Arthur Garfield Dove was an American artist. An early American modernist, he is often considered the first American abstract painter. Dove used a wide range of media, sometimes in unconventional combinations, to produce his abstractions and his abstract landscapes.

Dove did a series of experimental collage works in the 1920s. He also experimented with techniques, combining paints like hand mixed oil or tempera over a wax emulsion as exemplified in Dove's 1938 painting Tanks, in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

Arthur Clifton Goodwin was an American painter. He was a prominent member of the Boston School of painters, who were known for their impressionistic style and focus on light and color.
Goodwin initially studied at the Cowles Art School in Boston and later trained in Paris at the Academie Julian. He was deeply influenced by the work of the French Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet, and he went on to develop his own distinctive style that combined the use of bright, vivid colors and loose brushwork to capture the fleeting effects of light and atmosphere.
Goodwin's paintings were highly acclaimed during his lifetime, and he exhibited widely at major institutions including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design. He was a founding member of the Guild of Boston Artists and served as its president from 1914 to 1924.
Today, Goodwin's paintings are held in many important public and private collections, and his legacy continues to influence and inspire contemporary painters.

Bartolomeo Schedoni (sometimes Schedone) was an Italian early Baroque painter from Modena.
Schedoni's paintings often depict brilliantly lit figures set against a dark background. Great emphasis is given to the angular patterns of brightly colored drapery, which, according to the art historian Lawrence Gowing, "almost obscure the narrative content of the scene and instead disseminate a pervading sense of emotional emergency."
Bart van der Leck was a Dutch painter and designer. He was a member of the De Stijl movement, a group of artists and designers who sought to create a new visual language that reflected the modern era.
Van der Leck began his career as a decorative painter, working on a variety of projects including murals and stained glass windows. He later turned to painting, creating abstract compositions characterized by bold, flat areas of color and simple geometric shapes. His work was influenced by his interest in the visual language of non-Western art, as well as by the work of Dutch painters such as Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg.
In addition to his work as a painter, van der Leck was also a designer, creating textiles, furniture, and ceramics. He believed that art should be integrated into everyday life and worked to create designs that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Van der Leck's work played an important role in the development of the De Stijl movement, and he worked closely with other members of the group, including Mondrian and van Doesburg. His paintings and designs continue to be celebrated for their bold simplicity and their contribution to the development of modern art and design.
