday urban scenes shock the viewer into recognition of the strangeness of familiar surroundings. He strongly influenced the Pop art and New Realist painters of the 1960s and 1970s. Hopper was initially trained as an illustrator, but, between 1901 and 1906, he studied painting under Robert Henri, a member of a group of painters called the Ashcan School. Hopper travelled to Europe three times between 1906 and 1910, but he remained untouched by the experimental work then blossoming in France and continued throughout his career to follow his own artistic course. Although he exhibited paintings in the Armory Show of 1913, he devoted most of his time to advertising art and illustrative etchings until 1924. He then began to do such watercolours as Model Reading (1925), as well as oil paintings. Like the painters of the Ashcan School, Hopper painted the commonplaces of urban life. But, unlike their loosely organized, vivacious paintings, his House by the Railroad (1925) and Room in Brooklyn (1932) show still, anonymous figures and stern geometric forms within snapshot-like compositions that create an inescapable sense of loneliness. This isolation of his subjects was heightened by Hopper’s characteristic use of light to insulate persons and objects in space, whether in the harsh morning light (Early Sunday Morning, 1930) or the eerie light of an all-night coffee stand (Nighthawks, 1942). Hopper’s mature style was already formed by the mid-1920s. His subsequent development showed a constant refinement of his vision. Such late paintings as Second-Story Sunlight (1960) are distinguished by extremely subtle spatial relationships and an even greater mastery of light than is seen in his work of the 1920s." - Summary from Britannica.com -- -- -- Visit #edwardhopper to learn more about this amazing artist!

"Lorser Feitelson came to Los Angeles in 1927, bringing with him Modernist ideas he had adopted while living in New York and Paris. Highly influential as a leader and teacher in the art community, (Feitelson taught at the highly influential Chouinard Art Institute and ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena) Feitelson helped to establish Los Angeles as the important art center it is today. Throughout his lifetime, Feitelson was influenced by a myriad of artistic movements. After attending the 1913 Armory Show, Feitelson found himself immersed in the growing community of New York modern artists. In the 1920s Feitelson relocated to Paris, in the hopes of finding an audience that would be more receptive to modern art. During these early decades of his artistic practice, Feitelson extrapolated from the works of the Futurists and Cubists, as well as Matisse, Cézanne, and Duchamp. His paintings were delineated by his inspirations, leading to categories in his work such as “Neo- Classicism” and “Kinetic Drawings.”" - Excerpt from (Lorserfeitelson.com) Visit #lorserfeitelson to see more works by this wonderful artist!

"Friedensreich Hundertwasser was an Austrian artist and designer whose passion for spirals and arabesque lines was largely inspired by Viennese Secessionists like Gustav Klimt. “Today we live in a chaos of straight lines, in a jungle of straight lines,” he critiqued of the man-made world. “If you do not believe this, take the trouble to count the straight lines which surround you. Then you will understand, for you will never finish counting.” Born Friedensreich Stowasser on December 15, 1928 in Vienna, Austria, he and his mother barely avoided persecution from the Nazi regime during World War II. After the war, the artist briefly enrolled in the Vienna Academy of Art before dropping out to travel extensively throughout Europe and Asia. As a designer in the 1950s, he undertook several large-scale architectural projects, including his famed Hundertwasserhaus. In the early 1970s, Hundertwasser purchased a number of properties in New Zealand where he would live out the remainder of his career. An outspoken activist against nuclear technology and pollution, the artist continued his involvement through the following decades. Hundertwasser died while aboard the Queen Elizabeth II on its voyage from New Zealand to Europe on February 19, 2000. Today, his works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., among others." - Excerpt from (Artnet.com) Visit #friedensreichhundertwasser to see more works by this incredible artist!

"Paula Scher is a contemporary American artist and graphic designer best known for her posters, logo designs, and album covers. In her paintings, Scher portrays large-scale maps filled with intricate lettering that indicate political and societal connections between countries and regional borders. “The job of the designer is to make things understandable, usable, accessible, enjoyable, and important to a public, that involves the public,” she has explained. Born on October 6, 1948 in Washington, D.C., she went on to study at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia before moving to New York, where she worked as a layout artist for Random House. In the years that followed, Scher held positions at both Atlantic Records and CBS Records, during which time she received four Grammy nominations for her album designs. The artist later joined Pentagram, a design consulting firm in New York, where she continues to live and work.

"Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (1884-1976) was a German painter and member of the Expressionist movement Die Brücke. His Self-Portrait with Monocle (1910) is a hallmark example of the vivid color, jagged shapes, and unrefined mark-making for which he is best known. Born Karl Schmidt on December 1, 1884 in Chemnitz, Germany, he enrolled at the Dresden Polytechnic University 1905, where he met fellow architecture students Erich Heckel, Fritz Bleyl, and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Together with his peers he founded Die Brücke, a collective workshop for painting, sculpting, and printmaking. The artist added the name of his hometown, Rottluff, that same year. In 1906, he discontinued his architectural studies and devoted himself solely to his painting practice. Throughout the following decades, after the disbanding of Die Brücke in 1913, the artist spent his summers painting on the Baltic coast and teaching at the Prussian Academy in Berlin. In 1936, he was officially prohibited by the Nazi regime from exhibiting his work. In exile till 1947, he returned to Berlin where he lived out the rest of his life, dying at the age of 92 on August 10, 1976." - Excerpt from (http://www.artnet.com/artists/karl-schmidt-rottluff/5") Visit #karlrottluff to see more works by this wonderful artist!

"Isabel Oliver Cuevas was rediscovered in 2015 for her Spanish Pop art work, included in the exhibition The World Goes Pop at the Tate Modern in London, England. Oliver is associated with Spanish pop through her collaboration with the artist collective Equipo Crónica (Chronicle Team), founded in Valencia in 1964 by Rafael Solbes, Manuel (Manolo) Valdés (1942), and Joan Antoni Toledo. They invited Oliver to join them in 1971, when Pop art and the so-called New Figuration was influencing the work of the group. Oliver collaborated with the Team for four years and, around the same time, she produced the important The Woman series from 1970 to 1973. Through this series Oliver examined popular culture in relation to images of women during the last decade of Franco's regime. Representative of a younger generation of women with feminist attitudes in the seventies, she overtly expressed her political views, taking advantage of Pop art's effects and strategies. Oliver analyzed and criticized the discriminatory situation of Spanish women under Franco's dictatorship, the very political situation in which she was living and of which she was a part." - Excerpt from (www.theartstory.com/isabeloliver) Visit #isabeloliver to see more works by this wonderful artist!

"Kazimir Severinovich Malevich (February 23 [O.S. 11] 1879 – May 15, 1935) was a Russian avant-garde artist and art theorist, whose pioneering work and writing had a profound influence on the development of non-objective, or abstract art, in the 20th century. Born in Kiev to an ethnic Polish family, his concept of Suprematism sought to develop a form of expression that moved as far as possible from the world of natural forms (objectivity) and subject matter in order to access "the supremacy of pure feeling" and spirituality.Early on, Malevich worked in a variety of styles, quickly assimilating the movements of Impressionism, Symbolism and Fauvism, and after visiting Paris in 1912, Cubism. Gradually simplifying his style, he developed an approach with key works consisting of pure geometric forms and their relationships to one another, set against minimal grounds. His Black Square (1915), a black square on white, represented the most radically abstract painting known to have been created so far. In 1930, he was imprisoned for two months due to suspicions raised by his trip to Poland and Germany. Forced to abandon abstraction, he painted in a representational style in the years before his death from cancer in 1935, at the age of 56." - Excerpt from (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kazimir_Malevich) Visit #malevich to see more works by this wonderful artist!

“Hanne Darboven (1941-2009) was a German Conceptual artist whose monumental installations probed issues of documentation and archiving societal and biographical depths. In one of the artist’s best known works Kulturgeschichte (Cultural History 1980-1983), she relays an esoteric analysis of prewar Germany and the trauma of war, with 1,590 framed works on paper and 19 sculptural objects composed of handwritten numbers, lists, scribbled over celebrity posters, pastoral postcards, and propaganda. “I see myself as a writer, which I am, regardless of what other visual materials I may use. I am a writer first and a visual artist second.” Born on April 29, 1941 in Munich, Germany, she grew up the heir to a successful coffee company and went on to study painting at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg from 1962–1966. After finishing school, she moved to New York, where she fell into the circles of Sol Lewitt and Joseph Kosuth. It was during this time in the late 1960s that Darboven developed her personalized language of lines and numbers. Also a trained pianist, she composed a number of compositions based on the calendar. The artist lived between Germany and New York throughout the following decades. She died on March 9, 2009 in Hamburg, Germany. Today, Darboven’s works are held in the collections of the Dia in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and the Migros Museum in Zurich, among others.” - Excerpt from( http://www.artnet.com/artists/hanne-darboven/ ) Visit #hannedarboven to see more works by this wonderful artist!
