Ernst Wilhelm Nay was a German painter and graphic designer of classical modernism. He is considered one of the most important painters of German post-war art.
Pierre Soulages was a French painter, printmaker, and sculptor. In 2014, François Hollande described him as "the world's greatest living artist."
Soulages is known as "the painter of black," owing to his interest in the colour "both as a colour and a non-colour. When light is reflected on black, it transforms and transmutes it. It opens a mental field all its own." He saw light as a work material; striations of the black surface of his paintings enable him to reflect light, allowing the black to come out of darkness and into brightness, thus becoming a luminous colour.
Simon Dittrich is a German painter and graphic artist who lives and works in Stuttgart, Munich, Tuscany and Styria.
Dittrich studied painting at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin, is a member of the Munich and Darmstadt Secession, and a member of the Sudeten-German Academy of Sciences.
Simon Dittrich's early works are dominated by landscapes, animals and still lifes, characterized by varied color and clear lines that emphasize contours. His later works, however, gravitate towards figurative concepts with an abstract tendency.
