Charles Csuri, The father of digital art

            Charles Csuri was born July 4, 1922.  He is a specialist in the field of Computer graphics (animation, and digital art).  And note this, was once a college football player.  In 1964 Csuri made the first computer art in 1964, being recognized as the father of digital art.  Now that is big; when your recognized as the father of your craft that mean you’re more than good and experienced at what you do.
Charles Csuri was so passionate about what he did that he set up a computer graphics research group.  He then became co-founder of the first computer animation production companies.  He even received an award for the best individual artist in 2000. 
I personally chose to research Charles Csuri because his style of digital art caught my eye.  His work is daring, colorful, and not too abstract.  The image of the two horse remind me of a dream.  The man in back of the horse looks as if he is trying to tame the horse.  My interpretation of it is wild horses in a meadow.   His art is just beautiful and most linear, where the viewer is still able to recognize the shapes. 
In my art i like to tell a story about my life experiences or others.  I also am a perfectionest, and like Charles Csuri, my art is based on portraying the human figure in many ways.

  1. I saw some of his work and I think it is good. The color that he uses draws the attention of the viewer.

  2. I think the point you make about being a perfectionist is pertinent--Csuri is able to create "perfect" paintings through digital art, wheras a real painting could not be so smooth, and maybe his critics need to think about that!
