Chapter 20: Art Since 1945

Artists: Pablo Picasso

There is so much to say about Picasso's genius that it is simply impossible to say it all. An intellectual and a romantic, Picasso made a major  impact on art movements in both of the centuries in which he lived. Of course, images speak louder than words, so visit:

Picasso: The Official Website
http://www.clubinternet.com/picasso/
This site ought to be investigated by every art student, if only for the introduction to Picasso written by his son. Lots of good stuff can be found here that can help you understand his work and his impact on the world.  

Artists: Lee Krasner

It is unfortunate that one of the country's most emblematic representatives of Abstract Expressionism had to labor in the shadow of her husband, Jackson Pollock. Krasner is only now beginning to receive the recognition her work deserves. The following websites are helpful in learning more:

Art People: Dorothy and Herbert Vogel

The love and dedication this couple have lavished upon the American and international art scenes prove one very important point: you don't have to be rich or from royal blood to be a patron of the arts. This couple has made an impact on the artists they have supported, as well as on the public, due to the recent purchase of their collection.
