Pablo Picasso (1881-1973)Still Life with Mandolin and Guitar (oil on canvas, 1924)
If Da Vinci was a father of Renaissance, Pablo Picasso is the father of art. Picasso is a genius and very intelligent painter. I wish he was my grand-grandfather. I didn't know what to chose his painting for my blog because there are too many great paintings. Picasso is perfect, he could painted like a realistic and he also could painted abstract way. I personally, like his abstract painting. He broke the objects a part and he created a big shape and less details, this creates a almost a human face to me. His pallete is also very joyful and greate !

Nicholas Daunt "One with Everything" - 2.5 x 2.5 m

Energetic ! I felt so energetic of his brush technique. His pallett (red, yellow, blue, violet, white, and some black outlines) made a beautiful harmony and strong effect. Even he used a few black outlines, it created a strong composition and it seperates my eyes. It seems like he wasn't planning before he start like kandinsky or takashi, but he definetely knows how to make a successful painting. He knows where he have put the point on his painting, the color combination, the space of depth, and general composition. I'm wondering what the title means to him. I don't know why this painting reminds me of a "life", or if I look this painting about four seconds, I felt like I'm sitting on the yellow chair and looking at the blue ocean with my coffee. This painting seems not that happy but you could think about the one moment of your life.

Takashi Iwasaki "Gemmidakosasanouzu" Acrylic on canvas51 x 51cm 2008

What a creativism world ?! His work of painting is really my style. I was so into his painting when I found this. I personally, love the primary color and some baby pastel colors. He is using both colors at the same time, and that made me feel so bright and joyful. Some people think primary colors are for kids, but I definitely love kids color and pure colors like a baby. In my abstract painting class, I'm creating my world like Takashi, but my own world. Takashi is pretty young Japanese artist, but I really do love his work and everything he creates !

Wan Gyu Lim (임완규) 1952 "Butterflies oil" 50×39.6cm oil on canvas

When I was researching the butterflies for my last semester's project, I found him on the internet. I was pretty shocked because he is Korean, and I believed he was the first generation of the Korean abstract painter during 1950 period. During that time period, an abstract painting was not a common in Korea. Actually, the period of 1950~60 was most difficult time in Korea because the North and South had a war in 1950. How could he think about this creativism during that period? It just amazing to me. However, the sad thing is I only found a few of his painting. I wish I can find more of his work, so I can put his other great works on my blog too.Because of him, I'm going to study and learn about Korean abstract painter just like Lim. I love his pallet, which is like a mono-tone but colorful at the same time. The big centered-main butterfly is horizontally stand, and I thought this is interesting.

Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944)Transverse Line, 1923 141 x 202 cm Oil
on canvas Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf

Kandinsky, Russian artist one of the first creators of pure

abstraction in modern painting. I didn't understand his painting when I saw his painting at first. Espeically this painting doesn't have any background color,only geometric shapes and someorganic forms. However, while I was researching and studying about

the abstract painting from the artists, I figured it out the abstract painting is something that you

can't understand or something that you can't defined it and you can't judge it. That is my definition of abstract painting. I understand his work, I really love it and enjoy now.

His work of painting makes my eyes move around the page and that means I'm actually enjoying his painting. I feel so harmonious, joyful when I see his paintings, and some of his painting reminds me of musical instrument.
