most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. Klimt is noted for his paintings,
2. murals, sketches, and other art objects. Klimt's primary subject was the female body, his works are
marked by a frank eroticism.

painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in
France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for
co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of
collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore.
ERIC ZENER

contemporary underwater sculptures which over time develop into artificial coral reefs. Taylor
integrates his skills as a conservationist, underwater photographer and scuba diving instructor to
produce unique installations that encourage the habitation and growth of corals and marine life.
4. SIGMUND ABELES
Sigmund Abeles was born 1934 in New
York City and raised in South Carolina. He is an artist
whose work deals with the expressive and psychological
aspects of the human figure (and animals); an art focused
on the entire life cycle. Drawing informs all his work. He
works in pastels, oils, the graphic media, and sculpture.
Ancient Egyptians
Ancient Egyptian art is the painting,
sculpture, architecture and other arts produced
by the civilization in the lower Nile Valley from
5000 BCE to 300 AD. Ancient Egyptian art
reached a high level in painting and sculpture,
and was both highly stylized and symbolic.
Much of the surviving art comes from tombs
and monuments and thus there is an emphasis
on life after death and the preservation of
knowledge of the past. All Egyptian reliefs were
painted, and less prestigious works in tombs,
temples and palaces were just painted on a flat
5. surface. Stone surfaces were prepared by whitewash, or if rough, a layer of coarse mud plaster, with
a smoother gesso layer above; some finer limestones could take paint directly. Pigments were
mostly mineral, chosen to withstand strong sunlight without fading. The binding medium used in
painting remains unclear: egg tempera and various gums and resins have been suggested. It is clear
that true fresco, painted into a thin layer of wet plaster, was not used. Instead the paint was applied
to dried plaster, in what is called "fresco a secco" in Italian. After painting, a varnish or resin was
usually applied as a protective coating, and many paintings with some exposure to the elements
have survived remarkably well, although those on fully exposed walls rarely have. Small objects
including wooden statuettes were often painted using similar techniques.

6. MAGGIE TAYLOR

Santa Fe Center for Photography's Project Competition in 2004. Her work has been widely exhibited
in the United States and Europe and is represented within the permanent collections of several
galleries and museums. She is the third wife of American photographer, Jerry Uelsmann. She
produces prints by scanning objects into a computer using a flatbed scanner, then layering and
manipulating these images using Adobe Photoshop into a surrealistic montage.
