Self Portrait Project



Above I chose the piece of Andy Warhol, Self-Portrait, 1964. Made with acrylic and silkscreen ink on canvas. I chose this piece because Andy Warhol is one of the most influential and iconic artists of the 20th century. He put himself out there challenging popular culture and fine art, prints and paintings, and art and social reportage. He represents himself as clean cut, dressed, and straight forward.



This is a drawing by Nicolas Morosoff, Drawings 1925-1990 Exhibition. I chose this piece of artwork because is involves freshness of perception and spontaneity of execution. He experimented by drawing a vast diversity of art and established a base for the vitality of the Modern Art movement.



Pablo Picasso’s piece “War and Peace” is made with pastel crayon and black ink on etching and aquatint print base on Guarro paper. It could be translated with Illustrator. I like how simple the drawing is and the content of the piece. Pablo Picasso is a Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and ceramist, who worked in France. He is considered in his technical virtuosity, enormous versatility, and incredible originality to have been the foremost figure in the 20th century of art.
