5 Artist's Websites

1.) Alex Grey

-His work mostly deals with human anatomy and it's expression through certain emotions.  He also has a lot of self portraits from different periods of his life.

- I like the amount of information that is in his website.  There are also a lot of his early works from when he was a kid.

- I think the web site could be a little more sleek.  Maybe more white rather than black.

2.)Cindy Sherman

-Her work is very provocative and a little disturbing. She takes classical images and poses and kind of pokes fun at them.

-I like the arrangement of her work in the specific galleries.

-I don't like the advertisements in the home page.

3.)Cao Fei

-She does many different types of work, one in which she took models from second life.

-I like how you can change the different background colors.  It adds a different contrast to her works.

-I don't like her color choices though.  I think the pink and the yellow make the page hard to look  at.

4.)Florian Maier-Aichen

-He is a photographer that takes very serene pictures of landscapes and other objects of nature.

-I like how clean and neat everything is in his site.  White backgrounds make everything look really nice.

-He really doesn't have a very extensive collection on his website.

5.)William Kentridge

-He uses film, drawing, and photo to take certain topics in media and make them into comical scenarios.

-Site is very easy to navigate around.

-The font is very boring.
