Artist Research

Artist Research:

 

 For this page I chose three artist which are part of an art movement. The three which I chose were Andy Warhol, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Andy Warhol is a pop artist. Matisse is part of the impressionism movement, and Picasso is a cubist artist. I chose to recreate the queen’s Andy Warhol because although it’s not a self-portrait, I focuses on the detail on her features very well and show a nice contrast with colours. Now, I looked at Matisse’s portrait of his wife Marguerite, because again I know it a portrait, he captures the simplicity of her face and again uses a nice variety of colours to shade her skin and background. After I chose Warhol and Matisse, I decided to make a self-portrait for my final piece, which is why have chosen Picasso’s self-portrait to recreate on this page. For all of the images I recreated I use acrylic paints for them. I did this because I love the way the paint makes the images look bold and I felt it was the best way to recreate them the way I did.
