Stuart Davis "The Mellow Pad": He seems to use the letters more as just pictures, less as actual letters. The way he combines them makes a very colorful collage.
Jasper Johns "Numbers in Color": Johns' use of numbers in his art is interesting because even though you can tell they're numbers, it is still somewhat difficult to see them that way. His use of all the different colors makes some of the numbers pop while some almost just blend into their background
Jean Michel Basquiat "Leeches": I found this artwork very interesting. The use of words and letters almost makes this picture seem like the ramblings of a madman and it gives the art character.
Pablo Picasso "Still Life with Bottle of Rum": Picasso uses the letters here almost as just more background. It looks as if they were part of a poster of billboard in the scene he painted and he has just moved them around.
