Constantin Brâncuși ( Romanian pronunciation: [konstanˈtin brɨnˈkuʃʲ] ; surname sometimes spelled Brâncuș ; February 19, 1876 – March 16, 1957) was a Romanian -born sculptor who made his career in France . As a child he displayed an aptitude for carving wooden farm tools . Formal studies took him first to Bucharest , then to Munich , then to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris . His abstract style emphasizes clean geometrical lines that balance forms inherent in his materials with the symbolic allusions of representational art . Famous Brâncuși works include the Sleeping Muse (1908), The Kiss (1908), Prometheus (1911), Mademoiselle Pogany (1913), The Newborn (1915), Bird in Space (1919) and The Column of the Infinite (Coloana infinitului) , popularly known as The Endless Column (1938). Considered the pioneer of modernism , Brâncuși is called the patriarch of modern sculpture.

Henry Moore
Henry Spencer Moore OM CH FBA (30 July 1898 – 31 August 1986) was an English sculptor and artist. He was best known for his semi- abstract monumental bronze sculptures which are located around the world as public works of art . His forms are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically depicting mother-and-child or reclining figures. Moore's works are usually suggestive of the female body, apart from a phase in the 1950s when he sculpted family groups. His forms are generally pierced or contain hollow spaces. Many interpreters liken the undulating form of his reclining figures to the landscape and hills of his birthplace, Yorkshire .

Impressionism
Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence during the 1870s and 1880s in spite of harsh opposition from the art community in France. The name of the style is derived from the title of a Claude Monet work, Impression, soleil levant ( Impression, Sunrise ), which provoked the critic Louis Leroy to coin the term in a satiric review published in the Parisian newspaper Le Charivari . Characteristics of Impressionist paintings include relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes; open composition ; emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities (often accentuating the effects of the passage of time); common, ordinary subject matter; the inclusion of movement as a crucial element of human perception and experience; and unusual visual angles.
Vincent van Gogh
Self-portrait with Bandaged Ear, Easel and Japanese Print , January 1889, Oil on canvas, 60 × 49 cm., Courtauld Institute Galleries , London (F527) Vincent Willem van Gogh ( UK / ˌ v æ n ˈ ɡ ɒ x / , US / ˌ v æ n ˈ ɡ oʊ / ; [ note 1 ] Dutch: [vɑŋ ˈɣɔχ] ( listen ) ; 30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch post-Impressionist painter whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color, had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] he died at the age of 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no gun was ever found). [ 3 ] [ note 2 ] His work was then known to only a handful of people and appreciated by fewer still. Van Gogh loved art from an early age. He began to draw as a child, and he continued making drawings throughout the years leading to his decision to become an artist.

Paul Cézanne ( US / s eɪ ˈ z æ n / or UK / s ɨ ˈ z æ n / ; French: [pɔl sezan] ; 1839–1906) was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter whose work laid the foundations of the transition from the 19th century conception of artistic endeavour to a new and radically different world of art in the 20th century. Cézanne can be said to form the bridge between late 19th century Impressionism and the early 20th century's new line of artistic enquiry, Cubism . The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cézanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.
