Christian Wilhelm Ernst Dietrich, also known as Christian Guillaume Ernest Dietricy, was a German painter and printmaker.
He was born in Weimar, Thuringia, into the family of the court painter Johann Georg Dietrich, and received his first training from his father. Dietrich worked in a variety of techniques and artistic movements of his time.
The talented artist took up any subjects: stories from the Old and New Testament, allegory and mythology, as well as portraits, genre scenes, portrayed ordinary people and livestock, painted coats of arms and vignettes, and more.
In 1764, Dietrich was appointed director of the painting school of the Meissen porcelain manufactory. The following year he became a professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts. Works of Christian Wilhelm Dietrich can be found in many museums in Europe.
Gottfried Helnwein is an Austrian-Irish visual artist. He has worked as a painter, draftsman, photographer, muralist, sculptor, installation and performance artist, using a wide variety of techniques and media.
His work is concerned primarily with psychological and sociological anxiety, historical issues and political topics. His subject matter is the human condition. The metaphor for his art is dominated by the image of the child, particularly the wounded child, scarred physically and emotionally from within. His works often reference taboo and controversial issues from recent history, especially the Nazi rule and the horror of the Holocaust. As a result, his work is often considered provocative and controversial.
