MODERN ART

Art is one of the most creative forms of human expression. The art over the years is changed and in fact there are various forms of art. Some artists like David Foster and Marcus Levine through their passion for art have developed a new form of art inspired by the " Pointillism". They use nails to create their sculptures . Davids's work depict the Beatles , Marilyn Monroe , the Queen Elizabeth or some animals , while Marcus' works represent the human body. Marcus's work are exposed in the gallery of London .
- I think that modern art is very beautiful and original . The techniques are simple but creative . The artistics works are very expressive, even if they are cold and superficial.
