George Grosz
George Grosz was a German artist know for his savage caricatures of Berlin life in the 1920s. He likened people at official receptions to insects "The ladies dresses are like iridescent wings of beetles, the men's dinner suits like dark duny beetles. And how insect-like is their omnivorous greed at the ample buffets!"
Robert Rausenberg
Robert Rausenberg's works very much anticipated the pop art movement. He is well known for his "Combines" of the 1950s, in which non-traditional materials and objects were employed in innovative combinations. He relied mostly on his own photography but he did incorporate imagery from the commerical print media. He did prints on a variety of material including silk, cotton and cheesecloth as well as three dimensional constructions of cloth, paper and bamboo in an Oriental manner.

L.S. Lowry
Born in 1887 in Stretford, London. He had a very basic range of colours, mixed on his palette and painted on the white background. His images were of what he saw during work.
