Olja Ivanjicki (1931-2009) was a well-known Serbian contemporary artist, in fields such as sculpture, poetry, costume design, architecture and writing, but was best-known for her painting. She had no fewer than 87 individual exhibitions at home and abroad.
Active since the 1950s, she came to prominence in Serbia with Mediala, a group of painters, writers, and architects, founded in 1959, which had a significant impact on Belgrade's public and cultural life in the late 1950s/early 1960s. Ivanjicki was the only female painter in the Mediala group. She won a Ford Foundation scholarship in 1962, and migrated to the United States, where she was introduced to pop art.She did not stay in the USA for an extended period of time, choosing to return to her homeland, where she was credited with introducing the pop art.She was also a member of ULUS, a Belgrade artists' association, and a one-time Deputy Governor of the American Biographical Institute and a Deputy Director General of the International Biographical Center based in Cambridge, England.
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter whose work had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art for its vivid colors and emotional impact. He suffered from anxiety and increasingly frequent bouts of mental illness throughout his life, and died largely unknown, at the age of 37, from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Little appreciated during his lifetime, his fame grew in the years after his death. Today, he is widely regarded as one of history's greatest painters and an important contributor to the foundations of modern art.
Body art is one of the earliest forms of artistic expression know to humankind. It has been used to indicate status, religious devotion, desired protection against evil and disease, and much more.
Today, people express many different reasons for getting various forms of body art. Some of them are a means of personal expression, while others continue to decorate their bodies as a means of commemorating an important event/time in their live.
