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! Early years[edit] Career[edit] Cap de Barcelona, sculpture, mixed media, Barcelona Lichtenstein entered the graduate program at Ohio State and was hired as an art instructor, a post he held on and off for the next ten years.

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. Biographie[modifier | modifier le code] « Je n’essaie pas de protéger ma vie après coup par ma philosophie, ce qui est batard, ni de conformer ma vie à ma philosophie, ce qui est pédantesque, mais vraiment, vie et philo ne font plus qu’un. » Carnets de la drôle de guerre — Sartre autres

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.

Arts: Green Living
Recycle plastic for environment, Richmond Arts Center shows the way For long plastic bags and bottles have been our great friends in daily life, mindless of all the hazardous effect that plastic has on environment. But, the thought of a life without plastic seems to be grueling, as there is no other cheaper way to get out of the mire. Also, discarding plastic waste in open is extra perilous for the environment. The kids at the Visual Arts Center of Richmond have shown us the way to a cleaner environment. In today’s world, the job that we are best at handling is spoiling the sacred, serene environment.

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 was a good student in grade school and showed talent in drawing at age five. In his early self-portraits, Hopper tended to represent himself as skinny, ungraceful, and homely. 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)
