Pablo Picasso has a number of pieces in the Tate Modern, but one of the top works is the Weeping Woman. Picasso’s subject was Dora Maar, his lover and the painting itself is meant to represent of the many tragic victims of the Spanish Civil War, a conflict that cost the woman in the painting her child during the bombing of Guernica. Interestingly e...
One of a handful of temporary exhibits currently at the Tate Modern, the museum is featuring the work of Russian avant-garde artist Natalia Goncharova. She gained fame in her movement in 1913 at the young age of 32 and pushed the envelope of what was allowed in art before World War I and the Russian Revolution changed the country’s fate. Until Sept...
Warhol’s pop culture style of art made him one of the most famous artists of the 20thCentury by helping the public realize that celebrities and mundane objects could also be art. By painting Marilyn Monroe over and over again until the star fades away, Warhol succeeds in reminding his audience that fame, as with life, is temporary.
Certainly a strange painting on the surface, Giorgio was an avid fan of the Surrealists in his early days. His Uncertainty of the Poet contrasts the ancientwith the fleeting, juxtaposing a statue of Aphrodite and stone archways with browning bananas and a passing train. The timeless and the temporary existing at once.
Perhaps the only work on this list to appear consistently in several similar pieces, the Seagram Murals were given birth after artist Mark Rothko left his job painting murals for New York restaurants. He went a little bit darker in the aftermath and created the Seagram Murals to reflect what he felt was the claustrophobic atmosphere of Michaelangel...
Martin does a wonderful job of featuring a rolling, raging storm and volcanic eruptions that makes for this third picture in his apocalypse series. Based on the Revelation of St. John, it’s a terrifying depiction of God’s wrath in the final judgement, as cataclysms envelop the world. Despite its having been painted in the 19thCentury, the painting ...
Matisse’s painting doesn’t really have as much to do with the little slimy critter except that Matisse attempted to put the colorful rectangles in a spiral shape that somewhat resembles a snail’s shell. The artist had help from his assistants as he was ill at the time and still dealing with a bitter separation from his wife. It’s a beautiful piece ...
If you want to have an idea of the joke Starlord made in the first Guardians of the Galaxy film, you need to experience the abstract expressionist work of Jackson Pollock. While the black and white oil on canvas work may look like Pollock just through black paint on a white canvass,
Americanartist Jenny Holzer presents some great examples of thought-provoking exhibits. Her work can be found both on the streets of major cities and in museums including the Tate Modern, where she is currently featured in the Artists Rooms. Her performance art is meant to be mysterious, not beating you over the head with its meaning, but more for ...
Dali’s work is certainly some of the trippier pieces you’ll find in the Tate Modern, and the Metamorphosis of Narcissus allows the artist to put his own unique spin on the classicGreek myth. The painting depicts both Narcissus as he stares at his own reflection as well as his transformation into the narcissus flower. Interestingly enough, Narcissus...
