This week's artists are "d" artists - it's funny how this project seems to have been going on for quite some time, and yet I'm only on the letter "d." Maybe I should do twice weekly alphabetical artist posts...
I came across one artist quite coincidentally while doing some research for another project on art with circles. Robert Delaunay was an artist who lived from 1885 - 1941 and he used geometric shapes and bold color. One painting of his that really made me want to read more about him is called Primier Disque and is made up of quadrants of concentric circles. You can see it in the Wikipedia link HERE. You can read about Robert Delauney's life and see more of his work HERE and HERE. I am really into geometric art right now, and Robert Delauney seems to have a style I really appreciate.
The second "d" artist is Allan D'Arcangelo, a painter and printmaker who is know for his work with road signs, highways and pop art. This was very interesting to me because I will be taking a class starting next week called "Art influenced by Pop Culture." I am enjoying discovering these cool, minimal paintings of road blocks, highways and signs. You can read about Allan D'Arcangelo HERE.
