In his early life, he studied at the National Academy of Design in New York under Charles Hawthorne (1924-29). The article mentions that during the summers he stayed at “Provincetown, Massachusetts, where he took additional study also under Hawthorne and others. From Hawthorne, Humphrey received a background of painterly development (rich colours, using pigment to liven and enrich texturally his paintings).” He decides to return to Saint John in Canada after studying abroad. The article states that Humphrey “stayed in Saint John, and by about 1935 had already begun to achieve national recognition.” Unlike many other painters where they have another job or wealthy background, he does not do anything but paint full time. The article suggests that he has never attempted to “mix art with other methods of earning a livelihood; nor, though he has had his ups and downs, has he ever succumbed to the temptation to be regional for mere regionalism¹s sake.” Although this

Hayden also strikes a steadiness between the conflicting claims of the ideal and the real showing that one cannot be stated apart from the other.The realities of imagination and the actualities of history are assured together in a union that makes neither thinkable without the other. Hayden‟s poetry suggests that since the horrible actualities of life

David Hockney was an English artist who worked in Los Angeles. Hockney was well trained in many different studios, including lithography, painting and photocollage. Hockney experimented with all sorts of ideas, including an entire painting in mainly warm colours and done in reverse perspective. A lot of his older work also dealt with issues that were previously shunned by most of society and made slight references to his homosexuality.
