William Kentridge. William Kentridge (born 28 April 1955) is a South African artist best known for his prints, drawings, and animated films.
These are constructed by filming a drawing, making erasures and changes, and filming it again. He continues this process meticulously, giving each change to the drawing a quarter of a second to two seconds' screen time. A single drawing will be altered and filmed this way until the end of a scene. These palimpsest-like drawings are later displayed along with the films as finished pieces of art.[1] Early life and career[edit] Kentridge was born in Johannesburg to Sydney Kentridge and his wife Felicia Geffen.
Work[edit] As someone who is ethnically Jewish in South Africa, he has a unique position as a third-party observer. Aspects of social injustice that have transpired over the years in South Africa have often become fodder for Kentridge's pieces. Edward hopper. Art contemporain. Jackson Pollock. Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956), known as Jackson Pollock, was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement.
He was well known for his unique style of drip painting. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety, a major artist of his generation. Regarded as reclusive, he had a volatile personality, and struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy.[1] Brice Marden.

Wayne Thiebaud. Wayne Thiebaud (born November 15, 1920) is an American painter best known for his colorful works depicting commonplace objects—pies, lipsticks, paint cans, ice cream cones, pastries, and hot dogs—as well as for his landscapes and figures.
He is associated with the Pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture, although his early works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists. Thiebaud uses heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.

Gerhard richter. Mondrian / De Stijl. Salvador Dalí - Dossier pédagogique. Le Grand Masturbateur, 1929 [Visage du Grand Masturbateur] Huile sur toile, 110 x 150 cmMuseo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid Retour sur un personnage Plus de trente ans après la rétrospective qu’il lui a consacrée, le Centre Pompidou déploie à nouveau l’œuvre labyrinthique de Salvador Dalí dans ses espaces.
Décrivant un parcours circulaire, cette seconde rétrospective, organisée par Montse Aguer, Jean-Michel Bouhours et Thierry Dufrêne sous la direction de Jean-Hubert Martin, propose de suivre les circonvolutions de l’univers dalinien le long d’un fil chronologique. L’exposition commence avec les premières recherches picturales, l’attrait de Dalí pour l’impressionnisme, le cubisme et son rapport ambivalent à la peinture académique.
Elle s’étend par la suite à la période surréaliste, allant de ses premières rencontres avec les principaux membres du mouvement jusqu’à sa mise à l’écart, soulignant la position particulière de l’artiste au sein du groupe parisien.
