More Artist Research

Matisse:


I decided to look into some artists that use the colour blue because I was very inspired by my trip to Birmingham Art Gallery with the figurative sculpture exhibition that had a continuous theme of the colour blue. The blue marks in his 'Blue Nude' paintings actually look like paper that has been cut and collages to represent a figure.

Pablo Picasso:


I decided to look at Picasso because he is known for using blue in his work such as 'Blue Nude', and he is also a cubist artist which I thought linked to my work as I have been doing a lot of paper cutting with shapes that look quite similar to cubism.
