Alain Jacquet...........Again

Camouflage Botticelli (Birt of Venus) (1963-64) is a famous work of his. In a series of camouflage paintings, he often used motifs from older, very famous paintings, such as in this case from the painting The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli.

You can see the influence of Pop Art really clearly here with the bright colours and his use of shapes and words.

Alain Jacquet

I found this artists called Alain Jacquet. He was a french artist representative of the American Pop Art Movement. Above are examples of his camouflage works that he painted with oil paints. They use a variety of neutral and vibrant colours all blending in with each other. Some of the shapes are related the military use of camouflage.

Andy Warhol - Camouflage Self Portrait

Here is a portrait of Andy Warhol that uss traditional military camouflage. It uses a polaroid photograph of him, with the material of acrylic polymer paint and silk screen printing to produce a camouflage pattern over the face surrounded by black.

Everyday Use of Camouflage

I have found examples of everyday use of comouflage. I found that not all camouflage has to be military or relate to the military. On the left is a picture of a camera that is blending in with the wall behind it. From looking straight on you wouldnt be able to see the camera because it is blending in with its surroundings. On the right is a picture of a fish and pebbles. It took me a while to locate the fish as the colours were the same as the pebbles. I think that these examples are good and are showing everyday use of camouflage.

Military Camouflage

Following the summer brief I have found out that the traditional use of camouflage is for military use. You can see here that the colours are organic and relate to the earth. This allows people to blend in with thier surroundings easily. The patterns and shapes are very simple and abstract.
