gcse - artist suggestion needed

[Eve]

DS needs to find a portrait artist whose style he can research and then copy for a piece of work.

Any suggestions... Our Google searches have been a bit fruitless.

Guidance as to how to search for artists would be helpful as well?

Art lessons don't sound very inspirational
Look on National Portrait Gallery site - annual BP exhibition - lots of choice. Saatchi gallery has a virtual tour on their website. Tate has a good website too.

hmm, what about hockney/ freud/bacon? All do some really interesting portraiture? I second looking at the NPG website too.

Look at Modigliani- a very distinctive style which is easy to pastiche. Interesting artist to research too.

Zinsky is quite different and would be interesting to look at

Klimt. Example Here

Frida Kahlo's self portraits

Cecily Brown

Rhys Lee

Thomas Wilmer Dewing [[

Komako Sakai Here

Egon Schiele

Alec Goss here

In fact Pinterest is a fantastic source of inspiration full of artists both reknowned and less so. The Frieze art Fair website is worth a look too here.

That sounds a lot more interesting than my GCSE art was.

I too recommend the National Portrait Gallery.

Does it have to be paintings, or could you have a photographer or sculptor?

Agree all the suggestions esp Freud, Hockney Modigliani, but also think

Picasso

And if more traditional
Holbein

Ramsay, great colouring

Lely or Van Dyck

Rembrandt

If photographic portraiture is allowed then have a look at Man Ray and the great Steiglitz photgraphs of Georgia O'Keefe.

I'd go for an artist with a particular recognisable technique which will make the production of his own-work-in-the-style-of easier.

Someone like Julian Opie, Chris ofili or Cezanne
