His deconstructive forms are iconic as tourists flock to all of his buildings worldwide to marvel at the architectural forms he creates.

His ability to create spaces that manipulate forms and surfaces is his most notable feats and we all love his unique uses of materials that almost defy all logic in how they work together.His most notable projects include: The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Der NeueZollhof in Düsseldorf and the Marqués de Riscal Vineyard Hotel in Elciego.
France is known for its dedication to promoting the arts, thus it's no wonder that there are many famous French painters. France is considered by most art history scholars as the birthplace of Impressionism and is itself considered home to a variety of artists both new and old.
Paul Cézanne(January 19, 1839 - October 22, 1906)was a French artist and Post-Impressionist painter. The line attributed to both Matisse and Picasso that Cezanne "is the father of us all" cannot be easily dismissed.Cezanne's work demonstrates a mastery of design, colour, composition and draftsmanship. His often repetitive, sensitive and exploratory brushstrokes are highly characteristic and clearly recognisable. He used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields, at once both a direct expression of the sensations of the observing eye and an abstraction from observed nature.
Georges Braquewas a Parisian painter from the 20th century. He was most well known for being the founder of Cubism alongside famous artist Pablo Picasso. In addition to the invention of Cubism, he did also focus on other forms of art which were prominent during this time period as well. He did work which touched on impressionism, fauvism, and even focused on collage styles of work, which brought together a series of imaginative pieces, bold colors, and distinct shapes and styles to his work.
Gustave Courbet French painter Gustave Courbet went against mid-19th century Romanticism and led the Realism movement toward the beauty of everyday life. Courbet was a painter of figurative compositions, landscapes and seascapes. He also worked with social issues, and addressed peasantry and the grave working conditions of the poor. His work belonged neither to the predominant Romantic nor Neoclassical schools.

Modern American Painters American painting has always been influenced by art made in other parts of the world. Good American painting borrows from art history and either imparts a lesson or tries to effect social change. Great American painting does all of this and makes you feel something too.
Jasper JohnsMuch of the work that he created led the American public away from the expressionism form, and towards an art movement or form known as the concrete. He would depict many flags and maps, and this created a more distinct style with the work that was being done during this period in American art history. “To be an artist you have to give up everything, including the desire to be a good artist.”-Jasper Johns
Thomas Coleis often called the "Father of the Hudson River School of Art." In 1826 he helped to found the National Academy of Design in New York City. In 1827 he made his first visit to the White Mountains. While best known for his allegorical paintings such as theVoyage of Life and the Course of Empire series, he did many White Mountain paintings including Flume in the White Mountains; View of Mount Washington; Mount Chocorua; Notch of the White Mountains; View Near Conway; and Mount Washington from the Upper Saco Intervale.

Edward HopperEdward Hopper's classic works captured the realities of urban and rural American life with a poignancy and beauty that have placed them among the most enduring and popular images of the 20th century. This exhibition of about 48 oil paintings, 34 watercolors, and 12 prints will reveal Hopper (1882–1967) as a creator of compelling images who produced remarkably subtle and painterly effects in both oil and watercolor. It will also examine how his images were seen in his own time.

Impressionism a style of painting that began in France around 1870, that uses spots of color to show the effects of different kinds of light, and that attempts to capture the feeling of a scene rather than specific details Impressionism is a 19th century artistic movement that swept much of the painting and sculpture styles of the period. It was not just a passing fad but has defined an entirely modern way of expressing one’s artistry that eventually rubbed of in other art forms like literature and photography.
The impressionist style of painting is characterized chiefly by concentration on the general impression produced by a scene or object and the use of unmixed primary colors and small strokes to simulate actual reflected light.
Impressionist Artists Pierre-Auguste Renoir (25 February 1841 – 3 December 1919) was among the leading French painters in the impressionist style which a distinctly emphatic focus on feminine beauty. His impressionist nudes were his signature subjects with details that are freely suggested in brushed color, allowing the subject to blend with the surroundings. The single largest archive of his opus is at the Barnes foundation in Philadelphia.

Edgar Degas (19 July 1834 – 27 September 1917) was born Hilaire-Germain-Edgar De Gas and was regarded as among the Parisian artists who founded impressionism, though he rejected the term and preferred to be called a realist. He was famous for his printmaking and drawing, aside from sculpture and painting, all making a significant body of work that added weight to the impressionist movement of his time.

Oscar-Claude Monet (14 November 1840 – 5 December 1926) was considered the founding father of the impressionist painting style that started in Paris and was the most prolific in the genre. To talk about impressionism is to talk about his body of work. It all started in 1872, when his Impression, Sunrise, exhibited in the landmark 1874 anti-establishment show spawned the word Impressionist from an artist critic. That same painting is now displayed in the MuseeMarmotan Monet in Paris.
Jean Monet on his Hobby Horse Springtime Oscar-Claude Monet was a founder of French Impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting.
