4 artists

Gregory Crewsdon: his work contains landscapes and very few living creatures in the work. When the artist does add humans to the work they are often understated and have a sense of belonging to the work or blending in the piece. A lot of his works has an empty feeling that causes the viewer to question what is going on.
Teun Hocks:This work uses humans but uses it in a way that adds interest in the piece. I like the work because it has a quirky sense that makes the viewer really stand up and notice. Unlike the previous work (Crewsdon's people were understated) the people pop out of the work and intrigues the viewer because they are interested in the story behind the work.
Jeff Wall: His work places things from everyday life together to create a scene that the viewer can relate to. He uses real life in an inovative way such as the wind blowing away papers from a person or showing the effects of war. He also chooses to play with color. It is chosen deliberately based on the message he is trying convey.
Cindy Sherman: I love her work she uses the concept of feminism and displays women in different lights. She uses black and white rather then color to express her message. There is one piece that shows a woman outside in the city, demonstrating how women had to go get jobs when the men left to fight in WWII.
