Massimo Campigli was an Italian painter and writer. He was studied art in Florence and Paris.
Campigli's art was heavily influenced by the Cubist and Surrealist movements, and his paintings often featured bold, geometric shapes and stylized figures. He was known for his use of bright colors and flat planes of color, which gave his work a sense of depth and dimension.
In addition to his art, Campigli was also a writer, and published several books and essays on art and literature throughout his career. He was a member of the Italian Communist Party, and his political beliefs often informed his work.
Campigli's art was widely exhibited throughout Europe and the United States during his lifetime, and he received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the arts.
Today, Campigli is considered one of the most important Italian painters of the 20th century, and his work continues to be studied and exhibited around the world. His legacy has had a significant impact on the development of modern and contemporary art.
Arthur Kampf was a German painter. He was associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.
Kampf's work is most strongly associated with the genre of traditional history painting, though throughout his lifetime he explored styles influenced by Impressionism and Art Nouveau. He was also celebrated for large scale portrait work and in particular children's portraiture. Kampf also worked extensively as an illustrator, contributing drawings to volumes by Shakespeare (1925), R. Herzog, History of Prussia (1913) and J.W. Goethe, Faust (1925). Kampf's artwork post World War II largely focused on religious themes.
Theo Champion was a German painter. His work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics.
Wilhelm Imkamp was a German painter and a student of the Bauhaus and is one of the most important abstract painters of the post-war period in Germany.
Even though Imkamp made over 500 portraits in his lifetime and thus secured his income for several years of his life, abstract painting is and remains the core of his work. His paintings were created without sketches and preliminary studies, he always painted several pictures at the same time and let a composition emerge in many individual steps from the interaction of colour and form alone. Impressions from nature and music were his sources of inspiration, which played a part in the creative process, but in the end a completely new world of images emerged, on the basis of which the picture titles were also found. Imkamp's work is clearly recognisable as a Bauhaus student, strongly influenced by Wassily Kandinsky's colour compositions, Paul Klee's narrative span and Lyonel Feiniger's structured use of space. Over the years, however, he developed a very independent artistic position among the students of the Bauhaus.
