Biography

David Michel Wiener is an American artist and serial entrepreneur. His father, Sam Wiener, [1] is also an artist, and his grandfather Samuel G. Wiener was an architect featured in the documentary “Unexpected Modernism” [2] and an artist (painter). David worked as an apprentice to George Silk to become one of the youngest professional photographers shooting Formula One, Indianapolis 500, America's Cup, [3] and US Open Events during his teenage years. David was represented at that time by Focus On Sports, A New York City-based agency. Before graduating from Hampshire College, [4] he was the subject of a PBS documentary, “Human Power”, featuring the vehicles he designed and built for the Human Power World Speed Championship in 1981. When he was at college, he invented a low-slung three-wheel bicycle that could go 60 miles an hour. [5] For David, art represents many things such as aesthetics, self-expression, and something to share. His creative and entrepreneurial work has crossed diverse industries such as fashion for sportswear, avant-garde furniture, custom Porsches, [6] manufacturing and designing audio speakers for important brands such as Ferrari. In recent years, David has turned his creative attention to produce artwork. He channeled his photography as the source medium to create modern abstract pieces with specific subject matter that brings the detail of life into critical focus.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Modern art</span> Artistic works produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s

Modern art includes artistic work produced during the period extending roughly from the 1860s to the 1970s, and denotes the styles and philosophies of the art produced during that era. The term is usually associated with art in which the traditions of the past have been thrown aside in a spirit of experimentation. Modern artists experimented with new ways of seeing and with fresh ideas about the nature of materials and functions of art. A tendency away from the narrative, which was characteristic of the traditional arts, toward abstraction is characteristic of much modern art. More recent artistic production is often called contemporary art or postmodern art.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Land art</span> A form of art creation

Land art, variously known as Earth art, environmental art, and Earthworks, is an art movement that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s, largely associated with Great Britain and the United States but that also includes examples from many countries. As a trend, "land art" expanded boundaries of art by the materials used and the siting of the works. The materials used were often the materials of the Earth, including the soil, rocks, vegetation, and water found on-site, and the sites of the works were often distant from population centers. Though sometimes fairly inaccessible, photo documentation was commonly brought back to the urban art gallery.

Karl Joseph Maria Drerup was a leading figure in the mid-twentieth-century American enamels field. Trained as a painter, Drerup taught himself to enamel in the early 1940s, fusing glass to metal through a high-temperature firing process. Through his inventive, "painterly" approach to the medium, he advanced enameling to new levels of beauty, power, and expressiveness. Drerup's love of nature is apparent in every detail of his intimate woodland scenes, just as his depictions of humble workers in natural settings reveal his profound respect for humanity. A modest, self-deprecating individual, he exerted an enormous impact on the generation of enamel artists that emerged in the United States in the period immediately following World War II.

Bruno Civitico was an Italian-born American painter, draughtsman and teacher. He is widely considered to be "a major player in the development of Classicism," and "one of the most important artists of the Neoclassical Figurative revival movement."
