After getting the syphilis disease that had a negative effect on his brain, he attempts to commit suicide and fails. After his failed suicide attempt, he is confined to an asylum where he dies. On the other hand, Ernest Hemingway was born in Illinois and eventually became a volunteer ambulance driver. After getting married, he gave up journalism for fiction. Like Maupassant, Hemmingway moved to Paris where he met a few expatriates.
The style he painted was modern art and Impressionism. He struggled with mental illness and remained poor and virtually unknown throughout his life. He travelled to many different places during his lifetime like Arles France and Paris. Van Gogh died in France on July 29, 1890, at the age of 37 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He started his first job at the age of 15 when he quitted studies because of his family finically crisis.
Later on he met, Eugene Boudin. Eugene helped Monet master oil paints and “plein air” techniques. In 1857, Monet’s mother died so he had to leave school to live with his aunt. He travel to France and since he would bring paints everywhere, he would sit by the window and paint the view. His life in Paris also brought him closer to other painters.
It is almost as if he is crying out in anguish. Maybe this was a hint to what was in van Gogh’s future because two years after he painted The Starry Night he committed suicide. In Sol DeWitt’s, Wall Drawing No. 681, he too express his personality by the way he uses line. The way he divides the wall into four equal squares that are separated and bordered by a black band.
In this painting, Diego expresses the pain and sorrow on the day he and Frida lost their son. The painting is a reflection of a moment where Diego is looking out the window with a background that was a deflection of the city in an old form, not what was true to form at that time. The painting was full of vibrant colors, details of the moment in the room, and the view outside. Diego painted this portrait from the loss he experienced with Frida of their child. Frida painted from her pain of her accident and the reflections of losing a child.
This is shown through some of the key characters in the film: Meryl, Nick and Julia. Meryl provides an excellent example of someone who has been traumatised by her experiences with death, especially in her family. Her father’s death left her floundering and disorientated, such that her own view of life and death became distorted and fatalistic, making trite comments such as “maybe it was meant to be”. Combined with the impact of watching a man get run over by a train in front of her, her mental health has severely been damaged, made evident by the flashes of paintings that signify her imagination, filled with morbid scenes of her own death played out in countless different scenarios.

Although he briefly trained as a Naval Surgeon, Ferguson soon realised that his ambition was painting and he spent some time travelling in Spain, Morocco and France to develop his artistic knowledge and experience. The first painting I am going to discuss is 'The Pink Parasol' which is a portrait painted in 1908 of a fellow artist and friend Bertha Case, when they were both in Paris. In this painting Ferguson adopted much stronger colours than in his other paintings and like Matisse used green paint to represent shadows in the face. He emphasised pattern by merging the pink parasol with the background of his picture by blending it with the cold colours. The painting is of a woman peering over her shoulder, she is wearing a hat with a pink bow and is also wearing a scarf, in the background there is a pink parasol around strong blocks of cold colours.
Pablo Picasso, as he known by, was the son of Don José Ruiz Blasco, a painter and art teacher with whom Picasso studied under until he was thirteen years old, when he surpassed his father’s skill. When he was fourteen, his family moved to Barcelona, where he accepted into the city’s school of fine arts, despite the school generally only accepting older students. Two years later, Picasso moved to Madrid to attend the Royal Academy of San Fernando which only lasted two years due to the school’s lack of variety to appeal to Picasso (“Pablo Diego José…”). In 1901, Picasso moved to Paris to open his own studio. He found it to be the ideal place to practice new styles and art forms (“Pablo Picasso Biography”).
In 1911, he was exposed for the first time by the works of the cubists Braque and Picasso, at an exhibition in Amsterdam. He later moved to Paris in 1912, where he lived and studied. In 1938, he moved to London for two years where he became befriended with a couple of artist. Mondrian moved to New York in October of 1940, where he concluded his career with monumental works. Piet Mondrian died of pneumonia in 1944 at a New York hospital.
