C&G Certificate Module 1, Chapter 13 - Study Three Artists
I really enjoyed looking at artists who are involved with the themes in Module 1. Learning about the background and evolution of embroidery and design has made me more observant about the objects around me. I am interested in aboriginal art and found all the Cuna Indian designs very inspiring. Kandinsky's style was a real eye opener into abstract art and this took me down the path of looking at other abstract artists, such as Paul Klee, Pieter Mondrian, Jackson Pollock and Paule Vézelay. I then looked at artists who use fabric in their work such as Lucienne Day, Jacqueline Groag and again Paule Vézelay. In the end I chose James Fox as the artist of my choice because he uses reverse appliqué but in a very modern way, compared to the traditional methods of the Cuna Indians.
