Portrait/Self Portrait Research- artist Frank AuerbachAuerbach was born in Berlin during World War 2 Auerbach parents sent him to Britain to escape the Nazi Jewish camps and his parents later died in 1942 in a concentration camp Auerbach is a figurative painter, who focuses on portraits and city scenes in and around the area of London in which he lives, Camden Town Although sometimes described as expressionistic, Auerbach is not an expressionist painter and the emotion of his work shows a person in distress or in a trance and shows a lot of emotion and darkness and sadness every line in his portraits have a purpose meaning and the shading and shadows make the page stand out and by the lines each picture shows emotion.The technique his used is he will draw the picture and store it then get back and finish it another time he’s been known to be a obsessive man and a perfectionist and each line has a purpose it’s the building blocks and shows the structure of each face expression and structure. Mark QuinnMarc Quinn (born 8 January 1964) is a British artist and one of a loose group known as the Young British Artists, Quinn has used blood, ice and faeces to make sculptures; his work sometimes refers to scientific developments and displays a preoccupation with the mutability of the body and the dualisms that define human life in spiritual and physical, surface and depth, cerebral and sexual.Some of his work is preserved in huge tanks due to preserving his blood etc. Quinn’s sculpture, paintings and drawings often deal with the distanced relationship we have with our bodies, highlighting how the conflict between the ‘natural’ and ‘cultural. ’"Self" is a frozen sculpture of the artist's head made from 4.5 litres of his own blood, taken from his body over a period of 5 years. In interview in 2000, reflecting on the iconic artwork, he remarked, "Well, I think it’s a great sculpture. I’m really happy with it. I think it is inevitable that you have one piece people focus in on. But that's really good because it gets people into the work."The peace has been sculptured normally but uses interesting and different approaches to producing his work it’s attracted a lot of attraction and different audiences.Amedeo ModiglianiJeanne Hébuterne with straw hat, oil on canvas 1918He died at a young age 35 in Paris and did a series of oil based paintings the style of his work is long faces and long features and the page is always filled for example this picture the hat is curved instead of straight across he thinks about how the picture will fit on the canvas and the colours used are warm colours and textures such as yellow, brown etc. and artists in the 70s and on in modern art use this style for animation sculpting at a similar style. Taking a better look at the painting the expressions and shadows used are detailed the way the portrait is positioned the way she’s lent to the side and her hand is resting on her hand and with the long features such as nose and neck. ................
