French Cubism
Armand Schonberger (1885–1974) stands as a captivating figure in the tapestry of early 20th-century modernism, a painter whose brush bridged the delicate light of Impressionism with the fractured, rhythmic energy of Cubism.

Alfred Henry Maurer, роден на 21 април 1868 г. в Ню Йорк, беше американски художник, чието творчество се откроява като важна част от ранния американски модернизъм. Животът му бе белязан от противоречия – от несъгласие с баща си относно съвременните изкуства до трагичен край, който остави след себе си неизказано наследство. Maurer се бори с финансови затруднения и липсата на подкрепа през по-голямата част от кариерата си.
38/ 47
István Farkas 1887–1944
