Ed Mell, Sidestepper (March 2009) Mell’s new work includes both realistic and abstracted landscapes, figurative and florals, as well as a new bronze titled Sidestepper. In this edition of 30, Mell captures the energy of a horse with a cowhand at its side. In the painting Running Horses, he plays with the movement of equine in an abstract manner. 
The Jungle The Jungle was painted by Wilfredo Lam in 1943 in Havana, Cuba. I chose this piece because it’s a great example of nonwestern art that combines a mixture of various styles in a non-traditional way.

Braque, Georges. Cabez de Mujer. c. 1908. Oil on canvas In 1907 he was impressed by Cezanne’s retrospective at the Salon d’Automne and he met Picasso, in whose studio he saw Demoiselles d’Avignon. Braque began collaborating with Picasso on a new approach to painting, a process that lasted for over five years. Together they created an art movement that is now called Cubism. 
The theories of Cobra A few CoBrA artists were not only involved with making art works but also with theorising about art and the role of the artist in society. Asger Jorn, Christian Dotremont and Constant Nieuwenhuys were very much preoccupied with this. They positioned themselves according to the communist theories of Karl Marx and supplemented his ideas with views on art. Their aim was to have art made for and by everyone, irrespective of class, race, intellect and educational level. Jorn, Dotremont and Constant aspired to an art form that spontaneously evolved out of the artist’s fantasy.
