Serge Poliakoff was a Russian-born French modernist painter belonging to the 'New' Ecole de Paris (Tachisme).
Peter Lindbergh (born Peter Brodbeck) was a German fashion photographer and film director.
Armand Pierre Fernandez, widely known by his mononym Arman, was a French-born American artist celebrated for his innovative contributions to the Nouveau Réalisme movement and his radical use of everyday objects in art. Born in Nice, France, on November 17, 1928, Arman's early exposure to art came from his father, an antiques dealer and amateur artist, which deeply influenced his later artistic endeavors.
Arman moved beyond traditional painting techniques early in his career, instead creating his signature "Accumulations" and "Poubelles" (trash) sculptures. These works involved assembling and compacting everyday items like watches, clocks, and even automobiles, embedding these objects in layers of concrete or encasing them in Plexiglas. One of his most notable large-scale works is "Long Term Parking," a 60-foot high sculpture made of concrete-encased cars, situated in Jouy-en-Josas, France.
His work is an essential bridge between European and American trends in Pop art and has been widely exhibited in major institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Tate Gallery in London, and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Arman's innovative techniques and philosophical approach to materials challenged conventional categorizations of art and inspired future generations of artists.

Jean Dufy was a French painter of the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. He is known as a painter and designer who worked in various styles, including Cubism and Fauvism.

For 30 years he designed porcelain and in 1925 at the International Exhibition of Decorative Arts, Dufy was awarded the gold medal for his design of the porcelain service Chateaux of France. Jean Dufy also helped his brother Raoul Dufy create a 600 square meter fresco for the Electricity Pavilion at the 1937 World Fair in Paris.
Jean Dufy's work was exhibited in prestigious museums and galleries throughout his career. Today his paintings are in the public collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Pompidou Center in Paris, the Albertina Gallery in Vienna and other world art centers.
