  Art in Poland 1949-1999, Anda Rottenberg
New art was to epitomise the opening of a new era, also in terms of the socio-political system, as one of the co-authors and theoreticians of the entire project and an outstanding artist himself, Zbigniew Dłubak, had emphasised.
Invited to show their works were both students and recent graduates of the art schools, who were predominantly tutored by conforming professors, in hope that years of educational effort had not been wasted.
The dysfunction of artistic state agencies, whose task was to ensure greater throughput of art distribution, stimulated the growth of their substitutes in a form of various groups — grass-root communities established instinctively or spontaneously, which were to care and protect, and help with art promotion.

 1949-1983, The Art of Jean Martin
People in art education sometimes excuse their clumsy and vicious diatribes at student's expense by saying, "If they can't stand up to it, they should give up now." Sam Francis was never an educator, and I don't think he would have excused himself that way even if he were.
Jean was a woman with a BA in Art; Tom was a man with an MA in Anthropology.
Although I regarded her art to be as important to her as mine was to me, I was yet the artist in our family and she was the amateur.

 1949 by Mark Rothko in Posters and Art Prints
By 1949, his preferred format was an upright rectangular canvas or paper with two or three stacked rectangular forms varying in area but free of the picture edge.
The colored bands, which he felt must be "sensuous or functional," took on a wide range of hues to which Mark Rothko added lightness or darkness, translucency or opacity, high or low saturation, smooth or brushy textures, and contrasts of color area.
Increasingly, his work darkened as he grew older and his last paintings and large works on paper are simple and somber, perhaps a metaphor for his decision to end his own life.

 Art & Framing Solutions - Featured Artist
Roy Lichtenstein, a New York City native, began his art studies in 1939 at the Art Student's League under urban scene painter Reginald Marsh.
As a central figure in the Pop Art movement of the 1960s, Lichtenstein sought an anonymous style, removing all personal reference from his work to convey the appearance of mass production.
Lichtenstein's unconventional paintings, regarded by many as beyond the bounds of fine art during the 1960s, are now considered icons of the Pop Art movement and have secured the artist's place in art history.
