which artist, graphic designer or photographer uses pattern?

Answer 1

William Morris, Brigit Riley.......just a couple to start you off

Answer 2

M.C. Escher is the most obvious choice for an artist! It doesn't hurt that he is one of my favorites too. He is famous for creating tessellations.

A tessellation is created when a shape is repeated over and over again covering a space without any gaps or overlaps thus forming a pattern.

Here is his official website:

Look at his artwork in the picture gallery from Picture gallery "Back in Holland 1941 - 1954" on. I think you will find these very helpful.

If you go to Barnes&Noble online you can order a book called:
M.C. Escher: Visions of Symmetry
by Doris S. Schattschneider, M. C. Escher

If your really interested in him you should try and create some of his tessellations and become your own art director. It's really easy and kinda fun. Check out this website:
http://www.tessellations.org/

Just another random tid bit of information...
Did you know that the most symmetrical people in our society are supermodels? Why do you think symmetry is considered beautiful?

I would say that ALL craft-persons,designers, artisans, artists, call them what you will have used pattern at one time or another. Pattern is an important element of art, and exists quite extensively in nature.It could be considered to be closely allied to texture which again is an important element of art and exists again extensively in the natural world.

If this is for a project I would suggest by starting with a search of definitions for the word, concept, thoughts on pattern.

Then devote considerable time to exploring pattern and textures in the natural world first, then the man-made world. You could tackle this in many ways, search the web for images of both pattern and texture, use a camera to collect examples of both.

Having done that, begin to explore 'mankind's' versions of pattern and texture. These can range from camouflage through to any art form. The problem is in deciding where to finish.

If you want a brief re'sume' of artists then here is only a few.

Bridget Riley (painter) leading exponent of 'Op Art' (optical art), used optical interference patterns to great effect. Also used mathematical number patterns such as Fibonacci series.

Piet Mondrian and other Netherland artists of the 'De Stijl' movement from 1917, including Theo Van Doesburg.

Many artists of the 'Bauhaus' movement in Germany.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh, from the Art Nouveau period.

Artists of the 'Futurism' movement used pattern in their work, such as Giacomo Balla.

Frank Stella, from the the 'Minimal Art' movement.

The French 'pointillist' painters such as Georges Seurat painted using a particular method that could be considered a pattern or texture technique.

Josef Albers in his hamage series from the 1950's

Chuck Close used a pattern of distortion and blurring to produce work such as Cindy in the 1980's

Marchel Duchamp used pattern to describe movement in his series of nude descending a staircase, circa 1912.

Vincent van Gogh used pattern in his paintings to produce surface textures in his oil paint,streaks and swirls.

David Hockney used contrasting patterns as in 'Sun' from The Weather Series 1973.

Andy Warhol used pattern in his silkscreen productions by the use of multiple images.

Victor Vaserely with his geometric constructions. M C Escher, William Morris and Gustav Klimt that have already been memtioned by others.
Hope this is sufficient and gives you a start to move on to other things. Enjoy!
