It is always evident when a person is different from others. They are not a blur amongst a group of people that can easily be looked over, like others. How they are different may be clear by the way they look but maybe their thoughts are what makes them interesting. Someone’s thoughts are difficult to find out just by a glance. There is a sense of curiosity to the disturbance of the ordinary. A maverick is a creative individual with a different mindset who is confident and bold. Commonly labeled an outcast they are someone who break the molds of societal norms that at the time are not encouraged but slowly become apart of the mainstream, alternating the traditional point of view. Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol both contributed to different art movements. Frida Kahlo grew up with an illness and later experience what she would call two accidents that allowed her to start her innovative life. Kahlo changed societal norms having to do with sexuality, gender roles, and a new form of expression with private and personal subjects that at the time weren’t allowed to be talked about.

The artist is influenced by everything around him. Social changes, economic situation, religion, personal situation, the environment in which he lives. All these factors influence the work of the artist. Many artists have used this influence to represent the society in which they live, creating an artistic archive, which later serves to decrypt the society in which the artist lived. These files consist of pictures, paintings, objects, installations, videos, photographs, books of notes and any work produced by the artist. The problem of memory and the past is undoubtedly central in contemporary art production. The literature is abundant and the practical number, positions, procedures and strategies is such that single enumeration of its variety is almost endless. Aside, of course, debates on the issue of the monument and its relationship to the "public" memory, usually memory practices swirling in lathe "file" problem. The file, understood as the work in the space - the display, what has been called the "archival aesthetic"-, but as a method of work around the question of "document". In this sense, it is possible to observe how a large number of artists work directly with objects, images, texts, stories, sounds... "documents" that pertain to your environment. Indexes, presences real history, that are used, post-produced - by using the notion of Bourriaud-, assembled and integrated in the work, provided through the collection and the deployment of the documentary in the

Many artists in Europe and America were influenced by the influx of Japanese design and ukiyo-e prints from the 18th and 19th centuries. Vincent Van Gogh was one such artist. While he was in Paris, he came into contact with many different styles of art, including Japanese woodblock print art, which became the source for his artistic creativity behind his work, The Courtesan (after Eisen) (see figure 1). This work is an oil on canvas painting that Van Gogh produced in 1887. The work is a form of Japonisme because Van Gogh based it on multiple Japanese artists’ block prints. Van Gogh used a block print by Keisai Eisen as the basis for the main subject of his work and he used block prints from multiple other Japanese artists’ as the basis for the border for the work. Although, he used these prints as inspiration he didn’t leave them exactly as they were, in his rendition he added brighter colors and stronger contrasts to add more dimension, and he used additional prints to frame out the final work. Vincent Van Gogh was inspired to paint the painting after seeing a reproduction of a print that was on the May 1886 cover of Paris Illustré that was by Keisai Eisen. (“Vincent Van Gogh”).
