a NY native who currently lives in Dallas has a unique and interesting concept when it comes into making a collage.

he makes incredible images out of the juxtaposition , color and lines of maps. or he takes the images of a bible and makes then a beautiful night starry night. a lot of patience and vision is shown in his art work. in this case im showing 1 images and a detail view to each one. so go on try and make a collage of your own.

designer loves art... 57... Donatello

some artists may be considered temperamental, because they ask for artistic freedom, not many patrons are or where able to provide that....

this is Donatello

http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/bio/d/donatell/biograph.html

one of the most important renaissance artist in Italy, much is known about his work. mostly a marble and bronze sculptor.

he is called a realist, because his work has so much life that its even considers a portrait sculptures. he experimented a lot with marble reliefs and different techniques. he worked until his death under the service of the Medici. I am personally marveled by the fluently that his work has, as well as the amount of detail in each piece.

designer loves art... 56... Fernando Botero

not many artist go against the flow, in a culture where perfection goes to the thin and tall appearance there are some brave enough to do it.

this is Fernando Botero

http://fernandobotero.com

born in Colombia his work is easily recognized all over the world. there are several ways to see his works, one is from a surrealist point of view, another form the realist point of view and the mix of both. i personally find his work disturbing, not only because of the lack of a real proportion, but because he has the nerve or the bravery to touch on subject such as his Abu Ghrain series ( highly violet images NOT shown below). he is good with shading an d has a good use of color he is also known for "coping or representing" some known work such as the Mona Lisa. he has also dome many sculptures seen all over the world.

but you make your own opinion on his work. like it or dislike him you can't talk about contemporary art without looking him up.
