New art thread for 2024 starts here! This is a mostly daily thread with a different artist featured in each post, primarily modern and contemporary stuff since that's my thing.
Paintings by self-taught American artist Horace Pippin, 1940s, who took up painting after injuring his arm fighting in WWI and became known for his works exploring daily life of Black Americans as well as pop culture and history. He became the first Black subject of an artist monograph in 1947, shortly after his death.
Paintings by French artist Raoul Dufy, 1920s-30s, who was associated with the Fauvist movement while also working as a commercial illustrator and textile designer.
Paintings by Polish artist and graphic designer Wojciech Fangor, 1960s, who became a major proponent of abstraction in Poland and other Eastern Bloc countries where Socialist Realism had been the dominant style.
