However, the subject matters, contributing to artists, were not meant to represent the ever-changing world around them. Rather, how the world around them affected the artist themselves. The works swayed by such worldly influences, become an important article within the artists’ pieces.

The picture of Oscar Wilde is still fuzzy and incomplete but in the popular imagination, he remains an iconic, larger-than-life figure - largely because of his public persona and modus vivendi: He was a flamboyant dandy and a brilliant wit; a refined, decadent aesthete. Profes-sionally, he produced excellent prose pieces and composed arguably only mediocre poetry and he vociferously proposed unconventional theories about art and aesthetics. Yet, Wilde continues to be shrouded in this heavy fog of mystery. He is above all an inscrutable enigma. While he may at times give away the real and authentic nature of his complex self, at other times this self cunningly conceals itself behind a mask. In this sense, Wilde

“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul,” said William Maugham, a British playwright from the 19th century. Vincent Van Gogh, an artist who is considered by many one of the most inspirational artists in history, was no stranger to depicting his struggles in life or feelings in his work. Van Gogh’s piece Starry Night, designed in the year 1889, shows this to be true in that it was the result of his experiences in an asylum that encouraged this piece. Despite this work has being so well known, many critics and observers of the piece have differing views on what he was trying to communicate through it.

In the early fifties, the United States witnessed the emergence of the hydrogen bomb and Miltown sedatives, a Cold War repression and consumerism began to shape the post-war society. In this unshaped world, the abstract expressionists materialized their desperate striving for spontaneity, freedom and the re-discovery of self and the human context. Their romantic, anti-capitalist hope, with all its weaknesses and contradictions, was telling them that the values embedded in their art could overcome the artistic concept and transform society. Behind this impulsive energy, there was the rigorous life choice, which required a total commitment. Pollock’s words perfectly described this tendency "Painting is my whole life." It is hard to imagine a greater contrast for the cowardly cynicism of the postmodern art world. American abstract expressionists didn’t want to conform to the ruling political and social ethos – Newman, Rothko and Adolph Gotlieb were convicted anarchists. Abstract expressionism, also known as the heroic abstraction, New York school, gestural painting and action painting was the last big attack of postmodernism on the ruling culture, the end of painting as the symbol of opposition and breakthrough.
