Corbis–Andy Warhol
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.

Paul Cezanne Online Museum
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.

Loretta Lux
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.
“Girl with a Loaf of Bread”
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.

Motion Theory - HP ‘It Consolidates’
Motion Theory - HP “It Consolidates”
Everyday life and everyday business consolidate into simplicity.
Building on an well-established track record of work for HP and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, Motion Theory directed and designed “It Consolidates” to represent the consolidating power of HP’s newest enterprise server. “It Consolidates” integrates live-action, stop-motion, motion control, and illustration in a way that blurs the boundaries between all of the techniques. To create the uniquely whimsical visual style, Motion Theory filmed as much of the action as possible, then enhanced the look in post with illustration and design. The scenes include a tangle of freeways unifying into one, an office folding in like a Mad magazine ‘fold-in’ come to life, a cluttered desktop organizing itself, and more, ending up in a messy server room consolidating into a single HP Blade server.

Michael Muller Photography
From sweltering Alyssa Milano nudes to a darkly stoic Jay Leno profile, Muller’s celebrity portraiture is as shamefully enticing as his Michelle Trachtenberg photos. Erotic and coltish, Muller’s fashion and advertising photos showcase a propitious career.

Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp by Andrew Stafford
Take an interactive journey through the art and ideas of Marcel Duchamp, the most influential artist of the 20th Century. At Making Sense of Marcel Duchamp, ideas come alive with an immediacy that only multimedia can deliver: you can spin the Bicycle Wheel, shake With Hidden Noise, and manipulate the elaborate allegorical automata of The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even. You can’t do that in a museum, and you can’t get it from a book.
“I am still a victim of chess. It has all the beauty of art — and much more. It cannot be commercialized. Chess is much purer than art in its social position.” - Marcel Duchamp
