Hans Olde was a German painter of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is known as an impressionist painter and graphic artist, as well as a teacher and administrator.
Olde produced images of people, animals, landscapes, portraits and genre paintings, experimenting with pointillism. He was one of the founders of the Munich Secession and directed the Saxon Higher School of Art in Weimar. In 1911 the master became head of the Academy of Art in Kassel, playing an important role in the development of both the Weimar and Kassel academies, introducing reforms in the teaching process and supporting the admission of women artists. Olde had a significant influence on the development of the art of his time.
Francis Bacon was an Irish-born British figurative painter known for his raw, unsettling imagery. Focusing on the human form, his subjects included crucifixions, portraits of popes, self-portraits, and portraits of close friends, with abstracted figures sometimes isolated in geometrical structures. Rejecting various classifications of his work, Bacon said he strove to render "the brutality of fact." He built up a reputation as one of the giants of contemporary art with his unique style.
