3.   Paul Klee – The Berggruen Klee Collection 1987 – The Met Breuer, 5th floor.

Paul Klee was a Swiss- German artist. He did drawing and paintings. His style was influenced by movements in art, such as,             Expressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. At The Met Breuer out of all the pieces in the Berggruen Klee Collection this one I look into the most. Its a little story, it reminds me of a picture book. The line work done well.

4.  Marisol Escobar – The New School, UC, 6th floor.

Marisol Escobar was a French sculpture who showed most of her work in New York. She did drawings too. Marisol attended      The New School. I walk by Marisol’s work every time I go to the 6th floor and it reminds me of our exact project we are working on, I love her use of color.

5.  Sam Taylor Wood – The New School, 66 W 12th St, 4th floor.

Sam Taylor Wood is an artist that works with screen silks and film. Sam always presents a dysfunctional narrative in the work. I was really drawn to Red Snow because I want to know more of whats going on. Who is that man? Is the women dead? Do those photos go together or are they separate images.
