Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 My brain is not working today (no coffee yet), so I need some help please. I need a famous artist that was born in England, or is know as an English artist. We are adding an artist study to our cultural geography lessons and studied Picasso for Spain and Seurat for France. oh, and if you can think of a Russian artist also, that would help to.

freerange Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 John Constable if you want classic/cliche, L. S. Lowry for gritty northern realism, David Hockney or Banksy for modern work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candid Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thomas Gainsborough would be my first pick but I am very fond of Waterhouse. Maybe Watts (Frederick not George). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmmaNZ Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I was going to suggest Lowry as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Turner is another idea for Britain. Perhaps Kandinsky for Russia? Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 My first thought for Russia is Fabrerge and the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Year, I first thought of Gainsborough or Turner for the UK and Faberge for Russia. Kadinsky is a good idea too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanSue Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Oh, Turner!! He's our favorite :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelli Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 We just finished studying Great Britain and Russia in our world geography studies. The artists and works that I picked for England were:Thomas Gainsborough's Mr.and Mrs. Andrews, John Everett Millais' Cherry Ripe, Joseph Mallord William Turner's Transept of Fountains Abbey-Evening, Richard Wilson's Snowdon from Llyn Nantlle. The artists and works I picked for Russia were: Kandinsky's Yellow, Red, Blue and Chagall's Les Maries de la Tour Eiffel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've been reading about the life of Beatrix Potter. I know she is not known as an artist, but she really was a talented artist. She was quite amazing at a young age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebacabunch Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Turner, for sure and I love leighton and Waterhouse as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amie Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I've been reading about the life of Beatrix Potter. I know she is not known as an artist, but she really was a talented artist. She was quite amazing at a young age. I was going to suggest Beatrix Potter as well--especially if this is for younger children. Maybe not the most mainstream pick for an "artist", but appealing and accessible for children. (We found a great book about her art at our library, btw.)
