Egon SchieleEgon Schiele (German: June 12, 1890 –

October 31, 1918) was an Austrian painter. A protégé of Gustav Klimt,

Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. His work is

noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and the many self-portraits the artist produced, including naked

self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that

characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early

exponent of Expressionism.

Edvard MunchEdvard Munch (Norwegian: 12

December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter and printmaker whose intensely

evocative treatment of psychological themes built upon some of the main tenets of late

19th-century Symbolism and greatly influenced German Expressionism

in the early 20th century. One of his most well-known works is The

Scream of 1893.

Francis Bacon Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28 April 1992)

was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his bold, emotionally charged and

raw imagery. His painterly abstracted figures are typically isolated in glass or steel geometrical

cages, set against flat, nondescript backgrounds. Bacon took up painting in his early 20s but

worked sporadically and uncertainly until his mid-30s. Unsure of his ability, he drifted as a

highly complex bon vivant, closeted homosexual, gambler, interior decorator and

designer of furniture, rugs and bathroom tiles. He later admitted that his artistic career was

delayed because he spent too long looking for subject matter that could sustain his interest.

Francisco GoyaFrancisco José de Goya y Lucientes (Spanish: 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish

romantic painter and printmaker regarded both as the last of the Old Masters and the

first of the moderns. Goya was court painter to the Spanish Crown; throughout the

Peninsular War he remained in Madrid, where he painted the portrait of Joseph

Bonaparte, pretender to the Spanish throne, and documented the war in the masterpiece of studied ambiguity known as the Desastres de la Guerra. Through his works he was both a commentator on and chronicler of his era.

The subversive imaginative element in his art, as well as his bold handling of paint, provided

a model for the work of artists of later generations, notably Édouard Manet, Pablo

Picasso and Francis Bacon.

Lucian FreudLucian Michael Freud, (8 December 1922 – 20 July 2011) was a German-

born British painter. Known chiefly for his thickly impastoed portrait and

figure paintings, he was widely considered the pre-eminent British

artist of his time. His works are noted for their psychological penetration,

and for their often discomforting examination of the relationship

between artist and model.

born May 19, 1964 in Fukuoka Prefecture) is a Japanese animator,

Alberto GiacomettiAlberto Giacometti (Italian

pronunciation: 10 October 1901 – 11 January 1966) was a Swiss sculptor, painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He was born in

the canton Graubünden's southerly alpine valley Val

Bregaglia, as the eldest of four children to Giovanni Giacometti, a well-known post-Impressionist painter. Coming from an artistic background, he was interested

in art from an early age.
