Know Your (American 1950s - 1960s) Artists
All men this time - painting, at their peak in America in the 1950s and 1960s. Not to be too bleak but which one committed suicide? which one died in a car crash? which one was shot a whole load of times, and survived, but died on the operating table years later? Who left us just recently? and who's got a major retrospective on at present?.....

Failed Experiment
A couple of articles were posted simultaneously a short while ago - (below) - one about 'Young Artists' and one about 'Big Brother', with the intention of seeing which would be more likely to attract comments. If it was a competition then 'Big Brother' won with 8 posts, to 'Young Artists' 1 post. Although, now having done this, I'm not exactly sure what the intention was... could anyone enlighten me?
Know Your Artist (?) French late 1800s
All painting in France in the 1800's, (except one, who went off somewhere), there's a Dutch and American artists amongst this lot - Who are they then? (Next - Women Artists, followed by contemporary artists)
