Life and work[edit] Martin Maloney was born in London. He attended the University of Sussex 1980–1983, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design 1988–1991 and Goldsmiths College 1991–1992 Martin Maloney practices deliberately "bad" painting, where images (mainly figures) are achieved with apparently inept draughtsmanship and crude painting.
Through his expressionistic style, strong colours, and humorous subject matter, Maloney's paintings record everyday experiences and moments of awkward intimacy. Art historian Julian Stallabrass said that Maloney's work was "childishly sweet and banal figure paintings".[1] Maloney was an exhibitor Saatchi Collection on display as Sensation, held at the Royal Academy, London, in 1997. Twenty artworks by Maloney were destroyed in the 2004 fire at the Momart storage warehouse.[2] References[edit] External links[edit] Martin Maloney at Xavier Hufkens, Brussels.

He is known for his strange and enigmatic sculptures that draw the viewer’s perceptual judgments into question in jarring and unexpected ways.
Christopher Knight in the Los Angeles Times wrote that Ray’s “career as an artist…is easily among the most important of the last twenty years.”[1] Charles Ray was born in Chicago as the son of Helen and Wade Ray. He has four brothers and a sister. He earned his BFA at the University of Iowa and his MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

Christian Boltanski (born 1944) is a French sculptor, photographer, painter and film maker. He is the brother of Luc Boltanski and the partner of Annette Messager. Installation art[edit] In 1986, Boltanski began creating mixed media/materials installations with light as essential concept. Tin boxes, altar-like construction of framed and manipulated[1] photographs (e.g.
Chases School, 1986–1987), photographs of Jewish schoolchildren taken in Vienna in 1931, used as a forceful reminder of mass murder of Jews by the Nazis, all those elements and materials used in his work are used in order to represent deep contemplation regarding reconstruction of past. While creating Reserve (exhibition at Basel, Museum Gegenwartskunst, 1989), Boltanski filled rooms and corridors with worn clothing items as a way of inciting profound sensation of human tragedy at concentration camps.

Life and career[edit] Rodchenko was born in St. Petersburg to a working-class family who moved to Kazan after the death of his father, in 1909.[1] He become an artist without having had any exposure to the art world, drawing much inspiration from art magazines.
After 1914, he continued his artistic training at the Stroganov Institute in Moscow, where he created his first abstract drawings, influenced by the Suprematism of Kazimir Malevich, in 1915. Rodchenko's work was heavily influenced by Cubism and Futurism, as well as by Malevich's Suprematist compositions, which featured geometric forms deployed against a white background. Rodchenko was appointed Director of the Museum Bureau and Purchasing Fund by the Bolshevik Government in 1920, responsible for the reorganization of art schools and museums. Throughout the 1920s, Rodchenko's work was very abstract. Influence[edit] The end of painting[edit] Alexander Rodchenko. Sources[edit] Georges Seurat. Georges-Pierre Seurat (French: [ʒɔʁʒ pjɛʁ sœʁa];[1] 2 December 1859 – 29 March 1891) was a French Post-Impressionist painter and draftsman. He is noted for his innovative use of drawing media and for devising the technique of painting known as pointillism.
His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-impressionism. It is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.[2] Biography[edit] Family and education[edit] Seurat was born in Paris. After a year at the Brest Military Academy, he returned to Paris where he shared a studio with his friend Aman-Jean, while also renting a small apartment at 16 rue de Chabrol. Bathers at Asnières[edit] He spent 1883 working on his first major painting—a huge canvas titled Bathers at Asnières, a monumental work showing young men relaxing by the Seine in a working-class suburb of Paris.

'Study for This Sovereign Life', oil with sand (1985), sold at Christie's in 2003 for $130,700 Early life[edit] He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, attended Walnut Hills High School, the University of Cincinnati, and received a BFA from Ohio University in 1957.
Career[edit] He first earned respect in the art world with his Happenings. Pioneered with artists Claes Oldenburg and Allan Kaprow, in conjunction with musician John Cage, the "Happenings" were chaotic performance art that was a stark contrast with the more somber mood of the expressionists popular in the New York art world. The first of these was the 30 second The Smiling Worker performed in 1959.
Birth of American "Pop Art"[edit] In 1962 Dine's work was included, along with Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Robert Dowd, Phillip Hefferton, Joe Goode, Edward Ruscha, and Wayne Thiebaud, in the historically important and ground-breaking New Painting of Common Objects, curated by Walter Hopps at the Norton Simon Museum.
