Over and Under Art

                    There's always more than meets the eye. There's something over and under us. 

These artist/illustrators create works that show us beyond what we see. Some of them show what is really there and some show what they imagine there. It's as if there are worlds beyond our world.

Ordinary Objects with Extraordinary Color

the "Fauves"-

in 1820's B&W photography was invented. After photography became a new common art form, artists had to give the world what black and white photography could not.

1874- Impressionism started. Non realistic art form. This movement started in 1905 in France.

Fauvism is considered a branch of Impressionism. Fauves, means "Wild Beasts" in French. This style uses unnatural strong lines and vivid, bold, abstract colors with natural subject matter.

Movement started by Henri Matisse, Andre Derain.
