Artist's Biography – (50-75 words): Andreas Gursky was born in Leipzig, Germany but grew up in Dusseldorf. Andreas was the son of a commercial photographer. He went to Germany's State Art Academy, Kunstankademie Dusseldorf, and was trained y Hilla and Bernd Becher. He was highly influenced by John Davies, a British landscape photographer. Gursky's style is taking street level pictures and enhancing the colors on the computer to make them pop.
Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words):I think his style is very interesting. I love how he makes the colors really pop, and how they are a wide range of colors. I personally wouldn't take pictures like his, but I do like what he does. I would like to see him use this concept on other things, maybe not such a huge area but rather something smaller. My favorite by him is Shanghai. I love the color and the movement.
