Morton Wayne Thiebaud (November 15, 1920 – December 25, 2021) was an American painter known for his colorful works depicting commonplace objects—pies, lipsticks, paint cans, ice cream cones, pastries, and hot dogs—as well as for his landscapes and figure paintings. Thiebaud is associated with the pop art movement because of his interest in objects of mass culture, although his early works, executed during the fifties and sixties, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists. Thiebaud used heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work.

Carl Blechen, Augustan Bridge at Narni

Augustan Bridge at Narni (unfinished), 1829

Carl Blechen (July 29, 1798 – July 23, 1840), sometimes given as Karl Blechen, was a German painter who specialized in fantastic landscapes, sometimes with demons and grotesque figures. Later in his career, Blechen turned to depicting contemporary subjects with an increasingly naturalistic technique, sometimes painting directly in nature. With his Iron-rolling Mill (c. 1830) and Gorge near Amalfi (1831), Blechen became one of the first European painters to represent early industrialization in the landscape. Belonging to the generation of artists after Caspar David Friedrich and a forerunner to realists like the fellow Berliner Adolph Menzel, he is often cited as an artist "between Romanticism and Realism".
