Researching Artists

13th September 2014

Quick Summary of Artists...

  Cy Twombly is an American painter of large scale messy or graffitti-ish works of art and he usually works on either grays, tan and cream/off-white boards. He combines aspects of traditions European works of art with the new movements of American style paintings. Twombly was interested in the layering up of history and time in his work which reflects in his drawings and paintings. His pieces of work reflected in the time he was living in and the impact of where he was had a massive effect through his work.

  Franz Kline is known from his large black and white abstract expressionist paintings. He first started out with a style which encouraged him to show admiration for artists like Rembrandt. Some have said his monochrome paintings have likenesses to New York's famous cityscapes, which links with his childhood home in Pennsylvania.
