child's art

[glover22]

does anyone know of any artists who use the simple style of childrens drawings in their art work? also are there any artists who create art so that you see either a topic or view in a different way, maybe distorted or through someone else's perspective?!?thanks x x

Don't know exactly what you're looking for. Govinder Nazran, Jelene Morris modern artists. Henri Rousseau 19th century. And probably lots of 60's pop art stuff like Hockney and Warhol.

The art movement "Cobra" specialised in childish drawings.It began in Denmark and the name Cobra was chosen as the letters were taken from the names of the 3 cities involved. COpenhagen, BRussels and Amsterdam. Karel Appel is perhaps the most renowned. His paintings are often of animals and are incredibly innocent and "happy" looking!

Much of the cubist movement (Picasso, Deschamps) involved distorting the angle of view so that one saw, for example, a person in profile but a full-front eye. Or a sitll life showing the flat surface of a table as if from the top, but with the legs visible in profile, and the items on the table from all different angles. Or a nude descending a staircase all at once, so she has multple legs and body parts as she moves through space.

Howard Hodgkin, uses colourful abstract bold shapes which initally appear to be similar to children's paintings.

keith Haring, graffiti inspired paintings.

Ecsher springs to mind for altered viewpoints and perspective.
