PEOPLE
Popular and
influential street
artist and graphic
designer Fairey’s
work has had a
brute cultural
impact on
contemporary
society. His work
combines
elements of
graffiti and
advertising and is
often politically-
charged.
Shepard Fairey
Picasso created this piece in response to the bombing of Guernica, a
country village in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. Guernica shows the
tragedies of war and it’s effect on innocent people.
The painting helped bring the world’s attention to the Spanish Civil War and
was displayed around the world as a symbol of peace.

Anselm Kiefer
Kiefer is a German sculptor and painter
who explores the themes of depression and
the effects of Nazi rule. He often
incorporates natural materials in his work
such as straw, ash, clay and lead.
Walter Martin & Paloma
Muñoz
Snow globes are designed to be
turned upside down. Martin and
Muñoz, though, really turned them
upside down. Where traditional
snow globes are intended to evoke a
pleasant memory, the snow globes of
Martin and Muñoz seem to portend
an anxious future event.
These orbs seem to anticipate
terrible events that might happen, or
might be happening right now to
somebody else.
Where traditional snow globes
depict cheerful scenes, Martin and
Muñoz give us eerie scenes, scenes
rife with anxiety and uncertainty,
scenes that reside in the darker parts
of the human psyche.

“Map of my Day” 1995
‘Map’ combines a kind of
representation, that is, a map of the
United States, with many issues more
common to abstract painting. Johns
combines colour, lines, and readable
gestures (brushstrokes), as well as
letting paint speak for itself on flat
canvas surfaces.

This is a

installation and
sculpture. The artist
uses familiar objects
in ways that become
strange and
unsettling.
The wardrobe and
the clothing inside
were filled with
concrete so they
became sealed up

used.
The space between
two buildings was
filled with chairs,
with a startling
effect.

The Little Fourteen-Year-Old
Dancer - (Bronze) cast in 1922
"Three Studies of A Dancer," by Edgar Degas,
Edgar Degas
“I’ve spent the last 25 years of
my photographic career
investigating movement and its
expressive potential. My
inspiration has always been
photography’s ability to stop
time and reveal what the naked
eye cannot see. My interest in
photography is not to capture an
image I see or even have in my
mind, but to explore the
potential of moments

Jackson Pollock
Pollock was an American painter, the
chief pioneer of Abstract
Expressionism.
He created enormous drip paintings.
He painted in a tool shed where he
could lay his canvas on the floor, and
drip and splatter paint across it
without worrying about ruining the
walls or floor.
Rather than paint a landscape or a
portrait, Pollock wanted to paint
action. When you look at one of his
drip paintings, your eye wanders
across the entire canvas in constant
motion.
Brice Marden
Yukinori Yanagi's work explores
themes relating to his position
as a Japanese artist living and
working in an international
context, as well as broader
issues about identity within
social or national constructs.

Eadweard Muybridge
Eadweard
Muybridge was an
English
photographer
important for his
pioneering work in
photographic
studies of motion
and in motion –
picture projection.
Wassily Kandinsky
Kandinsky used colour in a highly
theoretical way associating tone
with timbre (the sound's
character), hue with pitch, and
saturation with the volume of
sound. He even claimed that when
he saw colour he heard music.
Roy Lichtenstein
Beginning in 1962 Lichtenstein borrowed
images of explosions from popular war
comics for use in his paintings. The subject
embodies the revolutionary nature of Pop Art
and suggests the very real threat of
annihilation by nuclear explosion that was
prevalent at that time (the Cuban Missile
Crisis occurred in 1962). But Lichtenstein was
also interested in the way dynamic events like
explosions were depicted in the stylised
format of comic book illustration.

would learn to speak the language of the
animals in the forest or that of the most
dramatic actor. With the click of a finger
I’ve found a way to make these things
come true'
