J.M. Matthews Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Eugene Delacroix Pablo Picasso Vincent van Gogh Victor Hugo Jules Verne Thomas Merton Jean-Paul Sartre I would include comics and animation cartoonists, writers, and artists, but that is another thread. Any geniuses I'm leaving out Edited March 12, 2018 by J.M. Matthews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.M. Matthews Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Oh, I know, I'm not debating that some of them came from outside Paris or France, but Picasso lived in France for a long time. Merton was born there. They're all associated with France on some level, Van Gogh had a ton of influence on Parisian art, a lot of his art ended up in the Louvre, the most prestigious French Museum. I guess I'm including influence, not just citizenship. Also, Delacroix, Hugo, Jules Verne, and Sartre were still pretty diehard French I mean, you could say Bill Watterson, and Frank Miller are American, but Calvin and Hobbes and Miller have had an enormous influence on Bandes Dessinee books in the last 10 years or so. After they started achieving popularity in the publishing industry there. France is a lot less exclusionary than Japan in terms of what it considers to be part of its culture, even though France has a heavy influence on Japan. Unlike Japan, where citizenship predates influence, France adapts a lot of non-French artists into its culture. Edited March 21, 2018 by J.M.

J.M. Matthews Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Germans had influence pretty much EVERYWHERE...in 1942. But it was forced influence, not willingly. there's a pretty big difference. Germany was an influence bully. They raped their way in, not got invited. Remember? That's why the Allied Force fought against them. Edited March 23, 2018 by J.M. Matthews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCreep Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 If it weren't for Van Gogh and Picasso I'd give the whole nation of France's art and artists and flip them the bird and a nice, big loogie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
