blog assignment 4: inspiring artistic work

Mark Rothko
One of my favorite artists. His work consistently blows my mind. His use of color as emotion and scale is unparalleled.





Richard Avedon

Particularly his American West series. A truly excellent portrait photographer, he pared the image down to its one basic element, the subject. He let the subject tell their story, often times though facial expression only. He was a master at noticing and capturing so much in a split second.





Saed Meshki
Iranian designer. Does beautiful sparse, ethereal work.

  1. Rothko is one of my favorites as well. His paintings are like auras captured on canvas.
