WIT, Jacob de
Dutch Rococo Era Painter, 1695-1754
Dutch painter, draughtsman, etcher and writer. He was the leading 18th-century Dutch decorative painter, specializing in Rococo ceiling and room decorations and groups of putti painted naturalistically in colour or as imitation reliefs in grisaille. His preparatory drawings for ceiling decorations were collected during his own lifetime, but he also executed independent finished drawings specifically for collectors Related Paintings of WIT, Jacob de :. | Saints augustine and hubert burning incense at an altar | Flowers of fruits and tray with chalkboard glasses out of blown glass | Portrait of the Mariana Victoria of Spain, Infanta of Spain and future Queen of Portugal; eldest daughter of Philip V of Spain and his second wife Eli | Altai-mountains carpet with prepared warrior out of the graves of Pazyryk | Madonna del Parto | Related Artists: John Henry Twatchman1853-1902
John Henry Twatchman Galleries Diego RiveraMexican Social Realist Muralist, 1886-1957,Mexican muralist. After study in Mexico City and Spain, he settled in Paris from 1909 to 1919. He briefly espoused Cubism but abandoned it c. 1917 for a visual language of simplified forms and bold areas of colour. He returned to Mexico in 1921, seeking to create a new national art on revolutionary themes in the wake of the Mexican Revolution. He painted many public murals, the most ambitious of which is in the National Palace (1929 ?C 57). From 1930 to 1934 he worked in the U.S. His mural for New York's Rockefeller Center aroused a storm of controversy and was ultimately destroyed because it contained the figure of Vladimir Ilich Lenin; he later reproduced it at the Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City. With Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros, Rivera created a revival of fresco painting that became Mexico's most significant contribution to 20th-century art. His large-scale didactic murals contain scenes of Mexican history, culture, and industry, with Indians, peasants, conquistadores, and factory workers drawn as simplified figures in crowded, shallow spaces. Rivera was twice married to Frida Kahlo. Johan-Erik, Lim Johan OlssonSwedish, 1965-1944
