Artists who do work related to cities or buildings?

Question

I'm having a bit of trouble finding an artist for my project. My theme is cities so I want an artist who has buildings and things in their work and I would like one who does quite bright modern art.

Answer 1

If you are having to write a piece, remember to put some historical reference in, such as mentioning Canaletto and Guardi (painters of Venice, plus Canaletto painted views of London). Maybe the post-WWII artist Frank Auerbach would also interest you as he made many studies of London being reconstructed.

Answer 2

Piet Mondrian. Look at Broadway Boogie Woogie or any of his other paintings done during WW2 in New York City.
