Arthur Kampf was a German painter. He was associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.
Kampf's work is most strongly associated with the genre of traditional history painting, though throughout his lifetime he explored styles influenced by Impressionism and Art Nouveau. He was also celebrated for large scale portrait work and in particular children's portraiture. Kampf also worked extensively as an illustrator, contributing drawings to volumes by Shakespeare (1925), R. Herzog, History of Prussia (1913) and J.W. Goethe, Faust (1925). Kampf's artwork post World War II largely focused on religious themes.
Hans Hartung was a German-French painter, known for his gestural abstract style. He was also a decorated World War II veteran of the Legion d'honneur.
Georges Noël was a French artist, a representative of French informel.
In the mid-1950s he moved to the United States and began to create works in impasto, or, as he called them, palimpsests.
Palimpsests are old handwritten pages that have been partially scraped and then reused. Georges Noël uses the concept of palimpsest and creates his canvases with sand, crushed silica and raw pigment, giving each work a three-dimensional and energetic feel.
Georges Noël was a professor at the Minneapolis School of Art before returning to Paris.
