Brief biography (3 to 4 sentences) of Stuart Davis-
Stuart was born in 1894 and grew up in a very artistic environment. His father was art director for a Philadelphia newspaper, and as Stuart got older he became more fascinated with art. He studied with robert Henri and made covers and drawings for The Masses which was apart of the Ash-can School. This was a major turning point for him and in 1928 he went to Paris coming back with a whole new meaning of art. This was the start of pop art, Stuart used letters and symbols to ketch the eyes of people. The shapes and objects would pop out and almost looked layered in a way. He painted what he saw even though it appeared to be abstract.

I like this piece because when I look at it I see more than one meaning, or thing in it. And for every person you will see a different image or a different thing it his work. Over all I like this piece because a different meaning to art and shows how if the objects are placed in different places it really affects the final piece.
Brief biography (3 to 4 sentences) of Robert Indiana
Robert Indiana was born in 1928 and has been fascinated by art his whole life. He paints what he calls the American dream, what all Americans want. Yet he does it in a way that makes his art seem a far fetched elusion. Focusing on three main topics. Eat, Love, and Die. His art makes many people see and look at it in different ways and that is why so many people like his work and why it is so famous.

I like this piece because it gives a special meaning to love. Adding the American colors into his piece also makes it patriotic and very appealing to the eyes. That is why I like it so much because it really defines America.
