Artists Use Of Camouflage
Michael Craig-Martin
About:
Michael Craig-Martin was born to Irish parents, Paul and Rhona, both devout Catholics, who lived in London, where his father worked as an agricultural economist for the British Ministry of Food. They wanted their son to be born in Ireland, and went to Dublin for the birth to take place, then returned to London In 1945, the family moved to Washington D.C. In the U.S. he was given a religious education, initially for eight years in a Roman Catholic school run by nuns, and then in the English Benedictine Priory School, where pupils were encouraged
to look at religious imagery in illuminated glass panels and stained-glass windows. He gained an interest in art through one of the priests, who was an artist, and was also strongly impressed by a display in the Phillips Collection of work by Mark Rothko.
Work Examples:
My Views:
For my Camouflage Project, I chose to look at Michael Craig-Martin.
He tends to use a lot of pink and purple which is not really to my taste.
In the first picture you can see there is a lot of detail and effort that has
been put in to that piece of artwork and I think he has achived the
camouflage look very well.
The second piece appeals to me as its football which I have a strong
interest in. Again the coulours are not to my appeal but the design is
very simple yet clever.
