Bonnie MacLean was born in Philadelphia in the year 1939. She began her work at the Fillmore Auditorium, where due to her amazing work, she got promoted to art director. Her style of work is psychedelic and incorporates gothic elements, before this she was heavily influenced by Wes Wilson who was the main poster artist for the Filmore Auditorium due to his provacative posters inspired by Art Nouveau.

The influence is very clearly seen through the very similar use of bold, distorted text used to creatively fill the space and gaps in their illustrations. There are also similarities in the use of bold, blocky colours that help to create that provocative style.

To create this piece I was influenced by Bernie Fuchs' use of chairs and the overlapping of different characters, and Bob Peak's use of colour with the  monochromatic Ladies in different colours. I took photos of my sister on a chair and used photoshop to edit the image to create the effect I wanted.

In my 2020 home I included a poster of WW3, as at the very start of the year world war 3 nearly started. I also included coronavirus cell structure models to show how far it has spread and how out of control it got. I included an ipad with the NHS track and trace app on the screen to show how reliant we are on technology to not only keep us entertained but to keep us safe too. There are disposable face masks and an NHS banner with a man clapping at the door to show support for the NHS. I incorporated Trump and Biden to represent the big election that took place in America this year. Finally I chose to add Boris Johnson struggling to balance on falling stacks of 1 pound coins to represent the struggling and unstable economy that Boris is so desperately trying to save whilst trying to keep the population safe from the virus.

Max Bill was born in 1903 on December 22nd  in Winterthur, Switzerland and died December 9th 1994 in Berlin, Germany. He was a Swiss graphic artist, architect, industrial designer, painter and sculptor, who was important for his sophisticated, disciplined advertising designs. 
Bill originally wanted to become a silversmith, but the work of the architect Le Corbusier influenced him to study architecture at Bauhaus. Whilst he was there he studied metalwork, painting and stage design. In 1930, he set up his own studio in Zurich and focused on sculpture, painting and architecture while earning money by designing advertisements. In 1937, he formed the Allianz group of Swiss abstract artists. After 1944 he became increasingly active in industrial design, creating products such as chairs and wall sprockets.
Bill cofounded the Ulm School of Design, Germany. He designed the school's buildings, planned its curriculum and was director of the department of architecture and product design there. He then served as a professor of environmental design at the State Institute of fine arts, Hamburg.  In 1987 he recieved the Frank J Malina Leonardo Award for lifetime achievement.

Marianne Brandt was born in 1893, October 1st  in Chemnitz, Germany and died June 18th 1983 in Kirchburg, Saxony. She was a German painter, Bauhaus photographer and designer who specialised in metal work. Brandt focused on painting early in her career and began her studies at a private art school in Weimar, Germany, at age 18. In 1912, she transferred to the Grand Ducal College of Art, also in Weimar. Her early work consisted primarily of expressionistic portraits, which were exhibited for the first time in 1918 at the Galerie Gerstenberger in Chemnitz. She married Norwegian painter Erik Brandt a year later, and they returned to Weimar in 1921. She was the first woman to be accepted into the metal workshop and she approached her work from a functionalist perspective that was revolutionary for her time, and the simple clean lines of her pieces reflected the modernist influence of her mentor.
She created an amazing amount of everyday items, including ashtrays, coffee sets and teapots, her lamp designs were especially noteworthy. Brandt also worked with photography at the Bauhaus, taking photographs that featured unusual angles, self-portraits and disorienting and distorting reflections in glass and metal surfaces. Eventually Brandt became deputy head of the metal workshop but resigned when it merged with other departments. After receiving her diploma in 1929, she began to work on furniture production and interior design projects at the Berlin firm of architect and Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius. Later that year Brandt became the head of the design department at the Ruppelwerk hardware factory in Gotha, Germany.

The Velocity of cars and light is an abstract oil painting from 1913 in Italy, painted by Giacomo Balla. He created a geometric and monochromatic pattern using browns to adhere to the art movement, Futurism. Futurism used elements of neo-impressionism and cubism to generate compositions that conveyed the idea of dynamism.
​The Battleship Potemkin poster is considered to be one of the greatest movie posters of all time. The use of bold primary colours along side the perspective and geometry used in this poster presents an impressive graphic effect.
Both posters use geometry to create the visual effects shown in the artwork, each in a different way to the other.

Glasgow is one of the few places in England where you will find Art Nouveau. In Glasgow the movement was named the "group of four", it was created by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Mackintosh's work highly influenced the movement of Art Nouveau. the most famous Art Nouveau building is the Glasgow school of arts building by Mackintosh.

The most important part of the Art nouveau architecture were the ornaments, these were used especially for the exterior of the buildings, along with marble, glass, tiles, metal applications ad colourful pieces. One of the most important Art Nouveau buildings, the Viennna Secession, displays floral ornaments. It was built by Joseph Maria Olbrich in 1898, it was the first exhibition building in central Europe to be dedicated to modern art. 

 The Palace of Longoria is an Art Nouveau palace that a politician and financier Francisco Javier Gonzalez Longoria ordered to be built in the district of Chueca in the city of Madrid, Spain. It is known as Madrid's most notable example of modernist architecture. 

From the 1870's, Nancy began attracting young and cultivated people and its population doubled between 1870 and 1914. The economic development of Nancy was conciderable and the group of Art Nouveau artists known as "Ecole de Nancy" made the capital of Lorraine a major centre of french decorative arts.

This Claude Monet painting is influenced by the art of Japan through Japanese printingmaking, screen-painting and woodblocking. He admired the linearity and stylisations of Japanese prints. The bridge is a very typical Japanese bridge alongside gingko trees, bamboo and Japanese fruit trees. Monet upholds the dull, dark colours used in most art of Japan, however patterns are very prominent in Japanese art and Monet does not portray this.

​

Vincent Van Gogh's 'Bridge in the rain' painting was based on a print by the famous artist Utagawa Hiroshige. He designed a border of Japanese characters to keep the size of thr original print. Aswell as this, Van Gogh painted with brighter and more intense colours. He included a pattern within his work with Japanese writing helps to support how influenced he was by the art of Japan.
