Claes Oldenburg - ARTIST

One of my favorite American artist have to be Claes Oldenburg. I love how he creates works of art which are a  blend of reality and fantasy. He took objects from the everyday world such as typewriters, lipstick, a flashlight and lifted them out of their usual context, creating a new look and purpose. My favorite series have to be the soft objects. He took objects from the real world and placed them out of context. Doing this by making objects soft when they should be hard.
