Interior with Phonograph. 1924.
A famous artist of the twentieth century, Henry Matisse had painted "Interior With a Phonograph" in 1924 with an interesting play of spaces that are seen through other spaces.
This is carried out by the interior setting and differing of decorative patterns, such as the indian wall hanging, the table cloth, the wallpapers and the man who appears in the reflection of the mirror. This work contains individualistic ideas in the sense that Matisse is presenting a scene of ambiguity. With the placement of this man, who may or may not be him. But is also showing a means of reflection. I think this work reflects the idea of leaving one's stylistic signature. The technique of placing the individual in the background defines his style, and interest of including a person in the

Here I came across an artist known as Edgar Mueller. His studio is the street. He paints over large areas of urban public life and gives them a new appearance, thereby challenging the perceptions of passers-by.The observer becomes a part of the new scenery offered. While going about their daily life, people change the painting’s statement just by passing through the scene. What I found particularly impressive is if one looks from the correct spot, the 3 dimensional painting becomes a 'perfect Illusion'. This is more of a personal interest.
Andy Warhol. Self Portrait (Red), Private Collection
Presents Andy Warhol. The famous pop-culture artist Andy Warhol shows a portait of himself which can be observed that he was addressing one of art's great themes of 'an aging master looking at himself with "melancholy introspection," (meaning he had strong self observation and concious of innner thoughts). By portraying himself through different decades of his life, Warhol became the most important subject matter of his many portraits. Which is interesting considering most of his other works were in fact portraits of other famous people. His works certainly reflect individual ideas from the way he suggests his 'high status' through his approach to his work.
