History of Cartoon artists.




Superman


-Created by Joseph Shuster - comic book artist
&  Jerry siegel - writer

Joseph Shuster was born in  July 10th 1914 and passed away on July 30th 1992.
he and Jerry siegel were best friends who met in high school.
At first when they have made Superman as an SF comic book no one took it to make it a book but one magazine called <Action Comics> took it in but put it deep inside, most of the people thought it was not a very realistic story so no one would search for it.
But soon after the comic book was not even able to sell it if superman was not on the cover page. This was in the year of 1938.
In 1940 the magazine were sold about 1250000 books every month.
But when they were out of stories they just worked with young artists to just print out the copies.

Their life was kind of sad,,,, after this they have problem with the 출판사 and they live out to be poor. Shuster got food from the society right before he was starved to death, and when siegel went to the publisher for 택배배달 his fellow writers would give him some money in his hands. why were they like this after a success in their life? I want to know. But they get some money after the movie superman was first made in 1978. but i still wonder why they had to live so poor? why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?why?
please tell me too.

Jackson Pollock



he is genius!
one of the most genius painter of all!
creator of abstract expressionist!
Birth : January 28, 1912 /
Death :  August 11, 1956

he died in the age of 44,
There is a video clip about jackson pollock called 'dripped' it's an animated film of his life.
It was a very interestin clip to see!
http://www.vimeo.com/24455397

If you see in the video you can see that jack pollock is described as a thief, and i think the eating part means like absorbing the art itself inside of him.

People say that pollock was a very aggressive man. He used to draw pictures like picasso. When the critictizers said something about his painting infront of him he actually started to fight with them.
Critics, criticized him saying his works are like picasso but picasso is better than him, even though he would try hard he would not be able to follow picasso's footstep.
(the picture below is the one that critics criticized.)

but when he poured the paint on the painting by mistake he knew that that was his way. His style of painting was a BRAND NEW style of painting in human history.
His most expensive painting was [No.5] in 1948. It was sold on the price of $ 104,000,000 by David Martinez at 2006.11.1(New York Times).
NO.5

KIM CHANG YEOL 김창열



Waterdrop painting, he is a wellknown painter in korea and throughout the world these days.

Kim Chang Yeol is a famous artist for drawing water drops.

Born : 1929/12/24 Pyeongnam mang-san

Death ; STILL ALIVE

Things that’s good to know : In 1980’s he started to draw water drops.


In 1990’s he started to draw waterdrops on newspapers but the paper wasn’t good enough so he tried to draw it on canvas but he wanted some writings behind it just like newspapers so he decided to draw thousand characters classics(천자문) first and draw water drops on top of it, which is quite a fascinating thing to do. To him Kim Chang Yeol the characters classic meant a lot of things in his childhood, throughout many of his works with thousand characters classic there is none repeated character in his paintings.


Meaning of Water drop :

There are many feelings that he explains about waterdrops. He was a college student when Korean war started in 1950, so half of his classmates and his friends has died over those years and that has been his greatest sorrows. He made his sorrows from war to many paintings, but the water drop he says it’s his wound from war and also it means healing to himself at the same time. As he drew it they healed him.

HIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHI!!!!!!!!! so another artist said that ‘the water drop in his painting shows us a new feature and we see another fantasy in the water drop.’

Kim Chang Yeol himself said that ‘ Water drop is who I am.(although I’m not sure what he’s talking about…) This(water drop) in Buddhism and Taoism means the world of nothing. The thing about..Everything in this world exists and have to be disappeared, I explained it all in the water drop.’

Naver reporter said-like when you see the monks weep their yard and spraying water is kind of an action of purify. And this is thought at the painting too.

 ‘putting space in water drop.’ It says that it was his mind when he started to draw water drops. Basically he is drawing what he thinks it's his past, present and future. Some of us may not know what he's talking about, because i inderstood why it was water drop just a little bit only after the researching, but i think that makes it more special. He has his own private way to talk about his life. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋi think not many of people would know to describe their life so shortly yet so interesting to millions of people.

Andy Warhol



Andy Warhol is the one of the most famous artist now in 20th century. First to organize his profile :-
Andrew Warhol,
Born : August 6, 1928 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania US
Died : Febuary 22, 1987
[팝아트사진들좀 넣고]

He was famous for many things such as painter, print maker, filmmaker, but he is famous in the world for visual art movement which is known as pop art these days. Today when we think of pop art we most likely think of Andy Warhol, that’s one of the fact that people can say Andy Warhol is famous with pop art.


The highest bid for Andy Warhol’s painting was $100million, which was 1963 Eight Elvises. This makes Warhol as valuable as Gogh’s, Picasso’s painting price.
 


From the time when Warhol was young he enjoyed to draw, listening to the radio and collected movie star’s picture and placed it around his bed. Warhol himself said that that was a part where his personality was made. He was an outcast from the society people called him mamaboy, he was a boy who loved his mum too much.
In 1968, June 3rd in Warhol’s Studio a man called Valerie Solanas shot Warhol 3 times but only the 3rd one really got through him in the lungs stomach and etc, doctors in hospital said he was dead but he was alive and this attempted murder was made as a movie 1995 called [I shot Andy Warhol].


Warhol’s art world is related to America’s product. He used a lot of america’s product, he said that ‘The Coca-cola I drink is the same Coca-cola that the America President drink.” He wanted to come to the people with the most common subject to the public.

Warhol has his own museum in his name. The Andy Warhol museum it one of the biggest america’s museum that is given to an artist, the other one is Andy Warhol museum of Modern arts.




By researching about 'the' Andy Warhol i have realized that people couldn't help loving his works.ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Lee Joong Seop 이중섭



Lee Joong Seop 이중섭
1916/4/10 ~ 1956/9/6 , He was a famous artist in South Korea, and he still is.
He was born in a rich family, and he fell in love with a japanese women called  山本方子 (Yamamoto Masaco). He was living a happy life with his family. But after the marriage Korea war began so they had some tough times but soon they go to Jeju Island, their money problem was a big problem for their family living in a small house altogether but they were still happy. These times didn't go as far as Joong seop thought. The reality brought them to live a part, he sends his family to japan and he stays in Jeju. Because of his sorrow of missing his family his art world creates, in his drawing he mostly shows a life of a happy family or the sorrow of family departing, and mostly about missing them.
Him having no money to draw makes him the new sensation of art world. He starts to draw on the cigarette paper, this was a new expression of art in history, and he started to draw on every blank


 he sees.
love

But as this was happening he could never get rid of his desire of him getting reunited with his family, which never comes true. But his sadness brings a pure soul to Korea's art.
If you take a look at Lee Joong Seop's works you see he mostly drew a happy form of family or mainly COWS. People say that the pure heart of cows and the patient things in cow appears in his life too. The recorded lifestyle of Lee Joong Seop says that he liked cows since the age of teenager. He used to look in to neighbours cows and draw and got accused as cow theif. The drawing of cows were the drawing of his inside and self portrait. Also cows in korea appears to koreans like a very close friend because people couldn't really live without the cows, they needed them to fill their stomach. People think thats why Lee joon seop especially drew cows more as a sign of his thing.


Before his death he has once in a life time 딴따라라라 exhibition at midopa department store(미도파백화점.) which his kind friends has it all arranged for him.

this picture is the map of where in jeju
the memorial hall of lee joong seop is

His death was rather sad. He had no money he spent most of his life smoking and had some issue with himself. But his health was heading through the climax when he was under nutrition because of this he also had a compication with neurasthenia and hepatitis.When his friends searched for him he was already dead, he was dead at the Red Cross Hospital at the age of 41. Now in Jeju people renovated Lee Joong Seop's house and made it as a memorial hall.

this picture is the title of
 heaven of peach and children

Lee Joong Seop i hope many people in the world would have some interest in him too. Very good talent lost in so short time. I hope he would be with his family in the next life or heaven.

Marc Chagall


Mr Chagall.
Marc Chagall
Chagall  1887/ 7/ 6 ~ 1985/ 3/ 28
The magician of colours, that’s what the people say when they talk about Chagall.
I love Mr Chagall. Chagall was a Jewish artist, he shows a strong jewish minds in most of his pictures. He uses a lot of art skills, such as engraving, stained glass, murals, sets, tapestries, ceramic and sculptures etc,(He was a very talented man.) In 1962 chagall had a stained glass starting for the synagogue of Hebrew University of Hadassah Medical Center, Jerusalem, it is the hospital where I was born! He also has done a lot of engraving. I especially like the Bible story prints. Not only because I am Christian but it was very interesting for me too see the story of small parts of bible in one picture like that. Another fun painting to watch was the Fairy tale themed paintings which is a fun paintings to see too!

synagogue of hadassah hospital.
