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.

Hopper began art studies with a correspondence course in 1899. Another of his teachers, artist Robert Henri, taught life class. Years of struggle[edit] Summer Interior (1909)

Piet Mondrian
Pieter Cornelis "Piet" Mondriaan, after 1906 Mondrian (/ˈmɔːndriˌɑːn, ˈmɒn-/;[1] Dutch: [ˈpit ˈmɔndrijaːn], later [ˈmɔndrijɑn]; 7 March 1872 – 1 February 1944), was a Dutch painter. 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.

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.
