The artist that I research on are:
Artist and their famous artwork
1. Rene Magritte -Surrealist
Pipe (1928)
2. Ellsworth Kelly -Minimalist
Red Yellow Blue Black and White (1950s)
3. Jasper Johns - Surrealist

4. Marcel DuChamp - Dada
Fresh Widow (1920,1964)
5. Ben Vautier - Neo Dada
Total Art Match Box (1965)
6. Joseph Kusoth - Conceptual Art
One and Three Chairs (1965)
7. Marina Abramovic (1973)
Performance Artist
8. Christopher Wool (1980s) - Post Conceptual
Design large stenciled letterforms
9. Barbara Kruger - Contemporary Art
You Are Yourself (1981)
Concept of artwork which relates to typography
1. Rene Magritte + Jasper Johns
Their text is unrelated to their painting
2. Ellesworth Kelly + Marina Abramovic
Do not use text visually for their art piece
3. Joseph Kusoth + Ben Vautier
Uses text in a different way (explanation/ self thought meanings)
4.Marcel DuChamp
Art can be ideas instead of wordly things
5. Christopher Wool
-Uses inscrutable phrases
-Do not follow the usual way on how to a text is wrote. ( No spaces between words)
6. Barbara Kruger
-Uses text to give out powerful message
QUESTIONS
Can text be eliminated in the art world?
Does text play an important role in the art world?
Is the use of text in artwork reliable?
Why do we use text?
Is the use of text in artwork necessary?
I wanted to ask all of this questions for the artist I've researched and evaluated above but without realising this topic is based mainly on typography, asking questions about the elimination of typography does not make justice to the topic. Besides that, I also thought that the topic asked about artists and not designers. Therefore, I only researched on artists.
This idea was then rejected.
I was then told by my lecturer to change the main point for my essay by comparing two artists. One from modernism and the other one from postmodernism/contemporary. By evaluating both artists with similarities and difference, the criteria of my essay will be met. Furthermore, the question statement can be asked based on the style difference between both of the artist. A lecturer also told me to use a specific medium to compare the styles of the artists. For example, a poster, album cover, logo, etc.
