Jan van Noordt was a Dutch portrait painter of the Golden Age of Dutch painting. He is known for his paintings of historical and pastoral scenes as well as portraits, especially of children.
Jan van Nordt originally painted historical works for the free market: biblical and mythological scenes as well as scenes from popular plays of the time. In the late 1650s he began painting portraits by patronage, which allowed him to return to historical painting. During the 1660s his style moved from a dynamic elegance to a mature and rugged manner.
John Baldessari was an American conceptual artist known for his work featuring found photography and appropriated images. He lived and worked in Santa Monica and Venice, California.
Initially a painter, Baldessari began to incorporate texts and photography into his canvases in the mid-1960s. In 1970 he began working in printmaking, film, video, installation, sculpture and photography. He created thousands of works which demonstrate — and, in many cases, combine — the narrative potential of images and the associative power of language within the boundaries of the work of art. His art has been featured in more than 200 solo exhibitions in the U.S. and Europe. His work influenced that of Cindy Sherman, David Salle, Annette Lemieux, and Barbara Kruger among others.
