GREAT MODERN ARTISTS AZ
Andy Tuohy y Christopher Masters · Youth Editorial · 2017
British illustrator Andy Tuohy portrays some of the great artists of the 20th and 21st centuries with simple lines and flat colors.. Their illustrations are a reflection of the innovations with which these artists produced a profound and lasting impact on the art world.: the portrait of Josef Albers is made from colored squares, Georges Barque in juxtaposed shots and Alberto Giacometti appears as a wiry man, spiked and rough. From this guide, which does not claim to be exhaustive and encyclopedic, but rather visual and indicative, two things are appreciated: the presence of women like Louise Bourgeois, Barbara Hepworth, Yayoi Kusama or Georgia O'keeffe and that their gaze crosses the barriers of the West to speak to us, among others, del chino Zhang Xiaogang, the Japanese Jiro Yoshihara, Sudanese Ibrahim El-Salahi, the Lebanese Saloua Raouda Choucair or the Indian Maqbool Fida Husain. A global review, simple and very pleasant for modern art. S.M.
