3/30 Three artists more in depth( in progress)

Alberto Giacometti


I like that Giacometti was and existentialist.  In his later works he tried to represent the figure in three dimensional space as much as humanly possible. I enjoy the idea of thinking about how to do this by constantly scrutinizing, looking, and correcting constantly.




Toulous Lautrec



The things I find interesting about Talous Lautrec is that he was a pop culture extraordinaire.  He made people famous with his work.  His posters promoted great popular dancers/ singers of their time.  I like his drink preference. Half Absinth half Brandy.  Even though it probably killed him, along with syphilis. The things I really liked about his work was his almost voyeuristic points of view towards his subjects.  


Egon Shiele



I love how erotic Egon Shiele's work is. Even though he was apparently a very creepy pervert. He apparently liked kids or youth.  This of which he was arrested for.  Died at 28.  Wow that is young.
