Picasso painted mostly from imagination or memory, and he preferred to paint individuals whose lives had impacted his own. In a sense, Picasso’s work constitutes a “vast pictorial autobiography.” The autobiographical nature of Picasso’s art is reinforced by his habit of dating his works, often to the day. He explained that he wanted “to leave to posterity a documentation that will be as complete as possible. That’s why I put a date on everything I do.”https://www.biography.com/artist/pablo-picasso
Van Gogh took up art as an adult, yet his early commissioned work did not meet expectations for his clients. He persevered by experimenting with lighting and using different drawing materials, and he knew that all he needed was more experience and technical expertise. Color interested him greatly as having a “psychological and moral weight.” Van Gogh strove to be a painter of rural life and nature, and he believed that a power existed behind the natural. His beliefs allowed him to create paintings that are filled with symbolism, and his dream came true one painting after another.https://www.biography.com/artist/vincent-van-gogh
When Monet traveled to Paris to visit the Louvre, he saw other painters copying from the “old masters” or other painters of skill. Monet would instead go and sit by a window and paint what he saw. He thought in terms of colors and shapes rather than scenes and objects, and he rejected the academic teachings he has been accustomed to. He freed himself from theory, saying “I like to paint as a bird sings.” Because of this, Monet has been described as “the driving force behind impressionism.”https://www.biography.com/artist/claude-monet
In third grade, Warhol had Sydenham’s chorea, a disease of the nervous system that causes involuntary movements of extremities. The disease caused him to be bedridden as a child, so he drew, listened to the radio, and collected pictures of movie stars around his bed to pass the time. Looking back, Warhol says that this period was very important in the development of his personality, skill-set and, preferences. Warhol started his career in magazine illustration and advertising, then moved to designing shoes, and began to make paintings of iconic American objects such as the Campbell’s Soup Cans, Coco-Cola bottles, and celebrities when he was in his forties. His work was popular and controversial. He said, “What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca-Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca-Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca-Cola, too.”https://www.biography.com/artist/andy-warhol
nearly fatal injuries. Her dreams of becoming a doctor came to an end because of the pain and illness she would endure for the rest of her life. During her recovery, she began to paint. She said it was her way to “begin again, painting things just as I saw them with my own eyes and nothing more.” She had an easel made that allowed her to paint in bed, and had a mirror above it so she could see herself. Throughout her life, she moved constantly with her husband and successful artist, Diego Rivera. These moves inspired Kahlo’s artistic style in many ways as she gathered a sense of identity and history, and began to draw inspiration increasingly from Mexican folk art.https://www.biography.com/artist/frida-kahlo
