What identifies Jean-Michel Basquiat as a major artist is courage and full powers of self-transformation. That courage, meaning not being afraid to fail, transforms paralyzingly self-conscious ‘predicaments of culture’ into confident ‘ecstasies of cultures recombined.’ He had the guts, what is more, to confront New York art challenge number one: can you transform self and heritage into something new and named? - Robert Farris Thompson

This young San Francisco native developed a passion for art at a very young age. He has evolved his artistic expression into a unique and dynamic form of Graffiti Art. His work is reflective of influences from a wide variety of artists and architects ranging from Dali to Frank Llyod Wright. He was taught essential Graffiti techniques by such influential artists as Skew, Crayone, and Neon. But perhaps his greatest influence comes from his Father, an artist and architect himself, as well as his mother who encouraged his travels to broaden his perspective and freedom of self-expression.

Andy Warhol was born Andrew Warhola in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1928. In 1945 he entered the Carnegie Institute of Technology (now Carnegie Mellon University) where he majored in pictorial design. On graduation, Warhol moved to New York where he found steady work as a commercial artist. He worked as an illustrator for several magazines including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and The New Yorker and did advertising and window displays for retail stores such as Bonwit Teller and I. Miller. Prophetically, his first assignment was for Glamour magazine for an article titled “Success is a Job in New York.”
Andy Warhol. The Pope of Pop. And now over 500 of his images — from the iconic to the obscure — are available from Corbis. Discover the innovation and genius of Andy’s World.

Visionary ahead of his time, Cezanne’s innovative style, use of perspective, composition and color profoundly influenced 20th century art. Picasso developed Cezanne’s planar compositions into cubism, and Matisse greatly admired his use of color. He used color with passion and creativity, giving his brush strokes structure, solidity, durability. Pablo Picasso said the following of the artist “My one and only master . . . Cezanne was like the father of us all”. Cezanne is therefore often described as the “father of modern art”. Unfortunately, Cezanne was the ultimate outsider and misunderstood during most of his life. Success came little and late, although young promising painters came to visit him during his last years.

Lux’s photographs of children are not portraits in the traditional meaning of the word. Rather, she sees them as imaginary portraits which deal with the idea of childhood as a paradise lost. The carefree, innocent childhood ideal is explored in the photographs as an imaginary kingdom, one which is created more by the projection of adult ideals and concerns. The images, portraying self-aware children, are about the discovery of the self, or the development of a concept of one’s self. ìWe are radically alone and forced to choose our own path and create our own authentic life, but the self is a mystery,î says Lux.
Loretta Lux was born in Dresden, Germany in 1969 and currently lives and works in Ireland. Her work has been exhibited extensively abroad and is included in several collections in Europe and the United States, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Norton Museum of Art, the Bayerische Staatsgem”ldesammlung, Munich, Artothek Munich, Photo Museum Munich, and Fotomuseum Den Haag.
