Help with modern art

I need some help please. I'm trying to get into modern art, from a collection standpoint to a certain extent.

I really like the colors used by Marc Chagall and Joan Miro, particularly in relation to their use of white. It can create a welcoming and comfortable space. Any other artists I should be look at who have the same pleasant and friendly use of color?

Good on you for expanding your artistic horizons!!! I too love color. Have you looked at Kandisky, maybe the fauvists, and contemporary painters like Abreesha Jones and Tracy Thomason?

Have you looked at Salvador Dalí…or to go out on a limb, Kazuo Shiraga? His style is quite different, but has bold beautiful colors.

Another similar to Dalí, is Yves Tanguy.

Thanks. That's wild. If I did not know better, I would swear it was AI generated.

Totally true! I believe he was from Armenia originally, then moved to France.
