Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser was an Austrian visual artist and architect who also worked in the field of environmental protection.
Hundertwasser stood out as an opponent of "a straight line" and any standardization, expressing this concept in the field of building design. His best known work is the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, which has become a notable place of interest in the Austrian capital, characterised by imaginative vitality and uniqueness.
Alfons Walde was an Austrian expressionist painter and architect.
He studied architecture at the Higher Technical School in Vienna, but became interested in painting, found his muse in his native Kitzbühel Alps and became famous for his paintings of their snow-covered slopes and mountain huts. He was particularly fascinated by the dashing skiers of the time. Walde's popularity grew along with the popularity of the ski resort. Walde was also an active graphic artist and designed many posters.
Edmund Dulac is a British and French artist, book illustrator and graphic artist.
Edmund drew a lot since childhood and, after graduating as a lawyer, decided to take up art: he studied at the Toulouse Academy of Fine Arts and at the Academy of Julian. At the age of 22, he settled in London and received an order from the publisher J. M. Dent to illustrate the novel "Jane Eyre" and other works of the Brontë sisters. He then became a regular contributor to Pall Mall Magazine and joined the London Sketch Club, where he met the leading book and magazine illustrators of the day.
These acquaintances opened a wide road for the young talented artist. Dulac decorated many editions of Andersen's fairy tales, works by Shakespeare, Edgar Poe, Omar Khayyam and others with his magical pictures. Working with the famous animator Walt Disney, he participated in the development of the type of Snow White, and his most famous work is considered the image of the Princess Boudour.
Later, Dulac worked in a variety of fields, including newspaper cartoons, theatrical costumes and sets, medals, and even postage stamps, including those commemorating the coronation of King George VI (1937), the beginning of Queen Elizabeth II's reign, and the Summer Olympics (1948).
