But the good news is that I've finally found one.  I first learned about Pollock and Abstract Expression in an Early Modern course in university. This painting is one of most expensive paintings of all time. It is values at $140 million.

Nighthawks

 I remember seeing this painting from either from an art appreciation class or  community college from my an American Art and Architecture. Either way, this artwork stood out to me. The painting depicts late nightlife in 1940s Chicago. From the outside, the streets look deserted in spite of four people in a diner. It also depicts how empty and lonely urban city life can be.Even the couple don't look like they are together. It reminds me of the phrase, "together all alone." Artwork Facts Artist: Edward Hooper Year:  1942 Medium: Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 33.1 in x 60.0 in Movement: American Realism

Romare Bearden 1911-1988

Since this is Black History Month, I would like to discuss an artwork from one of my favorite Black artists. Today, I will discussing Romare Bearden. Romare Bearden was a twentieth centry visual artist who was known for his collages and photomontage compsitions. One of the favorite artworks to do is collages! Even though his collages remind me of the Harlem Renaissance, started his collages in the mid-1960s. I had to much trouble trying to pick out an artwork to display on this post. So, I'm going to post the artist himself. HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH!
