Looking for an artist - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I'm looking for an artist (any kind) with pieces that consist of only one color, but of several different tones, i.e., everything is purple with indigo or dark purple. Any help is appreciated.

Do you want a specific artist, or do you just need pieces?

I'd recommend Georgia O'Keefe. Pretty flower paintings.

Chuck Close did a number of pieces that are different shades of gray.

Maybe Pablo Picasso (during his blue period)?

or Chagall? He used monochromatics quite a bit

Monochromatic, that's the word I was looking for. I think I will look at Chuck Close some more, but is are there any leaders of Monochromatic mixed media?

at the same time picasso was doing his thing, Juan Gris was putting out some nice monochromatic collages - mostly shades of brown. at times, the two artists' works was indistinguishable.

Alberto Reguera (Spanish) or maybe Mark Rothko?

Reguera work:

Rothko work:

Also, Jacques Monory (French) does all his works in shades of blue:

I'm not quite sure what you're searching for but a good place to start is with Colour Field artists, like Mark Rothko or Barnett Newman. Also look at Malevich and Yves Klein's work for monochromatic art.

I did a quick search and this article on an art exhibition called "Monochromatic Mostly" that might be of interest came up.

Monochromatic Mostly __________________ Whether we write or speak or do but look We are ever unapparent. What we are Cannot be transfused into word or book. Our soul from us is infinitely far. However much we give our thoughts the will To be our soul and gesture it abroad, Our hearts are incommunicable still. In what we show ourselves we are ignored. The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged By any skill of thought or trick of seeming. Unto our very selves we are abridged When we would utter to our thought our being. We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams, And each to each other dreams of others' dreams. Fernando Pessoa, 1918 Last edited by little_tippler; 06-03-2005 at 04:28 AM..
