Howard Tangye

I love these drawings by Howard Tangye. The selective use of colour, and the sometimes-disjointed, sometimes-exaggerated composition, make these portraits extremely compelling.

Bridget Riley

I love all of these concentric circles and the variation of colour. Especially on the range of backgrounds -- black, grey, purple, yellowed grid paper. The negative space is surprisingly dynamic -- look at the triangular grey section at the bottom of this one:

And all of the different colours produce a nice gradient too.

It would be nice to see all of these up close. The precision must be fantastic to see.

Here's two more:

William Kentridge

William Kentridge
History of the Main Complaint
1996



William Kentridge is amazing. He's well known for his animation process, wherein he erases parts of the frame to create the next. That's why you see traces of things that move.

The following installation, Deep Throat, reminds me of some of Cindy Sherman's work.

In this series, Cindy Sherman creates scenes littered with mannequin parts, food and garbage. It's the first thing I thought of when I saw Schmidt's piece above.

Aubrey Beardsley / Art Nouveau

Art Nouveau emerged at the end of the 19th century in Europe and maintained its popularity until about 1915. It was inspired by opened trades between Asia and Europe -- European artists finally had a glimpse of how previously-isolated Japanese artisans had developed their style, and basically copied them. Although the overall feel between Art Nouveau works and Japanese woodblock prints are quite different, the similarities between flattened forms, depth of field, strong, solid colour and composition are undeniable.

Here's some Aubrey Beardsley, and his Art Nouveau incarnations of Salome (the B&W image) and Isolde (the colour image), two staple characters in the Western canon.
