I searched some informations about the authors of the scenes will be used in my project, Yayoi Kusama，Wassily Kandinsky，Piet Cornelies Mondrian, David Hockney and Andy Warhol.

Yayoi Kunama Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist working in a variety of media. Using painting, sculpture, film, and installation, Kusama produces a body of work unified in its use of repetitive, densely patterned polka dots. Considered a predecessor of Pop Art, she was born on March 22, 1929 in Matsumoto City. Kusama has explained her use of repetition and polka dots in her work as a means to explore infinity and obsessively negate the self. SOURCE: Artnet Worldwide Corporation. (2017). Yayoi Kusama.

Wassily Kandinsky

Wassily Wassilyevich Kandinsky (/kænˈdɪnski/; Russian: Васи́лий Васи́льевич Канди́нский, Vasiliy Vasil’yevich Kandinskiy, pronounced [vaˈsʲilʲɪj kɐnˈdʲinskʲɪj]; 4 December (16 December by the Gregorian calendar) 1866 – 13 December 1944) was a Russian painter and art theorist. He is credited with painting one of the first recognised purely abstract works. Born in Moscow, Kandinsky spent his childhood in Odessa, where he graduated at Grekov Odessa Art school. He enrolled at the University of Moscow, studying law and economics. Successful in his profession—he was offered a professorship (chair of Roman Law) at the University of Dorpat—Kandinsky began painting studies (life-drawing, sketching and anatomy) at the age of 30.

Piet Cornelies Mondrian Piet Mondrian, one of the founders of the Dutch modern movement De Stijl, is recognized for the purity of his abstractions and methodical practice by which he arrived at them. He radically simplified the elements of his paintings to reflect what he saw as the spiritual order underlying the visible world, creating a clear, universal aesthetic language within his canvases. In his best known paintings from the 1920s, Mondrian reduced his shapes to lines and rectangles and his palette to fundamental basics pushing past references to the outside world toward pure abstraction. His use of asymmetrical balance and a simplified pictorial vocabulary were crucial in the development of modern art, and his iconic abstract works remain influential in design and familiar in popular culture to this day.

David Hockney David Hockney is a British artist known for his paintings of life in California. Hockney captured the hedonistic spirit, culture, leisure pursuits, people, and weather of Los Angeles in his vibrant Pop Art paintings. “I prefer living in color,” the artist once said. Hockney’s work is noted for its smooth, vibrant hues, as in his famous Swimming Pools series. Also working within printmaking, photography, set design, and now iPad drawings, he credits Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse for influencing his distinctive painting style.

Andy Warhol Andy Warhol (/ˈwɔːrhɒl/; born Andrew Warhola; August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture, and advertising that flourished by the 1960s.
