4. Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse ( 31 December 1869 - November 3 1954)

I like Henri Matisse's work they are abstract and colourful and my fave work out of all of these are 'Icarus' the bottom one with the black silhouette, it tells the story of Icarus who escaped by making wings out of wax and feathers but failed as he flew to close to the sun because the wax has melted and he fell into the sea. The little yellow spark around him shows that the wax has melted and that the sun had burned him and i think that the blue around him is the sea underneath.

His other works are colourful ond lively the divine blue one a simple art work made to show the beauty of a woman's body. He died a very happy man in 1954 finally finished his final work ever the stained glass window in the memory of the the client's mother in the Union Church.

Simplicity is best in my opinion, if Henri added more of things to his art it will spoil then.

5.Andy Warhol

Andrew Warhola (August 6, 1928 - February 22 1987) also known as Andy Warhol was an American painter, filmmaker and printmaker and was a famous leading figure in the movement called pop art. Andy Warhol likes using bright colours and patterns in his work his can of condensed tomato soup is amazing it is cartoony looking and looks like it belongs in a comic book.

His Mickey mouse portrait he had done is one of my favourite works, I loved Mickey Mouse when I was younger the bright colours suit the Disney character nicely because of it's joyful pressence.

The Marilyn Monroe portraits are his famous works ever, I like the colours he used to do the portrait of her i like how he is good at choosing what colour he put together to do the work the red, purple, green and yellow etc.

Andy Warhol was also a filmaker, director and had directed sevral film's and more like, Poor Little Rich Girl, Suicide, 13 Most Beautiful Women and 13 Most Beautiful Men etc.

Sadly he is dead now but if he is still alive he will produce beautiful colourful paintings, portraits and maybe direct a new film.
