Today’s #Spacetober prompt is Earth. The Earth as we know wouldn’t be as hospitable now, with its stable orbit & climate if it weren’t for a catastrophic collision 4.5 billion years ago, known as The Big Splash which gave us our unusually large satellite, the Moon. This linocut print illustrates the formation of the Earth’s Moon in a comic book influenced pop art style. 🧵1/n
Ok starting a new art thread for 2023! Here's the deal: a mostly daily thread with a different artist every day (sometimes I repeat from previous years if I feel like featuring other work/projects), primarily modern and contemporary since that's my thing. I'm even making a hashtag for it in case that makes it easier for folks to follow. Enjoy! #art#BigArtThread
Works by multidisciplinary Italian-Scottish artist Eduardo Paolozzi, 1960s-70s, known as one of the first Pop artists, making collages that co-opted advertising imagery as early as the 1940s.
Inflatable sculpture by American artist Ann Slavit, 1970s-80s, whose use of women's legs in her earliest work was a commentary on objectification of women's bodies in media.
