Help. Roy Lichtenstein. Roy Fox Lichtenstein (pronounced /ˈlɪktənˌstaɪn/; October 27, 1923 – September 29, 1997) was an American pop artist. During the 1960s, along with Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and James Rosenquist among others, he became a leading figure in the new art movement. His work defined the basic premise of pop art through parody.[2] Favoring the comic strip as his main inspiration, Lichtenstein produced hard-edged, precise compositions that documented while it parodied often in a tongue-in-cheek humorous manner. His work was heavily influenced by both popular advertising and the comic book style. He described pop art as "not 'American' painting but actually industrial painting".[3] His paintings were exhibited at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City.
Whaam! And Drowning Girl are generally regarded as Lichtenstein's most famous works,[4][5][6] with Oh, Jeff...I Love You, Too...But... arguably third.[7] Drowning Girl, Whaam! Early years[edit] Career[edit] Rise to prominence[edit] Later work[edit] Francis Bacon. Francis Bacon in his studio Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992) was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his bold, graphic and emotionally raw imagery.[1] His painterly but abstracted figures typically appear isolated in glass or steel geometrical cages set against flat, nondescript backgrounds. Bacon began painting during his early 20s and worked only sporadically until his mid-30s. Unsure of his ability as a painter, he drifted and earned his living as an interior decorator and designer of furniture and rugs.
Later, he admitted that his career was delayed because he had spent too long looking for a subject that would sustain his interest.[2] His breakthrough came with the 1944 triptych Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion which sealed his reputation as a uniquely bleak chronicler of the human condition. During his lifetime, Bacon was equally reviled and acclaimed. Bacon's birthplace at 63 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin. Jean-Paul Sartre. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Œuvres principales Compléments Jean-Paul Sartre, né le dans le 16e arrondissement de Paris et mort le dans le 14e arrondissement[1], est un écrivain et philosophe français, représentant du courant existentialiste, dont l'œuvre et la personnalité ont marqué la vie intellectuelle et politique de la France de 1945 à la fin des années 1970.
Intransigeant et fidèle à ses idées, il a toujours rejeté les honneurs ; il a notamment refusé le prix Nobel de littérature en 1964 ; exception notable, il a cependant accepté le titre de docteur honoris causa de l'Université de Jérusalem en 1976. Sa relation particulière avec Simone de Beauvoir est un autre élément de sa notoriété. Leurs philosophies, bien que très proches, ne sauraient être confondues, même si les deux auteurs se sont influencés mutuellement.

He was well known for his unique style of drip painting. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety, a major artist of his generation. Regarded as reclusive, he had a volatile personality, and struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy.[1] Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related, single-car accident; he was driving. Early life[edit] Pollock was born in Cody, Wyoming, in 1912,[4] the youngest of five sons.

Edward Hopper. Edward Hopper (July 22, 1882 – May 15, 1967) was a prominent American realist painter and printmaker. While he was most popularly known for his oil paintings, he was equally proficient as a watercolorist and printmaker in etching.
Both in his urban and rural scenes, his spare and finely calculated renderings reflected his personal vision of modern American life.[1] Biography[edit] Early life[edit] Childhood home of Edward Hopper in Nyack, New York Hopper was born in upper Nyack, New York, a yacht-building center on the Hudson River north of New York City.[2] He was one of two children of a comfortably well-off, middle-class family.
His parents, of mostly Dutch ancestry, were Elizabeth Griffiths Smith and Garret Henry Hopper, a dry-goods merchant.[3] Although not so successful as his forebears, Garrett provided well for his two children with considerable help from his wife’s inheritance. Hopper was a good student in grade school and showed talent in drawing at age five. Road in Maine (1914) Piet Mondrian.

Mondrian's arrival in Paris from the Netherlands in 1911 marked the beginning of a period of profound change. He encountered experiments in Cubism and with the intent of integrating himself within the Parisian avant-garde removed an 'a' from the Dutch spelling of his name (Mondriaan).[3][4] The Netherlands (1872–1911)[edit] In this house, now the Villa Mondriaan, in Winterswijk, Piet Mondrian lived from 1880 to 1892 Mondrian was born in Amersfoort in the Netherlands, the second of his parents' children.[5] He was descended from Christian Dirkzoon Monderyan who lived in The Hague as early as 1670.[3] The family moved to Winterswijk in the east of the country when his father, Pieter Cornelius Mondriaan, was appointed Head Teacher at a local primary school.[6] Mondrian was introduced to art from a very early age.
