    I always thought that art in the USA was similar to that done in Uganda. The way art is presented on this website, it seems that there is a great difference between what is there and what is here. I can see that the artists are working more with popular images in their presentation of ideas. Yet here in Uganda, the artist is so much int0 inventing new ideas normally called 'abstract art'. How can art come together as an activity rather than an invention of ideas and presentations?

    http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/seductive_subversion/ This large-scale exhibition examines the impact of women artists on the traditionally male-dominated field of Pop art. It reconsiders the narrow definition of the Pop art movement and reevaluates its critical reception. In recovering important female artists, the show expands the canon to reflect more accurately the women working internationally during this period. The exhibition features more than fifty artworks by Chryssa, Niki de Saint Phalle, Rosalyn Drexler, Marisol, Yayoi Kusama, Jann Haworth, Vija Celmins, Lee Lozano, Marjorie Strider, Idelle Weber, and Joyce Wieland, among others.

    i want to first thank and appreciate everyones effort in trying to make sure that this association/group keeps moving towards a positive direction. i used to think that usa painters and graphic designers were way too exceptional compared to the ones here, but now i know that people here can do well or even better in the same field. but i also know that we can all do better in art only when we are willing to help each other and work together. this makes me believe that we have good artists just like those in usa. but ofcourse, i have to admit that paintings and graphics from usa have a little class that we need to get to here. am very grateful to everyone. God bless u all.

    I used to think before that Us artists( painters) were more abstract than any other in this world. but depending on the information i got from this adress, they are more realistic,neat and love landscapes. but any way its quite different here in uganda because it involves more of absract art.

    The site you bookmarked are paintings from the past century in Europe, primarily France and England and not art from USA artists. Here's a link to an online gallery of work by graduate students and alumni of the School of Visual Arts at Penn State: https://www.sova.psu.edu/online_gallery/online_gallery

    My perception about Graphic Design was different. The designers in uganda have alot to learn in terms of simplicity, legibilty and readability of the message, athough some of them have learnt about you there is still more to lear especially use of typography to convey messages.
