Willem de Kooning (April 24, 1904 – March 19, 1997) was an abstract expressionist artist, born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
In the post-World War II era, de Kooning painted in a style that came to be referred to variously as Abstract expressionism, Action painting, and the New York School. Other painters that developed this school of painting include Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, Hans Hofmann, Robert Motherwell, Philip Guston and Clyfford Still among others.

Olav Christopher Jenssen (born in Sortland, Norway, in 1954) studied from 1976 to 1979 at the Statens Håndverks- og Kunstindustrieskole in Oslo, and from 1980 to 1981 at the Statens Kunstakademie in Oslo. He continued his studies abroad, first in New York and then in Berlin until 1983. Now living and working both in Berlin and in Lya, Sweden, Jenssen was in 1996 appointed Professor of painting at the Hochschule für Bildende Kunst in Hamburg as a successor to Sigmar Polke. He first participated in exhibitions in 1977. In 1992 Jenssen participated in the Documenta IX in Kassel, where the Lack of Memory series was exhibited together with works by Bruce Marden and Jonathan Lasker. An exhibition of Jenssen's works was held at Studio N at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki in 1993. He has also had solo shows in Finland, for instance in Galerie Artek in 1988, 1991, and 1995, and at the Nordic Art Centre in 1993.
Olav Christopher Jenssen's paintings may evoke a trace of a romantic-mystical landscape painting, combining the artist's experience of nature and his inner landscape, the landscape of the soul. This interpretation has its origin in the strong Scandinavian tradition represented by the landscape painters of the 1800s and artists such as Carl Fredrik Hill and Edvard Munch. The romantic depiction of nature with religious undertones is often supported by the artist's own strong, expressive interpretation of the subject. Nevertheless, taking into account the sign language associated with the paintings, Jenssen's misty and hazy landscapes can be regarded from a novel point of view.
In Jenssen's paintings the border between the figurative and non-figurative is blurred. In his early works he used recognisable forms as part of a composition. Later in the 1980s the shapes used by the artist suggested the smallest particles of living nature, such as plant tissue and protozoa. In his works Jenssen uses signs and texts improvised by the free movement of a hand. Their origin refers to subconscious automatic writing, which was used as a method of surrealist art. Indeed, Jenssen admits to being influenced by Paul Klee. He maintains his spontaneous working method by drawing constantly, even when he is travelling. By marking down in the drawing the time and place of its creation he connects the work with the present. For Jenssen, drawing is a way of clearing and analysing the relationship between forms and objects, which he claims not to be able do to by thinking alone. He finds all his paintings and drawings to be of equal importance and worth preserving. A past subject or form may resurface, as a stimulus for a new theme.
The 1980s saw an increased interest in painting. Paintings emphasised figurativeness, expressiveness, and an airy picturesqueness. The post-modern trend also toyed with elements and subject matter connected with earlier trends. During his stay in New York in 1981 Olav Christopher Jenssen became acquainted with the abstract impressionism of the 1950s, representative of an informal and non-figurative style. This contributed to Jenssen's understanding of an abstract form language. These ideas he combined with the tradition of romantic landscape painting. Jenssen was also interested in decorative, ornamentally-shaped details, accentuating the surface of the painting, and the strong vertical or horizontal divisions, which find a softer interpretation in his works.
His move to Berlin in 1982 took Jenssen into the very heart of a vigorous and emotionally appealing painting centre. The politically sensitive phase in the still divided Germany was reflected in the artists' expressive and fierce way of painting; their works dealt with grand, mythological stories or depicted the frenzied, urban lifestyle. Jenssen, however, finds his own range of subjects in quiet and inconspicuous everyday life, which in his productions is transformed into an uplifting and insightful experience.
After an intensive 2-year painting session Jenssen completed in 1992 a group of forty large paintings entitled Lack of Memory. The paintings Aphasia, 1990-91, Lapidary, 1991-92, and Serpentine, 1992. The name of a work is an important part of the painting process. The name provides the work with a finishing touch, its ultimate meaning. For Jenssen the concept of Lack of Memory means the absence of memory as distinct from a 'lock of memory', the loss of memory. This general concept refers to a moment of standstill, an emotion here and now which is isolated from the ballast of memory, the past, or the future.
The Lack of Memory series proved an important turning point in Jenssen's career. The long painting process allowed him to experiment with various working methods. He used different techniques in different paintings, such as spreading the paint on the canvas with a brush, by hand, or with a palette knife. Colour schemes were chosen both from the sensitive dark shades and from an expressive palette, non-primary colours such as green, purple, and orange. Instead of the basic forms of a triangle, square, or a circle, Jenssen used free forms which could be associated with nature. The painting does not let on whether the subject depicted is microscopically small or whether the spirals refer to something larger such as the stellar system, for example.

Arshile Gorky, original name Vosdanik Adoian (born April 15, 1904, Khorkom, Van, Turkish Armenia [now in Turkey]—died July 21, 1948, Sherman, Conn., U.S.), American painter, important as the direct link between the European Surrealist painters and the painters of the American Abstract Expressionist movement.
Gorky’s early life was disrupted when his father abandoned Turkey, his wife, and his family in order to avoid service in the Turkish army. The rest of the family soon fled to Armenia to escape Turkish persecution and were subsequently dispersed. In 1920 Gorky emigrated to the United States, where he rejoined his sister in Watertown, Mass., and assumed the pseudonym by which he became known. The name Arshile is derived from Achilles, the brooding Achaean hero of the Iliad. The name Gorky (Russian for “the bitter one”) is derived from that of the writer Maksim Gorky.
After studying painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, Gorky enthusiastically entered into the Bohemian life of Greenwich Village in New York City, occasionally passing himself off as a successful Russian portraitist who had studied in Paris and experimented with Automatism. From 1926 to 1931 he taught at the Grand Central School of Art. Early in his career, he hit on the idea of becoming a great painter by subjecting himself to long apprenticeships, painting in the style of such artists as Paul Cézanne, Joan Miró, and Pablo Picasso. His aim was never merely to imitate the work of others, however, but to assimilate fully their aesthetic vision and then move beyond it.
Gorky remained stylistically unable to move beyond the work of his mentors until about 1939, when he met the Chilean Surrealist painter Roberto Matta. The Surrealists’ idea that art is the expression of the artist’s unconscious enabled Gorky to discover his personal idiom, which he pursued the last eight years of his life. In such works as “The Liver Is the Cock’s Comb” (1944) and “How My Mother’s Embroidered Apron Unfolds in My Life” (1944), biomorphic forms that suggest plants or human viscera float over an indeterminate background of melting colours. The erotic significance of the loosely painted forms and elegant, fine black lines is often made explicit in such titles as “The Diary of a Seducer” (1945) and “The Betrothal II” (1947). The years that saw Gorky finally emerge as one of the most important painters in the United States were marked by personal tragedy, however. In early 1946 he lost many of his paintings in a studio fire, and soon after he underwent an operation for cancer. In June 1948 his neck was broken in an automobile accident and he lost the use of his painting hand. His wife left him the following month, and shortly thereafter he hanged himself.
Guillermo Kuitca is an Argentinean artist who was born in Buenos Aires in 1961, where he continues to work and live. Kuitca's work has been shown extensively around the globe, and is included in many important public collection, including The Tate Gallery, England; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC ; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY and The Daros Collection, Zürich, Switzerland . Kuitca represented Argentina at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Recurrent themes of travel, maps, memory, and migration can be found in Kuitca’s work.
In the early and mid-1980s, Kuitca made works which incorporate theater imagery. Many paintings from this period feature figures on a stage-like platform, with titles often inspired by plays, literature and music. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Kuitca began to integrate the subjects of architecture and topography in his work, often exploring the confluence of communal and private spaces. The floor plans of public institutions, such as those found in the “Tablada Suite” series, geographical maps, and genealogical charts begin to serve as important references during this period.” In 1992, Kuitca created his first works which incorporated the image of a painted bed, “often small and forlorn on the canvas.” Afterwards, the artist used the motif of an apartment floor plan, middle-class and compact, with only one bathroom. This floor plan would eventually lead to maps, theater plans and baggage carousels. Kuitca continued to explore organizational systems, in his “Neufert Suite” (1998) and “Encyclopédie” (2002) series. In his “Global Order” (2002) works, Kuitca combines a world map with architectural plans for interior spaces, “identifying borders and notions of ‘place’ as the changing products of human invention.”
Kuitca is well known “for his use of maps – particularly his transcriptions of topography onto mattresses” Kuitca says he uses the image of a map “to get lost… not to get oriented.” Stemming from his experimentation with aerial views of floor plans, Kuitca moved to maps because “he liked the way they occupy a space somewhere between the abstract and the representational.”
Kuitca’s retrospective “Guillermo Kuitca: Everything, Paintings and Works on Paper, 1980–2008” opened at the Miami Art Museum in 2009, and traveled to the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo (19 February– 30 May 2010), New York, the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (26 June – 19 September 2010) and will concluded at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. (21 October 2010 – 9 January 2011).

Born in Quiévy, Nord, he studied drawing at the École des Beaux-Arts de Lille, from 1898 to 1901, when he settled in Paris. The initial influence of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism visible in paintings that he sent to the Salon des Indépendants in 1906 gradually gave way to an involvement with Cubism after his move in 1909 to the Bateau-Lavoir studios, where he met Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque and Juan Gris; he was also encouraged by his friendship with Wilhelm Uhde. His work was exhibited in the same room as that of Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes and Fernand Léger in the Salon des Indépendants of 1910, and in 1912 he participated in the influential Section d'Or exhibition.
After producing his first abstract paintings in 1917, Herbin came to the attention of Léonce Rosenberg who, after World War I, made him part of the group centered on his Galerie de l'Effort Moderne and exhibited his work there on several occasions in 1918 and 1921. Herbin's radical reliefs of simple geometric forms in painted wood, such as Colored Wood Relief (1921; Paris, Musée National d'Art Moderne), challenged not only the status of the easel painting but also traditional figure–ground relationships. The incomprehension that greeted these reliefs and related furniture designs, even from those critics most favorably disposed towards Cubism, was such that until 1926 or 1927 he followed Rosenberg's advice to return to a representational style. Herbin himself later disowned landscapes, still-lifes and genre scenes of this period, such as Bowls Players (1923; Paris, Musée National d'Art Moderne), in which the objects were depicted as schematized volumes.
Haven't painted in awhile; these are older works, but ones I'm very proud of. Abstract Expressionism...my favorite school of art and my favorite way to paint. Going to get back into it soon in addition to my photography.

Natalia Goncharova was born in Nagaevo village near Tula, Russia in 1881. She studied sculpture at the Moscow Academy of Art, but turned to painting in 1904. She was deeply inspired by the primitive aspects of Russian folk art and attempted to emulate it in her own work while incorporating elements of fauvism and cubism. Together with her husband Mikhail Larionov she first developed Rayonism. They were the main progenitors of the pre-Revolution Russian avant-garde organising the Donkey's Tail exhibition of 1912 and showing with the Der Blaue Reiter in Munich the same year.
The Donkey's Tail was conceived as an intentional break from European art influence and the establishment of an independent Russian school of modern art. However, the influence of Russian Futurism is much in evidence in Goncharova's later paintings. Initially preoccupied with icon painting and the primitivism of ethnic Russian folk-art, Goncharova became famous in Russia for her Futurist work such as The Cyclist. She moved to Paris in 1921 where she designed a number of stage sets of Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. She became a French citizen in 1939.
On June 18, 2007 Goncharova's 1909 painting Picking Apples was auctioned at Christie's for $9.8 million, setting a record for any female artist. The record was updated a year later, when Goncharova's 1912 still-life The Flowers (formerly part of Guillaume Apollinaire's collection) sold for $10.8 million.

Fang Lijun (born 1963, Handan, Hebei province, China) is an artist based in Beijing [1]. He was born into a wealthy family with a high social status. In the 1990s, there was a cultural movement[1] in China referred to as Cynical Realism of which Fang Lijun was a membe. Living in China during this critical time [2] shaped his worldview in terms of his views on art, human values and morality.
During his time at school, he met LiXianting (who would later be a famous critic) and was introduced to watercolors, oil paints and ink. Fang Lijun decided to leave high school to pursue his artistic dream. He made a decision to go to Hebei Light Industry Technology school to study ceramics for three years. However, Fang Lijun did not want to stop his studies there. Instead of having an intellectual job in ceramics department, he prepared himself to take the entrance exam to enroll at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing.
At the beginning of 1992, Fang Lijun moved to Yuanmingyuan village in north-west Beijing.[5] Due to the economy and other difficult cultural issues, painters wanted to create a utopia where they could freely paint and express themselves. That was when Yuanmingyuan village drew artists' attention. At the time, painters like Fang Lijun had to face many obstacles and challenges, particular financial issues. Fang Lijun and other artists like him had paint for a living due to the economic pressure.
Fang Lijun made a large number of works featuring the subject "bald heads".[7] Under the influence of his family and friends, his art expresses the freedom, the integrity in two different settings: traditional and modern era, and the will of making a change.[8] He explained in an interview that he wished to send a message about the lives of painters through bald-head figures. The bald headed traditional Chinese men are viewed as dumb or stupid.[9] Through these figures, he is sending a message about morality and how people define what is normal based on physical appearance, rather than internal moral character. Fang Lijun values the individual stories of each person. He is asking the society to look at painters as normal people, as people who are making a change, rather than as eccentric outcasts.
In his paintings, he also uses elements of water and flower a lot. Water plays a big role in Fang Lijun's paintings. On an interview, he explained that water is helping him convey a message about his feeling and his voice about the truth and what is going in Chinese society.[10] His famous work with water is the guy being drowned in the water. Part of the reason for this paining relates to his childhood experience when he was almost drown.[11] The second and most important part relation about this painting is he is expressing his feelings about the Chinese society. When the guy is drown in the water, that guy is representing for painter like Fang Lijun.[12] He feels like he does not have a voice, that he is powerless in this societal structure and that he cannot even make his own decision or speak the right truth. Also, his hope is to freely go and move in the water metaphorically. He is hoping to be able to speak for himself, for other artists and to inspire everybody.
He is one of the artists who is standing in the middle line between traditional and modern practice. For example, he still follows the process of the carving wood with the negative image, coats it with ink and then impresses the image on the paper.[13] Because one art projects requires different color immersion, Fang uses different plates and a set order of printing on different adjoined scrolls. Each scroll represents for one individual against the mass which leads to "personal probity" in facing adversity.[14]
The earliest exhibition about the Cynical Realism was done by Fang Lijun and Liu Wei.[15] "Wanshi"-Cynical Realism which is translated into English is "cynical'. However, this English term cannot fully cover the whole meaning of the attachment of reality and life. The figures in Cynical Realism's paintings were cynical, distorted and accidental. In each of these painting, there is a sense of "self - mockery and ridiculous snippets of the surrounding circumstances".[16] Different metaphysical questions and searches were discarded by this Cynical Realism. Fang Lijun said: "The bastard can be duped a hundred times but he still falls for the same old trick. We'd rather be called losers , bores, basket cases, scoundrels, or airheads, than ever be cheated again".[17] Leading the Cyncial Realist movement after 1989, "Fang Lijan is considered one of the most important figures in Chinese contemporary art".
