Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opera.

One of the most audacious of the exceptional generation of artists who studied at the Slade School of Art under Henry Tonks, and which included Mark Gertler, Stanley Spencer, C.R.W. Nevinson, and Dora Carrington.[1] Bomberg painted a series of complex geometric compositions combining the influences of cubism and futurism in the years immediately preceding World War I; typically using a limited number of striking colours, turning humans into simple, angular shapes, and sometimes overlaying the whole painting a strong grid-work colouring scheme. He was expelled from the Slade School of Art in 1913, due to the audacity of his breach from the conventional approach of that time.
Sonia Delaunay

He was an important figure of the Russian avant-garde, helping develop suprematism with his mentor, Kazimir Malevich, and designing numerous exhibition displays and propaganda

Amadeo Clemente Modigliani is best known as the Italian artist who left behind striking oil paintings and sculptures of women with
distinctively elongated faces and pinched lips. But a new video by New York’s Jewish Museum in honor of a current exhibit might make the artist better known for something else entirely: his habit of introducing himself, “Je m’appelle Modigliani. Je suis Juif.” My name is Modigliani. I am a Jew.
And what a Jew he was. Born into one of Livorno’s most prominent Sephardic Jewish families, Modigliani was bound for prominence. His mother was descended from a long line of Talmud scholars and intellectuals, which may have included the famously excommunicated Dutch philosopher
Baruch Spinoza. His father was a successful entrepreneur—until, that is, the family’s lucky streak ended.
Modigliani’s birth may have saved the family from total financial ruin, thanks to an ancient Italian law that prohibits creditors from seizing the bed of a pregnant woman, but ill fortune found them. As a child, Modigliani suffered from pleurisy and typhoid fever, and he never did fully regain his health. He died of tubercular meningitis at age 35 in Paris. The next day, his fiancé Jeanne Hébuterne, who was eight months pregnant at the time, jumped to her death. The couple left behind one elder child, hundreds of works of art, 6000 documents, and a much contested legacy.

Philip Pearlstein is an American painter best known for Modernist Realism nudes. Cited by critics as the preeminent figure painter of the 1960s to 2000s, he led a revival in realist art. As a child his parents supported his interest in art, sending him to Saturday morning classes at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Museum of Art. In 1942, at the age of 18, two of his paintings won a national competition sponsored by Scholastic Magazine, and were reproduced in color in Life magazine. He is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus with paintings in the collections of over 70 public art museums.

A man to consult and a little like the good Lord", and he was also one of Paul Gauguin's masters.

Engraver
Victor David Brenner (born Avigdor David Brenner; was a Litvak-American sculptor, engraver, and medalist known primarily as the designer of the United States Lincoln Cent which is the longest-running design in United States Mint history, and perhaps the most reproduced piece of art in world history. Brenner's design had been picked by President Theodore Roosevelt, who had earlier posed for him in New York. Since arriving nineteen years earlier in the United States, Brenner had become one of the nation's premier medalists. Roosevelt had learned of Brenner's talents in a settlement house on New York City's Lower East Side and was immediately impressed with a bas-relief that Brenner had made of Lincoln, based on the early Civil War era photographer, Mathew Brady's photograph.
Roosevelt, who considered Lincoln the savior of the Union, the greatest Republican president and also considered himself Lincoln's political heir, ordered the new Lincoln penny to be based on Brenner's work and that it be produced to commemorate Lincoln's 100th birthday in 1909. The likeness of President Lincoln on the obverse of the coin is an adaptation of a plaque Brenner executed several years earlier and which had come to the attention of President Roosevelt in New York.
