These were the two arts and artists I thought best to include into this. Edvard Much was born in Norway in 1863 with 4 other siblings, after his mother died of tuberculosis when he was 5 his father raised them from then on. Munch's father suffered from mental illness and ended up raising them with deep seated issues and fears. Much of his work was an end product from that. Regardless he was celebrated as an artist with multiple works left behind most which was donated to the Norwegian Government. The other artist, Claude Monet was born much earlier in France on the year 1840. Monet was a normal student but resented having to be cooped up in the class room, his biggest interest was in drawing pictures and painting. His mother supported him on his passion but his father thought he should go into the business industry. He moved to Paris to pursue his art passion. Through most of his life, Monet suffered from depression and that hit him hard when his wife Camille died. Nevertheless he would go on to make other paintings and gain patrons along the way.
The reason I choose these two artist for research is because these two are abstract painters fraught with internal problems, that links them together with me. My biggest problems are Autism and Depression and as my bio says I have been the artsy kid for forever. Reading about Munch's and Monet's stories reassures me that the round table of iconic artists is less excusive than one would suspect. The details that link my sculpture with these pieces would be the use of orange and blue on the same picture plain, acting as complements on both pieces. Also the face screaming his head off is the same sort feature on Expression Coliseum, that concept of abstract expression as the original sketch of the sculpture.
