1. Marcel Duchamp
Father of conceptual art, sculptor, painter, and pioneer in plastic art. Integrated objects and text intending to challenge the mind, not simply the eyes of the viewer. He aimed to create a "mythological effect" by asking viewer to understand how the original object has been changed by the presence of other objects and words.

2. Hamish Fulton
London born artist who enjoys walking and the number seven, which reoccurs through his work as the "magic number". The titles of his work are often romantic and pastoral, recalling his observations and emotions through his many solitary rambles. Plain typography is often layered over photographs of the landscapes.

YVES TANGUY

Raymond Georges Yves Tanguy, who goes by just Yves Tanguy was a French surrealist painter born in 1900 in France. His paintings are immediately recognizable because of his style. Most of them are abstract landscapes, with the occasional addition of colors for contrast. His works are sometimes described as "alien landscapes with various abstract shapes". Personally, I really like his style of painting, it shows creativity and imagination. \

JOAN MIRO

Joan Miro was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona in 1893. He later died in 1983. A museum, "The Fundació Joan Miró" was dedicated to his work in Barcelona in 1975. His work has mainly been involved Fauvism, Cubism, and Surrealism. Once exposed to different artists, his style changed to be focused much more on Surrealism. Some of his works seem childlike, and have a youthful theme to them, with the vibrant colors and shapes. Biomorphic shapes are shapes which seem to exhibit the appearance of a living thing, shown through the shapes in his work.
