Marcel Duchamp

Henri-Marcel-Duchamp was a French-American painter, sculptor, chess player and writer whose work is associated with Cubism, conceptual art, and Dada. His artwork is very intricate and usually uses only 1 or 2 colors. A lot of them use Cubism and those pieces are the more intricate pieces. His sculptures are also very intricate as well. Some of them contain multiple wheels, and some of them I don’t even know what they are. Readymades were found objects, which Duchamp chose and presented as art.

Fauvism

     Fauvism is a style of painting with vivid expressionistic and nonnaturalistic use of color. It had success in Paris from 1905, but was short-lived. Even though it was short lived, it had an important influence on subsequent artists. Especially the German expressionists. Matisse was regarded as the movement's leading figure. Some Fauvism artists are Henri Matisse, André Derain, George Braque, Maurice de Vlaminck, Raoul Dufy, Marc Chagall, Kees Dan Vongen, Albert Marquet, Georges, Rouault, and Amedeo Modigliani

Goya

     Francisco Goya is from Fuendetodos, Spain. A lot of  oya’s art seems have some non-human creature. Most of Goya’s art uses a lot of dark tones, but uses just enough light tones to brighten the painting up. This gives the painting a cool effect. Some of Goya’s paintings are very weird. For example, one of them consists of a creature devouring a human body.
