The famous jungle themed painting by Frida Kahlo de Rivera has been a rage among art collectors. From her Mexican jungle-themed art pieces to merchandise like handbags are a major demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we look at Surrealistic master Salvador Dali\u2019s masterpiece \u2018The Swallow\u2019s Tail\u2019, our mind perceives it as some mathematic formulae. But it is more appropriately related to psychoanalysis and Freud.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet in an attempt to predict the occurrence of abrupt phenomena, master Salvador got inspired by the \u2018catastrophe theory\u2019 and created his last painting, <\/span>\u2018The Swallow\u2019s Tail\u2019. <\/span><\/i>Rene Thom, the French mathematician was one of the influences for such an art piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

When looked at Marcel Duchamp\u2019s \u2018The Waterfall\u2019 and \u2018The Illuminating \u00a0Gas\u2019, a feeling of a 3d V-Box movie is felt. Such visual impact was created by Duchamp when rest of the world believed that he had given up on art-making. Such is the story of the \u2018Dada\u2019 pioneer of the readymade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Artist Jasper Johns mentioned it as \u2018the strangest work of art in any museum\u2019; one of the reasons it is moved to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.<\/span><\/p>\n

Agnes Martin\u2019s ink-on-paper works became a part of modern art which depict her calm and serene mind even at the age of 92. Her painting depicts her vintage in a surreal way. For a layman, the painting may be just another version of scribbled or childish work, but it actually depicts a potted planted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Large and rectangular swaths of colour describe Rothko\u2019s free expression of emotions and thoughts. Such pieces are provocative in a way to ignite awe and empathise with the creator\u2019s thoughts. All the bold shades of browns and reds depict some events in the artist\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n

This painting also relates to the Russian-American artist\u2019s suicidal death in the same year.<\/span><\/p>\n

When one hears the word, \u2018Bullfight\u2019, it is related to Paso dable (the famous bullfight dance form).<\/span><\/p>\n

Francis Bacon although brings \u2018Bullfight\u2019 through his sketches of \u2018A study of a Bull\u2019. Though bacon relates to pork, here Bacon is related to Modern Art and a sketch of a Bull!<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at Herring’s doodle sketches, it reminds one of a modern-day comic art. Keith Heiring may be perceived as a blueprint artist but he may have been pioneering into doodles or comic artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

He addressed lovemaking, sex and AIDS in an era when all of these were a taboo in the society.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last but not the least in modern art is Jackson Pollock. His colour droplets of black, silver and red in the shape of a cocoon reflects his inclination towards Abstract Expressions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The painting is a mix of Pollock\u2019s own hair strands, his memoir of sand granules of his last visit to the beach and some fur of a Polar Bear.<\/span><\/p>\n
