William Nicholson was a British painter of still-life, landscape and portraits. He also worked as a printmaker in techniques including woodcut, wood-engraving and lithography, as an illustrator, as an author of children's books and as a designer for the theatre.
Avigdor Arikha (Hebrew: אביגדור אריכא) was a Romanian-born French–Israeli artist, printmaker and art historian.
Arikha painted directly from the subject in natural light only, using no preliminary drawing, finishing a painting, pastel, print, ink, or drawing in one session. His profound knowledge of art techniques and masterly draughtsmanship enabled him to abide by this principle of immediacy, partly inspired by Chinese brush painting.
Erik Andriesse was a Dutch painter.
He belonged to the Dutch Nieuwe Wilden movement. In 1988, he won the first prize in graphics of the Prix de Rome.
Émile Bernard, a French painter, was a significant figure in the Post-Impressionist movement. He is most famously associated with the development of Cloisonnism, a painting style characterized by bold outlines and flat, vivid color planes, and he played a role in Synthetism, a synthesis of forms and colors in art.
Bernard's artistic journey was influenced by his interactions with notable artists such as Paul Gauguin, Vincent van Gogh, and Louis Anquetin. His works, which often explored themes of symbolism and religious imagery, ranged from traditional paintings to engravings and illustrations. One of his notable works, "Madeleine au Bois d'Amour," is displayed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Despite his early success and influence, Bernard's artistic trajectory took a turn towards classicism later in life, distancing himself from the avant-garde styles he once embraced. His extensive travel experiences, particularly his time in Egypt, significantly impacted his art, leading to a broader range of stylistic elements in his later works.
