Are you
looking for ways to spend the last days of Summer? You can celebrate American
Artist Appreciation Month. You can read about American painters such as Andy
Warhol who was a pop artist who made a series of paintings of Marilyn Monroe.
He also painted soup cans. His paintings have psychedelic colors and were made
using various techniques to create his artworks.
Another
painter was Jean-Michel Basquiat who was part of the Neo-expressionism
movement. The Neo-Expressionism art movement began in the late 1970s and became
popular for its use in making figures of the human body. They also combined
mythology and emotions which were expressed in their paintings. Jean-Michel
Basquiat worked with Andy Warhol. He sold his artworks in postcards and sweatshirts.
If you like
floral paintings, then you will enjoy seeing Georgia O’ Keeffe’s paintings. She
was an American Modernist artist who painted landscapes about New Mexico. Also,
she painted large flowers and made abstract art with oil paint on canvases. Nonetheless,
you can celebrate American Artist Appreciation Month by visiting museums and
